Trading Swans
Posted on November 28, 2004 @ 7:45 pm
Just imagine how cool a reality television show combining Trading Spouses with The Swan would be. Here’s the premise: two moms sign up to swap families for a month, but there’s a twist. On this show, each mom is assigned a team of specialists –- a coach, therapist, trainer, cosmetic surgeon, and dentist — who work to physically transform them into one another (like Face/Off, only with less overacting and fewer slow-motion gunfights). Then, both moms are sent back to their new families and attempt to pass as one another until the month is up. After that, they’re transformed back into themselves and reveal the ruse to their families. We have a few laughs, shed a few tears, and…fade to black. Executive Producer: Me.
I think I’ll call it Trading Swans. Or maybe X-Treme Trading Swans to appeal to the crucial 18-34 demographic. It feels like the show needs something more before I pitch it to the networks, though. Maybe a room-remodeling-on-a-budget element?

That is either the most brilliant idea that I’ve ever heard — or the scariest.
Mayb throw in some Fear Factor elements? Like, whichever mom passes all the stunts gets to pick the family she stays with.
