I think it's funny. I mean really who does it hurt? It is just a stupid game show.

I watched some of the show...the contestant was a nurse and also his brother...it was no big deal...I didn't have a problem with it... He lost... didn't listen to his mother and got greedy!

I might be backwards, but I don't mind if the profession I am planning on going into not only saves lives, but is thought of as attractive while doing it....we are versatile

It just gives ammo to the old inappropriate men. I saw that and was like, Seriously? Shame on NBC. I get enough comments as is.

that show, along with the contestants, has gotten progressively worse. i quit watching it after a while - i was starting to get nauseous. the contestants for the most part are rude, disgusting and insane. i like the premise of the show but please - let's try to clean it up a bit, huh folks? but then again, sex sells. find me one tv show on network tv that doesn't have some sort of sex appeal. it's God-awful.
