I gave up fifteen minutes into the latest episode, just when the women were to go rafting. I am disappointed - this show is too boring.

I didnt mean whether they were edible. I took the question to mean whether people routinely had a BBQ and had a feast of testes after a Castration.


I'd say that was extremely rare.

I liked tonight's show. Some of the Dads were shown in a more favourable light, and some of them were getting a dose of reality. Loved the fellow who said he couldn't get anything done because he was so tired--yes, that's how your wife feels a lot of the time.

LOL at the fellow who called the town crier to tell her about the secret wedding!! Duh.

Gotta start taping this show. Not only do I seem to get interrupted whenever TWTWW is on, but the show is also moving rather slowly. Need some FF ability.

Yeah, Puzzled I caught those "I'm so tired" woes, too and said the same thing you did.LOL

The one I really felt for was Sam's son, the one who wanted to move in with his Dad. This man doesn't have a clue how much he hurt his boy with his "You didn't think you were gonna move in with me, didcha?" response, but I am optimistic enough to hope that Dad will grow up some during that week and at least start to consider his son's feelings more.

The Mum with the Mohawk b/f will have a rude awakening when she looks at the footage. She doesn't have 2 boys to take care of, there are 3.

That town crier just might keep mum for the first time in her life in order not to spoil her friend's surprise, but I am not holding my breath. Ha!

Missed all the action with the Dads with the little ones. Anything noteworthy happen there?

Yes, I felt sorry for Sam's boy, too. Dad is so insensitive.

LOL at the kids getting washed off on the trampline at first. Then thought the water would make it slippery.

This was posted on another thread about another reality show I just had to post it here it suits
this show 100% "The Week The Women Went"

"that is my biggest complaint. We see the same scenes over and over. I'm like you-- surely there is more they could show us. I'm not so stupid I can't remember what I just saw a few minutes ago. Really bad trend in a lot of reality shows to do this."
thanks chieko

Noboyd watched this week?

I really felt for the man from Iraq who hadn't seen his parents in 28 years and his father passed away. I'm glad he realized how short life is and how fast the kids grow up and therefore decided to spend more time with them.

I enjoyed this episode. The twin men were interesting. Was it just me or did the wife of the twin seem really aloof on the phone? He really seemed to miss her terribley and she was waited 4 days to call (when I saw others calling their loved ones before!) and then just seemed so non-chalant on the phone.

Maybe I misread her?

MIz, I don't think you misread her. I too felt her aloofness like she really did not want to talk to him. I felt sad for him.

Trini, I felt sad for him too especially because he was not only missing her but their newborn baby! Maybe she was just out of it from late nights with baby and all the activities of the day.

Miz, I would never counsel anyone to dump their marriage without serious thought and consideration. And getting some professional counseling even if you have to go alone.

But if I was guessing, there are a lot more deep seated problems than him just not helping with the baby. Am I right in assuming that is just a symptom, not the underlying cause?

Anyway, if the time comes when you have to make the choice, don't wait like I did. Through two kids and 42 years, only to have him walk out because I would not "shape up." Of course he could never really tell me exactly what I was doing wrong. I even retired seveal years before I wanted to because he wanted me to.

All of our friends were "his friends." He never liked any of my friends and thought the people I worked with were "stuck up." I tought school, for heavens' sake. It was not like they were high society, or what passed for high society in our small town.

Later he told friends he had made a big mistake, but by then, I had found out how pleasant and easy life was without him. We have been divorced for over five years and I could not be happier. I have my own home, I am working again, and loving life.

And sad to say, he is a bitter old man, living in a nursing home in poor health. None of his old friends ever come to see him.

Looking back, I think it would have been better if I had left years before, but I took my marriage vows seriously.

So good luck, and be strong.

Thanks for sharing Allitex.

I am feeling better these days, it's amazing what a little sunshine (rains here alot!), feeling better from my health ailments and getting sleep (daugther is finally allowing me to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time.)will do for you.

Also, husband has been trying a bit harder when he's at home not like before where he was emotionally checked and basically only acknowledged us when he wanted to. Still not perfect (but what is?!) but a step in the right direction. What made him finally realize what I do for him was when I stopped doing his laundry. Pretty pathetic eh? I slowly stopped doing the little 'special' things like buying his favourite foods/treats, his toiletries ect but the thing that hit him the most was the laundry! LOL That got his attention. So I've come to realize I am married to man that doesn't care about those 'small things' so I don't waste my energy on them as much. He did complain he missed some other small things later, he was too proud to say otherwise but I think he was taking it for granted.

