They have made the men look like fools (so far), and not just because of their "hooters".

Nonsense. They've used their bodies in just about every task. It's demeaning and quite sad. Because, as you hinted, they (well, some of them) do have real talent. But to feel that they need to act like giggling sorority girls to win is seriously wrong. Are they auditioning to run one of Trump's companies or one of his bedrooms?

They have kicked butt because every one of the challenges involved selling. And sex sells.

They prattle on about leadership qualities, like a real leader takes charge, a real leader plans. They don't have the faintest idea how to lead. All they have is business school ideas of what a leader does.

I would like to see any one of them (and The Donald, too, for that matter) in a combat situation as a Platoon Sergeant or a Squad Leader.

The ability to display bravery when you yourself are scared sh**less; To make intelligent decisions while countless distractions of the lifetaking kind are all around you; The making of action plans while your body screams to just hide; The ability to see the overall situation while all about you is confusion; Advising the Commander and helping him make correct decisions; are all what leadership is about.

The Donald would be far better off scouring the NCO ranks of the young men and women in Iraq, than looking to business school graduates.

I thought the same thing as you. But do I think this show is reflective of the younger generation of women, as the author of this Slate piece does? Not necessarily -- I think it's more a reflection of the type of people who want to be on reality shows. By definition, somebody who would subject themselves to being constantly filmed is an exhibitionist. So it's not exactly surprising to see that these women, who all want their 15 minutes of fame, are flaunting their wares to get ahead.
