  • Common Sense says

    Snoops get dates, teens get bad dating advice.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    May encourage snooping. Plus, can love be found by rifling through someone's stuff?
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Extremely suggestive statements and images. Some contestants seem too young to be on the prowl.
  • Language:

    Varies. Bleeped-out words and suggestive statements.
  • Consumerism:

    Does a cool room filled with cool stuff mean a cool person?
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Room Raiders

Parents need to know that this is a dating show in which one contestant selects a date after rifling through three other contestants' personal effects. Teens get embarrassed, and contestants aren't always respectful. A spy kit is given to the contestants so that they can prod and examine the items in the room more thoroughly. Sometimes the things revealed are rather graphic, which makes this show a poor fit for younger viewers.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about privacy and intimacy issues. How would it feel to let a stranger into your home to go through your things -- including underwear drawers and diaries? When you invite someone into your bedroom before you go on a date, why is that too close, too fast? What would you do if a potential date ridiculed your environment?

    Another Pointless, Trashy MTV Dating Show
