  • tinafey, on 07/02/2008, -1/+5I'm a sucker for crap like this. I'll definitely be watching.
  • DiggieDarko, on 07/02/2008, -1/+11I can't tell if this is exploitative or a celebration of capabilities. Maybe that's the point.
    • TribalCouncil, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3Its a down-low attempt to get in the media. It worked.
    • BlackVincent, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3Its perfectly valid. And yes, its controversial, but so were lots of TV firsts. Like the first interracial couple, the first gay characters, the first woman pater familias. I welcome it.
    • Haoie, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2It depends on what the show will actually consist of.

      Best wait until it actually airs.
  • DWNTWNJB, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4I'll watch, just so long as Heather Mills doesn't make a guest appearance.
  • meandnips, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2I'm sure I'll take a look but why did they have to release a picture where all the women are wearing PINK for god's sake. Gaak. Why not just stick a Hello Kitty sticker on them, it would be just as bad.
    • VipperOfVipp, on 07/02/2008, -1/+1I think they look gorgeous.
    • meandnips, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2No doubt about that, and I say good for them for doing this. I just think putting grown women in shiny hot pink somehow diminishes their looks and accomplishments. I would have liked a variety of colors, not just stereotypical girlie pink. But that's just me and pink.
  • endoccupation, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2America's version of this was a sitcom called Webster.
  • stignordas, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Sorry, any 'reality' show on TV is simply spectacle. I can't imagine anything altruistic about this.
  • canewediggit, on 07/02/2008, -3/+2next season - fat man marathon! followed by elementary school children doing quantum physics! and watch out for summer's sure to be smash hit, tractor drag racing!
  • fluidfoundation, on 07/02/2008, -3/+2Holy crip she's a crapple!
  • dangermouse4, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Is there going to be any wrestling involved?
  • misspiggymess, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1That's inspiring.
