Wow, what an awesome show! Seriously, I am not a big watcher of reality tv, but that show just made me cry, laugh, and feel so darn good about people. And the way it turned out in the end?! Ugh, just awesome!
I will definitely tune in again next week!

I had a lot of angst watching that show! there is so much manipulation. I wa surprised at how this episode ended and can see it getting ugly down the road. We will watch another episode and go from there.

I didn't think the couple with the brick home and ice cream trucks were going to be that understanding, glad they surprised me. I will watch again.

If each other didn't know the other was going through the same thing, why were the houses prepped? The med bills just happen to be out. And the Purple Heart was just laying there? Not saying it was bad, but questionable. Not sure how I would feel having strangers dig through my stuff. And I would be the one to give it all away. No questions asked.

We will watch another episode and go from there. I do agree on seeing how it could get ugly. It's very possible, even probable, that one family would give it all or most of it, and the other family keep all or most of it. But I'm guessing they pick two families with similar situations and in need of money to make it more likely that they will give each other the money. |

OMG i have been crying since the beginning! Cried through the whoel damn thing! My kids have forbid from watching it becuase I get so emotionally invested lol.
Right away - before they had any info at all - just the briefcase and knowledge that there was another family in need, I said give half and keep half.
Once i saw the vet who lost his leg for our freedom, I said give it all so he could have an accessible house and provide for his kids. but I could see how hard it would be when you have needs too.
I liked both mne, but I loved the vet becuase he had such a big heart and just an amazing attitude about life and gratitude. I didn't like the odler wife at all, and I was meh on the vet's wife....
I was suprised that both couples gave it all and so happy to see them both blessed.
I do agree that there will be differences down the road and I don't know that I can handle lol.

I noticed this was on last night and decided to give it a try even though the previews made it look sort of silly. And I liked it. I do agree with Lancermom that the houses did look staged. The medical bills right there laid out just waiting for the other family to see, all of the military medals displayed, and the vet's prosthetic legs lined up in a row leaning against the wall waiting to be spotted. Do you really think he's leaves those limbs stored like that? One thing I didn't like was that while the vet's family was taken to a second location and shown the ice cream trucks and how they were all broken down, the other family was not taken to the vet's family's house that was being built. That was a huge omission I thought that left the other family (ice cream business family-can't remember their names) without the full picture. If they had known that the vet's family was in the process of building a home with a VA loan (which I was more than happy for them to be doing) instead of just living in a cramped apartment maybe it would have influenced their decision. Maybe not, but I think they should have had all of the facts. I do think that it's an interesting show and I'll give it a chance for a few more episodes. With Survivor and Amazing Race off the air right now I have to have something to fill the void  Debbie in MD. |
