4. Well, I don't normally watch television... regular, BUT this is great!
I think it should be made mandatory! LoL What a hoot to have people who are barely getting by.. errrr surviving day to day... exchange places with those who live the high life!

REALITY CHECK ANYONE!?~?!? I am the FIRST to hate reality TV!

3. Dave Chapelle did this spoof of Trading Spaces, complete w/identical title
before FOX created this 'original' 'masterpiece'.

Chappelle's Show had much more fun with the concept... O8)

Light saber, LOL!

5. I had seen Trading Spaces before I moved from regular TV...
because I was into home decorating, but, IMO, this is true REALITY!!! I LOVE IT!

You have a caucasian mom from a way, well to-do lifestyle moving to a black neighborhood and family who is not bad off, but just scraping by and well, you have TRUE reality!

I laughed my ass off at the white woman thinking they all owed her big time!

Interesting in the next week or so to see the end result of what each will do with $50k for each family!

Sorry, but I think it's good and I'm not usually impressed by such as this.

:shrug:

7. Okay, so have I missed something here?
:shrug: Honestly, I thought this was a true reality check up on the high enders versus the survivalists in real life and it wasn't looking too good for the high end woman!!!!

8. The spoiled, rich, clueless, white botch was soooo irritating.
This was on a couple of weeks ago too.

To be fair though, a week is getting edited down to an hour or two. They can paint ANYONE in a bad light with that time-line.

Thanks for your input!

10. The show's a guilty pleasure for me too.
Sometimes the facial expressions captured are priceless.

And I loved the working class mother doing the puzzle with her "son-for-a-week." That was sweet.

11. I watched last week, while recovering from a sinus infection
bored and medicated but I was actually pulled in by it. I thought the woman from California was gonna totally piss off her new family but they liked her, it was the Mass. mom in Cali that was a righteous terror. Kinda neat too that the Cali mom listened to what her other family wanted and rewarded them justly.
