This is so exciting!!!! I can't believe a BN'er might make it!!!

I didn't want to admit it earlier, but I DO watch this show. It helps me show hubby, "see, there's people messier than me!" And I enjoy seeing some really extreme people tone it down for the good of the kids.

Hmmmm, that might make it not work for jimmolliemom... they really like people who have issues that need help, like work-aholics or gym-aholics. They may need a family that is more whacked than yours!

I see why Mallory was having "issues" with this thread...
you can't edit your posts, and she was clicking quote instead like I just did a minute ago.

I was going to add that the last Wife Swap I watched, it was about a mom who was a uber personal trainer swapped with people who were champion speed-eaters.

How can you not like a show like that???
The speed-eaters trained by wolfing hotdogs while the mom timed the dad and son with a stop watch. They were afraid of losing speed when the swap mom made them stop training to eat more healthy.

In that case, you might qualify... you have to be really extreme, almost in a way that is detrimental to your family's mental health, to qualify for the show!

Good luck with it and hope you get to go on!!

We sometimes get it here - but if not - I am sure a BN'er can burn to a DVD For me to watch it!!!

They try to pair families with opposite qualities....what would be the opposite of a nice, neat, happy, Parrothead family?

Well, we spent this afternoon making the video for the producers. Mollie did a GREAT job of promoting the TTWWY album. When I asked her her fav Jimmy tune, she said " Bama Breeze, off the new album, ABC, go buy it! For an older one, Off to see the Lizard"... I laughed, THAT'S MY GIRL!!!

Now, to finish up in the morning and get it in the mail....

Found it... This is from a local radio station I listen to:

Wife Swap Calls For Hip-Hop Families
ABC's hit television series Wife Swap is looking for "Hip-Hop families" to star in the new season of the reality show. Wife Swap is seeking families who live a Hip-Hop lifestyle (including career choice) and believe freedom of expression is important to their children.In order to qualify, families must consist of two parents with children between the ages of 5-18. Selected families reportedly receive a $20,000 bonus for appearing on the show. For more information, send an email to families@rdfusa.com or visit www.abc.com.

Well, if anybody can convert a family like that to Parrothead-ness, it'll be Jill !!!

It's possible to like MM an JB at the same time (ask me how I know

).......it' be easier then hip-hop, I'd think.

However, some hip-hop songs are starting to draw on traditional Caribbean vibes...at least a few. There might be a way to 'connect' with that if you had to.

I'll let jimolliemom (Jill) tell ya the details, but it looks pretty sure they will be on NATIONAL FREAKIN' TV IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, CAMERAS IN THEIR HOUSE FOR TWO WEEKS !!!!!!!!!!!!! probably

Oh good gosh she's got WAY more balls.....uh.....guts than I ever would have. Good money for only two weeks' worth. This is big. I think once they see on the tape she sent in of her family, they will definitely make it a reality. Wow. A BN'r on FREAKIN' NATIONAL TV IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
