Redefining the rules of dating, or so it claims, this reality show from the creator of "The Bachelor" sets up an older woman with 20 younger men seeking to become her love interest. A series of weekly challenges helps narrow her choices down until she finds the one man who has what it takes to tame the Cougar. The premiere season introduces Stacey, a real estate agent and mother of four from Arizona, who wants to prove that age is simply a number.
