On their new out of touch reality show The Briefcase

The show features struggling American families, one of which is gifted a briefcase containing $101,000. But the windfall comes with a catch. The recipients are given information on another family, struggling as badly, if not worse. Some have children with disabilities. Some are wounded military veterans. All of them need help.

The family given the briefcase of cash has to decide whether to keep the cash or share it with the other family. The casting so far would seem to show The Briefcase chooses families who put the strangers before themselves.

If you're not offended, you're probably touched.

But in a made-for-reality TV twist, both families are soon forced to make the same decision. Unaware the other family received the same briefcase and offer, unsuspecting families agonize over whether to keep the money or share it. They visit each others' homes, where the guilt piles on. Broken appliances are revealed. Artificial limbs are spotted.
