Wife Swap Mom Arrested for Stabbing Husband

Jamie Czerniawski was released on $75,000 bail last month after being arrested for allegedly stabbing her husband with a kitchen knife.

Mrs Czerniawski, a former Miss Teen New Jersey who also appeared in the ABC reality show “Wife Swap” in 2006, was arrested after she allegedly stabbed her husband Charles in the heat of a domestic dispute. Charles spent two days in intensive care with stab wounds to his right arm, according to The Examiner. He lost four pints of blood as a result of his injuries.

Mrs Czerniawski, who traded places with a tatooed freak show performer from Arizona on Wife Swap, says that she stabbed her husband in self defense, after he caught her talking to a male friend and went into a jealous rage. Mr Czerniawski says that she simply lost her mind and started stabbing him.

Both parties currently have restraining orders against each other. To read all the gory details, click here.

The Brazenwoods Meet the Taylor Family on Tonight’s Wife Swap

From ABC:

A meat-loving cowboy family with traditional values swap lives with a free-spirited vegan family who consult the stars, on “Wife Swap,” FRIDAY, APRIL 24 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on  ABC.

The Taylor family from Texas own a cattle ranch and live for the good old fashioned American rodeo! World Champion Team Roper Dad Calvin (33), and his wife, Heather (34), have four children, Claire (12), Caroline (9), Cameron (6) and Calvin Jr. (4), who are tough rodeo competitors themselves in barrel racing and roping. The Taylors are raising their kids to be hardworking winners. Calvin strives to lead by example and spends most of his time outside with the animals, while Heather prefers to stay at home, “barefoot and pregnant.” Calvin expects hot dinners of meat and potatoes but refuses to do any housework. To ensure Calvin Jr. follows in his footsteps, his father takes him out for meals alone, leaving all the Taylor women behind. Even if it upsets his daughters, the girls aren’t allowed to show any emotion because the Taylors believe crying makes you weak. They believe their traditional values are creating well-grounded, practical children, which is important to the cowboy way of life.

Meanwhile, the new-age Brazenwood family from North Carolina live in a world of their own, literally. Astrologist Dad Kelly (37) wrote a fantasy novel about a fictional world named “Thandoria” starring a boy named Arian Brazenwood, which is the name he later gave to his real-life son here on planet Earth. Adrian’s step mom, Christina (28), is an energy healer who lets her astrological chart dictate her days because she believes it puts her in touch with the meaning of life. She enjoys spending time outside talking to her friends the plants, and isn’t afraid to rub dirt all over her body or even have a taste of it while communing with nature. When she’s not one with nature, she dons funky costumes and teaches a dance class called “soul shaking.” Back at home, Kelly wears a towel wrapped around his waist instead of pants and loves to run around and to pretend sword fight or play in fantasy worlds with Arian (13). When it comes to domestic duties, they all chip in, and they prefer a vegan diet. To help unify the family, they chant “om” before every meal, which is the sound of the universe being created.

In the first week, Heather leaves behind the rodeo for the world of fantasy. Kelly begins by giving her an astrological reading, but pragmatic Heather claims she doesn’t believe in all the “fluff.” Though she tries to talk to plants like Christina, she finds it difficult to have a true conversation. With so much focus on astrology and the world of make believe, Heather worries the family doesn’t know the difference between work and play. Meanwhile, in Texas, Christina Brazenwood notices the plants on the ranch are far less inviting than the friendly foliage back at home. Like the plants, she thinks the family has difficulty expressing emotion and is saddened that Calvin chooses to spend time with his only son and leave his daughters behind. After spending time with the Taylor girls, Christina confronts Calvin about his lack of emotion and chauvinistic attitude, but Calvin maintains he’s happy living life by his cowboy code.

In the second week of the swap, when the wives change the rules and turn the tables, Heather rules that Kelly has to trade in his skirt and star-gazing for spurs and become a real cowboy. For Heather, that means eating like one too after 17 years of abstaining from meat, Kelly has to chow down on chicken fried steak and cheeseburgers. Although Kelly tries to man up and follow her rules, he eventually melts down and tosses his burger off the balcony, leading Heather to believe he’ll never grow up. Meanwhile in Texas, kooky Christina bans rodeo, ranching and riding in favor of poetry, writing and painting. However, before she can even finish reading her rules, Calvin stages a walkout and takes his kids for a meat dinner. After the explosive rule change, Calvin takes the whole family to live in a trailer. Christina decides to persevere anyway and tries to introduce the family to interpretive dancing, but Calvin continues to shut her out, claiming, “real men don’t dance!” After two weeks in another home, can Heather Taylor bring the eccentric Brazenwoods one step closer to reality? And can Christina Brazenwood help the no-nonsense Taylors get in touch with their emotional sides?

