I agree with the women's intuition here - I suspect he would have sent Jen packing because of her big mouth with the massages. I wonder if he'll mention that if he rejects her at the end. Poor Maria! She was right - Mark was not really into her as a potential partner. Seemed like he just kept her around because he enjoyed her as a friend, and maybe had a soft spot for her ... ("He's Just Not That Into You.") Well, good for her for leaving on her own terms. Imagine if she had to endure getting dumped for Amanda at the end

She did have a passport. That's what I'm getting at. She obviously had to get a passport before the start of the show so she had to know she was going to be going somewhere out of the country on a PLANE. That's why I'm so bewildered at her behavior last night - she had to know for at least three months that she was probably going to go out of the country if they made her get a passport.

I don't think it's obvious at all to think that having a passport automatically means you are leaving the country on a PLANE! How about driving across to the north or south. I know regulations have changed and they aren't necessary (yet) but it would be a good idea to have one if one were going (driving, train, bus, whatever!) across into Canada or Mexico.

Australia is a VERY long flight, too... that may have something to do with why she freaked.

Mad, phobias can be crippling. It can't be helped.....hopefully you never develop one.....because they can arise as life goes on....

I agree, Lanee, Phobias are completely irrational, no argument, but they can be crippling. Even people with phobias will agree they are unreasonable and unrealistic...but still can't help the paralyzing fear they experience.

btw, loved the scene right after Maria left, and Mark was sitting there emotionally drained, and his doggie looked up at him and cocked his head.. adorable

I still would love to know who he would have evicted if Maria hadn't taken herself out of the competition. Wonder if he will ever fess up to that. also, wonder if megan actually gets on that later flight to melbourne. and, wonder if he picks neither jen or amanda..and he asks to bring someone back.

I think he would have eliminated Megan. I think he wasn't too happy with her being drunk at the campsite. I think Jayana would still be there if Amanda hadn't said anything and Megan would have been gone then. I think he took Megan on the one on one tea date to try to get to know her better and it didn't go so well. At the talk at pre elim, he (I think unknowingly) cut her off and told her to send someone else in. If Maria hadn't quit, I think Megan would have been gone. I think he should really be thinking about when women talk about other women. They have a motive to put doubt in his mind. Even though Amanda said she got a full report on the massages, he can't know what that really means unless he sees the tape or asks Jen.

Can't believe no one is chiming in on the finale. Not surprised he chose Amanda, but, rather doubt they will make it as a couple.

I was disappointed that I could tell by the preview in the beginning of the show that he was going to eliminate Jen - could tell by the hair color. Ruined the whole thing for me

Surprise, surprise, surprise. NOT. There wasn't a snowball's chance in h--- that he'd pick such an older woman. Kind of cruel to even put her through that as she seemed like such a great woman. Perhaps if he'd been a divorced man who already had kids or a man who never wanted them at all. I don't think this couple will last long at all. Now why did I watch this show?!?!

Came to see what everyone was saying..just finished watching (recorded earelier). How sad when Jen said how she knows he would have picked her if she was younger. Accurate too IMHO. Amanda can barely make a sentence and was sooo madly in love w/him and yet tonight was their first one on one date. Anyway didn't like the ending at all but wasn't surprised (other than Kelly Ripa saying on her show early into this that her husband told her she'd be surprised by the ending. How was this surprising?). Speaking of which, what happened w/Mark Consuelos? I like him and he seemed to have vanished as host. And how weird not to have him in the finale. Last comment, I still think they needed to choose a guy who fell directly between the age groups, and Mark was much closer to the 20's. Plus can't say I cared for him too much. Oh well, from what I read he's not a real nice person anyway so probably better for Jen. And all I could see that Amanda won is a boat ride lolol.

Just seems to me that with Jen's beauty, poise, living in LA and working for the Lakers that she would be in a position to meet men who are well traveled,interesting,wealthy or at least well off frequently.She can do better then Mark anyway.<< I am biased towards slightly older men anyway.>> I taped this as I was watching "Big Love" but will still watch even though I know the outcome.

Yeah they kept saying in the teaser that if you think you know what happens, think again. But if you check my post on 7/23, I ALREADY knew. For a second, I thought he wasn't going to pick either of them! That was just silly!

I agree with Lurk that the 40 something ladies should have been closer to his age, no more than 40-42 not that Jen wasn't beautiful but 18 years difference was a lot. The youngest 20 something was only 9 years younger. Other thoughts on the show: I think his mother also influenced his choice. She wants grandkids and she also said she liked Amanda more because she was shy. Jen's maturity really came shining through during the home visit. She was a guest in someone's home and so she brought a gift, she was able to find similar ground (kids, job) so she could carry on a conversation and she was able to step right in and help in the kitchen. Jen had some of the most romantic dates with Mark, he keeps her til the end and lets her go. A friend I watch the show with pointed out that the women who went on these more romantic dates always seemed to be let go. Jayanna was let go after her white lights/hammock in the woods date and wasn't Kelly let go after a romantic date too?

Lurk and Sporty inferred exactly what i wanted to say for a long time - it was not fair to call this a social experiment between the 20s and 40s with such a stark difference in age difference - with mark being 30, the longest gap for the 20s was 9 years (megan at 21) and the closest gap was maybe 1-2 years with a 28or 29 year old while the SHORTEST gap with the 40s was 9 years - with Jayanna at 39 - and the largest was Jen at 48 and 18 years difference - they needed a male at 35

I thought the competition was over way back when he cut Adelaide. I thought if she didn't win, then Amanda would. Everything else just seemed like filler.

Completely agree about the age gap thing. This was set up to fail from the get go. They needed a more mature man. I hope this doesn't get a second run so I won't be tempted to watch!

Good idea KL, I definitely think they need to do at least one more "Age of Love" show with a women next time. It's only fair. I say either use it as a filler show during the long break in TV shows around the holidays or next summer.
