Name of Show: "Wife Swap"
Network: ABC
When It’s On: Monday nights at 8 pm (EST)
Premise: Each week, from across the country, two families are chosen with very different values. In a two week-long challenge, the wives from these two families exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover what it's like to live a very different woman's life. It's a mind-blowing experiment that will change their lives forever.
As if spending two weeks with a new family weren't demanding enough, in the first week the wives must abide by the departing wife's house rules, which cover everything from parenting to shopping, social life to budgeting. But in week two the rules change dramatically, as the wives are given the power to run their new household their way! With the new family required to abide by the new rules, the results are explosive, revealing, riveting-and often very funny.
The two couples are then reunited, and all four participants meet for the first time in a highly-charged exchange of views, making frank assessments of each other and sharing what they learned from the experience. (Source: ABC)
From Your Guide: I adore this show! ABC did an excellent job selecting couples to participate in each episode. The wives who exchange lives always have completely different lifestyles and values. It's fun to watch what happens when their lives collide.
