I recently became a fan of the TLC show While You Were Out, which some may call a variation of Trading Spaces. A spouse sends his/her mate out for a 2 day trip, and the mate has no idea that while he/she's out, the better half is renovating a room (or sometimes an outdoor area) while they're out. In fact, While You Were Out does have a quiz element where someone follows the spouse who was sent out with a video camera. The spouse is asked various questions about his/her better half. (How long they're going to get away with this gimmick, I'll never know) The better half is then asked these questions, which wins them prizes such as furniture or some other knick knack for their room, while answering wrong wins them a not so nice booby prize.
Teresa Strasser replaced the original hostess of While You Were Out, whom was obviously not fitting in with the show. Some of you may remember Teresa from GSN's \"Lover's Lounge\", the more tolerable co-host of the GSN filler that talked about the \"games of love\".
However, I discovered, courtesy of IMDB that Teresa has an interesting game show background beyond Lover's Lounge. Teresa also was a writer for The Chair, It's Your Chance of a Lifetime, and Win Ben Stein's Money. She also was a segment producer for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
