Trading Spouses is a program where moms and dads try out the ultimate life change: trading their families to take over a clan from another walk of life. For some, it’s a dream vacation; for others, an absolute nightmare. When the families are switched, they live with their host families for one whole week. When the mom or dads are finally reunited with their loved ones, they have to tell their families the twist: They decide how the other family will spend their $50,000 prize money.

In these kind of shows there are parts that are real and others that are fake to create drama to the show. In my opinion this drama is what captures and engages with the audience.  If there is no drama the show can be boring. In this episode with the Shatz and the Martin Family – staring our beautiful professor, I can try to find which parts are real and what are fake.

I feel that the part where Lisa suggests a tutor for Aaron came from real & sincere feelings, but I also feel it was taken to a different level and was a bit dramatic. If he feels that if someone recommends a tutor and he starts crying he is not ready for the real world, because I find nothing bad on this suggestion.

Religion took a huge part on this episode. The reason behind choosing these two families is because of the difference on religious believes and just the way of seeing life.  The whole show is based on this controversial subject and it does create a lot of drama. I believe that when Lisa firsts arrives to Kentucky it is possible that there is a place where they sell Kosher food, but they made it seem like there wasn’t to create drama and humor. In my opinion it was a bit fake the level of drama towards the religion.

Finally at the Shatz party I feel everything was a show. Because the  husband was so against it and then they do it. The “transformation” that Ayreh causes a huge sensation on the party and its not a big deal. I believe that the Rabbi was planned, he will not show up unannounced and then suddenly they cancel the party. It was dramatic.

In conclusion it was an entertaining show the hour passed really quickly. I laughed and learned a lot about the family of my professor and her religion. It was nice seeing how everyone learned about each others life and got along at the end, and most importantly have fun.
