The show has also been accused of harboring sexual predators. And, among the worst of their offenses, V Show is usually considered unfunny or off-target in its humor. This includes a total misjudging of what their audience wants to hear/see (a more than proportionate share of settings and themes deal with only Barnard College, which can annoy and alienate CC, GS, and especially SEAS students). Being the "top" theatre performance group on campus, they also get a little peeved at negative reviews or receptions of their shows. This has led to consistent antagonism with [[Bwog]], which usually finds Varsity Show to be underwhelming.

The show is used as a way to try out the material on a real student audience however the true plot of the show is kept concealed by creating a new plot for West End Preview or presenting songs out of context.
