From a local newspaper article around Thibodeaux, LA per this poster at another board: "I hope that after eating the version of gumbo that Diana made for the California family (with soy chicken and soy sausage as mentioned in our local newspaper) they will at least enjoy our culture when they come for Mardi Gras (also mentioned in our newspaper.) I am waiting for the conclusion to see the finished product. (As a side note, I don't know how many people read the article, but Diane has a bachelors degree in criminal justice and political science. The family also has worked with many a tv show, commercial and in movies with their alligators and snakes."

Wow, so Diane isn't as dumb as the CA vegans thought. I really like the cajun family. I think if cajun mom felt she had been mistreated or looked down on by the CA family & friends then she should made part of the vegan familys' $50,000 go to PETA. Since they don't believe in harming animals or insects in any way. I'm an animal lover and I have in the past few years really cut back on meat cause I'm so tender-hearted thinking about little baby piglets being killed for baby back ribs that I refuse to eat them and a few other meat choices kind of turn me off too. That's my choice and my family can eat whatever they want. But, I am not a vegan, being a vegan would be difficult...for me. I could not live without cheese, eggs, etc. LOL

I hope she took the file (fee-lay) for the gumbo with her. I used to be able to get it in Tampa but none of the grocery stores carry it anymore. I had to go online and wound up ordering 5 bottles! That ought to last a while!

Willsfan, you’ve got a good attitude not forcing your tender heart on your family. Both my grown child are vegetarians. They have been for nearly 7 years. Although I love a good steak through, osmosis, and not wanting to cook double meals (when they were teens and living at home) I eat a lot less red meat. Like the Cagun mom and you I don’t force my eating habits onto others. I had to LOL when the California gals said they save bugs. I understand what she means. Again, because my kids didn’t understand killing a bee with raid instead of freeing it to the outdoors…we, like the California gals…rescue bugs. LOL oy vey.

That vegan mom is acting like such a <RA>. The teeth thing was ridiculous. I think it is funny how they make her look like a dope with the spelling of "monkies!" Reminded me of Quayle's "potatos!"

I loved how they ripped on her! She totally deserved it. When they showed her crying over the animal rights video and then they showed her beating on the poor puppy who peed on the floor! Dang, she coulda broke his neck. Ha! Barbara take that! I wonder if she knew this was coming or not. And serve the healthy food right before you light up...

I love ZZ! I love Diego. I love Diana. They all handled themselves so well... So sad that Lucy wasn't very happy that her mom was coming home.

What I love about this show is that these over the top personalities get to see themselves, removed from the moment/s as they watch themselves...no matter the editing. It's got to be tough watching yourself when you have the makeup of the California mom. Either she'll die of embarrassment or she'll get a clue. It’s obvious, at least to me, that California mom has “issues”. She came across as plain mean and not very bright. (I hope what I wrote is ok by mod and board standards. I was as PC as possible). I heart ZZ!

I'm like the Cajun mom more and more...but California mom just rubs me the wrong way. How dare she reprimand the guests for coming early. I would have shipped her butt home early! <RA> ...Sorry if I offended anyone. That's just my honest opinion.

This was the best swap by far. I am glad that we got to see more of Diego this week, ZZ is very lucky to have such a loving and caring Daddy (and Mom!). I wonder what the vegan mom's friends think about her eating alligator??? Wonder if she will be dropped from the group? I hope she takes a long hard look in the mirror and quits judging everyone else.

I wonder if Barbara Gates is gonna get a lot of phone calls and emails. If you google her, you find lots of websites. She is very active in promoting healthy eating in schools. They list email addresses and even a phone number. She is the founder of Project Healthy Beginnings.

Oh how fun! I hope she gets ground into the earth. She disgusted me. I am a vegetarian,now,not a vegan. <nd>. She treated the cajuns bad,her children bad. I have never so felt such disdain for someone on a tv show. <nd>

Diana may come from deep in the bayou but she is one of the classiest women I have ever seen on any of these shows. What a terrific lady. I also adore that cajun accent. It is so beautifully musical.

Barbara turned her e-mail off from her website, healthybeginning.com. But her partner, Linda Peterson still has hers on.

The Cajun family was just great. They were so tactful and polite. Diego really put up with a lot. Mrs. Vegan, IMO, needs some stress management, at the least.

Does anyone know of a site that has details about the episode? I went with my son's Cub Scout group to tour a firehouse so I missed this I was looking forward to watching it too.

Barbara lives in OC, right?? This is the second OC mom that acted horrible! Glad I moved out of the OC, they give it a bad name.

Mrs. Vegan needs to be more tolerant for sure! It just creeps me out that she is so "holier than us", then abuses a puppy like that. I respect vegans.... why can't they respect omnivores?

Mrs. Vegan told her children not to cry when she read the letter and then she cried because she didn't like what it said. As soon as her money amount was put in she was fine. Who is the spoiled selfish child here? Even her husband said what's her's is hers and whats mine is hers. She is a very sad person who has lots of class, unfortunately it is all low IMHO.
