Til Debt Do Us Part

[asmom]

Does anyone watch? I fell asleep on last night's show and I'm just wondering if the couple in the first episode ever got their act together especially since they flunked the first challenge so fantastically. For some reason, I can't get online episodes to play on my computer.

Hi,

I've been watching it for years (it's a Canadian show - and I'm in Canada). I can't help you re: last night's episode, but I think they're all repeats now. I've never had any trouble viewing the episodes on slice.ca

I think they ended up with $2,000 dollars.
She wasn't too happy about being inconvenienced and not getting the full amount.
I'll bet she'll end up buying that Mercedes she had her eye on.

Yep. They got $2000 and boy was the wife ticked off! They couldn't believe they didn't get the whole amount. They never really completed any of the challenges. I was surprised she gave them any money.

Thanks. I'm not surprised they didn't complete the other challenges fully. They blamed it all on her in the beginning but the husband was almost as bad when they went to that apartment.

Now I know the episode you're talking about. I think it was from about 5 years ago. So many people online are still talking about that dumb biotch (that's how I remember it - and I know for sure it's the same episode you just saw).

That gal felt she was "entitled" to live in a nice house even if they couldn't pay for it and was very upset they didn't get the whole $5000. I wish they would do follow up programs on these couples.

I just discovered this show and will make sure to tune in more. The only ep I've seen was with Muhammad, 31, and Leona, 30, who are an engineer and publicist, respectively. They bought a $386,000 house (3,200 square feet) with just $20,000 down. They promptly took out a home improvement loan for $25,000 and took off on a honeymoon for Thailand for a month, which cost them $8,500. They bought three Persian rugs for $12,000, as well as silk curtains and chandeliers. I was truly offended. They were spending $4,000 more a month than they had coming in. I couldn't believe the host gave them an entertainment budget! In such dire financial straits I'd tell them to sit their butts at home and stare at those Persian carpets for their fun.

Any other good financial shows out there? I'm going to watch this and the new show Princess, as well as my fave, Suze Orman.

Is that show still running? On what chanel? That would be fun to watch. I haven't seen it for a long time.

It's on CNBC after Suze Orman on Saturday Nights. It may be on other times as well, but that's the only one that I know for sure.

The show called "Princess" (with the same host) is on after Suze Orman in my area, not "debt do us part".

Sometimes they play that show. Other weeks, till debt do us part will be on. Till debt do us part is usually on after Princess on weeks that Princess plays after Suze Orman.
