Wife-Swap

Our family has been approached almost every year for the past 4 years by the producers of Wife Swap and/or Trading Spouses. Each time we have turned them down for two reasons: 1. We have a disabled son who wouldn't understand the switch and 2. after our experience with America's Got Talent and the desire for sensationalism at ANY cost on behalf of the show..even if that means making one of use angry or sad just for the drama of it (not gonna put my family through that). Even after explaining that to the casting producers they still contact us year after year. This year though they asked for references so I recommended a family of performers we know and it turns out they will be doing the show (as to whether it airs or not will be up to how the filming turns out and if it is dramatic enough for them to use.) So over the next few months you may just see a traveling family who sing, dance and do a hill-billy style comedy act on that show (we won't see it 'cause we can't bring ourselves to the level of watching that crud.) exchange their mom/wife for another woman for a week. (It's ?good? publicity and a chance to win $10K for them.) I wish them luck...even if it sounds like I am negative on the thing.....I should mention I was tempted once to do the show....for about 1/10th of a second...but I was tempted!
