Anyone watching Wipe Swap?

[Pooh Girl 71]

I have a silly question. Is there another show like this on another network? I caught a show last week with a fanatical Christian woman who went to live with a New Age family. The fanatical woman was going crazy and the show went off. Is this the same show and I missed the other half? Or is there another show?

I know it's a typo, but I had to laugh!

I thought wipe swap was maybe one of the latest DIS exchanges!

You're not crazy! There's another show on another network called Trading Spouses.

I didn't watch the show, but had to click on the thread when I saw "wipe swap". That is just downright disgusting!

Who thinks that the hippie husband looks like he is 15 years old!!

This one is funny LOL

I really felt sorry for Ian. He needs a little normalcy.

 

[ChristmasElf]

ABC never mentions it, but do the families get paid to be on the show? And when the RI mother put a dishwasher in the hippie home, who pays for that?

 

[Jeafl]

I missed the first few minutes, and the first part I saw was the hippie mom kissing her husband goodbye. I was freaking out because I thought Ash was her son! I couldn't imagine why she was kissing her son like that!

I didn't find the Rhode Island mom that bad. She had some very valid points. The dad though was downright scary at first.

Did anyone else notice that Ian only had an accent at certain times? What an odd kid.

 

[allicat]

Accrding to the website, hippie mom is 34 and hippie dad is 24. He is stepfather to the hippie boy.

 

[JKMastalski]

I really couldn't get over that show last night! That was the oddest one yet. That little boy talked like "Stewie Griffin" from the Family Guy! We were cracking up at that accent!
Crazy people!

 

[kasar]

Yes, that boy needs to get out into civilization for a while. Did they ever say if he continued with the drama class?

I think Big Ed was a riot. He's Andrew Dice Clay reincarnated.

 

[Shugardrawers]

Hippie boy said he didn't like hanging out with other kids because they made fun of him. Gee...wonder why? He actually was a very sweet, articulate boy although I agree with the Stewie Griffin comment. What was up with that accent? All I could think is that his bio dad maybe was british and he picked it up from him??

 

[Toby'sFriend]

I was working last night and the kids had that show on in the background and I was just mesmerized. Now I'm just shocked --- because I thought that lady was a single Mom of two teens. I can't believe that was her HUSBAND!!!!

eeek eeeeek eeeeek

That little boy with the purple hair was such a sweetheart though. I really got the feeling that he plays the role of grown-up in that house. He was so quirky and intelligent, but also just the stereotype of the non-socialized Homeschooler. It was kind of heartbreaking to see him get to do normal boy stuff and get so excited about it. That kid needs a friend! And no way would I have asked him to get rid of the purple hair. That was just kind of mean.

As for the "rich" couple. My God if you can afford to buy your wife a 5000 square foot house, could you not also pitch in some money for some housecleaning help?

That is Trading Spouses on Fox. The second part of this swap airs Wednesday night. By the previews, it look like the over-the-top religious fanatic has a full blown meltdown in front of her own family. And those "friends" of hers that showed up for the party during the first half of the show....all I could think of was "Stepford Wives".

As far as Wife Swap on ABC, this was the most over the top episode I've seen from that show. That RI husband just hollering her name at his party, what a jerk. I thought it was hysterical the way the "hippy husband" labeled the orange and mango.

Big Ed reminded me of about 90% of the folks from the north-east who I've run across at Disney World.

 

[CPM]

I tuned in late & couldn't believe that was the Dad! LOL
Did they actually say that the RI family was rich? There are parts of RI where you can buy a nice big house like that & it won't cost you a small fortune. My family is from RI. Seems by the Dad's accent he is from outside of the Providence area. I'm glad he finally caved in & is helping his wife. I blam ethe wife though, he apparently got away with it all these years.
The hippie family @@ I wanted to wash their hair.

An insurance salesman is that rich??? Are they sure he's not a mafia hit man? He sure looks and acts the part!

My Italian American father is an insurance salesman with some cash, and he's even from Chicago and guess what - he's NOT in the mafia....believe it or not, all Italians aren't either. I take serious offense to that remark

rude

 

[Parkhopper]

It was like a train wreck - I couldn't look away! Ash looked like he was barely older than his son and "Big Ed" grossed me out. Why was he always shirtless? If I were a man, I wouldn't want my big old beer gut on national television. Then again, his actions were a bigger embarrassment than his physique. Where do they find these FREAKS?!?

Actually I based that on his manner of speech, manner of dress and extravagent lifestyle, all stereoptypical. Not on the fact that he's Italian. There's no need to be offended. I was not referring to your dad or inferring that your dad is in the mafia. I've never met your dad.
