What's the Story?
MEGAN WANTS A MILLIONAIRE follows two-time reality show loser Megan Hauserman as she tries to find the man of her dreams among 17 millionaires. In each episode, the contestants attempt to charm \
Is It Any Good?
While Megan makes some mild claims about looking for love, it's clear that her interest in money is greater, and she comes across as a stereotypically greedy gold-digger looking to be maintained by a rich man. (Ironically, the contestant group challenges preconceived stereotypes about millionaires, as many of them have earned their money working hard at blue-collar jobs.)
The series clearly sends the problematic message that money can buy love .... or at least a woman's attention. It also features all of the elements that you'd expect from a reality show like this -- including lots of swearing, arguing, sexual innuendo, and drinking. Bottom line? This one isn't for kids.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about reality shows that focus on matchmaking. Do you think it's possible to find genuine love through a TV show? Why else might people want to participate in a series like this?
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?
