I'm so proud of y'all!!!  I hope they don't make you wear panty hose and heels for a week. Even if her kids are horrible, just keep smiling and don't let it get to you...after all you get to come back to the homestead (and to all of us!) and she's stuck in the city.
Is the door lock and gun thing to protect her from your hubby or to protect your kids from her?

Wow! Where have I been? This is so exciting!
They'll probably use what they learned in the interviews to make sure you get swapped with your complete polar opposite. For the sake of entertainment, they'll probably stir the pot a little. No matter what happens, you can't come off worse than that crazy lady who tore up the money and cast all the unholy people out of her house at the end 
Good luck! Keep us posted!

Yeah, did they specify which way the lock had to be put on? Maybe if she gets too whiney, your family could put her in time out...

There is more than 1 wife-swap show. One of them the swap lasts for 1 week. Another one it's for 2 weeks. The 2 week one is the one that pays $50,000 but the wives determine how the money will be spent for the other family.

That's the idea. They swap them with the most opposite family they can find. Like when they swapped the atheist family with the fundamental Christian family. That was a really good one!

I think that's the first one I saw. I was paying bills and had it on in the back ground. I heard someone screaming and I looked up and saw that lady freaking out I think at the radio station. Reminded me of how I grew up. I went into temporary panic attack because I thought I was back at home for a split second, not kidding. but after I was over that I thought the show was pretty funny. Felt so sorry for her daughters though at the end when she came home and started verbally attacking them and her husband as well.

I would NOT do that to any of my goats!!! NO way - unless there was a back up person to do the milking properly in a timely fashion after she failed.
I couldnt possibly do something like this because we have WAY too many animals that must be properly cared for. My kids can do most of the feeding and watering (with supervision!), and are great helps when I milk our 15 goats twice a day, but they can NOT do it alone.
Good luck to you!

lol I was kidding (sort of ) ark.
and yes, I have been assured that they will make sure all is ok w/ the animals. They have a liability if something goes wrong too remember, so they don't want anything to happen either.

Congrats, TCA! This is too cool!
Now, I have this picture of your "family for a week" in my mind... Sort of a Green Acres thing... They send Lisa Douglas to your homestead, and YOU get sent to a penthouse apartment on 5th Avenue, with staff -- a maid, a butler... 
Could be fun, eh?
Best of luck to you! Let us know when it airs -- I'll actually watch TV for this!

Yes, they have strict laws about that. They have to have animal experts (on call or on the set, not sure). The animals DO get taken care of properly or else ABC would get in some really big trouble.

Good luck - here's wishing for your new barn!
