Chance for storm chasing family to make 20k

[Warren Faidley]

Hello everyone, I received a call from an agent who is seeking a family to appear on ABC's show "Wife Swap." You must be a married couple with at least one child at home over the age of 6. You can be a spotter, chaser, researcher, etc., but somehow involved in chasing. They pay a nice fee of 20k if you are selected. I have not seen the show, so make sure you know what you are getting into. I don't fit the bill, but thought someone in the group might be interested.

Contact me offline and I'll pass on your information.

Thanks:

Warren

20 grrr is nice... but they would probably hook you up with a chronic whiner that would ruin chasing forever for you. I think the end result would be deploying this person as a turtle in front of a mile wide ground chewing brush hog EF4...and driving away very fast.

Seems they were looking for a chaser family last year and I actually looked into it further. My wife would NEVER go for it, but they wanted to take a wife from a bird watching family or other such hobby and swap with the storm chasers. The 20k is new this time, that never was mentioned before. Still don't know if it'd be worth the drama they put you through!

stormchasing wife swipe my wife would put the guy to work cleaning the house

Well another good laught for the day? I guess we don't count because our two boys are in college and the two girls are now out of college and working.

I should tell my wife it is any easy way to make some money . She would put the poor other guy to work cleaning our house the way she wants.
Har har
I should ask her tonight. I could tell my wife I found someone to clean the house while I go on a "trip" somewhere else.

They should have never offered the 20K the way everyone is giving everything away to TV networks for free these days!

I was contacted about this a couple of years ago. back then they offered $50K
I have seen the show and even IF I had kids, I wouldn't do the show.

IMO the show is painfully boring to begin with. Make it a chasing theme and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

I'm unphased by "reality" shows full of people being coached through every line for sensationalism. Time to wipe the slate and start over again with something new, unless producers pull their collective head out of their collective a$$ and start making "real" fake TV shows again. Primetime television has been all but destroyed in America for years now. Thank God for syndication, where you can find real shows that are what TV is supposed to be: make-believe.

I don't sit down in front of a television to see what I can see everyday outside my front door: fake people trying to be real.

id definintly do it, but i dont fit the qualifications.

 

[John Olexa]

I have never watched the show, and really don't plan to.

The only reality show I watch is Miami Ink, I will watch the new one LA Ink when it starts Tue night.

My wife said "no" to the wife swap. har har
Anyway survivor fiji was won by a guy from Kansas City I just found out. Another women won one a couple of years ago or last year in a city a little ways from kansas city.
I like the American iron chef battles, Hell's kitchen , the Food channel food star. But the latest one a lot of people like is Top Chef on Bravo. I also like Bizarre foods on the travel channel.

I'd do this for 20K. I could pay some bills and have more money to chase with. Seriously, is there an easier way to make that much money in a short amount of time? What is it, a week? Two Weeks? I have a fourteen year old son....hmmmmmm. But asking my wife, that's another story.

 

[Jesse Risley]

Just tell your wife who's boss and that you're going to make $20k, like it or not! If she doesn't like it, tell her to sleep on the couch or something. She'll get over it in a week and you can take the $20k and have a nice vacation..just you and her.

 

[Eric Flescher]

Are you married or have a girlfriend?

Are you married or have a girlfriend? If you have you must know IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY
(1) the woman is the boss (most of the time) because she's the boss and holds the key whether you happy or not - wink wink
(2) You'll be the one sleeping on the coach
(3) They don't get over anything . NEVER.
(4) if it does go - you will go on the vacation alone

IMO, is 20 Gs worth this show portraying you in a light that, when it finally airs, you most likely will say "hey, that's not how I really am!". I know a couple that was on this show, and they are now divorced. Granted their marriage had some problems to begin with and would've eventually failed no matter what, but this show just sped it along. And as Shane mentioned, there is still a ton of direction and scripting going on... just like in any bogus reality show out there nowadays.

Save your dignity and stay away!!!!

Warren, tell the producers to go to that one bar in Clayton we were all at a couple of seasons ago on a Saturday nite and film THAT bunch of local yokels...including that completely wasted moron who sat down at the player piano and pounded it's keys while trying to sing love songs. I'd PAY 20 G's just to see that episode!
