Colonel Zoidberg 3645 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 01-11-08, 12:12 PM (EST) "1/9/2008 - pranksters vs drill sergeants" Again, I went into it with my usual mantra: "They're both idiots." I'm all for discipline, but the Ohio family was over-the-top, and I'm a little surprised the kids didn't take to calling the parents "Warden." Terry made virtually no effort to relate to his stepkids, instead just coming in like an unwanted new regime and taking over. Having well-behaved kids who want to do chores and stay in shape is all well and good. Having well-behaved kids who are motivated by fear and overcome with resentment doesn't work. Seeing them actually lighten Terry's spirits was the biggest victory for this family. The other family...wow. Yes, Patrick needed an eye-opener. I thought he would never change. He reminded me, at first, of Judd from Survivor: Guatemala, with his butchering of the English language, his belligerence, and his standoffish behavior and stubborn refusal to change. If he had made a reference to scumbags or ADD, I wouldn't know what show I Was watching. Especially after the last show, where neither family was as bad as the Missouri family, but neither one changed all that much, I wasn't expecting a happy ending, and I certainly wasn't expecting Patrick to do a complete 180. What I don't get is this - why is it that, even after both Patrick and Terry turned themselves around, there appeared to be a lot of tension and bull-headedness at the table meeting? I wonder if that's just drummed up for effect...   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

More than likely drummed up for effect. I hate it-when it all ends well and good, and everyone seems to have come away with something valuable, then POW! They go at it at the table. Makes no sense. Hello, reality tv! Gotta love it!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: 1/9/2008 - pranksters vs drill sergeants" I think the hostility flares at the table meeting due to each pair of spouses telling eachother what the rule changes were, or if the swapped Mom required the family to do something offensive to the real Mom. She can be offended and defensive to the rule changes. Then, if either of the Dads were rude to the swapped Mom, the husband's testosterone kicks in and they feel the need to defend their wives, so once again, tempers flare. Believe me, the table meeting is NOT drummed up hype, it's a very real dynamic!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
