Why We Rated This off for Ages 14 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The possibility for genuine romantic feelings exists, but buying Megan’s affection is central to the show's premise.

  • Role models:

    Megan openly admits to wanting to be a trophy wife and sees nothing wrong with encouraging men to spend money on her to win her affection. Not too much diversity among the contestants.

  • Violence:

    Some of the challenges require men to physically wrestle each other. There's also constant arguing among the men; some throw drinks in others' faces, break items, and engage in other similar violent behavior.

  • Sex:

    Strong sexual innuendo, including endless references to various sexual practices. Megan and her friends like wearing string bikinis and cleavage-baring outfits. Men are shown with bare chests and more revealing exotic outfits, but there's no actual nudity. One millionaire is a proud distributor of exotic sex toys and pornography items. It's suggested that one of the contestants is gay.

  • Language:

    Words like "hell" are audible, while curses like "f--k" and "s--t" are frequent but fully bleeped.

  • Consumerism:

    High-end brands like Tiffany’s and Rolls Royce are frequently shown and/or discussed (Megan wants lots of expensive gifts).

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Endless consumption (and throwing) of wine, champagne, beer, and mixed drinks.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Megan Wants a Millionaire

Parents need to know that this reality series -- in which men with a net worth of more than $1 million try to win/buy the affection of a reality "celebrity" -- sends the message that money and materialism can buy love (or at least attention) and that exploiting men for their money is OK. Expect lots of bleeped swearing ("s--t," "f--k"), sexual innuendo, and drinking. Contestants often argue and throw things, and some challenges require them to physically fight each other. High-end brands like Rolls Royce, Audi, and Tiffany’s are often discussed and/or shown. Note: This series was cancelled after one of the contestants became a murder suspect and fled the country.

  • Is it really possible to buy someone's love? Is wanting to be with someone because of their wealth ever a good thing?
  • Do shows like this undermine or reinforce stereotypes? How so?

    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 1.0

    All around worst show ever.

    Absolutely the worst show I've seen since Spongebob Squarepants. Megan is quite possibly the most idiotic and dull person to ever get a reality tv show.
