Oh, man...tonight's show is one of the funniest things I've seen on television in a LONG time.
Jeanne D'Amico-Flisher (liberal wife) and Marguerite Perrin (good "christian") traded homes and families for a while to win a prize of $50,000. The contrast between the MA "liberals" and the deep south "God fearing (and "FEARING" is the operative word, here) christians" was stark, and worth the price of admission (free) alone.
Read on, the punch line is worth it. I promise.
The "liberals" actually went to church with Margaret, because they wanted to make their guest comfortable. The guest was happy "now that things are going MY way." NO resistance was tolerated. EVERYTHING was high drama.
Meanwhile, the "liberal" wife took a young girl out shopping and told her to pick out things that she wanted to wear, told her they looked good on her, and in general made her feel good about herself. Like a loving mom with her daughter.
At the end of the show they had to write a letter to each other, telling them how they'd like to see $50,000 spent.
The "good christian" wife gave the "liberal" kids money for a new drier, a dirt bike, some fun stuff, and left $35,000 to spend "as you see fit". Not bad, really.
Then she went home and tore up the letter to her from the "liberal" wife. She made quite the scene, calling everyone "darksiders" and telling the camera crew to "leave my home", "in JESUS name I pray!" Then she threw the pieces of the letter out the front door, commanding everyone to leave "unless you believe in JESUS!" (They stayed.) "I don't want this money! It's TAINTED! She's not a CHRISTIAN!!!" with her voice rising to a shriek at the end. Her whole family sat there with their mouths wide open. It looked to me like they couldn't believe what they were seeing and hearing.
Then the scene faded to the following words:
"Here's how (liberal wife) dispursed the $50.000...
$5000 for one daughter to get her dance certificate.
$10,000 for two of the daughters to get their own place.
$15,000 for the husband to spend on the family.
and...
$20,000 for Margaret to get that gastric bypass surgery she's always wanted."
The words faded away...
Then these words faded onto the screen:
"...after further reflection Margaret decided to accept the money."
There's a little video of Margaret at the end of the show here.
If this is ever run again, watch it. (And try to forget the punchline. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.)
