I thought that the couples in Wife swap were paid 20K each for appearing. I can't imagine they would do it just for fun.

I must have had a different Wife Swap shown, because the wife was a little person and the other wife was into Beauty and exercise, her husband was a police man who was into exercise and sports, and the wife's little person husband was little and he just had fun in life let things go any way.

I meant that it doesnt involve money AS part of the show.

is it all over with?

yes, and it was kind of painful to watch. The Athletic family had three boys and mom had skimpy bikini pics of her body....in CLOSE UP detail, on the Gym wall.

Not sure how that would twist teenage boys psyche LOL

YUCK, who wants to oogle pics of their MOM!

by the way, I loved how the new mom tore down the most offensive of them. ((well, to me anyways))

Too funny, Sunshyne4u. I thought just the opposite. I would have been livid if she had come into my home and ripped up anything. She had no right to do that. These swaps are to go to someone else's home and learn from their lives and, hopefully, have them learn from yours. They're not to destroy someone else's property. Now, if she had wanted them removed when she was in charge ~ that's different than tearing them up.

I'm sure the boys don't ogle the pics of their mom. They appeared to be pretty well adjusted and proud of their mom.

The little mom was just jealous and has size issues no matter what she says.

No boy in the world would want to drool over pics of a closeup of mom's abs and groin in a thong.....sorry

It would be even more embarrassing with friends over visiting.

I dont think little mom was jealous at all. Those egotistic selfcongratulatory pics stood for everything that Little mom fights against.

Stereotypical 'barbi' bodies as being the goal for success.

imho of course

If having a sterotypical "Barbie" body is what makes her happy then good for her. If having a fat, dumpy body is what makes others happy, then good for them. I just don't see what's wrong with her and her family being proud of who and what she is. I still say the little mom has self-image issues or it wouldn't have bothered her that much. I could see her feeling disgust if that's the way she felt but she cried ridiculously and tore up someone else's property. Isn't that vandalism?

was, not is....it was in the past, wasnt it? I find it sad when people cling to their past 'wins'. The shrine for instance was silly.

If having a fat, dumpy body is what makes others happy

Now that is an interesting comment. What if the person does not see themselves as 'fat and dumpy'?
Some may have called me fat and dumpy even when i used to be in excellent shape since I am a large framed person with a natural large chest.

Personally i find pseudo-barbies bothersome. Fake boobs, fake blonde hair and manic exercise for 4 hrs a day does not portray someone that is happy with themselves and their looks.

To teach your child it is 'allllllll about winning and how you look' is not good parenting. God forbid that youngest boy is not good in sports OR one of the boys suffers serious longterm injury due to being Forced to perform by aggressive parents.

just my opinion, I value everyone else's comments even if i may not agree.

She's still competing so it is 'is' not was. I know a body builder and I'm proud of his accomplishments for him. He's a wonderful person also. I've seen people be abusive toward him and scorn him because he's a body builder. He was Mr. Alaska something the year he turned 50. He worked hard for that and he deserved the win.

Do we know she has fake boobs or fake blond hair? I must have missed that part.

Being an ex-Barbie type and now being a fat, dumpy body type, I've seen both sides. My problem is I'm far too lazy for the 4 hour a day exercise routine; however, I applaud her for her stamina and perseverence.

Possibly they are overdoing it somewhat on the 'all about winning' theme but I'll bet you anything you want to bet those kids are high achievers throughout their lives and they'll never be on the welfare rolls.

The little person, what is the right way to say a person is little, I don't want anyone getting upset. shouldn't have not ripped off the picture right off, should have asked the husband to put them away while she was there. Even thou she was wrong, they shouldn't haven't had the pictures up there because it is hard other people views. They should have thought of that person's feelings when they walked in on that. I don't mined the sports and the trophys but the picture should have been put away.

I think the LP mom lost it when she saw the pictures. It was so out of line to rip those pictures. They weren't porn. It takes a lot of discipline and drive to achieve that sort of physique. LP mom over reacted and I hope she apologizes.

Bodybuilding mom needs to chill and realize that it’s ok for others to be more laid back and not into muscle of definition.

Each needs to chill.

The thing is that it is their home and they have the right to display them if they choose. I'm sure those are some of her publicity shots for being a champion. If that was me, I would have them displayed too. It's no different than displaying your certificates and degrees. It was a 'vanity' wall for her.

My friend who was a body builder had autographed pics of some male and female bodybuilders framed on his office wall. One of the bleeding heart liberal biothcy co-workers complained they were porn and he had to remove them. It was a government office and they didn't want to argue the point. They weren't porn they were no different than displaying an autographed pic of anyone you admire.

except that they are wearing skintight spandex bikini bottoms and the women often are in thongs....sometimes in pseudoporn poses.

I admire anyone who can Balance a normal life with keeping in shape however, when a person's obsession is ruining their marriage/family life, it isnt healthy. Like the lady said, to have a sitdown dinner means they cant do sports. It isnt a balance in that household.

I see your point Chilli. I've never been a Barbi so cant see that side of the argument LOL

Did anyone watch this show Monday night? The freaky Earth Goddess or whatever she was and her husband. What did you think of parents with 3 lovely boys who make them all cram into one bedroom while they each not only have their own bedroom/shrines to themselves but another room for massage? And, then the other parents who have a beautiful, talented daughter who they turn into a slave girl for their spoilt brat son and treat him like King Tut with everyone bowing down and making sure he's happy no matter what?

At least this show seems to usually have people learning from each other and grateful for the experience rather than complaining and being hateful afterward.

The "Earth" mom (& dad for that matter) were totally strange. That mom didn't even do any "motherly" things. Her kids did the cooking & cleaning & she did her worship thing & hung out in her self created shrine. I felt so sorry for those 3 boys of theirs.

The son in the motor bike family was totally spoiled & I believe he was just a mini-me to dad. Dad changing will make boy change. I don't see as much of a problem in the family as in the "Earth" family.

Earth Goddess was creepy to me. She did have a lot of insight for the moto-cross dad and his daughter that surprised me though. I just don't get how her and her husband could justify having separate bedrooms/shrines and a massage room for themselves (3 bedrooms) over their boys each having a room and being crammed into one little room. The epitomy of selfishness.

holy smokes. This selfsufficient Farm mom is overthetop.

Anyone catch her happy description of how her concoction works better than toothpaste? Butter and clay. Did you SEE her gums when she smiled?? wow, a really bad case of gum disease!! Either that or she has a vitamin deficiency which causes bruising bleeding gums.

Wonder what the farm people use to stave off scurvy?

the guy just asked the City Mom if she believed God would put anything on this earth which could hurt us (as a people)

Okay, I am not sure whether I want to continue watching this stuff. The Bible is very pointed on things like cleanliness.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

This Iowa family seem just to be nutbars.
I feel bad for the kids.

okay, the farm lady just admitted that she uses vinegar to clean. That is a very effective disinfectant...99% of germs.

however, raw eggs = salmonella

and raw meat/ raw milk without handwashing = cow poo and fecal organisms including Hemorraghic Ecoli

raw hamburger can equal Mad Cow as well. That is from the butchering process and not washing the meat/ meat touching brain/ nervous/ connective tissues.

Those farm people are only safe in their minds. Cows can carry Mad Cow for years before the symptoms are bad enough to show us that they are sick. Just because an animal is under two doesnt mean that dont have it.

My rant is over LOL Just laughing at the sight of the father blubbering like a baby because he ate nonraw food. Yeah, i bet they do feel kind of gassy. It is a normal part of a varying diet. Of course, the farm people do not have a varying diet...raw foods..raw yoghurt etc.
