Why We Rated This not for kids

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Trivial depiction of dating. One contestant spoke of having a child at home right before she wrestled her competitor in baby oil.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Blatant sexual innuendos, kissing, and flashing. Both straight and gay dating scenarios are shown.

  • Language:

    Suggestive and sexual language.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Plenty of alcohol and shameless intoxication.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About ElimiDate

Parents need to know that aggressive, crude behavior and obvious sex appeal keep suitors in the game as they vie for a chance to go on a date with one "lucky" single. Both straight and gay dating scenarios are shown. Sexual language and jokes are common. Contestants will do pretty much anything to "win," including wrestling in baby oil or making out with the object of their affection in front of the other contestants. Competitors often make disparaging remarks about each other. There's lots of alcohol use and obvious displays of intoxication. Parents should also note that this program airs late at night, but can be a cult favorite among teens.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the premise of the show. Is this a realistic portrayal of dating? Is it possible to really get to know someone in such a short period of time? Why would someone subject himself/herself to this kind of humiliation?

    This is a great show for kids! It teaches them lessons, like competition is always a good thing! My 8 and 11 year old daughters love this show!
