Virgil Dorjo is the casting producer for ABC Television's hit reality show, Wife Swap and he contacted ACE recently looking to find a family to appear in an upcoming episode. They are looking for a family that loves roller coasters, goes out of their way to enjoy amusement parks, and that love to travel across the country to enjoy roller coasters--more than just a fun thing to do--a passion in their lives.

In case you are unfamiliar with the show, the premise of Wife Swap is to take two different families and have the moms switch place to experience how another family lives. Half of the week, mom lives the life of the family she is staying with. Then she introduces a "rule change" where she implements rules and activities that her family has. Each family should consist of two parents and at least one child over the age of five and should reside in the continental United States. It's a positive experience for people to not only learn, but to teach other families other ways of life.

Wife Swap airs on Disney-owned ABC television on Mondays at 8:00 p.m. (the "family hour") - which was on before Monday Night Football! It focuses on having fun, learning and teaching.

This is a very unique experience that can be life changing for everyone. In addition, each family that tapes an episode of Wife Swap receives $20,000 as compensation for their

time.

If you and your family meets the criteria and are interested in participating in the show, please contact Mr. Dorjo directly. IN ALL COMMUNICATIONS WITH HIM, PLEASE BE SURE TO MENTION THAT YOU WERE REFERRED BY AMERICAN COASTER ENTHUSIASTS.

They are currently experiencing server issues at Wife Swap. Until their server issues are resolved, please contact Mr. Dorjo at his alternate email address: email=wifeswapproducer@gmail.com]wifeswapproducer@gmail.com[/email]. His typical email address is Virgil.Dorjo@rdfusa.com. He checks both emails frequently.

ACE officials have confirmed Mr. Dorjo's employment with RDF Media, the production company contracted by ABC to produce Wife Swap. You may visit the Wife Swap page on the ABC Website, at: http://abc.go.com/primetime/wifeswap/index.html.

ACE was provided with two new releases about this project. They are small files in MS Word format. If you would like to see them, and don't mind getting them as an email attachment, please contact your regional rep (which you can do by replying to this email) and request them.

If you have some interest, but have questions, you are welcome to contact Mr. Dorjo with your questions. Again, be sure to mention that you were referred by ACE.

So, I am assuming that they will be swapping with somebody who has an extreme fear of heights?

or maybe someone that dosnt like leaving the house.

Or a family on a diet?

Just about fell out of my seat when I read AZ's post. I have never seen the show, but I would watch if they had an episode where some extreme coasterphobe was made to ride the biggest baddest coasters out there.

I will admit that while channel surfing, I have watched some of the show. Like most (if not all) reality shows, it thrives on confrontations, and the family that swaps the moms are complete polar opposites of each other. I.E.: Very religious family's mother is swapped with family where 20 year old daughter has soft porn on a web site.

I personally like watching some of these shows, it makes my life seem normal.

^They make my family seem normal as well...until we look at the part of the family out in Missouri.

Or a family on a diet?

Or could be a family that's skinny?

Wasn't this the show that brought us...

"EVERYTHING IS UNGODLY!!!"?

I think you might be thinking of Fox's "Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy". It is pretty much the same thing. lol That woman was insane!!

Are you guys talking about that bigger woman, who was all over the different religious rituals of the other famliy? If you are than yah, she was hilarious! I truly don't like Fox's version however, they really try to make the families clash, in the episodes Ive seen. The ABC version seems less Jerry Springer and more Maury, or Sally, haha
