O.K., who else watched Trading Spouses on Tuesday?

I have to admit, I like the show. It gives you an insight into other people's lives. But what gets me is they keep finding these people that have alot of money and put them into a middle class family. Well, according to the lady on Tuesday's show, she is upper-middle class.....a husband that is a yacht captain, a huge beautiful house, a pool with a waterfall and a person that comes in and cleans...I could handle upper-middle class. Anyways, she is driving around with her new family in a SUV that is years old and has all kinds of things wrong with it. And she says "Why don't you just get them fixed" and later makes the comment that her Jag is only about $500.00 a month. Sounds like she has never had to live on a budget.

I watched it and so far I dont like the Boston mom, but I like the Boston Family and I dont like the CA family at all. And yes, when she said she was going to give them 10k to put down on a new car..it made me sick.

The dad had told her it was paid off, so why not put 3 or 4 into fixing it up and they can have it a few more years. If she does it the way she is saying they are going to have a car payment again, and it doesnt sound like that will be helpful for them.

I thought the exact same thing about them having a car payment if she gives them a $10,000 downpayment. I don't think the 'richer' families seem to be very in touch with what the 'more middle class' people live like. It has been very interesting to see the culture shock that occurs on that show. I didn't think I would like it, but it's so interesting

She maybe out of touch, but I actually like the rich lady better than the other one this time. I really think the other lady is tacky.

I really think the other lady is tacky.

Especially when she was getting drunk at dinner

I agree, she has no sense of money or anything, but she is polite. The other mom was rude at the airport. And then she was crying that they didnt like her. Well, you cant have it both ways.

I think the Boston family had a better attitude about this, and it looked like the dad was making a little effort to make the situation work. Again, maybe it was because of the way the Boston mom acted that the Calafornia family is responding back so cold. If you are going to do this, you really need to have an open attitude and be willing to welcome someone new in.

I loved the rich family from the first show. Not the mom AT ALL. But the family was so warm and welcoming. I really liked them.

Aren't there any more new episodes of this show? Last week was a repeat and this week says it is too. Is this it for this show?
