I watched on episode and really liked it. I thought it showed both sides well

I'm not a reality TV person at all. "I'm having their baby" wasn't too bad (I watched it on Hulu - no cable, was cut to finance adoption ) )

Not sure how I like the idea of this show, but I also haven't seen it. I guess mostly I'm glad that this 30 day period is not a reality in my state. That would have been really hard!
