I have a co-worker who has been accepted to do "Wife Swap". She's my VP's Admin that I fill in for when she's out (a lot). She leaves on May 29th to go to her other family. She's 40ish, married to her second husband, with 3 daughters - 8/14/16. Her name is Katrina and she'll be the OCD clean freak, trying to look like her family is perfect.
The preliminaries take a couple of months - background checks, psychologist, medical, bloodwork, employment clearances, etc. They'll tell her where she's going when she gets to the AP. They pay $20,000 to do the show!

Wow, you are going to have to let us know when it will air, so we can watch it.

They don't even tell them when it will air until about a week before. If you watch it, remember that what she does has no bearing on me. I am not her mentor, nor do I approve of her work ethics or child rearing standards. Is that a fair disclaimer?!

I think for 20K I would do it. I would board the dogs first. I live alone and my daughter has her own family. How much harm could she do?
Of course, they'd never pick me. Darn! I could really use $20,000!

That would be pretty cool to know some one on a show like that. When you find out when it's on...let us know too. And your disclaimer was pretty good.

Katrina leaves tonight for her Wife Swap taping. She says she got a hint and thinks she'll be going to Florida. I've been trying to convince her that she'll be in an Alaskan igloo. She was hoping for Brad Pitt, but didn't want to give Angelina to her hubby (even pg with twins). I'd make such a fool of myself doing something like that.

I think that show's annoying. lol
So what happens when one of the "mismatched" couples really clicks and they decide NOT to go back? It could happen quite easily!

I watched it last night. It was interesting. The men got something out of it. The wives had their daggers out. They reacted to each other like idiots.

I am missing out here.. When is the show on? Let me know so I can watch it, I have seen coming attractions that's about it.
So your friend will be a celebrity wow! and will be paid pretty nicely. Let us know when it will be aired. It should be fun watching... As for me I do like a very clean house and I am anal about it. I do run around due to work but I don't think I would like to be a candiate on the show. lol |
