FOX’s new TV series Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life follows the misadventures of college grad Cooper Barrett (Jack Cutmore-Scott) and his twentysomething friends including the hot girl next door, Kelly Bishop. In the first episode, Cooper discovers Kelly in a dryer. She’s hiding from her boyfriend. She says she wants to “bunch up his face with my hands.” P.S. She finds guys like Cooper – those who haven’t figure out how to be a man yet – exhausting. “You’re the reason why I only date men in their thirties,” she tells Cooper.
