It hasn't hit the airwaves yet, but TLC is busy assembling a new show called “High Stakes Sweepers”.\u00a0 It's from the same folks who bring you “Toddlers and Tiaras” and “Extreme Couponing”, so I think it's safe to say they will focus on wacky fringe sweepers rather than normal folks like us.\u00a0 According to TV Guide, TLC describes the\u00a0“High Stakes Sweepers”\u00a0show as being about “die-hard ‘sweepers,' who spend up to 60 hours per week searching for forms, buying products and testing their luck in thousands of contests in the hopes of winning anything from a tube of toothpaste to a trip to Italy.”<\/p>\n

Let's take a look at that statement.\u00a0 I'm sure many of us would enter for both the toothpaste and the trip.\u00a0 No problem there.\u00a0 But “60 hours per week”?\u00a0 Really, I think that rules out most of us.\u00a0 And “searching for forms”?\u00a0 Psst…internet, it's great.\u00a0 It's also where you can find SweepsAdvantage and SweepstakesPlus – we find the entry links for you!\u00a0 “Buying products?”\u00a0 Red alert on that one.\u00a0 We true sweepers know about alternate entry links and mailing away for codes.\u00a0 When possible, we also share them because we are a community, not a bunch of cutthroat loons.<\/p>\n

Do I think the “High Stakes Sweepers” tv show is going to make sweepers look like crazies?\u00a0 Almost certainly.\u00a0 I also think it will introduce the hobby to an audience that did not realize how fantastic and prevalent sweepstakes are.\u00a0 If we can make it through the squirmy moments, I'm hoping that sweepstakes awareness will turn out to be a positive thing for both the sponsors and us sweepstakes<\/a> enthusiasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
