What a fantastic opener to the new series! Chav wife is slotted into Christian prison guard's family. Christian prison guard's wife is slotted into chav family. :lol:
It's amazing how different parents are in raising their children. It was hilarious listening to the intelligence-challenged chav wife trying to justify why fighting and swearing is not only alright for kids, but also good for them :o~:-o~:eek: :lol:
A few scenes later and we see her struggling to swipe an entry card for what looked like the first time ever in her life :lol:
Couldn't believe the way she spoke to the prison officer in the pub too. Hurling abuse and foul language, left, right and centre. Even called him a c images/smiley_icons/censored.gif :o~:-o~:eek:
Great confrontation between the two couples at the end too :clap: :lol:
Great television :thumbup: :D~:-D~:grin:

Had to laugh first thing the one wife checked when she saw her kids was did they have lice.
I have to admit I thought the common wife was awful.

Isn't that the tiniest bit predictable though? Two blokes get a taste of good wife and bad wife. Both blokes almost certainly want good wife. Bloke married to good wife becomes more attentive to his wife's needs and such.
Bloke married to bad wife files for divorce, probably telling the lazy bitch to http://www.avtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiley_icons/censored.gif the hell off etc. etc.

I can't believe that Spike guy allowed the chav wife to call him those names and insult his children in the pub without responding in any way. OK, he took the moral high ground but he should have said something to her.
I get the feeling that her life is so insular that she just swears and insults people as, usually, it makes no real difference to anyone else. She admitted herself she wouldn't even be able to pay a bill or catch a train by herself (a claim I was dubious of until I saw her trying to use a swipe card) and never leaves the house on her own.
I know you shouldn't laugh, I know it's a result of poor parenting and I know the kid will end up a mess in later life because of it but just how funny was that little Tommy Lee kid? :lol:
'http://www.avtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiley_icons/censored.gif off' :lol: :lol:
Isn't that the tiniest bit predictable though?
My thoughts excatly. I loved the first series,but watching last night was a definite case of deja-vous.
A bit of variety in the couples differences would be nice rather than the now predictable total opposites, plus at this stage I am starting to get the feeling that some of the women are aware of the publicity that the show can generate and are playing to the cameras.
Having said all that I will be tuning in again next week :D~:-D~:grin:

Wife Swap seems to almost acknowledge the fact in the way the trail and preview coming episodes - it is that whole 'Oooooh! That's bound to kick off' feeling, created by the whole think being put together by very clever researchers who know just what their audience want to see.

Interesting. Obviously different people want different things out of life, you have all these people running around with their annoying insecurities and quite often their choice of partner reflects them.
I wonder what kind of insecurity you have to have in order to want a lardy, mouthy slag for a wife though :lol:

You mean like Rod Stewart? Surely he's just getting the blondes in because he can? :lol:
Put it another way, if there is some standard attractive woman let's call her woman B, and you have the choice of woman A (all round less attractive) or woman C (more attractive than B), which are you going to pick. In this case I'm hypothesising that woman B does not actually exist, and that there are only those above and below the average (not much of a stretch I would imagine).
I think you'd have to be more insecure to go for A over C.

But there is a psychological arguement that says if you were wholly secure about your own attractiveness, you would simply go for the person who's personality you found most endearing.

I've always assumed it was jealousy on the part of those who couldn't get a trophy wife w)
Seriously though, anyone who would endorse such a theory would have to be so completely in the dark about human psychology as to make me wonder where they were born (in an astronomical sense ;)~;-)~:wink: ).
Men certainly are primarily visual creatures, we judge prospective partners on their physical appearance first. In most cases it would take an extreme personality (acceptable/unacceptable) to sway our decision, because of the huge visual dominance. It is implied therefore that men who are not as visually dominated are abnormal.
Or maybe I'm just really shallow :lol:
juboy
30-06-2004, 02:18 PM
But maybe the underlying reason we are so focussed on obtaining that which everyone else covets (partners who are accepted as the majority to be good looking) is because we're using it to paper over our own insecurities and exploit those of others?

That's a much higher level of thinking than merely "she's hot" and "she's not".
Or converseley, I want to go out with girls I think are good looking. The majority of guys would seem to agree with me on who they find attractive, but their opinion is not a factor I consider, at least not consciously.

Therein lies the real heart of the matter - even blokes who claim to only fancy, er, left of centre looking girls tend, when others look at those girls, to still like clearly attractive girls.
I don't honestly think humans are capable of knowing why they find someone attractive (there are too many factors, compiled over too long a period), only that they do find them attractive.
I still think there's an arguement that says that somebody who's very secure in their own level of attractiveness will be more likely to choose a partner based on personality and traits other than looks. After all, accepted wisdom says we go for characteristics that we'd like to pass on to our offspring - so if you're already pretty confident you're going to bestow good looks on them, maybe other attributes become more desirable? Which may go some way to explaining the 'is she really going out with him' phenomena :)~:-)~:smile:

