anybody catch it last night?
japanese plastic surgeon trades his blonde white wife for a black wife from a black family.
didn't really catch too much of it other than that the japanese plastic surgeon's wife was dumb as a rock and the stereotypical surgeon trophy wife.

the white woman was ugly. I think she was with the Japanese dude for the money. plus I think you could tell she was not about bout chilling with black people. the Japanese dude was cool as he was able to put up with the black womans fairly ignorant questions, but she didnt seem malicious in it, just kind of sheltered. she was nice tho.

she kept putting her foot in her mouth.
man. was she dumb.
and when the white lady's mother in law said "i feel like i have a friend"
about her "new" daughter in law.
i kinda interpreted it as "i hate my real daughter in law."
i'm probably wrong but
that was funny.

the white lady was a bitch from what I could gather, your conclusion seems logical.

the black wife asked the japanese guy to explain the different ethnicities in asia as soon as he picked her up.
there was that scene in the black family's home where the white wife kept bitching she was hungry but didn't want to cook.
i don't know what the japanese guy saw in his own wife. she wasn't attractive and she was spoiled and an all around useless human being. he's also pretty whipped. his mom that lived with them did all the cooking and housework. if my mother did all the cooking and housework while my wife stays at home and does nothing, i'd throw my wife out and get a new one.

maybe this is the japanese guy's way of saying, you got it good and now start cooking and cleaning or else i'm gonna drop your useless ass.
was their hapa son retarded or did he just look retarded?

Watch Dave Chapelle sue FOX btw. I know on the first season of Chapelle's Show he had a skit called "Trading Spouses" with that EXACT same concept. He should sue the hell out of them, lol.

The happa girl was hot.
The black lady was very nice.
the blondie was a lazy blonde, who does nothing.
the japanese dude has a girly name, Yuki. He's deserved to have a good wife.
I wish my mom will be healthy like the dude's mom. She's 70, but she's more active than me.

I love the husbands and all the kids so far.
The Black woman seems to be a good wife and mother. She just slipped into that family so easily, and like a normal mother, one of the first things she asks her new daughter is if she's hungry. You can tell she's uncomfortable, but she still has that motherly instinct--Unlike her counterpart.
I can't stand the White woman. The family needs to stop pussyfooting and tell her that she needs to get her act together. I'm sure there are some positives about her. She is married and all. But the show doesn't display the best of her...Well, I hope this is the case.
I wonder if she is going to do something stupid and buy a coffee machine with some of that $50,000. One of those and some Lean Cuisines, lol.
I love Nana. I can't believe her daughter-in-law said something about a strength. Nana seems to be doing pretty well and probably runs that house by herself.
So far she seems very amicable.
Daughter-in-law can learn more than a thing or two from her. And she should want to know. As she told her son, Nana won't be around forever. I know when my sister-in-laws see my mom cooking and stuff, they try to absorb all they can and help and basically be a better daughter than my mom's real daughters. I may be wrong, but it seems this woman sees Nana as a maid or something.
It's kinda weird seeing a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship like this.

i can't believe she was commenting on the girl's weight!
talking about carbs. hello! carbs.
that was so dumb. a prime example of her putting her foot
in her mouth.
and when she was talking to the younger boy about
going to college and how this is america and people
can do everything they put their mind too.
um. okay. where did that come from?
and i hope she doesn't spend that 50,000 dollars on something
stupid either.

If she is so concerned about their eating, perhaps she can prepare their food, or have the kids help out.

The Black lady seemed a little uncomfortable, but I think motherly instinct and general warmth doesn't make her seem as awkward. But, she's put in this large house with obviously well off folks who treat her to expensive dinning. I think that made her a bit self-conscious, being that the women she was replacing was going to her obviously more modest abode where she can't live like that.
The White woman seems uncomfortable in that I think she's used to a more relaxed lifestyle and her mother-in-law doing a lot of the to dos around the home, so she's not used to waking up early and helping the kids or not having morning coffee percolating for her. She seems to be in the habit of eating out, something her new family can't afford to do.
I think she's may be uncomfortable about being in a Black home, but I'm not sure.
The Black lady asked an ethnic question, but I'm not sure if she's uncomfortable, either. I don't think she's brought up race as much as the other woman, besides her question asking about Asia.

Rich lady spent the money well, I suppose.
I'm debating modest lady. I like the idea of giving it all to Nana, but still. $50,000 on a trip to Japan and a car? Is that want Nana would really, really like?
*shrugs*

Chappelle probably got the idea from elsewhere. The show's concept has been done somewhere in Europe before.

That's right. It's being shown in the UK too. I think it originated from England.
As for the North American version, I really can't stand the surgeon's wife. Someone should shove her face in a huge bowl of hot soup and ask her to take a deep breath.

the black lady made the right choice to give the money to the japanese guy's mother to be used towards a car and a trip to japan for herself.
the husband treated his own mom like a maid and his wife was one useless human being that from what i've seen doesn't bring anything to the marriage outside of a big set of titties for husband to titty fuck.

it is so nice to see Black people doing their thing without a script written by some white person who thinks' they know what a black person would do!! very refreshing!!

She split it amongst the family members, but also allotted a several thousand towards paying off debts and for a new house.

can't remember who said it, but american reality tv is basically some guy stealing an idea from the UK; repackaging it; and then a large ad-campaign about how fresh and different it is when the other networks will flood the channels with a similar product within months. see, this is why i don't watch that much television anymore.
