He owns all the air south of Beijing

Tonight and tonight only, we at The Alan Wong will be live-blogging a monumental event...



Age of Love airs tonight on NBC. The premise is simple: take the Bachelor and make it into a two-tiered, tournament-style competition. On one side, you've got your kittens. (For those of you who failed to take notes in Misogyny 101, kittens are young women. In this case, they are women in their 20s.) On the other side, you've got your cougars. (You guessed it: older ladies. In their 40s, to be exact.)

Why does this merit the first-ever Alan Wong liveblog? Because it is about the struggle between youth and experience, age and beauty, large predatory felines and baby cats. It is the epic struggle into which our hero finds himself thrust again and again.

We will learn nothing of love. But perhaps we may learn something about life.
