A new reality series is hitting network television: Celebrity Wife Swap.
The show features two families from very different lifestyles. They swap wives for one week (no, they don't swap bedrooms). At the end of the week, the couples will meet for the first time and exchange views and talk about what they've learned from the experience.
The swapped wives must adopt their new celebrity family's lifestyle, no matter how different. She agrees to follow a manual written by the departing mother that sets out the rules of the household – how to parent, manage their social life, do house work, unwind and more. In the second half of the week, everything changes when the new moms take charge. They introduce their own set of rules and get to run the new household their way.
Clutter Meets It's Match!
The sneak preview episode airing January 2nd features Tracey Gold (Growing Pains) and Carnie Wilson (singer and member of Wilson Phillips and daughter of Beach Boy Brian Phillips). Upon entering the Wilson house, Gold is overwhelmed by the clutter and can't believe the house looks this way in spite of two housekeepers and an aunt who helps with the girls. Wilson, on the other hand, is shocked that Gold still picks out her kid's clothes and leaves hardly any time for them to relax and have fun. Fireworks will fly when the two worlds collide.
If you remember, they've tried the neat freak versus the cluttered mess maker before. Well, it does make for great television.
Best known for her role as Carol Seaver in the legendary comedy series "Growing Pains," Tracey Gold (pictured above) runs a tight ship in her home. She and her husband, Roby Marshall, are inseparable and keep strict daily schedules for their four boys — Sage (14), Bailey (12), Aiden (7) and Dylan (3). Each day, Gold makes sure the family eats their meals together, and from sunrise to sunset she and Roby are diligently managing their household by cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and running errands.
Gold swaps lives with Carnie Wilson (pictured above), a member of the successful music group Wilson Phillips and daughter of The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson. Carnie is often out on the road working and performing, and refers to her relationship with record producer husband Rob as being like "two ships passing in the night." The couple has two daughters, Lola (6) and Luci (2).
In addition to Gold and Wilson, Celebrity Wife Swap will feature:
- Gary Busey and evangelical pastor Ted Haggard
- Flavor Flav and Twisted Sister member Dee Snider
- Pro wrestler Mick Foley and Antonio Sabato Jr.
- Niecy Nash and 'Family Ties' actress Tina Yothers
