I watched this for the first time tonight. I missed the first half hour but from what I saw I was ready to jump into the t.v. Did anyone see this tonight? Did I miss anything in the first half that would explain why the farmer had rules given to him or why the swapped wife(the one with the farmer) thought she was queen of the castle?

LittleC, first week is wife has to abide by house rules. Second week wife dictates the rules. So the first week the queen was shoveling cow manure beginning at 5 a.m.

Chieko, the <#1> wife went to a farm in upstate NY. They have 150 milk cows, and the first half she had to help in the barn. She spent more time putting on makeup than helping. (Like the cows care.)

Then she wanted to do the milking instead of shoveling manure, and didn't get it that if it's not done properly, the cows teats can get infected, and that's a real mess.

Then in the second half, her rules were that the kids couldn't work in the barn. This poor guy was supposed to take care of 150 cows, do all the housework, bring her breakfast in bed, and on and on.

He was out crying from exhaustion in the barn, and finally his kids just broke the rules and went in the barn to help.

The farmer wife got <#1> wife's kids to help around the house and to help their father clean out the garage. She also had them work for a day to make their own money. They liked it!

Snooty wife's husband finally got a backbone. Duh--it's really not fair for a guy to work 60 hours and do all the housework while all Mrs. Snooty did was to lie in bed and go shopping.

Mr. Farmer was glad to get rid of Mrs. Snooty, but Mr. Snooty enjoyed having Mrs. Farmer.

It was just amazing, IMO.

Puzzled, good recap! <#1> (Christy) was maybe the most unlikeable "contestant" to date, on either WS or TS.

I could not believe she was making Jeff (Mr. Farmer) get her a napkin and then salt after he makes a homecooked b-fast for her after 8 hrs. in the barn...

I loved this show and personally was hoping Christy would fall face first in the manure and get her snooty full of what IMO is what she is full of.

By the way... what was with the earrings at the end?? She reminded me of the FTD man.

Christy still seemed so clueless even at the end. She was from upstate NY? She had a more southern accent than me! LOL Heck, they all did.

I agree, Julieboo, this woman was just unbelievable. Yes, that napkin and salt thing was too much.

Snooty wife is from Tennessee. The farmers are from upstate NY.

No, Christy was from near Memphis, TN. The other family was from NY.

Yeah, Tero, I couldn't believe those ear things. Can we even call them earring? Was it halloween?

Snort...hold in her brain cells..

I must say that I am really getting annoyed at these "southern" ladies. First we had the iron maiden from SC and now this one from Tenn. I mean, can't they find some true southern women with class?

I like the fact that usually the "poor" family is the one that really makes an impression on the others by showing them that family is more important than things.
sniff-sniff...Makes me proud to be a poor-old-workin'-man(woman)!

Hockey?? is that the one where they all skate around with no teeth and hit eachother with sticks??

Seriously - it just reminded me of the weird white earrings that the snooty lady was wearing.

I missed someone of the show.

Can anyone answer a few questions?

What was that thing that the snooty woman found in the farm family's bathroom that grossed her out so much she had to go wash her hands? (It seemed she was asking the camerperson or someone what it was.) She said she couldn't touch it, as she was holding it in disgust, I think.

I saw one of the twins decided to take the bus after all. Did they show what happened with the other...did she also ride the bus?

I missed the spouses' reunions and the 2 couples talking/debriefing. Was there anything interesting said? My hubby said something about one of the twins walking out mad at her mom about the way she treated her dad. He didn't see much else.

I liked the look one of the girls gave the camera, just before (THE HORROR!!) of getting on the school bus.

What she found was an inseminator. It was in the refrigerator.

I was impressed with <Christy's> willingness to work in the barn. But I can't beleive she really thought all men treated their wives like her's does?! What world is she living in? She has no idea it's usually the exact opposite where the wife does more than the husband. Her and her daughters were SO spoiled and the dad was a doormat.

It's too bad the snooty mom couldn't have hired a helping hand for the farm to give the kids a break. Hopefully they are on a rotating shift now where they get a few days off. What a hard life they lead!

I was glad to see both families seem to learn something about themselves and embrace some change. I thought it was a good episode.
