    This show is completely FAKE. hide show

    This show is about parents who don't want their son or daughter to date a guy or girl because they believe that their son or daughter's boyfriend or girlfriend is bad for them and will just cause trouble so they have to pick 2 new boyfriends or girlfriends to go out with the parents' son or daughter. In the end, the son or daughter has to pick either one of the new girls or guys or the same girlfriend or boyfriend. Well, I gotta say that this show is fake because this show is scripted. The parents and contestants are wearing earpieces so the producers can tell them their lines and plus the houses look the same meaning they look big but still the same but not every house can be big.

    Overall, this show is not worth your time so I don't reccommend this show to anyone. If your a fan of this show and reading my review, now you know the truth and this concludes my review on this fake show.

    Its so horrible i don't know where to start, it just completely boggles the mind. hide show

    It is my firm belief that the creator of this show deserves to die a horrible death for the pain he has caused the world.

    Please have a heart attack.

    Regards.

    ps. Hmm it seems i need more words in my review for it to be posted, i didn't really want to enrage myself further but i guess i could say a few words...parental control is: extremely obvious its scripted, the parents don't act like parents, in fact, i don't think anybody that has ever existed in the entire history of the universe acts like that much of a **** the show makes me want to do something extreme, but i cant think of what, because the show boggles my mind so much i dont know what to do. I fear for the minds of the younger generation, and i hope no more shows like this make their way onto television, for the good of mankind.

    Terrible, terrible show, i also feel the same way about date my mum, and next.

    *gets on knees and yells to the sky*WHHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
    I watched about 5 episodes and what I saw was horrific. hide show

    I watched this show yesterday on MTV. What I have to say is this: What..The..Heck? So, parents pick new dates for their son or daughter because for some odd reason their son or daughters old girlfriend/boyfriend is some rude, unpolite mofo. Obviously MTV doesnt know the meaning of relationships because if thecouple have been together 2 years, they go on a show and pick some NEW person they new for one day. Make sense? No. But anyways, the one thing that makes this show funny are the one liners and the arguments between parents and the old boyfriend or girlfriend. I thought the arguments were pretty well put together if you know what I mean. Also, the person that the son or daughter eliminates seems to always over react, like getting angry. Why get angry over someone you knew for an hour? Theres obviously alot of things about this show that are just plain idiotic, but if you like junk like this be my guess and have fun watching.

    Completely fake. hide show

    This show is mainly about teenager's parent who hate the person the teen is going out with and find 2 news dates for them (the teen).

    This show is pretty good. Interesting to see how the person reacts with their blind date and if they like them or not. I saw 4 episodes in a row and what I don't like about this show is that, at the end, the person who gone through different dates always, ALWAYS, pick their old boyfriend/girlfriend. Why are they on the show then if they're staying with their significant other?! Another thing is: Why are all the parents houses rich, beautiful and big?!

    That leads me to think that this show is completely fake and scripted. Period.

    Fake on so many many levels. hide show

    There's many ways to prove this show was fake from just two episodes.
    1) everytime the parents nitpick the boyfriend and girlfriend's faults, they have convenient clips getting them doing it just so perfectly. (not going to happen.)
    2) the people are horrible actors. "Well, this is a tough decision, who am I going to chose?" why are you narrating this? we know it's fake.
    3) If your parents are actually trying to do this crap to get you to stop dating your bf/gf, they are insane. Just kick your child out of the house, tell em never to come back with their 'love'. simple as that.
    4) the motions are fake, watching last night's episode the one with the gay scene guy and his pink haired bf. They have a video of him going upside down yet his helmet isn't even latched on nor does the hanging bands go up to his chin WHEN he goes upside down. It's totally 100% fake!
