I watched. I missed the first 15 mins. I thought it was one of the tamer episodes. Very bland. Neither family was outrageous. 40k in outstanding credit card debt?

Lilfair, I could've sworn I heard her say "put $40+ thousand toward your credit card debt". Wow. But that still doesn't tell me what their debt/income ratio is...heck, mine could be worse than theirs and I have ONE credit card at $5K...lol I liked it tonight. Laid back. Each family seemed to learn something about themselves and were willing to experience the difference. I guess what I'd like this show to be more often. And, (this is a gripe of mine in Trading Spaces too) why do they seem to be gravitating toward the higher-end homes? I live in a middle- to upper-middle class suburban area, and Tasha's bedroom was as big if not bigger than my LR...sure, I only have 1,200 sq.ft., but I was so jealous...lol Liked the CO house better than the VA one. Loved the openness and yes, even the "starkness". Just my preference...hate clutter and knick-knack-artsy-fartsy (no offense) stuff.

Since when did they condense this show to one episode? Wasn't it always two episodes previously? I wasn't too thrilled with the VA Dad until I saw him making some strides with the girls. His daughter has a wonderful voice! I was pleasantly surprised to see how the VA Mom embraced the family's togetherness and actually got up and sang with them. I thought she just might be the one to be stubborn and not even try. It was nice to see how touched she was and how she wanted to do more with her family and was so accepting of all the comments from the other mom. I was surprised to see what a big house the motorhome family had! I don't think they were hurting any either.

This was the season finale so maybe they wanted to wrap it up in one. Tasha's voice was indeed beautiful! Maybe we'll see her next on American Idol.

I gather they were a recently blended family? Or the dour dad was the step dad to at least some of the kids? I was happy when he went over and hugged the older daughter after she sang at the party they had.. everyone else seemed to do very well.

Sea, the oldest was the Dad's kid, the little ones were the wife's. I wonder if they will do this again, I acutally enjoy this show. It was heartwarming watching the mom come alive singing with the family. Tasha can sing!!! I hope the AI ppl were watching!

Watching, they did one other show in one episode. Not sure why. Maybe in those two instances they didn't have enough footage? Or maybe they needed X number of shows so they had to adjust?

This episode was rather tame. Blue...my son and I were saying almost the exact same thing regarding the size of the house. I kept saying, "why do they need $50,000?" LOL...of course that was before I heard about the $40,000 credit card debt. Ouch! I was wandering if perhaps this was one of the first episodes taped...or maybe the very first one. The allocation of the monies was different than in previous episodes. Rarely was such a hugh chunk awarded for one thing...both moms did this on this episode. Just a thought.

I remember the other time the show was condensed into 1 episode, too. Although I rember it happening before ...for the life of me I can't remember any of the details but I think it was another "tame" episode. I'm figuring they couldn't get enough conflict footage for 2 hours.

That one condensed episode wasn't so tame....remember it was the Jewish lady/Christian lady swap? The Jewish mother refused to attend the new family's church, while the other lady compared virginity to an intact chocolate bar? lol

I haven't checked in on the boards in awhile but I have a question. Since American Idol is on Mon/Tues/Weds, what happened to Trading Spouses? Is it on hold or are they moving it to a new time? I can't find it in the local tv schedule in my area.
