Why We Rated This off for Ages 15 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The wealthy belittle their poor counterparts, who then put down the rich contestants. Stereotypes are played up.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    In later episodes, some of the characters hook up.
  • Language:

    Curses are bleeped out.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    There is social drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Survival of the Richest

Parents need to know that this reality series reinforces stereotypes and is generally in pretty poor taste. It constantly plays up the level of animosity between the two groups of characters: The wealthy ones show zero respect to for poor ones, who, in turn, do little to hide their disgust for their privileged counterparts.

    I rate this title iffy for age 11 and give it 3.0

    Kind of Annoying

    The rich people are made to be annoying - the poor to be hardworking. VERY sterotypical!

    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 1.0

    social message is pathetic...

    ...and for the lack of integrity, the show should be OFF!