I'm focusing more on myself, making sure I take care of me. Today was the first time I went shopping by myself without my daughter since she was born, so 17 months ago! It was so fun! I skipped the gym today so I could buy my sister in Portland, OR some nice gifts for her 40th birthday. It's difficult to shop with baby, she hates being in the store. It was weird at first but I had fun for the hour I got before my acupuncture.

It doesn't change the fact that we are like night and day but I will work on myself and be happy for what I do have. Once my daughter starts school I will re-evaluate the marriage.

Thanks for caring enough to write Allietex!

Glad things are looking up, Miz. Bringing a baby home is a huge shift for both Mommy and Daddy. Lots of adjusting.

LOL--you know what they say about not appreciating something until you lose it. Haha, losing laundry service.

I think that was the last episode last night. Anyone watch?

I couldn't believe the guy who had his mother take care of him and the kids had to be found by his mother in a bar to come and greet his wife. <76>
Also the guy with the mohawk playing golf instead of meeting his girlfriend?!! WTH?? Then SMOKING in the house where the boys are?!! I hope she dumped him. She seemed pissed off but instead took the munchies from the boys. I bet the boys get the brunt of her frustration with her boyfriend. I wish they would do a follow up of them to see who is still together and who is not.

The guy who went fishing and didn't get a call from his wife the whole time and said,"I thought she might not be coming back." These men don't seem to get that nothing would hold these women away from their children. If it was just him, she might not have come back. That's just my opinion.

I was disappointed with the ending, it was anticlimatic for me. I wanted to see Mohawk guy get dumped, I wanted to see newborn baby mom greet her husband, we only saw him holding the baby. Overall the editing was terrible, after every commercial they would replay the last 2 minutes like I forgot in 2 minutes what just happened. Argh! Thank goodness for Fast Forward!

On a positive note, the wedding was nice. I was touched by the husbands display of emotions at the alter.

I watched Miz. I haven't watched the last few but tuned in for the finale. I was under-whelmed by the insight any of the people in that town rec'd. LOLOL I did catch the separated couple (forget names, ex was the town party animal) on my local radio talk show. She intimated that there were a few major changes as a result of this experiment but wouldn't say as to not ruin the finale. Makes me think that they were anticipating the show would show what happened a lot more then it turned out. I did get the impression that the party guy and his ex are now on much better terms but they didn't seem the type to air dirty laundry anyway so who knows.

There should be a special award for a show that takes such an interesting topic and turns it into something that could cure insomnia. LOLOL

I agree with you about mohawk guy. If she didn't dump his a$$ then she should be ashamed of herself. Guy that had to be dragged out of the bar needs to take a look at his friends, perhaps make some who are also married with kids. That seemed to be the issue from what I saw anyway... they followed him out of the bar but didn't seem to be meeting anyone. Maybe they covered that in one of the shows I didn't watch?

They never showed guy with his mom having 'single' friends. I think he just does what he can get away with. I think if mom wasn't always (well except for his total lack of judgment about going to the bar instead of meeting his wife!) doing everything for him he might actually pick up the slack. I bet he has been taken care of his entire life. Hell, I too would probably do very little if someone else was willing to do it for me! lol

No, I followed this show with the hopes of a more interesting ending. Like the woman who was pissed at her husband for going fishing instead of seeing her off and didn't phone him ONCE while she was away, I thought for sure there would be more stand offish at first. I mean I did see he because emotional when he realized what he could lose and I was happy for that.

I still can't believe some parents (people)think it's ok to smoke inside with children around or even other non-smoking adults!!

This show was such a disappointment. The repetition was painful. Every episode we saw the same clips of the same families, over and over again.

This had so much potential and they turned it into a snore fest.

It became boring rather quickly, didn't it? I doubt the CBC is going to launch another one.

Whenever I hear a voiceover say "coming up" or "last week" or "before our commercial break" lol, the ff button gets a workout. Very tedious if you think the only way people will keep watching a show after a commercial is to give them five minutes of what's "coming up" you need to revamp your show. The Bachelor is terrible for this as well. I rarely watch anything live anymore.
