It's not just wedding season here-it's taking over TV as well! A must see CW's new "Hitched or Ditched" hosted by Tanya McQueen
("Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"), executive producers Mike Fleiss
("The Bachelor"), Chris Coelen
("Secret Millionaire"), Greg Goldman
("Secret Millionaire," "Wife Swap"), Mike Duffy
("Addicted to Beauty") and Jason Ehrlich
("The Bachelor"). On this new reality TV show, friends nominate couples who have been together for so long that they need to make a definite decision; tie the knot already or break up...move on. Talk about pressure...
The show offers the couple the chance of a free wedding, a made-for-TV wedding, one like they’ve always dreamed of, no more excuses
not to get married ---
in one week! - :::Feeling any pressure yet?::: and they must announce whether they really want to get married once they get to the altar and the clergyman asks, "Do you take this man as your husband?" "Do you take this woman as your wife?"...................... oy
Last night I watched the first episode, "Bastards Out Of Carolina" Celisa and Travis battled with the resistance of both of their families and it finalized with CeLisa saying "I Do" and then being dumped by Travis.
This show really works like shock therapy on a relationship: Focus now or forever hold your peace. huh?
It's always amazing to see how cruel some people are willing to be with a camera pointed at them. But you'll be fascinated by the shifting feelings these couples go through before making up their minds at the moment of truth.
With all that said, mark your calendars to watch some not so drama-free episode on June 16th. I guarantee it's worth the watch!
