Atheist "swaps" wife with Christian pastor African-American atheist "swaps wife" with white Christian home-schooling pastor. On ABC now. Let's watch.
That show reminds me of Blind Date taken to a ridiculous extreme. Next week, a cat and a mouse swap partners, let's tune in!

The show looks stupid but it has it's moments. I would say it is closer to Stanley Milgram than Blind Date. I saw the trailer for this one, should be a whopper.

That dude embarrassed himself, and all of us, by crying like that.

Let's watch.

let's not, and take note of how life continues just fine without watching.

wife swap is a truly terrible program, in every sense of terribleness.

which is why I watch it, lapin..

my impression was that the atheist wife had basically checked out.

And that it was a big giant setup, nothing "real".

This is something that involves TV, right? Don't you know that watching TV makes you stupid? Ask any stupid person if they watch TV. They'll say yes. Why is this? It's because TV makes you stupid. The more TV you watch, the stupider it makes you.

No, I don't want to hear that you only watch "good TV" and the nature shows. Watching nature shows on TV is really stupid.

Did I mention that watching TV makes you stupid?....

*repeat until the person who wants to talk about watching TV runs screaming from the room*

You've just had a taste of my patented "I don't want to have to listen to you tell me about watching TV" rant. It's been honed through years of practice into a razor-sharp instrument of torture.

Eating food makes you stupid because stupid people eat food.

Watching tv does make you stupid, however if your goal is to become more stupid, then it is much better and less painful than striking yourself in the temple with a tack hammer, plus almost everyone has a tv and who the fuck has a tack hammer?

I am way too smart for my own good.

That dude was the biggest wimpiest puss I have ever seen in my life. Some fucking rock ribbed God denying atheist radio show host that bugs out because the lady argues with him about God.

Those people gave me a depression, the holy rollers too, but mostly because of the washing the mouth out with soap and the Dad who only talked about god. At least the kids got to go outside.

Also that show gives me the creeping willies, I am edging over from interesting trainwreck to avoid please.

And the producers don't even show you the most evil parts of what they do.

Oh, and warbaby, if you think watching TV makes you stupid, try making it...

Well I come from a documentary film making family and even though those docs were always made in a formal and fairly rigid verite way, there was plenty of manipulation, fancy editing and leading questions used to get the footage needed. So I can only imagine what goes on when all those self-imposed constraints are lifted and there is actually an expectation that the show will make money.
