It Takes a Wife-Beater

I saw the last half of a show on the Discovery Channel recently called It Takes A Thief. My viewing was a little disorienting since I started watching with it half-over and had no idea what the premise was. Essentially, these former robbers break into homes while a film crew films it so that they can show the family and America how accessible their belongings are.

Things get pretty emotional, and the robbers get to meet with the home-owners a day later and reveal the booty they took. The robbers on these shows are such smirky little jerks-offs. Essentially, they break in, tear crap up, then get to rub it in the person's face while talking to them. The show pays for security measures to be taken, and then the thieves try again.

I was thinking of creating a similar show revealing the weaknesses of spouses. A former domestic abuser could work his old craft on an unsuspecting wife. After the beating, the show could pay for her viewing of self-defense films or give her a gun. Then the former domestic abuser could attempt to whoop her again.

I know it would be a hit.

I'm just having troubles thinking of a name...
