Sorry, but I can see NO good whatsoever coming out of this. It’s no secret that they edit the shows in such a way that it tweaks the perspective, and not always in a flattering direction. The fact is that the mainstream media (as well as the majority of the viewing public) will never take Bigfoot seriously until they have stone cold proof dumped in their laps, so why would anyone think that Wife Swap would take up the cause and portray a CryptoMom as anything less than the intelligent, open-minded and educated person that we all know and love? And while there would undoubtedly be a certain degree of entertainment value in seeing Biscardi make a first-rate jackass of himself on national television (again) that would only make the rest of us who take this seriously look bad.

Therefore, I again assert that “sensationalist” reality television is no place for any self-respecting cryptofan, be they professional or otherwise.

Just sayin’.

I also am worried what the fall out of this might be to the Big Foot community , It could be both positive or negative depending on the family they choose . And that will boil down to which they think will entertain the best is my fears , WoW this just may be the year Big Foot takes the beating of his life ! Then again even negative press is press and the old man of the forest will still survive it untouched to his eyes .

I would have to agree with the others: no good will come of this. The show is not known for casting sensible, functional families. This has tabloid written all over it. I don’t think anyone should aid in this obviously well-timed attack on the legitimate pursuit of these creatures. The network is just cashing in on the Georgia incident. They will, of course, find their family. Of that, I am certain - and they won’t be Ozzie and Harriet. So why help them in such defamation?

My kids are too old for me to be eligible for the television program, but I would still consider swapping my wife off. If anyone interested might have a small trailer, or an air compressor they are willing to trade.

Oh Please.. No! They will end up making Bigfoot into a huge joke; that on the heels of the GA debacle.. means major set backs for those who are trying to prove their existance scientifically.

I would love to see this happen.

I really enjoy how Wife Swap refers to itself as a “documentary-style program”.

Props to their production staff, though, for doing their research well enough to know to come to Loren.

I’ve seen this show and I wouldn’t recommend it for a family that’s serious about itself. The families that are selected are generally portrayed as “Rosanne” analogs. YMMV.
