Local family on TV reality show

Romeo D'Souza, Connie D'Souza, daughter Christine and her friend Amanda Leliever, participated in an episode of Guess What, You're Moving Out!

A Caledon family got a first-hand view at a reality TV show.

The D'Souza family and their daughter Christine will be featured on an upcoming episode of Guess What, You're Moving Out!, an innovative design show with an edge. Part While You Were Out, part Candid Camera, the series boldly combines great design with hilarious hidden camera surprises. Guess What, You're Moving Out! gives adult kids the gentle but firm nudge they need to move out of their parents' home. Yes, it's time to toss the baby bird out of the nest and give them a fabulous nest of their own.

The show conspires with parents across the country, to get unsuspecting "kids" out of the house so show staff can move in, move their stuff out and get them gone for good! But they're not kicked to the curb - they're set up in their own personally designed pad.

With the help of mom and dad and a few good friends or siblings - they'll get the kid out of the house for the weekend. Designer/host Andrika Lawren and her design team then has 48 hours to pack up all of "junior's" old stuff, relocate it to a new apartment and design a space that will have "junior" loving their new home and hopefully embracing their new-found independence.

But there's one slight catch - Andrika has never met our kid so she has to try to get as much information from mom and dad about his/her likes and dislikes. But how well do parents really know their children? The design team has very little to work with from the kids' old room - a bed, lava lamp and some baseball posters, for example.

But, while the designer is clearing out mom and dad's house and working on a new space for our "kid who won't leave home," the host is spending some "quality" time with the kid. The only thing is the kid won't have any idea he/she is spending time with the host of the show!

The D'Souzas, of Dixie Road, were the subjects of the series' sixth show. They began shooting Sept. 9-12 and unveiled Christine's Toronto apartment Sept. 12.
