Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The show presents people from various ethnic backgrounds as well as people of various sizes as performance artists who take their clothes off while dancing. While it's not sexually motivated, this may be considered negative behavior by some people.

  • Violence:

    Some music videos contain mild violence, including pushing, shoving, and one disturbingly odd video in which it looked like the participants were electrocuting each other (but no one was hurt).

  • Sex:

    No nudity, but contestants are constantly in various stages of undress. Some suggestive dancing. Occasional mild references to sexual behavior by contestants and in music videos.

  • Language:

    No outright swearing; various terms used to describe male/female genitalia include "pee pee," "schlotz," and other words that are more silly than offensive.

  • Consumerism:

    Music videos highlight popular music groups throughout the show.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Alcohol and tobacco use are visible in some music videos. Lyrics containing references to drugs are occasionally noted.
