ILL INTENTAlways InnovateWork With UsIll Intent Casting × Swapped
Swapped, hosted by Jenny Portillo and streaming through DETT Network, is building its next cast of bold, authentic Houston singles ages 18 and older.
One ride. New connections. Real decisions.
Every stop introduces a new possibility. Feel the chemistry, ask the real questions, and decide whether to swap, cut, or keep. We are looking for people who can be fully themselves—not people forcing a reality-TV character.
Who should apply
You do not need a huge social following or television experience. Authenticity, chemistry, story, and professionalism matter most.
How casting works
Applying is consideration—not a guarantee of selection, employment, screen time, or compensation.
Tell us who you are, what you are looking for, and why viewers should remember you.
Selected applicants meet the Ill Intent casting team for a short video conversation.
Strong candidates are organized into episode-specific slates for Jenny and DETT.
DETT makes the final selection and provides production terms and paperwork.
Official application
The application takes approximately 8–10 minutes and includes a 45–60 second vertical introduction video. Final eligibility, filming dates, compensation, travel, and production terms will be provided before selected applicants confirm participation.
Casting safety
Official casting will never require payment, gift cards, purchases, banking information, or a Social Security number. Do not send identity documents through social media or email unless an authorized production representative provides a secure method and explains why they are required.
Application information is reviewed only for casting and production purposes by authorized Ill Intent, Jenny Portillo, and DETT decision-makers. An application is not an appearance release. Applicant information is not sold and is retained only as needed for current casting—or future opportunities when the applicant separately opts in.
