This show could be interesting if the host and producers actually wanted the couples to learn about eachothers lives and jobs. Instead I was tortured for an hour watching the host insult and literally laugh at the poor wives who seemed to be good-naturedly trying to learn. Apparently, a TWO DAY course is all that's required to run a gourmet kitchen, or else you are mocked. Haha.

What Parents Need to Know
About Better Half
Parents need to know that this series is escapist fun for reality show junkies. That said, the featured couples do some serious bickering, and the host and judges make their fair share of mocking comments. There's also some language to watch out for -- words like "hell" and "damn" are audible, while "f--k" is bleeped. Still, if teens are interested in watching adults' relationship dynamics play out on screen, there's not too much here, content-wise, that's particularly iffy for them.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether this type of reality series actually promotes understanding. Or is it just a typical show that capitalizes on others' misfortunes? Why is it hard to understand someone else's predicament unless you've actually walked in that person's proverbial shoes? How realistic is it to expect someone to do a decent job at a task they haven't taken on before?
