Vivica A. Fox's Cougar Blog

OK, we're now at Episode 5 with just six guys left in the Cougar house! This week's first challenge was for Best Kiss: Stacey was blindfolded and the guys had to lay their best kiss on her. I loved Jon's approach, which was placing Stacey's hand on his heart and then kissing her. That was a very smart move because it was a nod to a previous date.

Adam, Joe and Travis' kisses where all rushed and had zero passion, while Jimmy laid a fabulous and very passionate kiss on Stacey. Colt did a juicy kiss as well - however, Jimmy and Jon won this challenge. Yay, Jimmy finally won a challenge!

After winning the guys got to go on a wine-tasting adventure with Stacey. Jimmy was very sophisticated and impressive -- he knew his wine. Jon was a little out of place and seemed to be so nervous with Jimmy around. And, um, PLUM wine? That was a total "What the hell?" moment for me! He needs to loosen up and show he can be more fun.

Jimmy really opened up to Stacey about his love for his brother. He cried and also said he's been dumped before; I was surprised he was so emotional. Then, OMG! He took off his shirt and got all manly with her... big points for Jimmy!

I loved the plate of questions Stacey presented to Adam and Travis. As usual, Adam clammed up and was making jokes - essentially everything but opening up to Stacey. Travis made a good comeback with the chocolate-covered strawberries and that juicy kiss. Go, Travis! Meanwhile, Jon totally blew it when he laughed at Stacey and then picked a fight with Travis. He's becoming a drama queen and is losing his mojo.

In eliminations, Joe and Jon got kissed off this week. Both of them felt Stacey made a big mistake, but I totally disagree. They both got too comfortable and revealed that they were just not the one to win The Cougar's heart. In next week's show, we have "Meet the Family" time for the cubs. I can't wait to see how this plays out!

Shopping Note: In this episode, Viv was wearing a black leather Hervé Léger dress for the kiss-off and diamond earrings by Lucy Kilisian for Barclay Jewelry.

Until next week!

TTYL,
