I must note for the record that this is basically a game show competition and therefore she is, in fact, some object they might win in a contest.
Though the whole "Yesss! She's hot!" thing many of them did as they were introduced was, well, not slick, I didn't think they were particularly treating her like a potential posession - at least less so than many guys (hot and not) of my acquaintance or observation tend to. They seemed well aware that they were "out of their league" and all the power of choice was in her hands. They seemed more aware than usual that, while they were competing against the other guys, they were competing against them
for her approval, not just against the other guys for a largely inanimate prize. The focus was on impressing her rather than just on the "competition." It's a slight difference, but one I found significant.
