Trading Spouces: Meet your new Mommy

I noticed Abasi's friends he invited were female. I am so glad the one talked to him about how rude he was.

He was even rude to his wife at the end. She was talking to the daughter about the piano lessons and he keeps harping about the way he has to have things.

I got a kick how each mother called the other rude because they had the audacity to critcize their family. You asked for it!!!

Yeah I figured something like this on TV would be on, but I wasn't expecting the straight woman to say being gay is a birth defect. Way to make a fool of yourself on national (and international, I'm watching in Canada) television.

Oh, I did think the elder daughter was a diva for demanding her sister to make some tea!

She didn't even say please or thank you.

You know what makes me sad about this show is that the people seem to have so little self awareness. You'd think watching yourself (and have everyone know watching too) would make you sit up and think a little about your actions? Apparently not, if the "darksided" lady is back and still on the warpath.

Exactly!! Honestly, she's in it for the money, I don't think they care what they seem like on TV, they are in it for the $50,000.

What did you think of how they divided up the money for the family?

Probably a "Are you sick of being gay?" thing that can magically change your sexuality. No, I'm just kidding and a little bitter.

hehe....isn't that show great! it's like- no matter how dysfunctional or weird your family is- your family always looks normal compared to the rediculious people on there

/ Man, that Abasi dude needs a swift kick in his rear!!!! So does Ashley- the "god warrior's" daughter

/ Geesh- and next week's episode looks juicy too!!! I can't wait to see it!

Oh and what made tonight even more hilarious- i waked in the door from work to find Colin, Fosters, and Kolar curled up on the couch watching Nanny 911 before Wife Swap came on

Hehe, i have got him hooked on those shows too

Y'all better be ready for what I'm gonna say in one week's time about this episode!

It's on! At least I think it is... I missed the first ten minutes.

The "homophobic" woman doesn't like Mexicans either.

Nah, not a big fan of that show, sorry.

My favorite show is American Idol.

Moz · Feb 2, 2007

I'm pretty much talking to myself but when they showed next week's episode and Julie said "it was so bad, it was like being held hostage", I couldn't believe it! That is a giant load of BS. She treated Pepper so badly that she should be the one crying and melting down, NOT Julie! I can't believe there's such close minded people like her in this world. She has no compassion for anyone.

That woman was so OUT OF LINE if I were Pepper I would have slapped her

Who wouldn't??

I love these shows. They are always hilarious, because there is always one person you just feel sorry for, one who is totally crazy, one you hate, and one who's boring.

It's seemed like most people involved do get something out of it. Like loosen up a bit, or learn how to discipline the kids, or that the dad should actually be involved in their families.

I think God Warrior crazed woman is delusional. She has probably, sadly, gotten tons of letters of support telling her she's totally right and that Unitarians (from the first show) really are the work of Satan, etc... and she ignores all the letters that she doesn't like. When you have a mindset like that, where you think you are more heroic the more you are victimized, you can act like that and think it's okay. She reminds me alot of a girl I knew in high school who would do stupid things like wear t-shirts that said "Heaven isn't for everyone. Only Christians." on it and think she got points for making people upset.

I am so sad I missed that episode. God Warrior lady was what got me started watching the show. I've never seen anything like it up close and personal.

So would I! I felt soooo bad for Pepper. Next week's continuation should definitely be an interesting one!

gemlady · Feb 2, 2007

I kept thinking that Oregon mom had a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth! She would not stop the insulting commments.

And if she hated Mexicans so much, why was the family eating at a Mexican restaurant?

Have you seen her website? She has a flippin' CD! Although I think she is a bit goofy ("Psychics! Gargoyles!"), I liked her better than Abasi.

I haven't heard that term used before.
