Trading Spouses 11/9 spoilers

According to a co-worker, the other family lives in Lincoln, Ma. Evidentally there’s one of those remote connections – too many ‘friend of a sister-in-law’s haircutter’ steps to keep straight. Anyway, she seemed absolutely positive on the location.

Lincoln, if anyone is interested, is an upper-middle class white-bread suburb of Boston, basically smack in the middle of the most liberal area of the most liberal state.

Did she ever explain the phantom smell that made her puke?

I couldn’t believe it during Fundie Woman’s argument with Chris when she said something like, “I have been nice this whole time, but I won’t be passive anymore!”

Lady, when were you passive? You did nothing but complain and reject any outside thinking. You ran and hid during the solstice celebration. You freaked when a psychic came and were extremely rude to him when he was nothing but nice to you. You were nothing but a boil on the butt of that family, and they were glad to be rid of you.

“Believe in God! Believe in Jesus! Believe believe believe! You’re all going to Hell!”

“Ever try astrology?”

“Stop shoving your Satanic ways down my thoat!”

The Fox website bio says they live in Boxborough, MA.

Is there a video clip of this meltdown anywhere?

Yeah, that’s what they said on the local Fox affiliate last night. They had a short interview with the other mom, who had just seen the footage the night before. She was shocked at the looniness of it.

Ah here we go

And that’s just a short snippet of a much longer freakout, astro. It just kept going.

Agreed. That clip did her Mommy’s-Gone-Crazy Moment no justice. If you can, find and watch the entire episode. It was awesome.

A friend of hers who is defending her on the show’s website said it was the toilet backing up - but this friend also said Margaritte (or however she spells her name) was a totaly rational and nice person who was manipulated by Fox Television into seeming nutso.

TV

Well, I can totally understand the power of television present a person in a bad light. I myself could be made to look aloof and condescending with proper editing.

(Who does she think she is kidding. Fox couldn’t have made her look that crazy if they didn’t have the raw material, even if they had Andy Serkis to do the motion studies…)

Not schizophrenic, but I would be willing to bet she suffers (and makes everyone around her suffer, too) from narcissitic or histrionic personality disorder. I feel sorry for her and much sorrier for her family.

You just put a bizarre image in my head, and I don’t know whether to laugh or be horrified. Or both.

“Filthy hobbitses are not CHRISTIAAAAAAANS!”

Thank you for that website! Rejected Cartoons is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks!
