    Default Does anyone watch wife swap

    I get a kick out of watching this show. Right now we have a family of 3 living in a log cabin,the husband is a fisherman on the east coast. They live really frugal.Then we have a the mom with 3 kids and husband and shops everyday eats out at least 3x's a week. Has had 2 boob jobs. They switch places. The money mom is a very selfish and hateful women. At the end of the show they face each other and see of the wives have changed.
    If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. Not to
    people or things.

    I have seen this show, and am kind of surprised it's still on. Personally, I always wanted to see a follow-up a year later. Most people are going to change for a month or two. Lasting changes are more difficult.

    I used to watch it sometimes......until they started showing all the fights and bickering and the switch was such an extreme........I lost interest.

    I've watched it before but I try to avoid doing so....I just don't like "reality" shows. I have enough reality in my own life, thankyouverymuch!

    I watch it, and like it! I have my own opinion of what the "nightmare switch" would be for me, and see similar situations! I could not do it, and I am sure our lifestyle would be a nightmare to some.I love my life and don't want to switch with anyone ever!!!

    I used to watch it all the time. Hubby dosen't like it. I still would but most of the time I can't even remember it's on.

    I like the show. Know it's a lot of staging. One of the teachers here at the school, him, his wife and one of the two kids were on it. They played like the boy was introverted, dressed down, and kind of ignored...a friend of my daughters said he dresses like everyone else, very EXtroverted, a comic and definitely not ignored. All show.
    While the show was on the school kids were on facebook saying just wait till Monday....I'll never look at him ( the teacher) the same way again. They were getting a hoot out of it cause they knew it was a bunch of crap.

    It's just entertainment...a laugh...yeah, I like the show but I would never do it....unless they paid me a ton of money....I'd end up hurting someone..There's always one of the 4 adults that really gripes my butt
