Honey, What Won’t You Do For Love or Money?

I just got a special invitation to appear on a new reality show where you have to convince an unwitting partner to tackle a hellish Honey Do list:

I am a Casting Producer for a new “SECRET” game show (HIDDEN, AGENDA!), from the creators of The Newlywed Game and Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. I hope you don’t mind me contacting you, but we’re gearing up for our premiere season at the moment and we’re currently looking for unique couples with LOTS of personality.

Contestants will open-up their homes and pick an UNKNOWING teammate (husband/wife, fiancé, boyfriend/girlfriend) to be their accomplice in this hilarious challenge of wit and task (CASTING IN NY/NJ ONLY AND YOU MUST LIVE TOGETHER).

The show is a fun, lighthearted, comedic, hidden camera show, where you have to convince your UNKNOWING teammate to complete several tasks. And the tasks are things they would not normally do, i.e. laundry, a fitness work out tape, making you dinner, giving you a back massage, etc. (the funnier the better). For every task he or she completes, you win cash and prizes. As the tasks get progressively harder, the cash and prizes increase. You can win $12,000 plus in CASH and PRIZES!!

BUT your secret teammate has no idea they are being filmed or competing (you will be disqualified if you don’t keep it confidential, so don’t tell your secret teammate or anyone that would tell them…including kids)!

We Could Win CASH and PRIZES!

I looked over this letter, and maybe for a second, I was tempted.  Winning would be easy.  My husband will do pretty much anything.

Laundry?  He’ll do it.  It may come out dirtier and dingier than when it went in, but he has doesn’t care what the clothes look like.  Stuffing the pile into the machine is no problem.  With coaching, he’s even been known to sort the clothing as well.

A fitness work out tape?  He’d love to do a fitness work out tape, especially if I do it with him.

Making me dinner? No question, he’ll do it. Heck, he does that most nights.

Giving me a back massage?  I don’t even have to ask.

But We’re Not Doing This Honey, Please List

Yes, my husband is a jewel among men, willing to do just about anything that needs to be done.  But, I wouldn’t want to abuse his trust.  The value of the Household Honey Do List should not be diminished by silly stunts.  Having earned the right to create this list, I also gained a responsibility to treat this superpower with respect.

And, anyway, our Honey Do List is already too long to add anything more.

If you want to do it, here’s how you can get on Honey, Please:

I’m hoping you can forward this on to anyone you think might be interested in this opportunity (the more people the better). And if you are interested, please let me know. We’re only casting for a short period of time, so please contact us ASAP. To get more info and to apply for the show email: casting.honeyplease@gmail.com.
