trading spouses

I think its great how fox matches these families up. Its always polar opposites. rich-poor, jew-chrisitan, vegan-meat eater. But one thing I've noticed is that in every instance except one (maybe 2) it has always been some crazy mom from california trading places with someone from the rest of the country. What gives? There sure are a lot of nuts out there.

Nanny 911 is much MUCH better. You'll want to rip out your reproductive system for fear of having devil spawn like the children shown

/end thread jack

I like Trading Spouses, but Wife Swap is much better. At least the families seem to learn something from it. Trading Spouses is all about those polar opposites living together for one week, and then deciding on how your new family should spend the $50,000. Its just disaster. On Wife Swap, they swap for 2 weeks, the first week the new moms (or husbands) live by the old rules, and the 2nd week it's the new moms (husbands) rules. The families seem to learn things from it. (Oh, I'm sure they get money too though..)

I personally hate all these type of shows. Trading spouses is better, but not by much. I watched a couple of episodes just to see the train wrecks, and I won't watch anymore.

I like nanny911, Those kids are pure evil. And I've only seen 2 episodes of wife swap (I liked it better than trading spouses) when is it on? I know it's on ABC.

Im not really sure if i watched wife swap or trading spouses, but ive seen a couple and im just tired of seeing these really stupid materialistic rich women. The show really shows how shallow some people are. Its not really just the women though, some of the men trading places are real douche bags too.

I watch it every week and it's the only other "reality" show that I watch other than Amazing Race and I cringe at some of the oddness going on in this world. The last vegan lady made me want to rip her eyes out. Meat is bad for you...it causes cancer...you will die...it's cruel...but watch me as I abuse the dog for peeing in the house and watch as I smoke and drink myself into an early grave!

I'm waiting for them to start trading the male spouses; so far, it's only been the female spouses who have traded places.

You have to hand it to the editors. There is no way in hell that those heathens make a complete 180 that quickly.

ive only seen one trading spouses 2 part
and that was the most recent vegan/cajun one.
I couldnt believe how much of a bitch that vegan was.
she made the rules for both houses (or tried for the other family)
broke them all and then decided to cry when things dont go her way. Its no wonder no one said bye to her either time.
And her husband was whipped and it was so sad that he was pissed she ate alligator and she just shrugged it off after depriving all those poor people from meat.

Check out tonight's episode of Wife Swap. It has the men swaping places. They have done this once before I believe. I love this show. Wife Swap is so much better than Trading Spouses to me because you see what happens in one episode vs having to wait the next week to get the finale.

Darnit, I missed tonight's episode. Would have loved to see a husband swap. Is a recap worthwhile?

BTW: Lockjaw - yeah, creative editing can make one believe that a miraculous transformation took place, but ya gotta admit that some inroads were made in the behavior of those hellions and their poor excuses for parents.

Amen!

Anyways, I really hate these shows. I never make it to the end when they decide what to do with the money. I wonder if any were really evil with it, like saying they have to donate the money to some church or something.

That last vegan lady sent the cajun's firts 3000 to charity. Man that lady was a total bitch. I hope she gets ostracized from her vegan friends for eating alligator meat. I hope she gets hit by a bus and spends the next year in intensive care.

Ok. It was fine until you mentioned getting hit by a bus. Wow, you must have really not liked her.

In England we call it Wife Swap!



And I must admit, as tawdry and mind numbing it is, I do watch it quite a bit, a guilty pleasure!

They have the same thing here. They are two different shows. Love them both. Wife swap a little more I think.

Wife Swap was on CTV in Canada on Friday night, I too watch it quite a bit, the rich family this week was just so wrong, they scheduled 1 hour a day to spend time with their kids, other than that it was 4 nannies looking after the kids and the parents never saw them

The kids were all sad when the Cajun lady ordered fish...is it wrong that I laughed?

I've only seen Trading Spouses a couple times...I'm not a fan of "reality" TV, but I'm guilty of getting sucked in every now and then.

It seems like the whole point of the show is to live life in someone else's shoes...but then the ones swapped just...don't. (well, okay, the REAL point is to show you all the conflict and drama, but yeah.)

Like the Christian/Jewish swap...the Christian husband offered to go to synagogue on Saturday, and invited her to church on Sunday. Nope.

Like I said. Some crazy family from cal gets switched with some half way normal family from somewhere else. like tennessee. What the hell is up with these nut-jobs from california this time? they dont wear shoes or own furnature, but they speak chinese fluently because papa thinks the chinese will rule the world in the next century? is that the 21st or 22nd century? I think I know what the new mom is going to spent the 50grand on. How about some furnature, a TV, some shoes, and a shower curtain.

Why are all the freaks on this show from california? maybe someone from out west can answer this. Is it that you guys have a higher concentration of wackos than the other 49 states or do they just rise to the top out there for some reason? What do you guys do about it? do you have parts of the city where you don't go because thats where all the crazies live? Or does fox just do a really good job at finding the few extremely crazy people out there. I don't know. It does make for some good television though.

The last episode, both families were from Colorado. It was pretty good
