Celebrity Wife Swap – Season 1 – Episode 2 – Recap

Celebrity Wife Swap

In tonight’s second episode of “Celebrity Wife Swap”, the pious wife, Gayle Haggard of pastor Ted Haggard goes to a home that rejects organized religion when she swaps with the spiritually open finceé, Steffanie Samson of controversial Gary Busey.

The Haggards are a sad, repressed, but perfectly nice-seeming lot. Busey is Busey and Samson is a big-hearted à la carte assortment of spiritual beliefs.

The wives are not told who they are swapping with before they arrive at their respective temporary homes; which leads to some pretty cute moments as they familiarize themselves around the houses. Stephanie finds a Ten Commandments on the wall and a Bible study schedule on the fridge, she guessed the family is Christian, then when she finds the hot tub she says, “Maybe they’re groovy Christians.”

Meanwhile, Gayle sits in on a spiritual cleansing with “Indian Bob,” Busey’s guru or shaman or something, and is a total sport about it despite some reservations.

Stephanie has to take Gayle’s place leading a women’s Bible study group, but the biggest disaster is that she doesn’t know how to read verse citations and mispronounces the word “disciple,” which gives everyone a good laugh.

When the Gayle and Gary go out for dinner, she hopes that she might get a chance to share a bit about herself with her temporary husband, but that is far from it. When she finally asks if he has any questions for her, he repeats the same one he asked when they first met: “What athletic sports did you play as a child?” which she answers barrell racing.

Ted’s obviously conflicted sexuality comes up and this is one part of the show that gets a little heated: Stephanie reads a passage in Gayle’s post-scandal memoir Why I Stayed that appears to liken homosexuals (particularly the one who accused Ted) to Satan, and asks Ted point blank if he thinks gay people are evil. Stephanie eventually lets the issue go, and gets onto more important matters, like connecting with the youngest son, who obviously has some misplaced anger issues.

In the end, the two couples sit down at a picnic table and talk about what they learned, that ends in Ted’s offer to marry Gary and Stephanie when they decide they want to make their bond a legal one. It’s at this point in the show that you realize you just spent an hour with two insane men with their incredibly loving and patient partners.