Although, to be fair, where does the single Mum think the money comes from in order for youth clubs to be built, equipped, staffed and run?
I thought they were all decent people in their own way and it was a shame that it all turned so bitter in the final few minutes.
That said, the single lady seemed a bit too intent on constantly doing good and helping others at the expense of her own family's obvious needs. You got the feeling she'd be out offering other kids career advice and support whilst her own 20 year old sat around at home jobless.
Squirrelecto
07-07-2004, 07:03 AM
My comment about her head stuck up her arse was more about Rich Wife thinking Poor Wife must be a prostitute just because she finishes work at 11pm at night. She seemed to hold a lot of contempt and prejudice for those who weren't as fortunate as herself, and keeping a tidy home is all well and good but a hell of a lot easier to do when you don't have to work. Regardless of whether they want to spend time "giving back to society" or not, spending all that time obsessing each day about having a perfectly clean house is such a waste of time - Rich Wife's days could've been filled with many interesting activities/hobbies but both her and her husband were trapped in a very blinkered mindset. At the same time, Poor Wife's house was a mess and needed sorting, and her kids were going off the track somewhat (though not as much as Chav Wife's kids from the previous week), probably due to mum not being around at those key times of the days.
As Geezer said, both wives had some redeeming qualities. Both lacked balance, however, so they ended up being almost complete opposites. Rather than pick up something from each other and "meet halfway" (which is maybe what the programme makers had envisaged), they ended up in conflict.
During the final confrontation at the end, I couldn't help but compare Poor Wife with Kitten from Big Brother, turning everything into a campaign. There was no need for her to keep going on like that. But at the same time, the Rich Couple were rather too quick to run away from anything they didn't like or understand, so certain were they that "their way" was infinitely right.
Bit worried about Geezer's MILF obsession :lol:

27-07-2004, 10:25 PM
As with most of these episodes you do feel that they both need to take on board a little of the other families lifestyle. I did think it was good how the unfit couple did start to exercise together as a family.
I had to laugh at the unfit woman. This family does too much exercise and spends too much time together, most amusing.
Have you noticed in almost every episode how the women in the final meeting always hate each other.

I missed it last night as I got so sick of the contrived and sensationalist nature of the previous programmes in this series. It sounds as though I perhaps missed the first decent episode; I agree with everything here, that each family seems to make no effort to take on board any of the ideas from the new 'wife', which has made a mockery of the conceit so far.
It just descended into another mess of 'Shouty TV' which is so tiresome. I am suffering from Reality TV overload and welcome the BBCs new autumn schedule which looks like the first step away from reality programming in a long while.
juboy
29-07-2004, 10:47 AM
TBH I think Wife Swap simply points out that whilst the vast majority of parents and families believe themselves to be 'normal', the reality is far from that. This seems to become apparent towards the end of the shows where the people involved often do start to question their lifestyle choices and often become angry when they realise they may not have been doing quite so well as they may have thought they were.
As an onlooker, it also really makes you wonder why some people ever have children in the first place.

Tuesday is such a great night for TV now
They are doing a germany/England wife swap this episode. They have picked the stereotypical council estate esque lazy scrubber british wife with a very dull organised german woman. The Britsh children are spoilt brats where the German kids are polite and well mannered.
I absolutely hate the fat slapper almost makes me ashamed to be English.
Husband works long hours in a factory yet has to cook and wash up. She does http://www.avtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiley_icons/censored.gif all goes out all night clubbing then expects to be picked up.

I thought last night's episode was quite good, although they did pick very stereotypical up-tight Germans and Chav Brits.
I liked the way everyone got on eventually and had the intelligence to accept that maybe be they could learn from others and apply their findings to enhancing their own lives.
The little British kid would have gotten an almighty smacking from me though, did you see him trying to destroy their house just because he wasn't allowed out?!?
I didn't like the way the Brit wife had a new Audi TT whilst her husband (the only one who seemed to do any work, at home or otherwise) only had a clapped out white van. Something wrong there I reckon.
And were those speakers they had next to their plasma from the new Kef Q series range? I couldn't quite see what they were and it was driving me mad :lol:

yes the comment about getting married abroad then paying for it over 2 years tends to indicate a credit culture. Saying that their house didn't look that nice so perhaps they have a very small mortgage and have a lot of disposable income

A lot of American Christians, at least those in the South, freak me out actually. I find them quite bizarre. Coming from someone who's Christian himself, I think that's saying something! :lol:
I don't know if you saw it Juboy, but after the incident was just as funny. The punk husband turned to the camera and asked the viewer what was so scary considering he was wearing dress shoes, slacks and a polo shirt. The only thing that was slightly unorthodox about him was the fact that he had his nose pierced and had dreadlocks (although he kept them in a cap) :roll: :lol:
They seemed like a really cool family actually, although, as is typical of the show, some of their behaviour was a little extreme (less so in the case of the punk family). To their credit, both families changed a little for the better afterwards :thumbup:

When Ben Ofoedu said at the start that nothing lasts for ever and you've got to enjoy the freebies while they last, I couldn't help but take that as a comment on his relationship with Feltz. images/smiley_icons/talk022.gif
The more the show went on, the more I found myself half agreeing with the Feltzes and half agreeing with the Daniels. They both had positive and negatives caused by being just too extreme with their lifestyle direction and they both had some valid criticisms of the other.
Feltz lost a few additional marks though for bitching and gossiping about them on the radio while at the same time wondering why Paul Daniels wouldn't open up to her .... :roll:

It was a good episode, even if the couples' bickerings were somewhat (literally) overshadowed by Feltz's daughter's chest.

Channel 4 is stepping into a religious minefield again by signing up a strict Muslim woman for its life- switch series Wife Swap.

Why did the Pakistani family bother going on Wife Swap? They're sleeping in a hotel and have forced the other wife to sleep in a hotel as well!

Best TV of the year so far was when the Muslim mother turned to the swap daughter and said:
"Now, you know it was wrong and disrespectful to stay out at your girlfriends all night don't you?"
"Yes, I do realise it was wrong and I'm sorry"
"Good. Now, while we're at it, you really shouldn't be a lesbian you know, that's wrong too"
:lol: :lol: :lol:
I love the contradiction that Islam throws up for all the leftie do-gooders in this country... 'Hmmm, now, I must support the Muslims because they're a minority but, ooops, they hate gays and women'.

Sadly, disdain for gays is far from limited to Muslims.
