Wife Swap: Little Angels With Dirty Mouths

Most episodes of Wife Swap feature one strict family and one lenient family for purposes of creating drama. The strict families tend to be uptight about most things, but on last night's episode, the mother of the strict family, Terry, was revealed to be a saleswoman for "romance enhancements" (she sells vibrators and lube to women at parties). And although she has a somewhat dirty career for an average suburban mom, she despises dirty language — particularly when spoken by children. Such was the case with Autumn, the 10-year-old little girl in the family that sex-toy-shilling Terry is mothering for two weeks. The kid is either a comedic genius or an evil psycho. You decide from the clip above.

Wife Swap: Dad Disrespects, Professes Love For Big Women

On last night's episode of Wife Swap, we got to meet a party animal repo man named Patrick, who pretty much is a composite of every goofy character Adam Sandler has ever played. He burps, farts, howls, has food fights with his children, plays video games, doesn't mind living in a messy home, and party-hops through his neighborhood in a golf cart. After "swapping wives", he ends up with a drill-sergeant type named Michelle whom he despises. He behaves worse than his 5-year-old son around her, insulting her with childish name-calling and repeatedly poking fun at how fat she is. (Note: His wife is just as, if not heavier, than Michelle.) After having an epiphany about his bad manners, he apologizes to Michelle, telling her that since he was 15, he's actually always been into large women. What a guy! Clip above.

Wife Swap: Adorable, Sarcastic "Screamo" Teen Makes Us Feel All Mary Kay Letourneau-y

A common theme on Wife Swap is that one family places an emphasis on traditional gender roles, while another family has a more unconventional approach as to the expected behavior of males and females. On last night's episode, teenage C.J. is a fan of "screamo" (I guess it's like emo but with screaming instead of whining), paints his nails, and wears his sister's jeans, much to the chagrin of his swapped mom, who raises her own son not to be a "sissy" by forcing him to be on the wrestling team. (Yeah, 'cause we all know how unhomoerotic wrestling matches are!) Needless to say, the two clash, but we'd have to say that C.J. is clearly the victor here.

Wife Swap: Terrifying Texas Mom Shows "Pansy" Husband Who's Boss

On last night's Wife Swap, a radio shock-jock mom from the Northeast traded places with a walking ashtray from Texas named Sue Ann, who doesn't stand for any B.S. like "pansy" househusbands who don't earn a living or know how to play catch with their sons. A man named Edward was the husband assigned to Sue Ann, and, although he was kind of a "pansy", she was an absolute loon who flew off the handle at every available moment. At one point, she began screaming in his face about how his wife is "nothing special". Clip above.

"Prude" Mom & "Slut" Mom Trade Places On Wife Swap

Last night on Wife Swap, a "sexy rocker mom" married to a "rocker caveman" traded places with an ex-military mother of two who owns her business, lives on a farm and is married to a house husband. Hilarity, of course, ensued. The military mom tried to teach the caveman dad about sexual objectification by making him do housework in a leather vest and bow tie, which clearly didn't work, as no one would want to objectify him, other than maybe a leather-daddy bear-type. The rocker mom tried to teach the house husband how to have a good time by demonstrating body shots at a biker bar. In the clip above you'll see the first and last minutes of the show. No other explanation is needed as to what went on in this episode.

What Would You Do If You Were Ditched For A Younger Woman?

Today's Mirror has some advice for women who find themselves traded in for a younger model — in love, at work, or by your kids. Unfortunately, the advice is pretty lame. If a man dumps you for a younger chick, says the paper, you're supposed to "focus on your own life and how to live it." Not exactly revolutionary! You're also advised to "spend time with friends, engage in activities you love and remind yourself that, if she's a lot younger than you, she won't get 90% of what he's talking about." Sigh. Is this really any consolation? At work, if you're replaced with someone younger, "there are age discrimination laws on your side" but also "keep learning, sign up for some relevant courses" because "it may be time to bring some new ideas to the table" and if all else fails, "take steps to find a career that really does inspire you." What if your career did inspire you? You're just out of luck? More »
