Why We Rated This off for Ages 14 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Overall, this voyeuristic show reinforces immature behavior and strong sexist stereotypes. There aren't really any positive take-aways to find.

  • Role models:

    Daisy comes across as ditzy and stereotypical, and the contestants are immature and aggressive. Not a lot of diversity in the contestant pool.

  • Violence:

    Competitive behavior sometimes leads to pushing, shoving, punching, bloody injuries, and destruction of property. Some challenges require the guys to confront each other in situations like refereed fighting matches and paintball gun fights. A flashback features Daisy fighting with a former Rock of Love contestant.

  • Sex:

    Lots of kissing and strong sexual innuendo. References are made to Daisy's "big boobs"; one contestant refers to sidekick Rachtman as a "boner kill." Daisy and the other women on the show wear lots of tight, revealing clothes; male contestants are shown wearing butt-revealing thongs and in bondage attire. Discussions about sex, sexually related topics (ex. "Prince Albert," which is a genital piercing), and sexuality.

  • Language:

    Lots of strong language, ranging from words like "bad ass," "bitch," and "douche bag" to bleeped-out choices like "d--k," "s--t," and "f--k."

  • Consumerism:

    The series is a promotional vehicle for Daisy, who's working on her singing career. There are many references to shows like Rock of Love, I Love New York, I Love Money, and Charm School (one of the contestants previously appeared on several of these shows). References to Jack Daniels whiskey.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Lots of excessive drinking (beer, wine, champagne, hard liquor) and drunken behavior. Some contestants get sick and pass out, while others become violent and/or ridiculous.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Daisy of Love

Parents need to know that this Rock of Love spin-off features all of the raunchy behavior viewers have come to expect from these over-the-top "dating" reality shows, including fighting, strong sexual innuendo, and excessive drinking. You can also expect lots of strong language (words like "bitch" and "ass" are audible, while curses like "f--k" and "s--t" are bleeped) and endless sexist references. Teens may be drawn to the show thanks to its connection to other popular shows like it, but it's really not for kids.

Families Can Talk About

  • Why do you think people agree to participate in shows like this? Is it possible to find real love on a reality show? What other things could motivate someone to appear in such a public forum?

    Innappropriate

    Daisy of Love isn't that bad of a show, but it's very sexually involved and has bad language and is alcohol-fueled.
