“Loser Leaves Town” will pit two families who live next door or across the street from each other at odds, and make them take part in competitive challenges, the show’s representatives said.
“We may do something where the neighbors have to clean each other’s yard, and the other neighbors on the street will decide who does the best job,” Taylor- Jordan said.
Taylor-Jordan said those looking to have fun challenges with their neighbors should contact the show for casting. The show will be filmed for three weeks this summer on the neighbors’ street and inside their homes. Both neighboring families must own or rent their homes and have two kids each between 10 and 19 years old.
“We’re hoping that at least one of the families will be fun, outgoing people,” Taylor-Jordan. “The other family can be grumpy, I guess.”
Both families will receive $100,000 for their participation in the series. The losing family will be required to move from their home, but not necessarily “leave town.”
“They can move around the block, as long as they move,” Taylor-Jordan said.
Show representatives said the show will buy the losing family’s home and spring for the moving costs.
“Not only will you walk away $100,000 richer if your family participates, you won’t be living next to your neighbor anymore,” Taylor-Jordan said. “Of course, by the end of the show, the neighbors are going to make up and be sad someone has to move.”
