Wife swap with Stephen Fowler - Page 3  

post #41 of 49
What a terrible, miserable person.

I have to tip my hat to the mom who stayed with him because I wouldn't have been able to do it. He would have talked to me like that one time....just one time.

I actually shed a tear while watching this.

But apparently after a solid week of boasting about how smart he was, he flat-out refused to deliver the goods on that one.

You know, I'm sure it's nice to be smart, but it's a lot smarter to be nice!
because it was too far below his level of intelligence.:

He is one person who just totally doesn't see himself.. narcissistic for sure..

Wow. Watched it last night. :

That guy was pathologically arrogant.

I think Gayla showed tremendous grace in the face of his ugly behavior. And I don't think she came across as stupid or uneducated at all. She was certainly not elitist like him, but that doesn't make her dumb. I think she just chose not to fight fire with fire, and was just being herself (which is polite, gracious, kind, and caring).

Not that her educational level really matters. I don't care who the target is, that kind of nasty behavior towards anyone is way, way, waaaaaaay over the line.

I see this show all the time and alot of times the families don't get along (basically the premise of the show) but I've never ever seen anyone be so rude and hateful.
ITA!! Except....it did remind me of a couple from the last season. They were an eastern Indian couple, one held a Ph.d in research science, and the dad held a masters in business(ithink)...anyway, the mom swapped with a family where the other mom was really into her horses, and the whole family was into midevil reenactment.

The absolute same thing-where the one guy was so over the top with his whole higher education and style of living cr*p. Well, I guess the eastern Indian couple actually *like* being Americans, where as the British guy needed to row his a$$ back to the land of superiority.

What I find so disturbing, is that they role model their sickening behavior in front of their dc. :Puke

Wow! I found a crazy blog about him too when I googled his name but was asked to remove it. I think it was mentioned in the article.

He was a UAV times a kabillion.

You know, I was thinking about Gayla's comment about organics. Sometimes people say stuff defensively, knowing full well what it is. kwim? It could have been she felt definsive about the fast food her family was eating, and that we her way of dealing with it.
