Imagine if they had to live in reality?
This show is supposed to show what it is like to start a family but then they give these young couples great big beautiful homes to live in as well as all the accessories.
I imagine the REAL couples (the older ones suppling the babies) never started out with all that crap. They actually had to live on a budget I'm sure so this "experiment" isn't even very accurate.
But I guess showing them living in squalor with the babies eating lead paint chips and cockroaches wouldn't go over very well with the agencies that monitor the safety of children.
