"RE: Wife Swap needs families" LAST EDITED ON 07-14-05 AT 05:18 PM (EST) BE VERY CAREFULL if you contact these folks. They have lied to and deceived familys. Of course they found out after they signed a release, and if they are reluctant to go through with the show ABC and the folks from rdfusa threaten to sue the family and strand the wife at an unknown location. If you think this can't be true, and you contact these people ask what ABC and their rdf cronies did to the Bedford family. That is if they are willing to tell you the truth. This is as reported in the Bedford familys local newspaper (the McAlester news). A spokesman for the show was given a chance to comment, but they refused. This speaks volumes. You have been warned Robbie   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Wife Swap needs families" LAST EDITED ON 07-19-05 AT 08:48 PM (EST) Hello my name is Patrice and I am a mother of two teens and the wife of an awesome man. I enjoy your show, "Trading Spouses", and I would like to know if our family here in Spring Lake, NC could be considered in one of your episodes?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Wife Swap needs families" Wow, I hadn't heard anything about ABC stranding the mother somewhere and I certainly didn't hear anything bad about the show. Where have you heard these things??? --Donna :~)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

robbie 12 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 07-21-05, 06:28 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Wife Swap needs families" I don't know if they did, but the article I read in the McAlester news said they were threatened with a lawsuit and that the wife would be stranded if the family was reluctant to do the show. What is interesting is an ABC rep, Steve McPherson was quoted in our newspaper in a article about reality TV saying "we will not do the mean stuff". WOW I hate to see what they call mean. I will try to get the link to the news story and post it. Robbie   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Article" Ok, I did some digging and found the article I think you were talking about... http://www.mcalesternews.com/articles/2004/11/06/news/top_stories/top01.txt After reading this article, I'm surprised that this story wasn't more widely known especially since this is on ABC. If this woman is telling the truth, I would have been the one to sue them... --Donna :~)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

robbie 12 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 07-24-05, 08:11 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Article" LAST EDITED ON 07-24-05 AT 08:15 AM (EST) Yep Donna, thats the one. Sad thing is this show started out good. Then it was clear that ABC started coaching the kids on what to say ect. These families signed up in good faith not looking for money and trusted that ABC was truthfull in how they advertised the show, in fact the casting calls still say that it is for wives and mothers. There is a Yahoo group for wifeswap that has a few members that were on the show. They used to tell all about their experiances, till They were told to stop. (guess by who) I just wanted people to be aware of how ABC treats people before it happens to them. ps. I'm sure they could not sue due to the release they signed. I read in the Yahoo group that it is quite extensive. Robbie   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

robbie 12 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 11-29-05, 09:53 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Article" It looks like ABC is going to get sued over this. I hope the Bedfords win. ABC say's the participants where told the swapped spouces could be male of female, but if they where not specifically told they may be homosexual than ABC deliberatly lied to and decieved the families that volunteered.

Bebo 20880 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-10-05, 08:48 AM (EST) 8. "Advice" It's a dangerous practice to put your telephone number (or other personal information) out on a public message forum. You could start getting telephone calls from people you really don't want to be hearing from. That's why we warn people in our guidelines to be careful with their personal information. I'd advise you to click on the Edit link at the bottom of your post and remove those numbers. If you really want to be in touch with the show, follow the instructions in the original message or go to ABC's site for more information - posting your information here will not get you what you're looking for.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

atzd 83 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 11-30-05, 12:30 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Advice" If these shows would be for real, where the wives settle in and we get to see the normal differences in real families, instead of always playing up one or two issues, then I'd consider it. But they always like to play up specific aspects and it seems to me that they either instruct the wives on this, or work their magic to steer the show in the direction that they want it to go. The familes seem to be getting more and more extreme, and I often find myself disgusted with both of them. I wish they'd just pick normal families, it would be both interesting and funny how we'd then see the subtle differences in lifestyles and the way people react to them.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Ygg 7 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 12-09-05, 03:18 AM (EST) 13. "RE: Wife Swap needs families" I would be *very* leery of any outfit that lists "Adam West" as its billing contact (http://www.samspade.org/t/lookat?a=rdfusa.com) and winds up with Florida hosting (http://www.samspade.org/t/whois?a=vhosts11.aosoft.com). The severely irritated might wish to take note of the domain status on the latter.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
