Parents need to know that even though the women competing in this modeling-themed reality show are repeatedly told that women can be beautiful at any age and that they have to be more than beautiful to win (i.e. have a personality, too), it's clear that looks are important. All of the featured women are slender, and those who look younger than their age are praised for it. The assessments of the aspiring contestants are occasionally on the brutal side. Expect some bleeped-out language as well as audible words like "ass." There's also some innuendo and emphasis on "sexiness."
Positive messages:The idea that women can be beautiful at any age is very positive, although most of the featured women conform to standard notions of beauty, and the show places a strong emphasis on looks. Women who look younger than they are seem to get extra praise. Assessments of asipring contestants are sometimes harsh.
Sex:The contestants are often told to look sexy, and there's some innuendo (a woman showed how she'd like to do a photo shoot with a lion by wrapping herself around one of the judges, etc.). Some modeling tasks involve wearing things like sheer fabric drapes.
Language:Language includes "ass" and a bleeped-out "f--k."
Consumerism:Some brands/products featured, including Self magazine and the Wilhelmina modeling agency.
I love this show! It is my guilty pleasure. There are several good messages about your looks at any age. They are good role models because they work hard and never give up. But... there is alot of noticable product placement. And It's rare but they do use bad language at time when upset or mad. Then the revealing outfits its the only thing thats in the sexual catergory.
