Can I swap DH for Dave Grohl?

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 13/11/2011 17:17

Oh, I love Wifeswap. But you'd have to be very, very dim to go on it, surely? How could you not know that you'd be swapped with someone with madly opposing views and edited to look like a loon?

I think a fair few have been on CDWM. And some MNetters must have been on property shows, statistically we all should have been on four each by now.

BumWiper · 13/11/2011 17:18

Only if I can have Johnny Depp.

BumWiper · 13/11/2011 17:20

there was a poster who had been on wife swap i am sure. It was quite a contravertial one and there ws alot of discussion about it on here then she came along to set the record straight.

will have a think and look around, it was about 2 years ago i think.

BumWiper · 13/11/2011 17:22

snowchains that is ringing bells with me also.

I have never wanted to be on a TV show but have recently harboured a desire to go on The Cube Blush

BumWiper · 13/11/2011 17:25

Oh brill,thanks Snow.
I would make a pretty dismal episode.Nothing ever happens.

I remember the one with the mother sat at the computer all day and the poor baby being feed crisps for breakfast.I cried for that poor little girl.

SnowChains · 13/11/2011 17:27

I am sure there was something about her being on her laptop all day. It is all very vague though.

Her husband also came on to post stuff.

If it wasn't wife swap I cannot think what else it was.

This will bug me all evening you realise!

SnowChains · 13/11/2011 17:27

oh crossed posts, yes bum i think it was her!!!

cheesesarnie · 13/11/2011 17:28

i remember that,it was so funny.dont know if it was wifeswap though

cheesesarnie · 13/11/2011 17:29

p.s-johnny depps mine,hands off bum!

SnowChains · 13/11/2011 17:29

oh wasn't it.

I have also got a memory of a blond woman who had step children I think and her husband came on here to set the record straight.

Oh god am so confused now.

BumWiper · 13/11/2011 17:30

Oh pity I wasnt around then.How could she defend feeding a baby crisps for breakfast?Wasn't she caught then for benefit fraud?

BumWiper · 13/11/2011 17:33

cdwm = come dine with me

AgentZigzag · 13/11/2011 17:37

I think the worst wife swap was the 'celeb' one with the disgusting pig that is John Mccririck.

My mind is vomiting at the thought of him in bed in his underpants, poor, poor mind for that memory Sad

Mind you, his wife was swapped with Edwina Curry, who despite also being pretty bad did try to give him a rocked up his arse Grin

AgentZigzag · 13/11/2011 17:39

I had to google what CDWM was, I got it mixed up with CDUK, which I've never watched I'd like to point out Grin

pissedrightoff · 13/11/2011 17:40

Am sure the one you are thinking of was about 3 years ago as I was pg with DD,(who is now 2.4) The blond woman who plumped couch cushions daily even though no-one was allowed to sit on sofa vs larger dark haired lady who left baby in cot for ages in the morning and then sat playing online bingo whilst smoking (at least that is how it was edited to look)

Am sure the dark haired lady was pg at the end of filming.

Psammead · 13/11/2011 17:41

I know someone who was on wifeswap.

It did not show her in a flattering light. And was completely accurate

Takver · 13/11/2011 17:42

No, although I know someone who has (didn't see the programme though, it was before I knew him). He and his DP are now separated though I don't know if Wife Swap was to blame!

Where I used to live (intentional community) they used to ring us up literally once a month and hassle for someone to take part until I was deputed to take the next call and be very, very rude to them Grin
