It was the only time I've watched the show. I've got to say, it was interesting to see how their editing process "changed" a family that I know really well.

I mean, we actually got to see the devil posses her and make her start dry heaving. That’s entertainment!

Oops! Not as easy as it sounds, and amusing to watch from a distance. As for Wife Swap, no warning is necessary. I could smell that one from 4 channels away.

I was always mildly disappointed by it. I’m not sure why. It was a great concept. Rough Science is on Netflix if you have it. I was always mildly disappointed by it. I’m not sure why.
