I think the whole premise of the show is rather sexist. wouldn't want to say that out loud though. Granted, some of the guys involved do deserve a bit of ridicule.

Of course, if you developed a show that was the opposite (showing how helpless some women are) you would probably get into alot of trouble.

I guess thats why breton wasnt picked to do the show, cause thats what happens every second week when long change is over.

not a guy left in town were all back on the rig.

Tree is right, it would have to be The Year the men went! ;p My hubby works on the rigs, he's gone for weeks at a time but even if he was home every night I still take care of things that he couldn't handle over a weekend alone

And what, pray tell, be the name of this town filled with lonely women and no men? I'm trying to pick a vacation spot

LOL I kinda liked it it was funny last week when that one woman was all "Ive left my husband in charge of my prized garden, and he knows how important it is to me, bla bla" and in the next scene is him throwing tomatoes up in the air for him and his buddies to shoot, and using squash for target practice. I laughed my ass off!

But yeah I agree that they seemed to go out of their way to find the most pathetic men in Canada. I wouldn't say male chauvinism per say, but completely dependent on women to the point where the can't function without them. Its really kinda sad. I'm conducting my own experiment of this show on Saturday, as im off to Los Cabos and leaving my hubby at home with a 7 year old, a almost 2 year old, a motel & cleaning staff to manage. We shall see what happens.. maybe I should set up cameras for entertainment purposes later lol.
