Oh right, his name is Diego...why do I wanna keep calling him Drago? 'Cos the 'gators kinda look like dragons maybe.

Kimmy...you lucky, lucky person you. Visiting there is something I've added to my wish list.

Have a fabulous time and please let us know all about it when you get back!:-)

I got an e mail back from Diana telling me where to stay, how far away it is, etc. She seems very nice. Thanks, Ruperbear. I've never gotten dh away from the Shreveport casinos long enough to make it that far south and I'm really looking forward to it.

After reading all of your comments, I have changed my mind about ZZ. You are probably right in that this is his natural flamboyant way (his nature). I especially liked Diego, because he was so easy going and really likeable. You could tell how much he and his wife loved each other. I also like the way they talk. I would love to hear more about them.

Is this show on throughout the year? I would be interested to see how other people act in different situations.

One more thought- I would not be able to stand having the vegan lady for a neighbor. She would drive me out of my mind. She does act snooty, like she is so much better than everyone else.

I think I may have turned people off about my comments, but I do have a right to my opinion. I did do a turn-a-round on the young boy.
This last one I have watched has turned my stomach. I think that the white man is solely dependent on his wife, and he is afraid that his kids may leave him. I agree with Vickie. The man is full of S...t!! If he cared so much about his sons, he would be happy to see them explore a life beyond what they are living. He does not want them to leave at all, so I find that to be selfish on his part. That whole family is weird!!
I loved the black lady's family and her. She was so easy going and full of life and fun. I would love to be her neighbor! She is just plain fun, and at the same time, very caring about people. She wanted to see the young boys explore and have a normal life. What they were experiencing was not a normal life for kids their age, and she knew it. I really liked her. She tried so hard to show the boys about outside life. I think they have been brainwashed by their father, and the Mother is not smart enough to see through the Father's manipulation. It is a sorry state. His excuses are feeble at the least. His mind is so very warped, and it is a shame that his kids are victims of this screwed up mentality. I loved the other couple and their children. NORMAL, everyday people!

Zeno, I don't think the lack of posts here is cuz of your comments. It's cuz there are no new episodes (most of these episodes were already discussed) and most of all BIG BROTHER has taken over the board!!! :-)

Yeah, I've noticed a drop-off in posts elsewhere on this site as well. I guess most members are still hooked on Big Brother.

Unfortunately, I missed all but the last 15 minutes of this last episode. That man with the beard struck me more as frightened than anything else. He sees the world as a scary place, and doesn't believe his sons could find happiness in it. It's nice that the boys love and respect their parents so much, but I'm glad the older one did seem to have a mind of his own as well. I'm sure he'll be able to strike a balance between maintaining respect and finding his own way.

Can you imagine two teenage boys sleeping in the same room as their parents all that time? Wow. It was a little weird how the father just automatically refused to entertain the idea of giving them their own room. What on earth is he afraid would happen with that? It was funny when the mother said she was going to buy a mattress.

This was a rerun that I had seen before but I did stop at it for a few minutes. It is appalling the way those boys are being raised. Sleeping in the same room with their parents and NO SHOES! What are those parents thinking???? They are in no way preparing the boys for the real world. What a shame.

Sorry about my comments. I didn't see these shows before, and that is why I'm late on commenting. Please forgive me.

Zeno, nothing wrong with your comments. And certainly nothing wrong with commenting on them now, repeats or not. If you hadn't see it before, it wasn't a repeat for you. That you got any response and all, considering most of us saw this the first time it was aired is pretty good! I don't see any need for you to apologize.

I've been thinking about the bayou family since Hurricane Katrina hit. I hope they are okay. Does anyone have any info on them or where they were located?

Looks like the Loupe family is doing fine. As expected, they are a major topic right now on several threads in the Trading Spouses forum on the FOX website.

Rather than try to paraphrase all the responses, I'll let ya read HERE. Take your pick on which thread to read.

I watched last night and had no hope for a good outcome in the first half hour. Boy was I surprised when both families did so well and took the best of each of the moms' changes. Those little boys were sure terrors!

This episode seemed a lot "softer" than some from last year.

I usually don't like the uptight moms, but I like miss lydia from the start. I didn't like Maureen too much. I get this feeling that she was abused or bossed around way too much as a kid.

I loved how it ended though. I liked how the uptight dad was trying to compliment Maureen at the end so she wouldn't feel too bad about being too lax with her kids.

Ack! This one was on last night? How come I don't see it at all in any present/future schedules on my DVR?

I think that one is on Fox and one is on ABC and I watched the one on ABC last night. I loved Miss Lydia because she gently persuaded the boys and the husband to her way of thinking and there's not a thing wrong with making sure that kids have nice manners, they like themselves better when they have balance in their lives.
The chubby mom was very sweet but she needed some help with getting her kids under control, I liked it when Miss Lydia criticized the chubby mom and Miss Lydia's husband jumped in a defended the chubby mom.

Whoami, I think that's because we're discussing "Wife Swap" in the "Trading Spouses" thread. Same difference, I guess. But I guess there is no 'Wife Swap' thread.

Oh.

Well, maybe we can re-name this thread Trading Spouses/Wife Swap? Seems like the shows are somewhat interchangeable anyway. Its not the first time there was a confusion made.

According to Fox's website, Trading Spouses will be back with "New episodes coming soon." Probably, they're saving it for a filler once they pull their famous "pull a new series before anyone gets a chance to get into it" routine.

My DVR did find the new Wife Swap episode. It was aired last night at 1:05am here, cause it was pre-empted for Monday Night Footaball. At least I got to see it!

I liked the episode. All the adults turned out to be quite nice, although they had their faults--just like everyone else in the world.

I like this kind of portrayal much better than editing which tries to show one person as the devil and the other as an angel.

Julie, the title change has been made and good grief, am I glad! Those shows are so similar that it's amazing, I am on the Fox board and it seems that folks get them mixed up as well, btw. I think that it's a symptom of American Information Overload.
