What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The guys struggle with alcoholism, illness, and egos; some fall back into old destructive patterns. Sexist comments.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Women wear revealing clothing and dance provocatively. Sexual innuendo, discussion of breast and penis size.

  • Language:

    Frequent moderate profanity like "bitch," "ass," and "hell." Words like "s--t" and "f--k" are bleeped.

  • Consumerism:

    Lots of brands are visible, including clothing (Adidas, Nautica), cars (Ford), and other things (Apple).

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Lots of talk about alcoholism. Several scenes with close-ups on alcohol, people doing shots, drunk folks. Discussion of repercussions of alcohol use. Some cigar smoking.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about voyeurism. How does it feel to watch someone on television reveal highly personal information or undergo difficult struggles? When is the experience pleasurable, and when isn't it? How do the men on the show handle revealing their personal information? Would you ever consider being on a reality show?
