"We're here to turn the tables," Vivica A. Fox tells Rachael, as she explains why she decided to create a reality show called The Cougar, about a woman in her 40s who is courted by a house full of hunky guys in their 20s. "For years, older men have dated younger women, no one says a thing. But when you see an older woman with a younger man, then heads turn! 'Oh my God, what is she doing?'" says Vivica, who wants people to see "cougars," or women who date younger men, as strong, sexy females. "When [a woman] reaches her 40s, she's in her peak. You know what you want, you know what you don't want. It's really a whole new chapter of life."

One of those women, Stacey, is a 40-year-old mother of four, who decided to go on the new TV Land series The Cougar because she is attracted to younger men. "I like the energy, the passion, the drive of younger men and I find that I have more in common with a younger man," she says. "Life doesn't stop at 40, and if you're a single mom or you've gone through some adversities in life, you can have an amazing life and live out loud no matter what your age is -- and embrace it!" And it wasn't tough for her to embrace the handsome men on her reality show. "To have 20 guys in one house at the same time vying for my attention? It was an absolute blast. I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

What happens on the show and can Stacey really find love in a much younger man? Get a sneak peak as Stacey heads backstage.
