Ok, I'm probably the last person on the planet to find out about this show, but I LOVE IT!  Are you familiar with Candid Camera, where they play a prank on an unsuspecting victim and tape the reaction with a hidden camera? Picture (gratuitous pun) a Candid Camera episode that involves just one victim and spans a whole weekend.

They single out an older teen (aka slacker) and make him think his parents are going away for the weekend. The parents give him some instructions like "a technician is coming to repair the washing machine" and hustle it over to the neighbors house where they watch the show unfold with the host from his monitor.  Occasionally, he will ask the parents to predict how their kid will react in one of the situations and if they are right, they get $1,000. For example, "No, our son won't let them perform an exorcism while we're not home". The kid said, "Sure". Once some people came over to look at the house (which was for sale via "D' Amage" Realty) and these people started to paint a wall to see how their color scheme would look!  There is always a 'celebrity insider'; today Kelly Clarkson, wearing a work uniform, showed up with the repairman and proceeded to wail away at the washer with a hammer.  The poor kids almost always end up saying, "This is the most bizarre day of my life." 

At the end, the parents return home 'as planned', freak out at the house, which is typically a disaster, and start asking for explanations. Every time the kid tells the truth, "Kelly Clarkson did that to the washer", he racks up $500. The parents look stunned and furious, and then the host comes out.

It's a scream--at least I think so.
