The BAFTA-winning Wife Swap returns with a brand new series. Sparks fly as two wives from radically different families swap places for two weeks. It’s not just the wives that need to get used to a new family, but the husbands and children are given a wake-up call too as they have to adapt to new house routines. Packed with suspense, Wife Swap gets right to the heart of the way we live and lifts the lid on the choices different people make about how to live their lives: people’s spending priorities, what they expect of their partners of an evening, how they divide up the parenting, the shopping, the housework, how much or how little they go out, what role food plays in their lives, and what they want from their social lives.
Each wife arrives in their new home and has a chance to get accustomed to their surroundings before their new family arrive. Aided only by an instruction manual left by their predecessor, they must spend their first week living according to the rules of the original wife. However, during their second week the wives are allowed to run their new households as they see fit. Fascinating viewing!

Obviously you have no clue about TV Woody thats what you are a woody
Hey Just quickly i didn't think Oliver was overly skinny.....
Oliver... what an arrogant, small minded man! and phuong is just a weak little sheep! Those poor little girls have no direction or have been taught any social skills. what if they get criticised for being racially different when they get older? and how about a sandwhich for dinner? well i guess it's better than NOTHING!! how rude and thoughtless. I praise Ellen for her confidence to stand up to phuong and sticking up for her family. GO GIRL!!
the clean freak family what a bunch of try hards, i mean seriously they are head cases, the dad was an idiot and the mother was a sheep who is really a clone. i feel so sorry for there children, they will be mentally unstable when they grow up, what a sad life to live and they say there happy......they dont even no what living a life full of happiness is. to the family with all the pets, what an amazing family you are.
the pet/untidy family were clearly not happy. to be super defensive, offensive, offended and swearing like that.. obviously shows they are miserable and unhappy
Loving the show!
OLIVER IS A RETARD !!!!!!!!!!!!
now you are being denigrating of autistic or intellectually challenged people. oliver is rude and arrogant, but by no means 'retarded' and christine is also rude and aggressive, but also by no means 'retarded'.
I totally agree!!!
could not stop laughing after the donkey comment. I really don't know how she lasted so long in that house i would have said something the minute those kids called me fat. I'm no master chief but healthy food is better than next to no food those poor children really hope no one comments on their appearance at school. Did anyone else think mr judgmental was a little pudgy just saying lol
and big-boned christine was not being judgmental by equating a sports car with a small *****, or mein kampf in a large home library with being a nazi? the amount of Dedes family members and friends logging onto this site and leaving comments are soooo obvious. They are IGNORING the exact same behaviour that is occurring in BOTH families!
I totally agree with you Amy.
Seriously, a little pudgy? All 3 of the older kids were F.A.T. Phuong was far too kind to them.
Having watched life Style's Wife Swap (EP5) earlier this evening, I ask myself Why? In truth the Asian woman was only telling it as it is. The girls were/are a bit on the tubby side (I am being kind) Plus I don't think that for one moment the Asian woman intended to be unkind either, she is Asian and Asian's do tend to comment quite freely on a persons weight. It's not uncommon for them to greet a friend who may have stashed on a bit of weight by saying "AHYA, SO FAT LAH. No offence is really intended. Lets face it, a size 12-14 is considered to be outsize to them. We are generally, like it or not, of a much larger stature. As for parenting skills, neither couple seemed to have quite got things together?
Asain people can say what they want and have their own opinions all they want.... in their own country!This is Australia, and we come in all shapes, sizes, colours etc. so they can adapt to our life and appearance or just shut up and go home if they have a problem with us!

I don't think you should make excuses for her behaviour. It IS judgmental and of course Asian people don't understand why it can be so hurtful, because its mostly not an issue for them, racially. Oliver wasn't exactly trim by the way! They can't be talking about diet when all those two little girls eat is sandwiches or toasted sandwiches. Both families were not making good dietary decisions and yet Phuong felt the need to focus on that as her improvement, whereas she should be looking a bit closer to home. You can still have many, many health issues if you're not overweight, and those two little girls really have no chance. Phuong just kept laughing awkwardly when saying something stupid, instead of a) trying to see it from their point of view and b) apologizing sincerely for her insensitivity. You're not overweight, are you carol?
The ep on now, one of the wives kept suing the "F" word and they didn't beep it out! That really annoyed me!!!! So not happy with Wife Swap Australia!
I agree with Annabelle , no need for notably to be so rude. I've got 2 young children 10 and 12 and I wouldn't let them watch that Episode because of the swearing. Ellen
I prefer them NOT to beep the swear words, so you can actually hear the conversation! I suppose you liked Oliver too?
Jackson's v's Dalys: Poor overweight kids. Where is child protective services?? They are doing so much damage to their children by feeding an over protecting them. Poor Boo, I wish I could take her home to show her she is beautiful without buying her live with food! Urgh I really hope there is a change in those children's diets.
Russel the love mussel :)->
I'm not going to make excuses for the rich wife as she had issues too, but Wtf is going on with you Pete? I'm sure you are a nice person, but you don't contribute anywhere near enough to the household. My husband wouldn't DARE do as little as you. Some days I do most of the housework and childcare, other times my hubby does. We work as a team and do not keep score of what each other do. If it needs to be done, it gets done. Yopur poor wife has put up too much of your childishness and ***. Get a JOB, not a casual one where you may get called in for 3 days a month! Get real. you couldn't even hold down a job for longer than 3 days. Judging by your very childish lyrics and your guitar work, the music should definitely be taking a back seat in life as a hobby. If you haven't made it in the big time yet, you are not likely to. Do you really want your kids to grow up and leave home remembering you as things are? I'm on the rich wife's side on this one. My hubby works full time and yes I work part time, and having a spotless house and a productive lifestyle is very important to me, but NEVER at the expense of spending time with my kids. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but there needs to be a balance. And Pete, if you are home all day, why is yopur poor daughter doing YOUR parenting jobs? Being at home all day, there is no excuse for you to not spent time with the kids and get all the housework done and dinner cooked before your wife gets home. If my hubby and I can do that for each other, why can't you? By the way, your wife probably doesn't enjoy cooking half as much as you say she does- she simply knows that she has to cook dinner or her 2 beautiful children will starve because you are too ****ing LAZY to do anything you don't want to. Isn't it time to GROW UP???
That snobby, rich, clean freak, is a total ***! She thinks she is better than everybody else and so sad for her girls that all their lives are about just cleaning and obeying orders, poor kids! but in saying that, now my son realises how good he has it. but, Pete does need to get a job and license.
pete you and your wife were lovely
that tidy freak was such a *** she thought she was miss high and mighty but her foul mouth showed her true colors
If I had to live with a hubby like that in a house like that, I'd be driven to letting off a few cuss words too. She was trying to do the right thing bt the kids and the wife.
great show love the US one but at last we have our own to watch, I think the show
"THE FAMILY" should also be done around Pete's family
Love the song you sang pete about that neat freak lady i suggest you put it on youtube it's hilarious i would watch it a thousand times and still laugh LOL..... VOMIT!!!
Lyrics were very childish and not very imaginative. I would expect better from someone who refers to himself in the episode as a 'professional'. Sure Piper laughed at first, but even she was over it way before Pete had finished. What more is left to say about Pete?
gonna rob the rich fukkers place
It's more about money than it is the families, that rich lady was a complete snob.
