I recently came across an ad online for a new Reality TV show. The ad read as follows:

“- HAVE YOU AND YOUR SIBLINGS BEEN IN A DISPUTE OVER MONEY, RELATIONSHIPS, FAMILY, FRIENDS OR ANYTHING? DO YOU WANT A CHANCE TO CONFRONT THEM ON OUR SHOW AND RESOLVE YOUR ISSUES?

– HAS YOUR SIBLING OR SIBLINGS DONE SOMETHING UNFORGIVABLE TO YOU AND YOU WANT TO CONFRONT THEM ON TELEVISION ABOUT IT?

– IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR SIBLING/SIBLINGS EXTREMELY TOXIC AND YOUR READY TO CONFRONT THEM TO CLEAR THE AIR?

-IS YOUR SIBLING CONSTANTLY INTERFERING WITH AND TRYING TO SABOTAGE YOUR RELATIONSHIP? DO YOU WANT TO TELL THAT PERSON TO BUTT OUT AND MIND THEIR BUSINESS?

– IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN A CONFLICT WITH THESE SCENARIOS OR FOR ANY REASON AND YOU WANT TO CONFRONT THAT PERSON ON OUR SHOW AND LET US HELP YOU RESOLVE YOUR DISPUTE, THEN PLEASE CONTACT US ASAP!OUR SHOW TAPES IN NYC ON THURSDAY AUGUST 9th. ALL APPLICANTS MUST BE AVAILABLE ON WEDNESDAY AUGUST 8th. ALL NON-NYC GUESTS WILL BE GIVEN ROUNDTRIP TRAVEL FROM THEIR HOMESTATE TO NYC. WE COVER AIRFARE, HOTEL, LIE DETECTOR TESTING (IF NEEDED), AND MEAL MONEY.”

I don’t understand why anyone would want to air their family’s dirty laundry on national television but I guess some people will do anything for a free trip to NYC!

There is a better to resolve estate disputes with your siblings: Mediation
