  Reality game show reinforces stereotypes.

Why We Rated This for Ages 14–16

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  The message is mixed. While some models are revealed to be nothing more than vapid beauties, others shatter that stereotype with serious smarts. But because two of the most promising contestants are male, female viewers could be left feeling slighted.
• Violence:

  Contestants are shown shouting at each other and sometimes screaming. But actual physical violence is rare.
• Sex:

  Viewers will see women in skimpy bikinis and men without their shirts. Sexually charged comments fly freely (including words like "penis" and "boobs"), and one particularly chesty contestant whose resume includes working for Playboy is told she looks like a porn star.
• Language:

  "Confessional"-style contestant interviews are peppered with bleeped-out profanity (mainly "f--k" and "s--t") and mild curse words like "damn," "hell," and "bitch."
• Consumerism:

  At stake is a "V05 Extreme Style" prize package worth $100,000.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Contestants are sometimes shown smoking and drinking alcohol to excess. In one question-and-answer segment, a model was asked to list different types of drugs; her list included marijuana and cocaine.
