Parents need to know that this series is primarily a reality dating show targeting college-age teens and 20-somethings, with a format that's not unlike MTV's Room Raiders. That means that portions of each episode deal candidly with sex, online pornography, and other steamy subjects that are too suggestive for younger viewers. High-schoolers will undoubtedly want to watch; the good news is that the show doesn't introduce anything that savvy teens haven't already heard about.
Positive messages:At least one of the contestants in each episode has something questionable hiding on his or her hard drive. While one potential suitor had drafted a letter to contest stalking charges linked to his ex-girlfriend, for example, another had e-mailed a photo of his penis to a stranger. The set-up of the show promotes snooping (questionable activity, even if what you learn is worth finding out).
Sex:Contestants make candid references to one-night stands, masturbation, and sex toys (including vibrators). Pornography sites pop up regularly, but nudity and other adult content is blurred.
Language:In moments of embarrassment, a few contestants shout expletives that get bleeped out in post-production.
Consumerism:The show was developed in collaboration with computer company Hewlett-Packard, so contestants are shown using PCs -- not Macs -- and using Microsoft Instant Messenger to "talk" to each other.
