I gotta say, I've seen an episode or two that were truly dramatic, in the way the two families had to face their prejudices and weaknesses. I saw some touching transformations.
They take two families with strikingly different values, and more often than not, the best battles we witness aren't the interfamily arguments, but those within the psyche of the participants as they struggle to confront their own misconceptions. Wow. Did I just say that?

FIfty thousand man. That's a lot of climbing gear. :twisted: I'll put up with the god warrior-ess herself and bible thumping galore for 50K
In reply to: This is possibly the lamest thread in the history of RC.com. First, the weak-willed corporate recruitment effort; then, a response of kneejerk, gratuitous political comments. You both suck in your own special ways. Where's that wanking emoticon? :roll: |

I'll do it if you promise that I'll be swapped with a republican Christian fundementalist (and I'm not gay, so Pinktricam won't work). Although I can't promise you'll be able to air any of the footage.
I don't watch much of the boob tube, but have had the unfortunate experience of seeing a few clips from this show. I second the vote for worst reality show ever.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go practice with my Powerball.

In reply to: oh yes. i've seen that program. it pairs up incredibly awkward and completely opposite families...one upper class, one lower....builds a plot around argument and class differences. a sure hit with at least a four season shelf life. yeah....yeah. that show sucks.
what are you talking about? the time that socal vegan family switched with the alligator farmers from louisiana, those vegans totally represented everything i stand for...
...if by "totally represented everything i stand for" you mean "were completely off their rocker"...

Say what you will, but I actually did a phone interview with them last night! They asked some tough questions and I think it would be fun to do, and the $50K would be especially rewarding for a poor teacher and environmental activist!
They will call back if our climbing family makes it into the next round. I would picture the biggest nightmare of being shipped off to a wealthy Bush-lovin' veal-farming family, driving hummers and eating McDonald's. But I'm a resilient person and I think it's worth a try!

In reply to: Hello, I am a casting associate for FOX's hit show "Trading Spouses." I was checking out your website and was hoping you could help me out in my search. I am looking for hardcore mountain climbers, mountaineers, backpackers, outdoor lovers and their families to participate in the show which highlights the wealth of cultures and personalities from households across the country. The show requires that each family consist of at least one child between 6-18 years of age and have two parents within the home. At the end of the 7 day shoot, each family receives $50,000! If you are what we are looking for, or know another family that is, please contact me. If you have any questions regarding the show, check out the website at www.fox.com and click on the "Trading Spouses" icon. Our deadline is approaching FAST and I would love for families to have this amazing opportunity. Thanks so much and I can't wait to hear from you! Thanks a lot and take care, Jason
pffff, When will any reality show be just that????? REAL!
Come on now, get yourself 50 folks from this site sitting at home bashing the climbing world from the comforts of there own homes.
Highlights of this show will include-
-Seeing that most people type in the nude
-85% on this site don't even own a rope
-and finally the crux of this show will be when all the nude and semi-nude RCer's meet up in the Valley and shit their pants.
Forgot to add.. Goodluck Wonderwoman!!!!!

Thanks!
PS - I am a real climber, and do not type in the nude. We have a very strict 'must wear clothes while slacking off at work' policy here.

Not really -- I like Wendy's a whole lot better than McDonald's. However, I have heard that McDonald's is considering Veal McNuggets. Well, that and deep fried baby harp seal snack sticks. And they're sized to fit into my H1's cup holders! God, I love this country's corporations.

As far as reality shows are concerned it would only be ok if it were on PBS or NPR, cause then my taxes would pay for the liberal crap they put on.

It would!
That will be SO COOL when my new sport climbing wife comes into our hovel and hears Jimmy Buffet wailing on the stereo...
Tried to amend my traditional habits
Made it nearly 70 days
Losing weight without slamming several beers a day
Climbing lots of 5.7s
And soaking up rays
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not a clipping bolts or pulling down hard
Just big warm buns and a huge chunk of meat
Cheeseburger in trad paradise
Heavan on earth woth a 5.6 face
Not too spectacular not too hard
I'm just a
Cheeseburger in trad paradise!
She won't be in Kansas anymore that's for DAYUM sure!

My wife is a pretty hardcore backpacker - she pierced her labia with bear bells so she can sleep out in grizz country with no worries. I think you would dig us for your show if you can accomodate our need to home school and the fact I play in a Journey cover band on Friday nights.
We have a 50 inch plasma but it only shows "Scarface" 24 hours a day. Director's Cut Alternative Ending, the one where Tony and Manny go to rehab at the end and open a mochachino shop in Boulder. Therefore I haven't seen your show - are you the one that puts people on an island or the one where you try to cook restaurant meals while that angry chef screams at you?

Who here has seen the Dave Chappell comedy skit where they trade black and white spouses/families? I remember the one quote, when Dave comes back to his original spouse..."D@mn Baby, those white people are craazzy. They don't even use wash cloths in the shower."
And I believe the other male black spouse in the skit gets balls deep with the white woman, cause she is all about the male darkmeat size stereotypes.
CLASSIC.
