TV: Trading Spouses

[ChemicalBeauty]

Don't ask me why i tivo'd this you bitches.

But man, I feel SO bad for the daughter of the rockers ... poor little thing. Fuck that toofless dad and the mom who says her daughter is "betraying her" for asking for support.

The dad that was actually a decent guy cracked me up, though.

The next one looks pretty crazy with the suburbia mom in Harlem. Harlem!

I will promptly delete this thread if it get's no replies. Which would of course indicate that i'm the only looser on BL that actually watched this. :D

Lol i watch this once a week, altho i rarely finish the episode there is also another show called WIFE SWAP (its on local cable so i dont remember what network it is on in the states?) anyway its a bit racier and more WHITE TRASH than Trading Spouses

it's so funny this thread popped up now- this week was the first episode of this show that i ever saw.

it's so funny how the kids of the poorer, less perfect family are so much happier than the kids of the 'perfect' family were. it was so obvious that whole skiing thing was the dad's dream, not the son's. and that dad was so pissed that all the money went to the kids and none went to him.

i think the whole idea of this show is fucked up. this show is fine for teenaged kids and the husbands- they understand what's going on. but what about little kids? their mom is gone for a whole week and now some other chick, who's completely different from their mom, and they have to put up with her for a whole week, while they're missing their mom? hmm... that's gotta be hard for a little kid.

I've watched "Wife Swap" a couple of times, and admit it's a guilty pleasure. Haven't seen "Trading Spouses" yet, though.

^^^I love that episode where this reallly rich spoiled bitch of a wife trades places with a farmers wife. LOL. The one who insisted on wearing a pink feather boa before (attempting) to milk the cows....and insisted her new husband give her breakfast in bed aside from all his other chores . And the poor man ended up crying to the camera , saying he "couldnt take this anymore"
LORD THAT EPISODE WAS F*CKIN WILD

As long as people are still having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I'll be sound as a pound! yeah, baby.

Its YOU people that are the problem. If you didn't watch this utter shit, they wouldn't keep airing it! Gaaaaah I hate reality TV. I can deal with survivor, it was original then, but this has really gotten out of hand. We've created a monster, and we should destroy it before it grows too powerful and eats all of our souls.

/end reality tv rant

My boyfriend and I loved wife swap last year, but we havent seen Trading Spouses (and I doubt we will) except for that crazy fat jesus freak lady screaming about the devil and ripping up the check.

Regardless, I would never be one of these shows, I haven't the ax to grind.

Haha I actually enjoyed todays episode....upper class half Amerasian family (japanese husband, southern wife) exchange places with a lower middle class black family.
The black wife totally ENJOYED her stay in the huge house, got along fantastic with the Nana (husbands mom) , and two kids and even got to spend quality time in their lake vacation house. The other mother sort of didnt have such a good time tho, she insisted that the sons (and dad) cook for her (and she didnt want fried chicken) , make her REAL percolated coffee every day , and had one of the younger sons stand by the electric box as she blowdried her hair (because the electricity kept flickering.)And she kept lecturing (albeit nicely) the overweight daughter about the importance of counting carbs every meal time. (suffice to say, they were all OBESE.)
Hilarious. Entertaining. Not too annoying.
