What Parents Need to Know
About Wanna Bet?
Parents need to know that although overall this game show is age-appropriate for most tweens and up, there is a fair amount of double entendre. Both male and female performers/contestants are congratulated on their looks, and the betting celebrities occasionally wager on whether the contestants will succeed at their challenges based on their appearances. Since the contestants aren't competing directly with each other, there're are fewer snarky, judge-type comments than on other reality contests.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the performers accomplish their various challenges. How do you think they learned to do such out of the ordinary things? Why do you think the contestants want to perform? Is it just to help win money for charity, or could they have other motivations? Why do people want to be on television?

Fun game show for the whole family
ABC is trying to clean up primetime by airing more family-friendly shows like "Wanna Bet?". However, there is a fair amount of innuendo and double entendres which gave the series premiere episode its TV-PG D rating. "Wanna Bet?" has gotten poor reviews from critics calling it unoriginal and imitating YouTube, but this show is more family-safe than YouTube. There could be a G-rated video on YouTube, yet there could be links to PG-13 videos and potentially offensive comments. All in all, "Wanna Bet?" is safe for the whole family and a great alternative to YouTube. I hope it doesn't get canceled, though.
