Take a look:

My name is Amanda Gershkowitz and I am a Casting Associate Producer for ABC families hit reality show 'Wife Swap.' We are currently casting for our fifth season and we are looking for FUN CHEERLEADING FAMILIES! We cast everywhere from Maine to California, and this would bring a fun and unique dynamic to the show. Perhaps you or someone you know runs a cheerleading gym or coaches a cheerleading team and has children that are involved in the sport too.

The premise of Wife Swap is simple: for seven days, two wives from two different families with very different values exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover what it's like to live a different family's life. It's an interesting social experiment and a great way to see your family in a whole new light. It is shot as a documentary series, so NO scripts and no set. It's just one camera that is documenting your life.

Families that appear on the show will receive a financial honorarium for lost wages, time and commitment. And if you refer a family that appears on the show you would receive $1000.

Here at 'Wife Swap' we look for a two-parent home with at least one child between the ages of 6 and 17 living at home full time.
If you are interested, please email me your contact information and tell me a little about your family. Or if you would like to refer a family, please email me their contact information and I will be in touch.

Thank you!

Even though it may make the gym gain new customers I have only seen drama and heartache on the wife swap show and would not want my customers to shown in a negative life as shows like that reserve the right to edit in anyway they see fit to make the show more entertainable.

This show is not nice! It will make your cheerfamily look crazy! Dont do it!

I mentioned this to my daughters and they said, "Don't do it, we'll get a mom that thinks cheer is not good and won't let us go to practice!! My eldest said, "I'll walk the ten miles to practice if she won't take me!!" Actually, I think our family is too boring for that show.

i remember about two years ago, they were looking for this. So we sent in the application to receive more info about it. The rules are very very strict. You have to do what it says and so does your family or you wont get the money they pay you. that is why so many people cave in and make thier kids and spouses do what they are told on the show. It is a very trashy show, with no regards to the emotional trauma it leaves on the chiildren. If you break one rule, they will not pay you.

this show is ridiculous. Its not even a lot of money for what they demand. if you split it amongst your family. its like working a carwash for your gym and then seeing how much you earned.

I cant say how much they pay, because you had to sign a confidentiality contract, but its not a lot

I thought they gave each family $50,000. Is that not true??? confused

I thought it was just enough to cover missed work and stuff....at least thats what it says in the posting.....no enough in my opinion to drive my family nuts!!!

no not even close to $50,000.00 that is trading spouses i believe. but not wife swap it is much less

Date: Wed Nov 12 3:39 PM, 2008

I wouldn't do it for $500,000, or even $5,000,000. There's no amount of money you could pay me to humiliate myself and my family on national television.
