1. Men vs women
Relaxed vs high pressure
this should be fun.

3. I am sorry, but it sounds like dog food to me.
I really dislike the whole "reality" TV movement. I fear that cheap brain-dead entertainment will create more brain-dead citizens.

4. I never got into the reality tv thing, either
Never watched Survivor, Apprentice, or those shows where they ate bugs or any of that stuff. Those were of a competitive nature.
I guess this is more like liberal vs uptight rw'er and the rw'er comes back having learned a few things.

5. I watched part of this program and found it very sexist.
Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 12:23 AM by BrightKnight
I watched part of this program and was ticket off as well. The part of it I saw portrayed the women as incompetent, undisciplined babies concerned with making "cosmetic changes." They added flowers to the bathroom. The male bosses in contrast added many structural changes that substantially improved the business. In the end, all of the changes added by the females were discarded. The woman fired the obvious sexist and everyone agreed that it was a good idea. All of the changes added by the men were kept. The program ended with the female bosses hiring a man to "keep the testosterone level up."

I have worked work for and with many very competent women. This program is deeply insulting. It is troubling that the network executives thought that it was acceptable to air this crap.
