What parents need to know
Parent need to know that, for a makeover show, this series has an impressively positive message about being able to look and feel good no matter who you are (or what your size). While the hostesses are prone to a bit of salty language (the strongest words are bleeped), overall the content is pretty mild. Expect to see a good bit of undressing and underwear -- but it's not sexual in nature.
Positive role models:
The hostesss are firm but kind and supportive. They sometimes challenge a subject to the point of tears, but it's more because they're pushing her into uncomfortable territory than beacause they're being mean.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Some talk about makeover subjects feeling "sexy," in the sense of feeling attractive and good about themselves. Several shots of women in bras and panties, but it's more about finding a sense of comfort in one's own skin (as well as the right foundation garments) than about sexuality.
Language:
The ladies curse a bit; words like "boobs" and "ass" are audible (often used as body part slang), while stronger choices, like "s--t," are bleeped.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Susannah does like a nip; in at least one scene she's shown looking for a drink and not finding one. But she's never drunk, nor is there much talking about drinking, and none about smoking or drugs.

sorry, but the women cursed in front of the cheerleading little ones, and though bleeped for the tv viewers, what about the lil girls being there in person?
o, btw, why draw the curtain when the women dress, they've already shown their bras and panties to all of america??
