Full Version: Seriously...how is this helpful?

My god this show is incredibly frustrating to watch as a therapist! I have absolutely no idea how this is supposed to be "helping" these girls improve themselves. I can't help but wonder if the psychotherapist actually has her license still....i hope we all know that Dr. Phil doesn't actually have his license after losing it for ethical reasons. Seriously how can that "psychotherapist" just sit there and watch? Sticking a whole bunch of messed up ladies in one house together isn't going to bring about any change. There is no sanity in the bunch! Have them do exercises that would increase their insight into their actions...show them video clips or get friends and family feedback on tape for them to watch. I am sure you could find an entertaining way so that you can still make money off of these poorly raised women. If two wrongs don't make a right how could the producers think that 8 wrongs could make even one good girl.

I am not saying that I don't believe these women can make a change, however this is definitely not the place to be doing it. Uh ya yaaa I miss the simple days of Cosby Show, Seinfield and quality television.

I absolutely agree. I tuned in thinking it would actually be something interesting. I was SHOCKED. And the one girl that I thought actually had her stuff together was voted off first. That's actually a good thing because she would have become uttlerly frustrated with all this nonsense.

It's no different than any other show. Will being on Bad girl's Club make those girls become good girls. No. Will the tool academy really reform those boys? No. Did Charm School turn trashy girls into sofisticated women? Not really. It's entertainment. And I don't really care, because if these people really wanted to change, they wouldn't do it on TV.
