LOL Puzzled...my thoughts exactly. Wonder if Christian mom was speaking from experience. Maybe hubby was the one who told her she was a smushed candy bar!

LOl, thats what I said to my hubby...Me thinks she is speaking from experience. Phil Donahue must not bring home the bacon in that regard. Back to the religion thing. I am Agnostic. My best friend is a born again Christian. I have gone to church with her. I have gone to youth group. I have bowed my head while she prays over the dinner table. I do this to experience whats important to my best friend. If you are secure in your own beliefs then you can be open to experiencing others, just for the sake of respecting that person and showing them you care. Like I said above, an hour wouldn't have killed the mom.

Oh good lord!! The vegan lady just told the little 8 year old boy that he would die by 40 if he kept eating the way he was. What right does she have to tell someone else's child something like that? The little kid told her that when the good lord wanted him to come home that is when he would go LOL!

Vegan mom is terribly judgemental. She just said that Deigo and mom made terrible mistakes in raising ZZ. Does she honestly expect a little boy not to touch things when they are shopping and roll in the grass when they are in the park?

ROFLMAO - ZZ just told vegan mom she was fired!! He is so funny! Wonder what vegan mom does with gator family's $50M. Looks like gator mom makes them give $10M to something that vegan mom doesn't like.

ZZ is the best "reality" contestant in ages. I love the kid, is that wrong, should I seek help?

I'll tell ya what. That vegan mom sure looks like a huge hypocrite if she's an animal lover. They showed a clip of her hitting that dog (pretty hard too) and then holding it a bit upside down (maybe rubbing its nose in something??). That is not an animal lover to me. Even if the dog did pee, rubbing its nose in it is not an effective way of housetraining it... It ticked me off. And then she said she barely tapped it.... (so she lies too!)

I thought ZZ was hilarious too. I loved it when he said something to the camera or producers about changing it so his mom would be gone 2 months instead of 2 weeks. Then it was funny when he told vegan mom "You're fired!"

ZZ rules I think the vegan mom should've yelled "Get off my supper" to ZZ when he was rolling on the grass

I'm glad I wasnt alone!! Shocked at the image that Californians are gaining from this tv exposure!! See if I ever move to CA - I would be so out of my element based on these reality shows!! ZZ, and Diego, what a wonderful pair!! They really were a tribute to their upbringing, so laid back, and honest!! I wonder what I would've turned out had I been Cajun?! All that fried food, no veggies... YUMMMMMM!! I may have learned to like Croc and Frog leggies!! I still think the moms are so set up, they cant help but to fail!! It was very brave of the Cajun mom to continue to honor what she knew by bringing the gator heads to the Vegans, but honestly she lived a sheltered life, and had no clue of the activism these Vegans held dear... She wsa just southern kindness, and I believe that they are not showing much of the dad and kids because they too are all that is kind hearted, no controversy, no film footage! I think they did their best to stir the pots with the "party's"" ZZ is very self confident!! Wonder what kind of teachers he has! Diego is so laid back, and sensitive!! "YOU're FIRED" When his mom said You'd miss me, and he bet her $50,000 he wouldnt, that to me said mom knew her son, but also knew his spirit!! That's one strong will dude!! When he said he was just saying those things to make HIS punishment (or whatever) easier, I'm like "oh boy, poor real mom!!"

I think the vegan mom should've yelled "Get off my supper" to ZZ when he was rolling on the grass Hahahaha, Ketchuplover, that is priceless! Bet ZZ will be glad to get his Mommy back. Mrs. Vegan is a clueless nighmare. Mr. Alligator takes her out to a restaurant and she ruins the whole thing. She should have just had her salad and shut up. Then he takes her out sight-seeing and she bugs the kid, freaks when he's having fun rolling on the grass, and when there's a party, she gets up on her soap box. Geez, Mr. Alligator even pretended that her slushie or whatever that goop was, was o.k. She could take manner lessons from him.

LOL..@rolling on her supper!! Vegan mom is waaaaaaaaay out of line! According to her time table we'll all be dead at 40? I'll sacrifice a head of cauliflower for a few years more. Next time I mow the grass, I'll shed some tears for the "hurt" I caused. One the other hand, I'm not sure I could be so accepting of an alligator head as a gift. ZZ is a lil spit-fire, and has more sense than any of the adults. Vegan dad and the kids seem to be afraid of the vegan mom. Vegan family needs a ZZ visit!

I thought ZZ looked like a nightmare with his real mom before she left but when the vegan mom got there, I thought he was hysterical! I was surprised at how well he did before he did what she considered super bad things. I was literally laughing out loud at the end when he told her she was fired. He's quite the smart and precocious kid and I'm sure I'd be wanting to give him a spanking before long, Pamy! LOL

I really love that Cajun accent. It's completely unique and I really love when they start talking in that fractured French. I have to admit I started to nap before the episode ended though. But really, I don't understand why people don't eat more vegetables and indulge in every deep fried thing placed in front of them. I don't worry about people eating meat all the time--you can do that and be healthy--but to have so much deep fried stuff? It seems unnecessary. Have some green vegetables. It makes me mad every week that people complain about what they have to eat. The vegan mom is NOT going to die from having crawfish and the Cajun mom is certainly NOT going to die from a salad without dressing for once. I can't believe how judgmental the Cajun mom is.

Did the vegan's at the party tell Cajun mom they "catch and release bugs?" I like ZZ. Vegan mom is to much.

I also enjoyed watching Diego and ZZ. They seem so laid back and mellow. Barbra the vegan from outer space had no right to nag at ZZ and try to correct him. She stepped way over the line with that washing the mouth out with soap threat. I can't see how the father didnt speak up. She had no right to lecture and harangue the Cajun friends that came over and think she could change their whole life syle. When her own husband remarked that Barbra had "worn him down" to get him to propose, you could tell there is trouble. Her kids seemed afraid of her too.

Did anyone think Diego was mentally challenged? I am not sure if it was his accent and his slow manner of speach or if he is impaired, not that there is anything wrong with that. He comes across as a very sweet guy, even the mom said she had to keep her eye on him or he would say yes to everyone. ZZ should be a politician, he knows how to manipulate and say what he thinks you want to hear...when he told the mom 'I wasn't being thoughtful' and she was so happy she had gotten thru to him and in reality he was just working her LOL

I love ZZ and Diego, too. And I don't think Diego is in the least impaired. He's just part of a slower way of life. There's no need to speak quickly and walk fast all the time. I love the Cajun accent, and the Patois, too. they talk in a bit of a monotone, but I like it. I want to go to New Orleans so bad. In my opinion, the Cajun people have been astoundingly patient with Vegan mom. I would have erupted two days into the deal. I am completely open and accepting of any lifestyle or religion, but don't lecture and impose it on me. But, I wouldn't have been thrilled with the alligator heads, either. I eat meat and veggies and pretty much anything. But I don't want the heads as a souvenir. And that pile of alligator heads everywhere in the backyard - I would have been completely put off by that. I miss the format of past episodes. Didn't they do a rule change? First new mom has to try the family's rules, then they switch? I miss that.

I think Diego is quite normal, just very laid back and overwhelmed by the vegan mom. We went on a Cajun tour last year and loved every minute of it. I told my DH that I was going to send him in for training since the Cajun men typically do all the cooking. Ketch, loved your line!
