>>the white lady. all i can say is white trash gold digger

totally agree!

Saw it last night too-was pretty funny. Must admit though I'm holding out for the real mccoy version.

There is a show called "Wife Swap" that ABC is coming out with this fall. And now ABC is pissed at FOX for stealing their idea and putting out their own show first. NBC is pissed at FOX too for stealing their idea for a boxing reality show.

Sounds like the fox network needs some creative writers for shows on their end! I had seen a commercial for wife swap, but I'll have to check out Trading Spouses. I didn't catch the first episode.

I loved the first episode! I laughed the entire way through!

Quotables:

"I think what I bring to my family is my positiveness." followed by "Knowing how to talk to people is the most important thing. I can speak to the president or I can speak to the garbage man. They're both the same man to me." --from Mrs. N

On whether or not the new family will have a pool, from Mr. B, "Honey, we got a pool. It might take a few minutes to blow it up but we got one." with a totally straight face.

Ahhh... quality!

PS-what's up w/ Mrs. K's bags under her eyes? Her husband's a PLASTIC SURGEON!!!

*bump*

tonight is the conclusion of the first episode (they re-aired last weeks show last night)

the white lady was on the seacrest show yesterday and she said that they made her look like a villian :rolleyes:. they edit what she gives them, and there was not much she gave to make her look any good :o.

Mrs. N is such a PLANO LADY! You guys from Dallas will totally get what I mean!

It seems like every good new reality show comes from the British counterpart. (Like Changing Rooms and Trading Spaces.)

But anyway, I adore Mrs. B and when Mrs. N said stuff about the daughter going to die young because of her weight it made me cringe. Mrs. B said she would love to use the $50,000 to pay off her debt (before learning that Mrs. N controls the money) and that would be such a better use than Weight Loss Camp.

She made the poor kid stand in the closet while she was drying her hair SO THEY COULD GO TO A WATER PARK!!!!!
Are you F'ing Kidding me? I wanted to kick her. HARD.

So I'm watching the final episode of this switch and Mrs. N is already pissing me off within the first two minutes.

She said all of this stuff about how horrible life is for overweight girls. They can't find clothes that fit, blah, blah, blah. Then she says she's never been overweight in her life. So how does she know what it's like?


ETA:
They're having a party and Mrs. N said they can't have chicken wings because "that'll kill you eventually."

I'm very happy that it turned out the way that it did, and it seemed like the Biggins were happy about it too. I'm too happy for Nana as well! I hope she enjoys her new car (was it established whether or not she can actually drive :eek: ?) as well as her trip to Japan. She definitely deserves it!

That lazy Mrs. N. didn't even lift a finger to wash her dirty drawers! :mad: Guess if she gets a boat, it won't happen with that $50K!

I missed part of the end of the show. Can someone break down how each mom spent the 50K? Thanks!

Mrs. Biggins decided to spend the Ns share all on Nana (she does all of the work anyway!) so Nana can buy a new car and take a trip to Japan. Mrs. N said this is okay because now the money will be evaluated in Nana's tax bracket which is "much different" than hers.

Mrs. N decided to split the money up. $20,000 was for debts, $22,000 for a down payment on a new house, $500 per child, $750 for the parents (Mrs. Biggins has to go to the spa and Mr. has to go to an electronic store). I don't remember what the rest of the $5,000 is for, but it's not as horrible as we thought it could have been!

I was wondering why daughter Biggins seemed so unhappy with the outcome....in the last episode, didn't Mela say she was giving the kids 500 each anyway?

But I have a feeling that Mrs. N. is gonna make Nana pick out a car she wants, and there won't be any left over for a trip to Japan...
