Ahh just another day in the life of Mark Philippoussis…
So this week, we got to meet the “beautiful women in their 20s” (repeat multiple times for effect). It was a highly entertaining episode. As much as some of the young girls can be annoying, they are highly entertaining and especially Mary, the Hemodialysis Technician. Seeing that written underneath her name nearly killed me. You’d think she’d lie and say she was a medical technician or something.
Mark had his dream scenario with the 20s in bikinis, while working the grill. Loved the phat-beats-intro music to each girl combined with the slow-mo. Totally did….nothing. The scene where he got into the hot tub and then there was silence was golden although I have my doubts that it wasn’t scripted. I mean what are the odds that six chatty young girls don’t say a word for whatever amount of time it was. Provided an easy segway to the whole “I miss the 40 year olds.” Too easy. Staples easy.
I have to say the editing in the show is pretty good. Some funny sound effects. Some funny visual effects. Not too overboard (except the phat-beats-slow-mo effect). Pretty good, although I have nothing to compare to.
Anyways, here’s a rundown of the 20s:
Lauren – “I love to eat. I love food. I love to travel.” Mark nods. “Cool” and goodbye.
In:
Amanda – She’s probably not the next to go. I think Mary is but Amanda isn’t destined to be around much longer. She doesn’t stand out. She feels a little insecure in the group situations. Confidence seems to be a requirement in these battle royales.
Tessa – “I’m very funny. I have great morals. I have great thoughts. And I need an intellectual challenge.” Did I mention she has huge boobs? Blonde? Mark had to battle his eyes from staring at her assets but won in five sets.
“Her personality is just like mine.” That is her dog’s personality. Her words, not mine.
Man I hope she stays around. A++ humor.
Mary – Where to start. Emotionally unstable. Hemodialysis Technician. Stutters when nervous (I feel for her on that one. I do that sometimes.) Trash talks about the oldies. Every little thing she does is drop dead funny. I’ll protest if she gets kicked off. TO THE GRAVE!
Megan – The baby of the group as she so eloquently put it. She seems very innocent and childish but in a cute way. She’s cute. She’s like a younger version of Adelaide. I think Mark sees it as refreshing. You’ve got the really mature 40s. The uncertain 20s. Then you have Megan. Mark was once engaged to an 18 year old. You know he likes to rob that cradle.
Adelaide – She seems to be the clear front runner of the 20s and possibly the overall leader. Mark, I approve. She’s definitely smart. BA Literature from U of Iowa and is an editor for Esquire. Talented. She sings and tap dances.
The vibe I get from her is she’s the popular girl in high school who’s confident and hot but surprises you with her congeniality, smarts, and determination. She asked Mark questions instead of the other way around and could actually make engaging conversation. These things set her apart from the pack. Like Jayanna, she’s fearless in hunting down Mark. She gets what she wants.
The 40s: As predicted, Angela was ousted. She just wasn’t very good looking. Kelli, Jayanna, and Maria seem to be treading water. Maria and Kelli aren’t in as good a position as Jayanna. Nevertheless, I like both of them more than Jayanna. They seem to be genuinely nice whereas Jayanna is a shark. Jen seemed to impress Mark in their one-on-one time, defying the age gap that exists between them. Lynn did nothing and possibly lost some ground. She needs to be more aggressive and as Mark likes to say, “show me the real you.”
The picks: If the same format holds for next week and two girls from each group gets eliminated, I’m going with Mary and Lynn, two of my favorites. Mary is just way too unstable and soon enough Mark will see it. Lynn just seems too shy and not outgoing enough to play this game. If it’s just one girl, I’d say Mary.

This is actually a decent post on this week’s episode. Nicely done. My fave out of the 20 year old bunch is def Adelaide, or as my silly bf would say, “Adeline.” Ironically, she’s also the oldest no?
Honestly I think the producers scripted a lot of what they said because seriously, they sound really immature and dumb and do not in any way represent the majority of 20+ year old women. I guess it’s ultimately a battle between looks and personality/maturity but I wish they had picked girls who are more intelligent and hence leaving age as the only single variable between these subjects. aka they should put me on the show. lol.

So yeah, we basically have the same blog…you’ve got some good stuff here.
I’ve written so much about Age of Love I have forgotten about Boston sports…I should get on that.
