What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this British makeover show, like many American reality series, centers around a group of so-called misfits attempting to make themselves over into swans. In this case, a group of loud, party-loving British tomboys attempt to learn social graces through a series of "home-ec" challenges. While the show can be entertaining -- and the truth is that the contestants can use a bit of edge-polishing -- it raises some questions about the cultural definition of femininity and what it means to be a "lady."
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Several of the ladettes are promiscuous; one talks about the 100 men she's slept with.
Language:
"F--k" is bleeped; "crap" and "s--t" aren't.
Consumerism:
In one episode, a Corona bottle can be seen.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The girls like to hit the local pubs and drink.
