Anybody catch Fox's Trading Spouses tonight? I don't regulary watch it, but it was interesting to see the tone tonight. It was basically the red states verus the blue states. The northern family was uptight, distant, and the Mom was a loon. She had to have everything perfect. The southern family was laid back, messy, and affectionate. They even had a "Bush-Cheney" poster out front on their lawn. Next week's episode will be interesting when there is talk about the war in Iraq.

Sorry if this has already been posted.

And I'm sorry you lost an hour of your life watching this idiocy.

I watched most of it. I think next week will be interesting when the lib starts critizing the Iraq war. Could be some good fireworks.

Sounds good. I watched Extreme Makeover:Home Edition last night. Great stuff. I've stopped watching tv basically, except for cooking shows on PBS and Ken Burns *LOL*

never seen the show, but I've had the misfortune of being aquainted with the parent of the peace activist because he was bragging how his ass clown kid
was going to be on this show and was a "professional peace activist". I asked how one becomes a "professional" at this
compared to an "amateur". He was not amused.

My hubby and I like this show (Trading Spouses). Knew there was trouble brewing on the trade though when the clean-freak said she would never voluntarily go to Chattanooga, Tenn. where the other "messy" family lived. Said it reminded her of hillbillies. The dog poop on the floor was a bit much....the Tenn. woman got a good deal, gets her house cleaned real good and fifty thou!

The one with the uptight mom and unhappy scared kids...? I mean now who can't handle a merry-go-round. That is one dead inside woman.

I like the other family they are real, and the eyeball trick was sooooooooo funny.

Don't tell anyone - but the ABC version of that show is one of my secret pleasures.

I'm absolutely fascinated by people who think this is a good idea - and am always surprised that the all "learn something" from the experience.

I'll be watching tonight - while doing some work at home.
