The Cougar Finale - Jimmy Wins, Then Proposes Marriage - Reality TV Circus
Jimmy, the 23 year-old personal trainer from San Francisco, was the winner of The Cougar, the highly controversial reality TV show that starred Stacey, a 40-year-old real estate broker from Arizona and her quest to find the ultimate younger man.
It all came down to two guys, Jimmy and Colt, a 25-year-old musician from L.A. in the finale. After Stacey sent the early favorite Travis packing last week, it was clear that Stacey still hadn’t made up her mind.
But after she had Jimmy and Colt spend time with her three children, two girls and a boy, it was obvious based on who got along best with her kids whom she would select.
Jimmy cooked dinner for the brood and was at ease with the whole thing, while Colt played guitar and actually seemed tense at the beginning when he talked to Stacey’s oldest, her son Graham.
That awkward conversation is what made my mind up. Also, the fact that Jimmy seemed kind of childlike, a lot like Stacey, leaned me toward that kind of thinking.
And then after she kissed Jimmy on the lips, it was sealed. Jimmy took things a step further by proposing to Stacey and offering her a ring. She accepted and now the two are engaged.
How long? Well, that’s anybody’s guess. In these kinds of shows, it can last a week, a month or even for a lifetime. But most don’t go past a week. What do you think? Will Stacey’s and Jimmy’s vow last, or is Stacey back for season two?
