MILF Manormade waves when it dropped onTLCin January 2023, but not necessarily for the right reasons.
The eligible bachelors were also their sons,which was a shocking revelation even to the cast.
Set in Mexico, the showfollowed aBachelor-style format, with challenges and eliminations.
But the premise got a major overhaul.
For that reason,MILF Manorssecond season was an improvement, though it wasnt enough to save the franchise.
The whole setup left contestants and viewers alike feeling icky.

In the end, it felt like the show crossed an ethical line, prioritizing shock factor over substance.
MILF Manorfailed in its attempt at womens empowerment.
Therelationships felt more age-appropriate, as the women could choose between older and younger contestants.
This also felt like astronger attempt at empowerment, as it explored thereal challenges of age-gaprelationships.
Overall, the show relied less on shock value.
Ultimately, though,TLC has reportedly shelved the show, at least for now.
“MILF Manorgot everyone talking across both series with its jaw-dropping scenes,“a source toldThe Sun.
It could return in the future, but for now, the manor has been closed, they continued.
Without an official cancellation announcement, theres still a chance TLC could bring the show back.
But that doesnt change the fact that theshows core concept is flawed and awkward.
The second season lacked the virlaness of the first without the shock factor, ratings declined.
Maybe this is one reality show thats better left in the past.
