Parents need to know that each dinner party's theme and menu is completely up to the evening's host or hostess. That means that one episode may be racier than the next. For example, in one episode, viewers saw contestants enjoy a family style dinner, as well as a '50s-inspired meal served by a woman dressed in a saucy waitress uniform. But other than that, there's little to object to, although kids may not be drawn in by the subject matter.
Positive messages:Demonstrates that you can have a good time trying to win a contest -- it's not just about the outcome, but also the fun that can be had during the competition.
Interesting menu planning and decor ideas. Fun to see how well the competators get-along with each other. All in all a nice way to spend a mindless half hour. I like it!
