I am not a person who judges people by their looks, but those diseased, dangling teeth are hideous. And who gives her (Penny?) the right to dictate to others that they should do community service before they get their $50,000.
Ugh.
I only saw the beginning and the last 15 minutes of tonight's show, but I felt very sorry for the blond lady from Scottsdale, tossed into that dump of a house.
I live in a community of old hippies, small farmers and back-to-the-landers and none of them behave that way. I think she would be creepy in any situation, in any country, in any time period. Her pretense at caring for the earth is BS. Really bad vibes.

I think she was angry and wanted to get back at the Husband. The man was awful and didnt even try. The wife was a bootlicker and the Traded wife didnt have any backbone either. Going outside to cry because she wasnt able to 'lecture' the father into admitting his faults was childish.

She should have been ready with her own LIST of his issues.

Those people were Rich and the kids had everything that they could use. I dont blame the strange lady for making the money come with a price/duty. The family didnt really try to do the experiment fully, they were just going thru the motions.

I am glad that they are now FORCED to do a fun, noncompetitive outdoor activity as a family. The youngest boy will thrive in the outdoors and maybe the father will Back off and relax if He is forced to. LOL

Hey anyone?? IS this the first time that there was not a week later Update? The show ended once the moms got back. From the look of it I'd say the Rich mom has gone right back to not daring to speak up against her aggressive husband.

Bet that kid was made to go to school the next day...regardless of what the mom said when on camera LOL

((On a positive note, I thought the eccentric lady was edited much better this episode. How wonderful for her that she found a guy as accepting and loving as her husband. Her son seemed great too))

I don't know if I would say this family was rich. I know many people who live life to the fullest and are all on borrowed debts. I was once accused of holding my family back because of my dislike for debt, because our friends had so much more "stuff".

Having and owning are two different things. Of course, if there is plenty of money, what would these people care. I can't justify this woman's choice, but I do not know how much input the producers had and/or if things were not shown.

I agree. There is a huge difference between having a large income (available cash) or owning Property & business franchises which are worth lots ON PAPER (not liquidated)

Was this the first time the new husband purposely got the new mom drunk. LOL I’d be lapping it up too. ;)

That was a rude etiquette coach .

Yes she was, it was ridiculous how she was talking to the new mom.
The mom that went to the drunken Englishmen's, I missed what happened after she hurt her finger. Was it really hurt? Or was she complaining about nothing?
Next week looks good.

It looked like a very minor injury...still the faux husband should have taken a time out to give a look see..instead of going on with that hideous laugh that he has. Still I thought he was fun/funny.

My DH was very excited to see the Englishman, Mr. Welsh. The Welsh corrridors (?), is very famous amoung SiFi readers. He said he's read about them for the last 15 or so years.

I thought both wives were such drags. I was especially surprised by the Englishwoman (Sheila?). She seemed like loads of fun with her own family, and very uptight with the new one. I think she was very disappointed she didn't get to travel further.

I would have had a blast with the English guy, I thought he was hilarious. Although I would have been amused but also a little mortified by his antics with the belly dancer.

the etiquette coach probably thought she would drum up some business after appearing on this show. i think she's a total wacko and probably will lose some people after this show! i think she was much more than a 'peripheral' character in this episode and had too much to say...what a snob. i'd rather sit on the couch and stuff my mouth with nachos and beer for dinner than have someone sit and criticize everything i do. and i know my dh would have freaked had he seen how she had them take their forks to their mouth in the upside down position. he can't stand pretentiousness. imagine what that lady gets paid, too. wow! not something i'd want to spend my money on.

and, by the way, wouldn't an 'etiquette' expert know not to have certain discussions at the table and not put guests on the spot during dinner?
i thought she was pure evil. but it gave me something to laugh at, so i guess that's a good trade-off!
it was strange to have them only go two counties away from their own homes. seeing them taking BART made me laugh!
