After watching last night i was thinking.What would be my worst fear about going on there.I think that the wife would show me up.She wouldn't spend loads of time on mums net and my house would be spotless.My dh would have good wholesome dinners waiting for him every night when he got home and the ironing pile would be no more.I would be out of a job and it would be discovered what a scatty unorganised wife I was

I asked dp last night what sort of women he thinks he might get if we were to be on it... he actually mamanged (for once) to be diplomatic and not answer.. which in itself is quite worrying!

I'm pretty sure I'd be replaced by a huge fat harridan who would scrub my front door step and wipe her fingers over my dust laden picture frames and call me a filthy lazy cow! They always use opposites to get a good-for-tv programme.

I'm far too flexible to make good TV. And of course you would get cleaners in for a deep clean befor the programme started filming!

I was soo interested cos I think I'm pretty middle of the road..

Well I think I'm pretty middle of the road and there's not much I wouldn't want them to know.

I reckon my polar opposite would be a slim, well groomed lady-who-lunches who goes to the gym regularly and drives a sports car. Someone who doesn't spend every hour of the waking day worrying about work, kids, what to cook for dinner, and how the hell she's going to meet that deadline.

Oh... and she'd also hear DS1 read on a regular basis

i reckon id be swapped for someone that loves going out every night and is filthy (my home is not immaculate but i would be disgusted by some of these ppls homes)

I would never, ever go on that show. I don't want some poxy broad in my home policing my kids.

We had the same conversation in our house last night too - I said that he might be lucky enough to get his tea before 6.30pm that week! He went very quiet, I suppose he thought saying nothing was a much safer option than actually replying!.

I was quite shocked that the wife from Scotland ripped into the 'pink' wife and was quite a bitch, she had said nothing of the sort on camera!

Scotland wife said "I looked behind your sofa and it was filthy". Pink wife said "we'd just had a party". I'd hazard a guess that behind my sofa is vile because I haven't got time to pull all the furniture out and clean behind on a weekly basis! I am sure that my swap would think I was a mucky bitch, and she'd probably be right .

The drink thing really shocked me - the 9 year old drinking ! Regularly! Alcopops as well! Ohmigod! Agree with Browny that they were really ungenerous about each other when both of them seemed to have moved forward quite a bit after the swap. Perhaps they were OK in real life though, and it was just the way the film was edited.
