parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this trendy Canadian reality doc features continuous conversations about relationships and infidelity, and lots of making out between men and women. Reality characters drink (beer, wine, mixed drinks) a lot, and the combination of relationship woes and intoxication often leads to screaming, hitting, and drunken brawls. Sexist terms like “bimbo” and “chick” are sometimes audible. There is plenty of profanity (“s--t,” “f--k”), but these words are completely muted.
Positive role models:
Some male cast members exhibit sexist behaviors. People drink too much and get into silly arguments constantly.
Violence:
Cast members are shown slapping, hitting, and punching during arguments and bar brawls. One of the cast members constantly talks about punching people in the face.
Sex:
Whistler is characterized as a womanizing town; infidelity and promiscuity are major themes here. It also contains some sexual innuendo and a few scenes of men and women making out. Some of the male cast members refer to women as “chicks” and “bimbos”. Women are shown dancing provocatively and wearing bikinis; men are shown shirtless.
Language:
Curses like “s--t” and “f--k” are muted; occasional screen captions use asterisks to note their use.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Cast members drink alcohol (beer, hard liquor, mixed drinks) frequently, appear drunk, and act inappropriately as a result. Drinking and sobriety is discussed.
