Entertainment Weekly Tanner Stransky

This romantic battle would be just another unremarkable dating show if not for Slade's unnervingly entertaining presence; he comes off as a filthy combo of daddy and ex-lover. [25 Jul 2008, p.63]

There is no good reason in the world to watch Date My Ex, and yet there is something vaguely redeeming in its economic chemistry.

Los Angeles Times Mary McNamara

Though it is mildly interesting to watch the reality monster consume its own tail for a few minutes, I'd frankly rather spend an hour blotting my lip gloss.

There isn't a person on this show selling anything more compelling than shallow vanity.

I too get angry watching this show. I honestly don't know why I waste my time....maybe to watch Jo try to be sexy(not), try to be coy (not), try to sing (omg), and lie( this she does do very well.

Who do they think they are to use these guys on these stupid dates and then Surprise slade wants the jo back! very dumb!! i feel insulted and i think that everyone is owed an apology for this show. Werent there any other better ways for the publicity of her dumb album. That pop music isnt even in anymore, country is hot not this stuff she is supposed to be promoting. I think jo is way to old to try to be playing these guys like shes a cute 19yr old when shes not. I think katy and mya are so cute but so staged too. I used to like slade on oc houswives and i thought more of jo too, but not anymore. What a let down. (oh yeah and those stupid date boxes and how katy always calls jo a princess makes me actually sick) Why would any of these guys want to date jo anyway, maybe she should be in voice, dance lessons and definately a new skin regimen and workout! One other thing to is she is trying to be too tan doesnt look good on her. Those knit hats and scarves are sooo awful, and jo is always carrying that big empty purse (big deal) They must be sooo broke to have to do this crap its ridiculous.

When Slade put himself in the middle it ended reality TV for me. What a jerk! Jo doesn't deserve the nice guys that she had to choose from.

Jo is just as bad as she was on Housewives. She has changed by removing her breast implants, tons of added make up, breaki g out in too many zits. Make up can t cover! Last show thought I e guy was going to pop ripe one 4 her! Slade is the I only 1 who really wants her! As a daddy figure & a sick think w/ 20izh acne troubled brainless "girls" he can control. It's obvious he's not about 2 let going. Up needs a cute 16 - 18 yr old. Even the they may B to mature plus intellegent. She should go thru college a coule more x's & sees dermatologist!!!

April T. gave it a2:
Jo sucks! and Slade is disrespectful and a complete jerk. What Slade did, to put himself into the equation is unacceptable! I didn't think "Date my EX" meant that Jo was to date her actual EX!

[Anonymous] gave it a10:
Love Jo! Slade and Jo should get back together. Cute couple.

Em M. gave it a3:
Jo and Slade you just need to get back together already!!! I feel sorry for the poor guys that had to go through this. CRAZY!!
