Didn't anyone watch the second half of this last night? My dvr didn't record it and I've been anxious to hear what everyone thought of the resolution. Give us the horrible details!

Last night was the one on ABC not the one on Fox. The lady who freaks out is on Wednesday. Last nights was ok but not anything that really grabbed me other than the hippy husband looking like he could be the woman's child. I didn't catch if it was a second marriage or not.

My co-worker watched Wife Swap last night and wants to know if everybody else thought that was the weirdest couple in the world...(the hippie couple). She agrees that the hippy husband looked like the child of the woman.

People who don't take showers? Shave? She's telling me about it and I'm cringing here!

And was their son a girl or a boy? Did anybody else have trouble telling?

And what was up with the husband's skirt?

Sorry I missed it!

I really liked last night's show. Its nice to see that the hippy family did change some of their ideas...and realized they could work and still live up to their own ideals.

I thought it was cool that they both got jobs as artist models...

I felt really bad for the hippy child... he thought he had this wonderful life, he has no clue on what he's missing out on. I loved his response to the other kids in the acting class... he thought he would be such an outcast, but the other kids really seemed to enjoy him.

I also enjoyed the older daughter in the rich family. She was instrumental in getting her dad to see how much he needed to help the mom and not treat her so much like a work horse...

I thought last nights show, while very extreme, was quite good...

I really liked the "hippy couple" and not so much the Soprano family. What was up with the Soprano husband's inability to do ANYTHING around the house? To be so disrespectful as to blow an airhorn while their guest is trying to sleep? To have raised children that self-involved and petulant...so much so that their mother, who wasn't even around, had to apologize for their behavior? That speaks volumes about the values they are learning.

It's a shame that people who care about the environment are treated like their beliefs are "kooky" and that men with completely retro, chauvenistic ideas about women are treated as if they are normal. But that's to be expected, I guess.

The funniest part for me was when Soprano dad was getting ready to go out and he was putting on cologne. He sprayed himself around his neck--I counted!--32 times. 32 squirts of cologne? Yikes.

It was instructive that the Soprano family, by the show's account, changed significantly more after the swap than the "hippy" family did. They certainly needed to.

Its amazing how people can watch the same show and have two completely different views on it. I was so repulsed by the hippie couple. Their lack of cleanliness around the house, lack of personal hygiene (including not shaving), digging in dumpsters - I am sorry but that was absolutely gross.

But... on the very upside of this show as well as Trading Spouses, it never ceases to amaze me that when I am watching these two shows, I am thinking that no good can come out of this or that particular swap. Yet, every week I am amazed that both families come out of it with something they learned from their extreme opposite family. Somehow, I don't think that will happen on this Wednesday's episode of Trading Spouses.

I frankly didn't care for either couple. It seems like they try to find every possible stereotype to be on this show.

I missed the beginning of Wife Swap and when I turned it on, I thought Hippie dad was her son!. Do we know the ages of Hippie dad and mom?

Her son was 12? Yipes, I hope that was from a previous relationship. Her husband would have been 12 when the son was born!

Poor Brooke (aka Cinderella). I hope curlyhair mom can help her stand up for herself. Margaret (Margaruite?) -- wow. So sad that she is so convinced that she is "right" and yet she is so hardheaded. (to say the least.)

I think Margaret is odd as a cod. She has got to be the most unusual (in a bad way) character that I have seen on either WifeSwap or Trading Spouses. I will leave it at that.

The woman Margaret is in desperate need of medical help and thank GOD ;) she's getting that bypass surgery. She breathed heavily throughout the show by simply walking. Why hasn't god mentioned to his good friend, Margaret that she's abusing the mortal body he gave her.

I felt so sorry for her entire family. They need to get far away from her.

I am totally appalled by Margaret. She scared the heck out her kids. It seemed to me like the only time she started to calm down was when she finally had the kids in tears... Really bizarre

oh my word. That woman acts so crazy! I can not believe it! Someone please get in there and save those children (and her husband)

I see that she decided to take the money afterall...I hope those girls took their share and got out on their own.

Anyone think that Margaret has some type of mental problem (seriously)?
