+Camo-crazed Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I have already swapped my wife for a better, newer model. TRADE UP, NOT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when will people learn? Quote Link to comment
twjolson & Kay Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 is that kind of like trading a 50 for two 25's? Quote Link to comment
+TeamAO Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Saw this show once, pretty fun I thought. Put the date up online for when it airs when you know, because I really want to see this, I really see them matching you with a 500lb lady and you guys going on a geocache with a terrain rating of 5. Any publicity is good publicity. Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 here's hoping it goes through and goes well. then that they decide to show it this side of the pond. so side bets please ladies and gents, who's he going to get? someone who's a technophobe , believes the earths flat, weights 500pounds and is agoraphonic!

+MustangCatt Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 OMG! We should ask ABC to do a reality series on Geocaching instead of doing the whole wife swap thing ...It would be sooooo funny to watch some of the things that happen to others while they were out geocaching! What do y'all think about this idea? Quote Link to comment
+geognerd Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 ABC wouldn't pick up a show about geocaching. But I honestly think OLN could make something out of it. Perhaps some sort of competitive geocaching event show. Hide different types of caches, then let one cacher at a time search. Throw in some surprises like a rubber snake or jets of water to make things more interesting. Wife Swap's an OK show but one about geocaching would be so much better. Quote Link to comment

+BillsBayou Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 After the "Law and Order" show aired and seeing your thread, I'm wondering what they'll have you do to make Geocaching more "viewer friendly." Don't let them hand any member of your team a trowel. Quote Link to comment
+Clothahump Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Heh, heh, heh. Take them to this cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...F2&Submit6=Find On second thought, don't. (Where's the puking frog emoticon?) Quote Link to comment
Pipanella Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Heh, heh, heh. Take them to this cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...F2&Submit6=Find On second thought, don't. (Where's the puking frog emoticon?) I can't believe that cache exists and got approved. Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Make it a road trip and come hunt this cache! That would make for interesting TV, especially if you do it Halloween night like one group did last year. Quote Link to comment
twjolson & Kay Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Did you ask them if you like the swapped wife more then your original one, can you keep her? And if so, ask if you can request celebrity wives. Quote Link to comment
PyroDave Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 dont forget to wake her up at 2am to run and get a ftf that was just listed. Man I hope it works out cause I'm in tears reading these posts. It will even better to see it on TV. Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 why not mother in law swap? i'll swap my (albeit soon not to be due to divorce) mother in law for pretty much anything. any takers? Quote Link to comment
+Rainwater Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Any news on this? we watch that show and I would love to catch this one! Quote Link to comment
+Stephanie2427 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Being the reality tv junkie that I am I know a little how these things work. If he was approved to be on the show he's had to sign his life away by now and is not allowed to talk about it anymore. At least not until after the air date. Quote Link to comment

If he was approved to be on the show he's had to sign his life away by now and is not allowed to talk about it anymore. At least not until after the air date. Also, I wonder how many episodes they make for every one they show. After all, no matter how good your research, you can't guarantee there'll be the right amount of conflict to make "good TV". I would bet if the OP gets a 500lb new wife but she turns out to love geocaching (and his kids, his house, etc), and vice versa in the other house, that they'll get a warning from the producer to "up the conflict levels", and if they don't, it just won't get shown.

Pinster56 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Anybody heard any updates as to whether or not this is going to air? Or maybe the whole story was made up? Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Yeah, I want to see it. Maybe they give him a gag order. I can't wait to see them caching on TV, wonder what the world will think of it??? BTW, yesterday a guy and his wife from my area was on there. My mom worked in the same factory with him, and about 1,000 other people, so she didn't know him. It was cool to see a local on there, he got some hippie from up north for his trade. (He got the bad end of the deal IMO.) Quote Link to comment
rynd Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 yesterday a guy and his wife from my area was on there. That was the one and hopfully only episode of that crap I've ever watched. Unless of course they do have geocachers on it. Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) Yeah, I wanted to watch the sci-fi monster show surface on the other channel, but figured watching a local on TV doesn't happen every day. I didn't think it was too bad, it was hilarius watching that hippie woman make that guy eat raw veggie stuff. I wanted to know why that woman applied for the show in the first place if she thought TV was so bad. Edited October 11, 2005 by Airmapper Quote Link to comment
rynd Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I wanted to know why that woman applied for the show in the first place if she thought TV was so bad. I hadn't even thought about that I am so sick of fakeality TV. Quote Link to comment

I haven't heard anything back from ABC. I'm wondering if ABC thinks we're not radical enough to make a compelling show. Quote Link to comment
+olbluesguy Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Im' wondering if they will let you go after a real cache,or create a phony one for you to hunt. I wouldnt like that. I hunt, and sometimes I see hunting scenes in movies that are created by Hollywood types that have no Idea of which they are talking about, and it makes my blood boil. Don't let them do that to Geocaching. Quote Link to comment

nobby.nobbs Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 you don't know why someone would do it if they hated tv? 1. for the money 2. because too many people want their 15 mins of fame for doing sod all Quote Link to comment

+Clothahump Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Boy, if I were in their shoes, I'd set it up with a friend and a local approver. Have the friend go hide a cache in a location that is an ardous hike, but not a killer. When the show is approved, have him submit it to the local approver, who okays it immediately, so that it shows up around midnight. Shake the swapped wife out of a sound sleep for a midnight ramble to get FTF! I'd almost be willing to pay money to see that. Quote Link to comment
+dinobalz Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Guess it's not going to happen. Too bad, if one of these shows had a geocaching theme, I might actually watch it. Might have caught on, too. Wife swap/geocache... Certainly would give FTF new meaning. Quote Link to comment

+RockyRaab Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 CM, I hope I'm not being a wet blanket here, but if I were you, I'd back out NOW. Believe me when I say I've had enough experience with network TV to know that you are never going to be happy again if you do this. They will belittle you and your family, humiliate you all on national television not just now but forever in re-runs, and then make you sign a contract that you will never complain about it to anyone, ever. I cannot think of a more horrible thing to do to yourself, and that includes self-immolation. Really. Quote Link to comment
snowfoxrox Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 If this is something you would really like to do remeber this: Before you drive the swapped wife to he brink of insanity, she will be allocating how you spend your money. Piss her off too much and and you will see your $50,000 spent in ways that really will make your blood boil! And on the other paw, if she likes geocaching, and reads this log- how's she gonna feel? Just my 2 cents... ~SFR~ Quote Link to comment
