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.
