As the newly appointed Postmaster of Yemassee SC, Jo Dyke
was asked to participate in a daring social experiment which removed the women
from one American town in the program, The Week the Women Went, which premiered
August 15 at 10pm ET/PT on the Lifetime channel.
According to Dyke, the producer wanted to have as many
businesswomen from the town as possible and she was an “extra”, not one of the
main characters.
The town had been selected from almost 100 towns to be
filmed. The women went on a week’s vacation to Amelia Island, and there were
film crews filming the group of woeman that week and the main character’s
families back in Yemassee.
"The show was a wonderful experience for me. I met
many women from the community that I may not have met otherwise," Dyke
said. Since the show was filmed last August, Dyke has moved to Yemassee.
"I had no idea how the show will turn out, but if asked to do it again, I
would say YES!" Dyke said.
The show is narrated by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, and
produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. The five episode, one-hour unscripted
series explores modern gender roles and finds out what happens when all of the
women leave town, leaving the remaining men to run their households, businesses
and community on their own.
