Wow. WTF?
This is completely fetishistic, like it's for men who WANT to see women scared and vulnerable (and yeah, of course they have to be thin and beautiful).
How depressing.
Aren't a lot of reality shows just hot girls in/doing _______. I'm almost less offended by the fact that they are calling it what it is.
It's true, they're calling it what it is. But isn't that sad that that's what gets ratings?
The fact that frightened women is considered entertainment is definitely borderline, if not outright, misogynistic.
What? Why are they looking for overheated 12 year olds in haunted houses? What fresh hell is this?!
You know what I'D like to see on TV? Strong, empowered women who go ghost hunting/live in the wilderness/visit exotic locales and study biology ALONGSIDE THE MEN.
But maybe I'm not their target audience. :)
See, I didn't read the post all that carefully, so I assumed they were talking about, like, a National Geographic show with exactly this subject.
How awesome would that be?
Of course, now that I've gone back and re-read it, I'm disgusted. : (
Well, I for one LOVE scary places! It's the menfolk I worry can't hack it, as my last overnight guest seemed a bit nonplussed at the knife collection, cage full of rats, and photographs of morgues on the floor.
But I don't think E! is ready for real hot chicks in scary places type of action, from the description here it sounds like they're making some weird hybrid of Girls Gone Wild and Scooby Doo.
Can you even conceive of a show based on a gender-reversed concept?
Something tells me that E! is in no hurry to debut "Helpless Hunks in Haunted Houses".
Next up: Ow! My Balls. It's happening.
this show is great is funny and it brings some real issues up with the family! I think this show on E! is great. Check out snoops officle site
