I don't see what was so fun about that show. Replace Dee and his crew with a different family and who here woulda watched more than 5 minutes and thought it was any good? Pretty boring to say the least. Wife Swap just blows in general.
Hi Jaysin--
I actually HATE Wife Swap...I don't watch it. I watched for the same reason everyone else here did. You asked "what was so fun?" so I'm going to give you a serious answer...this is what was fun about it for me.
First, I loved seeing the still shots of Dee with his kids. There aren't a lot of those photos out there, and I really love to see photos of Dee (and anyone in the band, for that matter) in the days of their youth....esp when Dee is with his kids. It is special to me to see him with his family--no pretenses--just Dee with the kids. Love it.
Next....I love to see Dee and family just being themselves. His sons are absolutely hilarious--believe me, Cody knows the difference between a skillet and a colander. I can't be the only one that thought that was funny....and then of course, seeing them all sitting around being good sports and crocheting. I could NOT stop laughing. To see Dee on his chopper going out for a burger? well, I love that boring mundane stuff. Yes I do.
What I do not enjoy is watching people get upset-- watching Suzette have to deal with Flavor Flav, seeing how rude he was to her, seeing Suzette get pissed off....cry...I found that very hard to watch.
I really hate The Apprentice...but you can bet I'm going to watch every single episode if Dee is on it. I bought "Cities" because AJ drummed on it. I donate to charities that the band members support because it has a personal connection to them. If Mark opened up a sandwich shop, I'd be eating a lot more sandwiches.
Most people aren't watching Wife Swap because it deserves an Emmy. They watch because they enjoy seeing their favorite celebrities. |
