1. On your show's "out-of-control teen" episode, 15-year-old Britney calls her mom a four-letter word and threatens to slap her. You:
|
|
have your bodyguard wrestle Britney's mom as she tries to pull out her daughter's weave. |
|
stand up tall and tell Britney, "DON'T GO THERE, lassy! You're in MY world, now." |
|
say, "Britney, let's talk about feelings. Where is all this rage coming from? Mom, can you help us out here?" |
|
shake your head, look into the camera and say, "What happened to our kids? Back after the break." |
2. How would you try to get Britney and the other "out-of-control" teens to change their ways?
|
|
set up a therapist "intervention" during the show |
|
give them makeovers |

send them to bootcamp |
|
have them spend a night behind bars |

4. How many makeover shows per year would your show have?
|
|
There'd be a makeover on every show, if I had my way. |

A few shows a month, but mostly for people who've had a rough year. |

Just a few to make "freaky" people look more "normal." |
