The ABC show Wife Swap is putting out the casting call for gamer families:

The premise of Wife Swap is that one parent from each household swaps places for a week to experience how another family lives. It is an incredible family experience and opportunity to both learn and teach different family values.

Wife Swap is a fascinating story of what happens when two couples see themselves and their partners in a whole new light. The New York Post says, "It should be called 'Life Swap' because it's not just the wives who learn something here. It's the families."

Potential families can live anywhere in the United States, but we ask that families applying for the show consist of two parents and have at least one child, age 7 or older, living at home. Specifically, I'm looking for families whose lives have been enhanced by the world of RPG! If your family loves spending time together by playing fantasy role play, I want to hear from you! To submit for the show email a family photo and description to: gaby.wifeswap@gmail.com.

Families featured on the show will receive a $20,000 honorarium. If you refer a family that is selected you receive $1,000.

If you are a family unit (two parents and children between the ages of 7 and 17) who love an adventure, and live in the continental US, I would love to hear from you today! Please forward this casting to any families you feel would be appropriate!

It's interesting that they put in "enhanced by the world of rpg" and leads me to believe that the set-up they'll use will be a gaming family swaping with a relious nutball family that things games, and RPGs especially, are the work of the devil so as to create conflict and controversy during the second week phase of the show, but who knows maybe I'm just too cynical.

Uhm...haven't they done it already?

They had that religious nutjob swap with a family where they dressed up in costumes and into astrology and stuff like that. I think I saw a trailer that they were swapping her again. This is on a program called "Trading Spouses".

Margaret freaking out ('http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5464505634137914176')

Maybe they can use her as a spokesperson for religious groups.

I'm a bit confused. Why would an ABC scout be using a gmail account?

Yeah, that was a question a lot of people were raising initially but if you google it it comes up in conjunction with a lot of these kinds of casting calls so seems legit
