parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality series -- in which couples have a week to decide whether to get married if they want an all-expenses paid wedding -- treats relationship issues like jealousy, possessiveness, and family difficulties very superficially. There's some mild sexual innuendo and arguing, a bit of salty language (words like "ass" and "hell" are audible, while stronger choices are bleeped), frequent drinking, and some smoking. Wedding vendors are featured by name throughout the show, and the central lavish event often feels like a bribe.
Violence:
Frequent bickering and arguing between couples and their families. One potential groom is shown breaking beer bottles in anger.
Sex:
Some mild sexual innuendo, as well as kissing, hugging, and mild references to bedroom activity. Bachelorette parties sometimes feature men stripping off their shirts.
Language:
Words like “sucked," “hell," “ass,†and “stupid†are audible; stronger curse words are bleeped (and mouths are blurred). One episode is titled “Bastards Out of Carolina."
Consumerism:
Wedding vendors -- like Natalie K Jewelers, bridal shops, and other services -- are featured throughout the show.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Frequent alcohol consumption (beer, wine, champagne, mixed drinks). One featuredbride's parent is an alcoholic. Cigarette smoking is sometimes visible.
