* QuestionableCasting: All three hosts of the show could be called into question for their credentials in telling ''anyone'' about etiquette and proper respect.
** Mo'nique is a stand-up comedian who is not afraid of being raunchy on stage, talking about her kinky sex life with her husband (whom she allows to cheat on her), while often making jokes about how all women are hoes and can't be friends.
** Sharon Osbourne found her fame on a reality show where she constantly played up having to play babysitter for her drug-addled husband Ozzy Osbourne. Recent years have also not been kind to show Sharon as a reasonable figure.
** Nicki Lake was the host of her famous Talk Show in the 90's which fell into the same rabbit hole many others did around that era, focusing much less on actually informing or helping people, and more pointing and laughing and exploiting people for views.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: ''Flavor of Love'' did not paint women in a very flattering light, the contestants literally making asses out of themselves on television to be won as a prize for a man who really tended to act as if he had no respect for the opposite gender. This show brought those controversial contestants back so they can be taught to be proper ladies, and learn how to hold themselves up so they can find a man who actually respects them.

* HarsherInHindsight: Despite Larissa being immature and throwing insults at Monique due to how classy she was, Larissa turned out to be right years later the show. It's been reported that Monique not only gives her husband a pass to cheat, but she is also acting unclassy by throwing shade at other famous actors and figures.

** Similarly, Sharon Osbourne was trying to teach the ''Rock of Love'' women to have more class (which ended up being undermined after she poured a pitcher on Megan's head to initiate a fight with her at the reunion, where the former was portrayed as being in the ''right''). After many of her controversies years later, especially during her time on ''The Talk'', any lessons from her are looked at with doubt.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** In the first season after Courtney's elimination Mo'Nique offered her a spot on her comedy tour. However, during the reunion it was revealed that Courtney had made some very rude jokes at Mo'Nique's expense (purportedly about Mo'Nique having fat, flabby arms), and Mo'Nique promptly rescinded her tour offer. After losing that opportunity, Courtney pretty much gave up stand-up comedy altogether.
** Leilene in the first season (episode 4) for attempting to confront Larissa in a ''bar'' about her argument with Monique. First, Leilene should already know how much of a jerkass and [[HairTriggerTemper short-tempered]] Larissa is. Second, a public place for partying is not the right setting to speak to someone about certain matters such as debates. This doesn't excuse Larissa's KickTheDog moment, but Leilene should have known better.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Is Schatar a lovable master manipulator who was unfairly eliminated when she arguably had more poise than many of the other girls, or did her SmugSnake ways finally catch up to her to justify her elimination, and her journey on the show just a demonstration of how fake she was, not actually learning anything? Really, fans were upset at Larissa and Shay but fans ''already'' hated them, and most people seemed more upset they got away with their con as opposed to the show actually being unfair to Schatar.

** Was Larissa's expulsion due to the fact she hid (stole) Leilene's photos and framed Schatar for it, or more that she continued to lie about it until the truth was forced out due to Shay snitching on her? Had Larissa just admitted to the act after Schatar's elimination it's entirely possible she would have avoided punishment, since Schatar being framed for stealing due to her history of being a SmugSnake and a thief could have been seen as LaserGuidedKarma (and Schatar did get away with stealing from Heather in episode 2 an not only avoided any consequences, but ''won'' that challenge).

* AnAesop: The entire theme of the show was that a woman should not allow themselves to be objectified and be turned into a joke. Despite there being plenty of levity and lampshade hanging, the show always took itself seriously that it was trying to turn these 'ghetto girls' into proud women.

** Krazy can come off as this. In her elimination interview (which was a deleted scene of the show), she talks about how she wish she never let Schatar get the better of her. She also learns her lesson about not playing the victim and that people will be very grimy and selfish. Even one of the producers felt bad for her and hugged her.
