I think the fact that they are not as attractive as any of those other shows (The hills, Laguna beach) is what makes this show more real. In the real world not everyone looks like models and actors. Attractiveness is universal, these people might be attractive to some but not all!! So I happen to like the show, I have become addicted to the characters. I also like the location in Maui, Hawaii. It is interesting scenery to watch. No matter what reality show, there is always some kind of improvising or acting going on when your in front of a camera, but this show is as real as it gets in terms of the look of the characters and what people in there 20's do in their everyday life; they basically hang-out, party, surf, have sex and go through relationship problems.

first of all, this whole reality TV is getting out of hand. i love reality TV but this show is AWFUL i cant believe how much they completely make every girl ( considering most of them arnt even of drinking age) partying and hooking up with guys even the ones that are the main characters in the show the guys are pigs which u can realize before even watching the show and the show makes the whole island look like its filled with college kids that are primarily white. i cant stand how basically its a bunch of sluts (men and women) running around with no jobs or school...and partying every night and getting wasted and having sex!!! i just don't get it, how many people are really interested in this garbage!! i feel like i get more stupid just watching the previews lol...i just needed to vent about how horrible this show was uhhhh

This show puts Laguna Beach to shame. It actually shows the reality of some young people, and the reality of what they get up to in this day and age. To be honest i think the whole concept is hilarious, because its completely the opposite to Laguna Beach where all the actors are rich. I did love Laguna Beach, but i like this one too because i can relate to it much easier than to a bunch of rich kids, who don't represent the true Orange County, where there are plenty of average young Americans too! Firstly i understand why some residents of Maui may have been offended by it. But in honest opinion it doesn't give a representation of Maui as a whole, only a representation of those specific actors and their specific lifestyles. Any viewer will understand that its not the real thing and that Maui is still a beautiful place with a lot to offer. However i think this whole argument has been blown totally out of proportion. MTV has always been known to showcase programmes which can be offensive. But that appeals to me and probably to most of MTV's viewers. If you don't like it then simply don't watch it! There's no reason to hate it just because of the location. You must consider that it is a TV show made for the purpose of entertainment, even though it may not be based on fact.Lets not be selfish here. The fact it, Maui is being put on the map and I'm sure you cant complain. There will always be controversy for any reality TV programme on MTV. The Hills does not give a true impression of LA for instance! There are a lot of poor people there too. But the fact is, its a TV show based on the lives of those individuals.I think its an awesome show, probably the best of MTV ever! The cast are absolute jokers, and partying is fun!

I dislike Maui Fever because it showed teenagers/young adults hooking up and partying. I was born and raised on the island of Maui and life here is nothing like that. It's not all about partying and having sex, we have a life. We work, go to school, play sports, play music, and live the island life. This show disgraces my island home. Also, ethnicity on Maui vary, it's not just 1 type, like shown. I understand that an opportunity for the local people were offered and not taken because the true local people are not those that expose themselves on national television. Those that are filmed are in fact the only ones that agreed to be filmed. That's not the way of life on Maui. The show makes visitors of Hawai'i not want to come because of fear that their child could be raped from these boys on the show asking them out and having sex with them. I believe that it should not continue on air for the sake of the islanders. Sacred places are revealed on the show that no one should know about. Permission from the Maui residence should have been asked before filming began. Thank you for your time.
