Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this show includes many product endorsements. Female contestants sometimes use "sex appeal" to boost sales or to get attention. Though there are no explicit references to sex, this show can sometimes reinforce negative stereotypes of females in the workplace. Some seasons of the series revolve around "celebrity" contestants like Stephen Baldwin and Gene Simmons -- who presumably participate to promote themselves and their projects, as well as to compete.

Sexual Content

Some challenges involve slightly risque behavior (like posing in bed for a print ad).

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Occasional use of the word "bitch."

Social Behavior

The show underscores that it is necessary to be both competitive and cooperative to get ahead. It also teaches that money is everything.

Consumerism

A near-constant stream of product placement.
