MILF Manor Disturbing But Good Water Cooler Chatter?

When MILF Manor premiered, all fans knew was that eight MILFs would be in a manor in Mexico. Joining them would be eight young men who were interested in pursuing them. However, there was a twist. No one quite knew what this would be but it seemed jaw-dropping leading viewers to believe these men were actually the sons of the women. This proved to be true which made it a bit more uncomfortable. More so, the mothers and sons learned that they would be sharing rooms and co-dating.

In a recent episode, the mothers and sons had to write down their secrets and they were posted on a wall. They then had to guess which ones belonged to each other. One secret from SoYoung devastated her son but she had trouble understanding why. After that, fans were really sickened by the concept of the series. However, according to CNN, the show started out fairly innocent. Then, it took a very dark turn, one people cannot stop talking about.

Kate Casey from the Reality Life with Kate Casey podcast feels that the draw is that the show is all about being a part of a social experiment. “Great reality television shows have compelling concept and different characters, and they push you to think about topics or people in different ways. It is a huge social experiment. I think of us all as cultural anthropologists,” Casey notes. She also adds that this is not nearly the first time reality TV has gone to shocking lengths.

No One Is Really Getting Hurt

It has also been pointed out that there is no “overt cruelty” in MILF Manor. In fact, there has been speculation that the cast members actually knew what they were signing up for prior to joining the series. Though the MILFs acted surprised when they saw their sons, they may have actually already been aware of the twist. Kate Casey also had to add that, despite the fact that the show may be too much for some, it is clearly doing something very right.

“Can I imagine someone in college dating a classmate’s mother? No. But can I imagine someone being part of a social experiment because they are keen to be on television? Yes. Networks want to create shows that are conversation starters. ‘MILF Manor’ has garnered plenty of press attention and discussion, so they must be doing something interesting.”
