I really enjoyed the vegan lady. It was great that she was willing to expand her boundaries and taste the croc meat despite her views against it. Thank heavens she was willing to adapt like that! I'm glad she kept wearing natural fibers throughout her ordeal, though.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who picked up on that, when the vegan mother started smoking. i really did not like her very much. i know i couldn't go into someone else's house, let alone try to discipline their kids. do you think her hubby might leave her now that she's gone to the dark side and ate meat? :-).

I trust that her husband was understanding of her--after all, she really had no choice! I suspect she was weakened by a combination of several of the following factors:
1. Intense humidity, which we don't have in SoCal
2. Inability to understand the accent
3. The buzz from the cheap chardonnay
4. A weakness for fried foods no amount of tofu can satisfy
5. Stockholm Syndrome
6. The haze coming in from the bayou
7. Linda Rondstdt's voice resonating in her head singing;
I’m going back some day come what may to blue bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I’d be
I think that explains it all.

I read that Cali moms firends "disowned" her after the show right?
SUPPOSEDLY it was said to be because she ate the croc, however, i really think it is because they saw that she is a lunatic.
If I had a friend in my circles that I saw behaved that way toward other human beings (or a beloved pet), I would certainly ask myself If that "friendship" was worth it -I would always wonder when the shoe is going to fall.

How could hoping the husband divorcing the crazy mom before it mentally screws up their kids permanently be a terrible thing? Oh, unless you mean, when he divorces her, she gets to keep the kids.

I guess we could hope the vegan mom will recognize her behavior was terrible and make the necessary changes. Maybe if her husband grew some balls and told her how things were going to change.

Kimmy, you are confusing me. I hope the guy divorces her and takes the kids.

Julie, read the last post from jennabeesmommy and then the following post. Hopefully, that will clarify.

I suppose my position is that divorce is a terrible thing to hope for. I am no great fan of the vegan woman as the show presented her, but it is my hope that she change her behavior, either on her own or through therapy or something if her behavior is in fact as the show presented her. That, to me, would be preferable to divorce. I suppose, too, I might be missing how her rather extravagant behavior is detrimental to her kids. I'm not saying it's not, but....

They didn't magically create all that footage of her being a @#%$&. She actually acted that way. Sometimes they can edit it enough to make someone look bad, but even that magic of editing couldn't create that witch.

Tish, did you see how bad she made Lucy feel at he end? That was heartless and cruel (immature and selfish as well) and no amount of editing could change that...

Honestly Julie, I'm not sure I remember, but I don't disbelieve you. I think I may have walked out of the room in disgust when she was crying about something or another. In my unprofessional opinion, the vegan mom could use some therapy, like many people, to work on some problems she seems to have.

I'm with ya there Tishala, she could use some therapy for sure. (Then again, who couldn't!)

Some people should just not be married. It's not a terrible thing to hope for if it's for the best. If you ask a lot of divorced people, or their children, for that matter, they'd say it's a shame they didn't do it sooner. My parents are divorced and we all would've been a lot happier if they'd done it 10 years sooner.

Julie - If they got divorced and she got to keep the kids, then that would be a terrible thing to hope for.

Kimmy: oh yeah, that would for sure be more terrible than if they stayed together.

Oh, now I re-re-read your post and I get it! Boy, my brain must have been foggy yesterday--sorry about that. I was not following your train of thought.

The Cajun & vegan swap was my favourite show!

Drago was a very caring considerate father and I loved his long hair and accent.

The vegan mother was incredibly hypocritical...spouting off about a healthy lifestyle and she smokes.

Plus, she looked like she could stand to lose a few pounds. How can your hips be that big on lettuce and tofu?

It would be interesting to see an update. I'd love to see a psychiatrist watch that show with her...

We're going on the swamp tour the last week of July at Diana and Diego's place. I can't wait to ask if she's heard from the vegan lady since the show originally aired.
