Reaction to the series

"...It is Mimi who is "this shows dragon lady. A stunningly twisted personality even for reality TV".

"In the pilot episode, Warner was a bit self-conscious and stiff. But as time goes on she learns to loosen up and live with the constant presence of the cameras, and her story and drama unfold more naturally as the show becomes increasingly riveting."

The Logo Network's The Big Gay Sketch Show, mentioned the show during a Project Runway parody, calling it Working Out with a mean spirited lesbian.
