User Reviews

The lowest of all reality shows

Finally, we have a reality show that delivers this gem of a message: If you're dating a useless loser jerk, DON'T break up with him! YOU CAN CHANGE HIM! Yeah. That's great advice for all the self-esteem-challenged young ladies out there.

Is your guy sleeping around with other women? Does he forget random important things, like for instance your birthday or the fact that you even exist?

Does he embarrass you in front of everyone you know?

Does the thought of being with him for the rest of your life the way he is horrify you?

Then don't do the smart thing, the thing every other rational human would do, which is to drop him like a bad habit. Stay with him! If you love on him enough, he will change! No matter how deeply ingrained his character traits are in his very DNA! You'll never find another fish in the sea! CHANGE HIM!

As for the cast, well...the guys are all douchey toolbags, and the girls are all completely devoid of brains and character. But it makes for great TV, doesn't it?
