Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Nothing redeeming here -- the housemates backstab each other to get what they want and frequently disrespect each other.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    The housemates hook up with each other and prowl bars in search of members of the opposite sex. No shortage of skimpy bathing suits.

  • Language:

    Words/phrases like "bitches," "what the hell," and "bulls--t."

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Lots of drinking, including wine with meals and shots at bars.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About One Ocean View

Parents need to know that this reality show revolves around a group of singles who share a beach house. They spend their weekends drinking heavily, cavorting in skimpy bathing suits, and prowling local bars looking to meet members of the opposite sex. Basically, it's a lot like every other pretty-people-in-a-house reality show.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the housemates' behavior. Do you think what goes on during the show is typical of young, single people in their situation? Would teens want to take part in this kind of vacation? Why or why not? Families can also talk about alcohol. What makes someone a problem drinker? How can drinking too much get people into trouble?
