'Celebrity Wife Swap' with Victoria Jackson? ABC orders episodes, casting underway

In an apparent bid to antagonize us with even more D-list celebs (which, per "Dancing with the Stars" ratings, we love), ABC reportedly ordered six episodes of "Celebrity Wife Swap." The idea is to take an already successful show -- "Wife Swap" -- and add a touch of stardust.What kind of stardust? According to Deadline.com, Victoria Jackson (who recently called a gay kiss on "Glee" "sickening") has been approached. Questions: Given the opportunity to swap, would her husband take her back? And how will this work? Will stars swap spouses with other stars or could Jackson potentially end up in a Jacksonville, Fla. trailer park?
Who would you cast in "Celebrity Wife Swap?" Our dream team: Lisa Rinna, Tori Spelling, Heidi Montag and Zsa Zsa Gabor. (Hey, where does it say the participants need to be ambulatory?)

Oh God - no more reality shows please!!!!
Does that mean Victoria Jackson's husband get an new wife each week? That would the the basic definiation of the word "swap."
If it were me, I'd prefer "Celebrity Wife Swap with Jena Jameson." Sounds like more fun for the new husband and more fun for the viewer to watch.
Hey, I am all for it. And wife-swapping gets a bad name----look how well it worked out for Shania Twain!
Reality shows are like junk food to America. I really wish the networks wouldn't go for the cheap quick fix but it looks like that is the only thing that appeals to the Neilson families. It is only driving me to watch other shows. Too bad there is no way for people to gage what America is really watching because I feel they would be surprised. The Neilson families are no longer a reliable source. Advertizers need to get a clue -they are losing consumers.
How many more stupid ideas will there be???
I think it's fair to say any "celebrity" who appears on a show like this can pretty much assume that their career (acting, singing, wrestling, Obama-bashing, whatever) is over and it's time to enroll in community college and find something else to do.
Now wait a minute...what do they mean, "an already successful show...?" When was the last time ABC aired an episode of this successful show? (Answer: last August, after it's season was cut short to only 16 episodes.) No new episodes have been ordered, other than the six celebrity segments. I think it's a little late to be trying to capitalize on the success of WIFE SWAP. A better idea might be a celebrity version of SUPERNANNY.
Doesn't Victoria Jackson already live in a Florida trailer park?
Maybe Victoria Jackson can wife swap with a lesbian couple. LOL. I am so sick of her intolerance. I WON'T be watching if she is on it.
If I were Victoria Jackson's husband, I'd want to swap her for a new wife too.
