Am I the only one saddened by watching Trading Spouses? If you haven't been watching, they take two dads from two different families and switch them. They did this before, only they switched the mothers.
This time, they switch a guy from the country (who we'll call country guy), who comes from a broke down trailer house complete with food-stealing cats, flies, 2 bad ass kids, flies, an air mattress bed, flies, chickens, dogs, flies, horses, cows, turkeys and did I mention....flies?
The other dad, we'll call him "city guy", is a jewish lawyer who lives in NYC. They could not have pigeon-holed two personality types better if they tried. The city guy as you can see is plainly disgusted. However, he's so big and red that you can almost imagine him fitting into this life. You can almost see it going across his face as he thinks about it. "In another life...this could have been my life."
Country guy is almost like an atypical country guy. Easy going, country manners, he doesn't seem too bright, but he makes up for it in genuine concern. Country guy is a simple guy.
I think the saddest part was when city mom took county dad to their beach house...he looks into the camera and says "I wish I had a beach house...I'd settle for a boat house."
He's living with these people who live an a gorgeous (expensive) apartment building in NYC, with a doorman, and gym in the building, a beach house.....what's he going back to at the end of the week? Bad ass kids and flies. I feel really bad for this guy. It seems his life was ok for him before this show came along.
the Country kids...are bad mannered and well...just downright fuckin bratty. They whine like 2 year olds, they whine, pout, scream, whine, demand, pick, whine and whine. City guy came so close to smacking the shit out of them...and I was praying he would just let loose and do it.
city mom...what can i say? She's a total controlling, aggresive NYC bitchy jewish mother. Everything has to be exactly how she says it should be, all the time. I think city mom, needs to live with country kids for a couple of months...now THAT would be a reality show for your ass! Cause country mom? has no social skills, no child rearing skills, no house cleaning skills.....she's everything that people make fun of about the country.
City mom's worst line - "you don't have a dishwasher? You can get a dishwasher for about 200 dollars." Country guy says...maybe she doesnt understand poor people very well.
country girl is totally repelled by the fancy restaraunt. Disgusted by mozzerell, lamb chops....
and city guy kinda looks down on her, cause he feels she doesnt want to make her life better cause she doesnt want to eat at fancy places...
Both of the families get 50k. It's decided that the dads will have to decide how the other families money is spent. city guy thinks maybe real estate is the way to go (I agree). country guy is clueless....he should just make the city family give the country family their 50k. :D
ok...enough of my babbling. If the show is so terrible....why can't I stop watching? Ha

Well hard to stop watching a train wreck. I did see part of the one where they switched mothers. It was entertaining.
At any rate, I enjoyed this post. ;)
