I really think I like the 2 hour show better cuz you can get to know the people better. I do hate waiting that week. Maybe they should do a 2 hour show.

This was a good episode. Nice to see everyone liking each other, for the most part. Even the husbands were likeable. She should have appreciated a pool. They looked like they all could use some exercise.

Could someone tell me what each mom decided to do with the $50,000? I was out and came home as Veronica was reading her letter. All I know is that she was not happy with the way the money was doled out. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this show. It was so nice to see two families with no villains. I think they all did a great job and were really nice people.

Don't remember all of it, but the white parents got money for their own bathroom, two of the kids got money for a car, and the daughter got money for college. I think a trip to Disneyland, too.

The black family got money for a flat-screen TV, a pool, I think an SUV, and stuff for the kids.

Veronica wasn't happy with the way the money was doled out but I don't know if you could make Veronica happy. I think she has a habit of being contrary without thinking about it. Still I did like her and even though this 2 wk episode was not very controversial, I think it was kind of heartwarming to see how much they all grew fond of each other and how they all welcomed the other into their home.

White family: oldest boy got $8,000 for a car. So did Arianne. Two younger boys, $1,500 and $1,000. (No college money for this family) Rest of $ to parents for bathroom, new floor, trip and whatever else the parents want. (didn't seem fair to me that each kid did not get equal amount)

Black family: (got me confused actually, Veronica had a hard time reading it also) $5000 to AJ for college, forgot the amount to Brittany for whatever she wants (i think), bigger car (I think), a plasma TV (which really ticked Veronica off), a pool (also ticked her off) and $1000 (also ticked her off!)

Veronica came off looking very bitter about the $$$. But saved herself before the end of the show.

Diane also allotted $3,000 for a wedding ring set for Veronica because she never had one. She complained that after 15 years of marriage she should have a 5 carat ring and that would only pay for a 1 carat ring. Geesh, no pleasing this woman.

I think Veronica was joking about the wedding rings. I wish they had said how she thought the money should be spent.

This show actually made me sad. I think that Veronica was upset because her family seemed to be happier with Diane and didn't seem to miss her at all. Her daughter just looked so sad to me. Maybe after Veronica views the show, she will see what it is that her family wants from her. It seems to me that they just wanted some fun family time and maybe a little attention.

I didn't see the end where they split the money, but I'm surprised that Diane didn't split the money differently.....if the whole point was that they got to know the families and then split the money to best help them, then I thought she'd designate the money more specifically for things that would force the family to spend time together, since that is what the children seemed to really want.

Highlighter, that is what I thought too. I thought they'd get a family trip or even counseling or something...

How would you guys spend the money?

Well, I was hoping that 'white' family would get money for an additional bathroom. I also would have set aside some money for some other home improvement projects. It looked like they had fans in the windows, so maybe they could use central air. Also, the kitchen appeared to be in need of some remodeling, IMO. Or, maybe, just a $50,000.00 downpayment on a new house!

Not sure what I would have given the other family.
Counseling? Vacation?

I don't know what I expected but I thought that Veronica somehow would have issued monies for an on going cleaning service.

I'd take that 50,000 and take a trip of a lifetime with the husband, to heck with practicality.

I don't think Veronica was kidding about the ring $$, I think she seriously wants a 5 K ring. And the pool anger cracked me up when she was saying how she would see it and be mad every day remembering how she didnt want to get her hair wet on the fishing trip. She really seemed selfish to me. I was impressed how the family got up to tell Veronica good by.

Diane seemed like she would be grateful for $50,000 worth of Bubble gum. I like her and she did a lot for the husband and kids self esteems

I like the way that wife swap wraps the show up in one episode rather than the way Trading does 2

Any other single parents want to petition for a "mommy swap" show for single parents...LOL! I could really use $50,000. Better still, how about we switch out our lives as single parents with a single person no kids? Let them see how the other half lives and remember how things used to be...LOL!

Shoot, was Diane's family from Massachusetts? I don't watch this show but this summer my cousin told me one of her neighbor's was chosen for an episode that would be airing in September, but no one called to remind me to watch last night! If so, I know Diane. Have been to weddings, kids' parties, etc. that she's attended over the years. She is a wonderful person, very warm, outgoing and funny. When the show was filmed the neighborhood was up in arms. It's a nice, middle class family neighborhood and they thought they were being betrayed as the poorer side of the swap.
Do they rerun these episodes? If this is the Diane I think it is I'd love to catch the show.

Snoops, I think it was your Diane in Mass. I thought it looked like an average middle class family. Not poorer. I took it as sloppier ,loud ,close ,family , to clean freak, spoiled, family who doesnt interact with each other.
