This show is good for what it is. And thats a show specifically made for teenagers. I'm sure the actually city of Maui is filled with diverse, intelligent, and cultured people but unfortunately the common teen is looking for something else.. And I'm sure MTV found it with Maui Fever. Drama, Sex, alcoholism, parties, and hook-ups is basically what a young adult finds interesting; If the show tried a more cultured approach, their ratings might sink even though it might be known to be more respectable. This shouldn't be a debate, nor should it be hated on. It's a show, that either entertains you or not. I'm sure no-one despises it so much that they have to rate it 1 out of 10. So relax. Watch it and take your brain out, gasp at the awkward relationships and giggle at the boys one track minds.
