Willwill, one thread is easier, cuz with 2 threads, people post in the wrong one all the time. (We had two threads before.) It doesn't really matter, people can figure out what family/person other posters are talking about pretty easily.

I think 1 thread sucks cause talking bout the 2 different shows in the same place is confusing.

Julie, if you read the title of the thread,it should be easy to figure out which show is which.

Two threads, one thread, not really that big a deal to me. But it always ends up that people start posting in the "wrong" thread.

Seems to me it's the same show anyways. Aside from the money aspect, is there really any difference?

It is a fact that after as little as four days with no sleep a person can go into clinical psychosis.

This woman said she hadnt slept in 'that' dark house for the two weeks. She looked exhausted and hysterical...and was horribly jealous that her family liked the other mom.

I feel bad for this lady. I'd love an update on her now after she saw the show LOL

Sunshyne - She was on Jay Leno & I saw her filming something else recently. She seems to be reveling in her infamy - lol.

Does anyone remember the Wife Swap family from Louisiana? I can't stop thinking of them.
Anyone know their names?

Their company was called Zam's Swamp Tours and they were named Diana, Diego and ZZ Loupe. You can do a google search for them in Thibodeaux, Louisiana

Poor Clyde.

That was just so wrong...not telling her about Clyde right off the bat.

My grandmother (we are Native Americans, Senecas) had a farm and occaisonally slaughtered a chicken to eat but we knew that happened and did not name them. No real animal handler would ever eat an animal that died any other way than through specific slaughter. Those people are not real "people of the land" they are people NOT raised on the land trying to figure it out as adults and in isolation (not part of a farming or nature community).

Due to snow our satellite dish went out half way through the show. Was Clyde accidentally killed and is this show to be continued next week?

Personally, I thought that part that shocked her the most was that she was eating road kill - Hee.

Hey, waste not want not. I thought the thingthe husband was telling her was to make her not feel bad about his dying - he was bumped from the rear. just enough to kill him. - In other words, it was a quick death and he did not suffer, but it also did not damage the meat, jsut tenderize it a little.

I am not sure how much in isolation these people are, I gues I should go and look at any information on the web site.

This was one of the funniest swaps I've seen. I'll never forget the earth dad telling the AZ mom, "We're going to take the material that we got from the hippies and turn it into giant nut bags". I can't wait to see how this one ends and if earth mom ever finds her letter.

I agree completely. In a matter of fact I am trying to figure out how they grow anything at all there. I didnt see any fields or farming/gardening plots at all.

As for eating the roadkill Turkey, I guffawed. The guy seemed to be cheerful sounding when he told the lady WHO and what she ate for dinner. I truly feel that they 'did it for the show'.

As someone who was raised on a farm, I can assure people....we didnt eat the pets.

********

On a final note, I found this swap disturbing. The one family are very well to do, the other family are wacked out weirdos. WHO asks a stranger to take off his shoes in an airport pickup area?? To force the family to do that strange (unhygenic) barefoot thing was off the scale bizarre.

To go on about sexual stuff with the dad in the gym was also amazingly bizarre. That woman doesnt seem right in the head. She really does seem very slightly 'challenged'. her gait and facial features makes this a likely possibility.

This doesnt make her an uncaring person....and I think she will do good for the younger son in the rich family.

Sun... I am so with you on this being a disturbing episode regarding the "Land" mother. I also thought she might be slightly "challenged." I agree with you that her wanting the Arizona husband to go barefoot was "off the scale bizarre." Did you catch when Arizona husband asked her where she was from and she said that she didn't want to share that information, then she's talking all that sexxin' talk to the husband at the gym? And what about when she was in the locker room with the hockey team? I cringed watching Arizona son's embarrassment. It was painful to watch.

If you google Penny Frazier (heck, I was curious), it seems like she and her husband are very involved in their community. I think she may be very crafty in the promotion of her business. It's the weird, oddball types that people do online searches on and increase hits on the websites. I googled Penny, Marguerite, and that alligator-eatin' vegan because they piqued my interest. The others I forgot about. Of course, Penny could just be very eccentric. But from what I've read, she doesn't seem "challenged". Before she met George she was a paralegal for a "top law firm" in Las Vegas.

The Clyde thing bothered me. It may be hypocritical, as I'm a meat-eater, but I could never eat anything I've seen killed, let alone my pet.

Wow, maybe she is just 'socially' challenged. Mind you, if I recall the show said that she met her husband in Vegas and they showed pics of her when she looked around 23 yrs old or so. Actually, the pics were weird too. LOL

strange poses etc.

Wonder if a bad trip at the paralegal convention lead to her present life filled with sexual innuendo, foot fetish greetings and pine nut journey?

I watched this and was reminded of a time when a niebor came to my door and was in a bind, shes a single mom(as am I) and had an emergancy and needed someone to watch and stay at her home for 6 days while she took care of things, she needed me to watch her 3 children,get them to school and whatever, she was desperate and I felt that I couldnt say no. she told me I could sleep in her room and seemed so desperate.. when I got there that night to do this favor...I could have died, the house was the worsed thing I had ever seen, it was filthy, dishes toppeling over the sink, the stove was bubbeling with groddy food and the house smelled so bad...I felt sick the min I entered the place. when I went to the room where I was to sleep, the smell alone made me gag. The bed was filthy and old food was laying on dressers and OHHHH I cant even describe how I felt. I was stuck. It was the worsed week ever..From the looks of her I would have never thought this about her. When I watched this show the other night, I seriously felt sick for the poor blond lady, when I saw her looking at the bed and sheets she had to sleep in, It mad me ill and made me remember that experiance.. This episode bothered me so much, I couldnt have compleated it, and if they fed me rode kill, Im not sure what I would have done...but it would not have been nice...law suit comes to mind..sick show this one...
