Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (4 ):
Kids say (2 ):

Like its predecessors, Real Chance of Love is packed with the same kind of over-the-top behavior -- including non-stop cat fights, lots of drinking, and aggressive sexual behavior -- that has become a trademark of this specific reality-show formula. Adding to this is the way the brothers objectify the female contestants, especially when the guys take turns selecting the women who will actually compete for their attention (a moment that's ironically symbolized by hanging a large chain around each woman's neck).

But, really, the worst part of the show is the women's willingness to put themselves in the position to be objectified in the first place. The series will offer some guilty pleasure to adults who find this kind of TV experience entertaining, but its very iffy content and the negative messages it sends about women and relationships make it a poor choice for kids.
