Wife Swap

Watched an episode of Wife Swap from 2007 last night w/ my roommates, one of the families was from Eugene! They lived in Matreiya Eco village, I recognized Van Buren street and New Frontier market. Reality tv is so trippy, especially after taking dabs... If anyone is curious I believe it was S3 E20 on Hulu!

Both men trade homes and families for two weeks they must take each others jobs and responsibilities who does the better job

This is current DBS Goku and Rebirth Superman

My sons and I watched wife swap wwwaaayyy back in the day and I just noticed it’s on Hulu now. While the 3 of us were talking, I saw that one of the children on it had killed his mom and one of his brothers, then tried to kill himself but he survived. We watched the episode (s4e15), and this family was deep into it. They had all sons, some of them adult, who were not allowed to date, watch tv, play video games, were sequestered on their farm, and played in a family bluegrass band. They had to earn tokens to get privileges, like listening to the radio (certain things only), by doing chores. You can tell on the show by their reactions to the new rules, that they are brainwashed in a very unhealthy way, but then actually enjoy some of the things the swapped mom encouraged them to do. The whole thing was very sad and tragic to watch knowing the outcome. The family’s last name was Stockdale.

Hear me out. A show where the leader of groups have to swap with each other for a week. Change dorms, ect ect.

I would pay so much money for this show. Significant amounts of it.

I wanna see Hongjoong trying to control Stray Kids, or Shownu suddenly put in charge of the boyz.

It would be incredible

EDIT: Extra entertainment would be showing the leader clips of their chaotic group potentially behaving better for the sub than they have ever behaved for them

Did anyone watch the show “wife swap”? The producers would take two families who were comically different, like one family is loud and plays practical jokes on each other, another is intellectual and quiet. And they make them switch homes for two weeks. For week 1 they have to abide by the new family’s rules. For week 2 they get to impose their rules from their way of life on the new family.

When they return, they sometimes implement things they learned with their own family.

So if you were a producer, who would you “wife swap” for an entertaining show?

I would choose Jordan Page and Tidy Dad.

Jordan would learn about her excess from having to clean Tidy Dad’s tiny apartment and would know his kids better than her own within two weeks…with that tiny apartment and lack of babysitters on weekends. If she somehow had to teach she’d maybe value education more.

And Tidy Dad would have to try to relax into absolute chaos. lol.

I think MMW and Bossbabe Birthy would be bananas...

• DâäªVe and Miss mid nazi would enjoy cosplaying together, but they would both secretly think that they are the better looking, more interesting one. House would be spotless though.

• Thumb and Bethy ... . Bethy would be filming reels atop piles of laundry and garbage, pure chaos. Thumb would try to bully Bethy once, and then she would absolutely steam roll him. Thumb would cry in the shower just to have a moments peace.

I thought it was going to suck but Bob to the AM and Craig to the PM is excellent.

I know people committing crimes is pretty normal, but watching the seasons back I’ve looked up a few different families to see where they are now. So many of the kids have since completed major crimes. Has anyone else noticed this? It seems to be a lot of the kids that come from the stricter set of parents like the one son from the first episode of the first season, or the Wife Swap Family Murders. Are there any that truly shocked you to see later?

I’m on maternity leave and have been binging Wife Swap.

Before the women go to their “new” families, they’re asked what they hope to gain from the experience.

The answers are usually along the lines of “having my family realize how much I do” or “sharing my views with others”.

If you were able to swap into a different family for two weeks, what would you hope to experience? What rules do you value and would bring into another household?

Anybody else out there watch Wife Swap UK and/or Australia? They're available free to stream on several platforms. Personally I strongly prefer these over the US version -- the episodes are longer so they can get into more detail.

Just starting this episode now, and I find it so disrespectful to the show and the contestants that they are doing this so late in the season. Particularly with Melinda and Harrison. Just another example of why I will not be watching another season of this nonsense. Harrison and Bronte are totally fake and a complete act, and this wife swap just amplifies how bad this show has become. What a shit show.

i’ve been bingeing wife swap on hulu and now my mom and i have moved on to celebrity wife swap. we just watched the corey feldman/tommy davidson episode. if you haven’t seen it already, you gotta watch it. it is outright hysterical (aside from how sad it really is). i would love to hear other people’s thoughts

What do you think would happen if Tori and Audj were on the Wife Swap show?
