TV Pitch: "LifeSwap"

"LifeSwap" - Is my Reality TV idea that takes two people, from the same occupation, and switches their roles within the company, organization, or school...kind of like Wife Swap with professions (Thus, comes the name!). They swap their lives for a week, and then are filmed again the week after that as their original profession/occupation/study. So, what exactly do I mean by that? Take a look at the Pilot and other episode ideas:

Pilot: Robby and Ben
In this episode, we switch around the lives of UC Santa Barbara students Rob and Kat.
Kat, a Junior Chemical Engineering student with a GPA of 2.2 will switch her studies in the school for two weeks with Rob, a Communications major with a GPA of 3.8. For the first time in his life, Rob will have to figure out what exactly trigonometric functions are, while will have to cope with extended free time.And more intriguing than that, they'll have to resume their daily lives after a week of stressful changes in study habits, course schedules, all in the name for a fight for a $50,000 prize.

"LifeSwap" is a show that most likely would appear on an "Over the Air" station, such as CBS, NBC, or ABC, because it most likely won't attracted just one demographic. I view the show as attracting Men from 18-30 as well as Women from 18-50. It attracts users who like "stress induced reality", falling in line with the show Hell's Kitchen (without the cooking).

Stay tuned for future episodes of LifeSwap, featuring Cameron and Whitney, a mechanic and secretary, respectively!

Digital Identity

Hmmm, My Digital Identity:

I'm electing to Alex Hubbard.
Myself? Well, yeah.
Sure, I wouldn't change my name, but I believe a name says nothing about my identity.
I wouldn't necessarily change what I'd believe I had physically, I'll change what's hard to change physically, and that's attitude.
What's wonderful and costly about the internet at the same time is the fact that you can pretend to be anyone you want to be, but I don't believe it's quite that easy to "pretend" what your attitude is towards others. Even if it's not the easiest job in the world to show appreciation in real life, if you truly believe that you do, it'll come out on the internet - even if you're material goods don't.
So, what makes this identity particularly stand out online?
I wouldn't be the guy flashing around what makes me "amazing", I'd make sure you're the one feeling amazing.
That's not a lot of words to describe my actions, but the actions, as I'd like to believe we all know, speak much louder than words.
Put in one sentence, I'd be the person who thinks before he does.

There's really no pictures, videos and the digital like to describe my digital identity. If I'm wrong, tell me (please!)
