where's ANTM?!?

ok so seriously I'm really pissed off right now. I just wrote an entire blog and when I hit post, there was an "error" on Blogger and it conveniently deleted my blog. So I'm going to just give a little recap about my blog but it probably won't be as good or as detailed as the original was. Well tonight I sat down to turn on America's Next Top Model for the newest episode and instead I found that there was a stupid basketball game on instead!!! What the F?! So instead I was sucked into watching WifeSwap. In case you've never seen WifeSwap, the basis is that they take two wives from completely different families around the country and swap them with another family that has a completely different style of living.

The episode that I watched tonight dealt with two very different families. One family had a mother that worked all day while her husband did all the chores around the house. She was a very cold woman who prided herself in not showing too much emotion. She never showed emotion to her four children and made sure they were very self-sufficient. They were all very intelligent and in turn thought everyone else was ignorant. The second family was a down-south country family with a wife who thought the woman's place was in the home taking care of her family. She believed that her husband was the provider and that her role was to do anything and everything for him and their children.

In the end, the women learned a lot from swapping families. The first mother learned that she should be more affectionate and in touch with her emotions. She learned that her husband could also work and that she could pitch in with work around the house. The second wife learned that she was no one's slave and that she shouldn't let her family take advantage of her. It's really interesting to just see how other people live their lives. It's crazy to think that there are actually people out there that live like this. But I guess this is a good example that there is always hope that someone can change.

love America’s Next Top Model! When VH1 had that supermodelthon, I was glued to the TV for an entire weekend. I love the clothes and photo shoots that they have, unfortunately my TV is busted so I haven’t been able to keep up with it.
