It's days later and I'm still laughing at her. Cablejockey was right, she will probably blame it on the editing. Wonder what the Florida neighbors are thinking. I wish I had taped it. But there will be more on Fri night. I was waiting for the kids to cook up that chicken and tell her what it was after she ate the Chicken Marsalla.

I am curious about what the young farm girl is referring to when she says "I can't believe it was all a lie!"

Maybe the big lie was that Anne Marie is fluent in French...

Anne Marie is on par with the vegetarian, last season, who swapped with the Cajun lady. That one was truly memorable, too!

If you can get the Reality Channel (250 on DirecTV) Kennedy (if you can stomach her for a half hour) usually has a good recap of the reality shows. She STILL goes on and on with the "God Warrior". I rewatched this today to send the tape to someone, and I laughed just as hard, but I also put myself in AM place, and I was SO embarrassed for her!! I can't wait till Friday!!

ETA...OOPS!! The name of the show is Reality Remix.

I have a question about the Trading Spouses episode where Lynne went to Harlem and Octavia went to Massachusetts.

Lynne's division of the $50,000 was $10K each towards education expenses for each of the 3 sons and $9700 education expenses to the daughter. Since this only added up to $39,700, anybody wonder why she didn't divvy out the whole $50K?

And why $9700 instead of $10K to the daughter?

Anyone else want to wring Ann Marie's neck??

Her behaviour at the face to face meeting was mean. Laughing in the lady's face??

I couldnt believe her laughing and mocking the way the other woman doled out the $50,000. I loved the way the lady wrote out that ROB had to spend the $10,000 on himself NOT Ann Marie. That poor man. He isnt that bad looking and I figure with a makeover he'd be a real hottie (for us ladies who like nerdy guys)

Those two have nothing in common. He'll never leave her but if he even lost his job I'd expect her to run for the hills. NO meal ticket she'll be gone.

PS. Anyone besides me thought Rob was an absolute riot with his Spock ears and Star trek uniform>>?? sigh...whatta man!

I read on another board that Rob and Ann Marie are separated (big surprise ...) and he lives nearby. There is also a suggestion that they were separated long before the TV show, but perhaps the producers didn't know it. I hope Rob gets his trip to Iceland ... I understand it's a wonderful place to visit.

I'm never happy to hear about a family breaking up but in this case I'm thrilled. Ann Marie showed NO love toward her husband.

Rob is a weird sorta fellow eating pb&j for every meal but I find him oddly sexy and bet he's a good ahem partner in the love making dept.

Ann Marie gave new meaning to the word "clueless." Some people eventually "get it" but she's not one of them - she will never "get it." I also loved how when the money was being doled out that Reagan was specific that the money not be spent on Ann Marie.

I was a little sad when Rob put out the two chairs on the lawn and Ann Marie didn't even "get it" to go sit down and talk with him. Rob is much better off without her.

I can't help but think that Ann Marie got the bad edit in this show. I Can actually say something positive about her, so that shows you how much work the edit had to be.
Positive Ann Marie stuff - She pretty much let the family use the money in a general way, as opposed to the "control freak" version of Raegan where every single dollar was accounted for. She smiled while the camera was on her, no rant when the insults in the money designation was read over and over - don't give the money to Ann Marie. She does have a job, which sort of explains why she had a maid (wish I did). The children really missed her, so she must have a good side as a mother.

If they were separated, it would explain a lot of the behavior and pictures and comments and why she goes out with single friends and why she goes on vacation without her husband. It would also explain why she would laugh while Raegan went on and on about her not connecting to her husband. I can see where it would be wearing living with a hermit crab as a husband as he seemed to be. I expect they were in a different place when they got married. Sometimes behavior gets more extreme over time. His being an atheist and Ann Marie going to church several nights a week and proselytizing to her students randomly (will not put in political remark, although it screams to be in this sentence), I could see how they are not compatible. I guess sense over came passion eventually. Not every marriage should be saved, sometimes it is better for the children if the parents could part as friends, rather than dragging it out trying to save it.

Negative Ann Marie stuff - ELECTRIC SLIDE??? please, escape from the time capsule the has you captured. The leather skin, the white blonde hair and the electrc slide are so over! Her husband on the other hand is a natural for big brother with the tolerance for PB&J. Now if he would take his star trek ears, he might even make that show interesting again.

Raegan negative - not tactful, tends to belabor her points and is eager to "balance the scales" with her distribution without knowing the whole story, just from the clues she picks up at the house. I didn't really see her connect that much with the children, what did she try and do with them besides the last day party (which I suspect is required by the show anyway)? Mostly we saw her sitting around trying to talk to Rob, not trying to have any connection with the life or household. She is judgemental as Ann Marie, just in a different way, more as an observer, than as a participant. I think it was very telling that in the first half, it was stated that the children did not want to change the furniture because it would upset the mother - very controlling.

Raegan positive stuff - she was not disruptive and seemed to be attatched to the children. She seems very close to her own family and way of life.

oddly sexy Lilfair, you liked his Star Trek gear too??

Actually, it was the shaving scene that got me going that and the excitement over the Theoretical Algebra book. I love discussions like that.

Jodied, my local schedule (Colorado, which is Mountain Time) is showing a new episode of Wife Swap tonight at 7pm. Maybe something is going on in your location to pre-empt it? I know when Monday Night Football was on, it was pre-empted here till something like 1am each week.

Jodied, I'll swap with you. I have two cats. I am sure after you spend a week with my perfect girlie Brat Cats, you will tell me at our meeting that I spoil them too much, they tricked you into giving them fresh catnip and cat grass four times a day and that they don't need over 70 toys to play with, etc., etc....

Well, Jodie, we've got 5 cats and two of them break out in a fight about once a week. Maybe you could figure out why, while I love and pet your kitties.

Oh, wait a minute--would that be for wife swap or a nanny show?
