In hindsight there never was a "Wet" added to the title and when I clicked on this thread I thought I had never read it before I got to my post which I had no recollection of making due to my drunken state at the time.

The best part about this admission is that the post you're referring to was made at 1:30PM Eastern Time on a Wednesday.

My 10 yr old and 12 yr old taped the show, but none of us have seen it.

Who is the target audience for this? Is there any reason why I should not want my kids to watch this (aside from just generally polluting their minds)?

If you don't mind them seeing graphic minor on minor sex and some dancing for money, I wouldn't be worried.

The show was painful to watch. My wife liked it though. Gold Stars for everyone who watched it all the way through.

Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares was awesome though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i just watched on dvr and a couple thoughts come to mind:

1a) the kids that get no air time must be pissed. i'd say i feel bad, but i dont. obviously if you just do your thing and dont create any controversy being edited out is the end result, but with 40...now 39...kids, i'd be shocked if we ever really know more than 10 people beyond their names if even that.

1b) obvious racism as the black kids got no love and the only time we see them they are either hurt or arguing.

2) the girl that won the star made $3 dancing. if she can convince these kids to waste their income on something that dumb, we're in trouble. and what use is that bike anyway?

3) i too was pissed it so quickly turned into a challenge/team based reality show. obviously it will be a little different, but back in 1885, u couldnt just acquire 7 more outhouses by having a man from the future show up and host a competition.

5) i was hoping for more great kid one liners but kids stop being awesomely funny by the time they are 10 and they arent showing many interviews with the younger kids so i doubt i'll get my wish.

Wow was I just sheltered growing up or is it weird that kids know how to drink like that? I mean I know there's no alcohol there but they've got their technique down. And what's up with the car bomb-style drinks? What could you possibly be mixing into root beer like that?

1885? Did the host arrive in a Delorean by any chance?

I was also amazed that hardly any of them knew how to cook. Basic living, LDO.

My daughters been able to cook since 8-9, easily.