The Hensteins trade lifestyles with The Toulous on Wife Swap

“Henstein/Toulou” A hard-working real estate couple who never take a day off swap with a fun-loving family of jokesters, on “Wife Swap,” FRIDAY, MARCH 20 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Each week two very contradictory families from across the country participate in a two-week-long challenge: The wives exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover daily life in another woman’s shoes. This astonishing experiment repeatedly changes lives and redefines families.

The Toulou family from Washington are doing their best to keep up with today’s faltering economy. As real estate agents, Lisa (40) and Troy (39) are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In order to cut down on expenses, the Toulous recruit their two children, Lauren (14) and Connor (10), to help them clean their office. Lisa has high expectations for the kids at home as well: Both Lauren and Connor have an extensive chore list, as Lisa aims for her house to look like a model home. They even have “by invitation only” rooms which the children cannot enter unless their parents give them approval. With so many chores and little time to relax, the Toulou children have no social life, leaving Connor to play with his only friend…a stick.

Further south in Oregon, anything goes in the Henstein home! Fun-loving Eric (43) and Joyce (41) like being “cool parents” to teenagers Josh (18), Jake (16) and Erica (14). They have an open door policy in their house allowing the kids and their friends the freedom to flow in and out. To ensure she is able to spend as much time as possible catering to her kids’ every whim, Joyce runs a daycare out of their home. Eric admits he will never strike it rich installing cabinets, but life is too short to worry about money. He’d much rather spend time with his kids playing practical jokes. In the happy Henstein home, it’s hard to tell who the parents are and who the kids are, but they wouldn’t have it any other way.

In the first week, real estate agent Lisa leaves behind her model home for the no holds barred Henstein house. Upon arrival, she admits the unkempt house would need plenty of work if she were taking it on as listing. She also has trouble keeping her cool when the Henstein boys place a fake toy rodent in the kitchen cabinet. Though she tries to confront Eric, she sees that his antics are just as juvenile, and she compares the Henstein home to a fraternity house or a zoo. Meanwhile, in Washington, joyful Joyce finds the Toulou home to be prim, proper and a bit stuffy. When 10-year-old Connor tells her he helps out with his parents’ business so that he doesn’t have to live on the street, she understands how cheerless the Toulou kids’ childhood really is.

In the second week of the swap, when the wives change the rules and turn the tables, Lisa bans all pranks. Since the Hensteins refuse to grow up, Lisa decides to treat them as children; every time they disobey one of her rules, they’re sent to the “naughty chair.” As the only adult in the house, Lisa expects Eric to lead by example, but to her dismay he continues to encourage the kids to break all the rules. Meanwhile, in Oregon, Joyce transfers all the kids’ chores to Troy. She also turns the “by invitation only” rooms into a kid zone, complete with toys and an indoor basketball net. Joyce hopes a little fun and goofing around will bring Eric closer to his lonely children. After two weeks in another home, can Lisa Toulou help the Hensteins grow up and take life more seriously? And can Joyce Henstein show the Toulous that they need to put the focus on their kids rather than work?

The Chi Family meets the Edwards on Wife Swap

In New York, the Chi family is all about getting down to business. Wife Myra (48) turned husband Charles‘ passion for martial arts into a business, and together they run two successful martial arts schools. Myra is the CEO, Charles (51) is the “product,” and kids Meagan (14) and Charles Lee (9) serve as role models to other students. When they aren’t putting in exhausting hours at the studio, Myra runs the family’s home life much like a corporation. She proudly admits she’s the dictator and makes her children sign a document making them citizens of the family. Meagan and Charles Lee have an extensive chore list because Myra admits messiness “distorts her brain.” Through martial arts and a tough parenting style, Myra and Charles hope their children will learn the structure, discipline and respect they need to succeed in life.

Meanwhile, the eccentric Edwards family of Washington lives to entertain. Wife Jackie (44) and husband Phil (44) are actors, singers and celebrity impersonators. They own and operate a community theater out of their home, and Jackie spends most of her time swamped in fabric because she’s constantly making new costumes. She loves to dress up as Dolly Parton, Mae West or Marilyn Monroe, while Phil dons pirate costumes and delivers singing telegrams. Free-spirited daughter Elisa (15) has few rules and is following in her parents’ footsteps, dreaming of acting and singing professionally. With so much creative energy flowing through the house, there’s no time for domestics matters. Dishes are only done when it’s absolutely necessary, and bills often get lost in the shuffle. But Jackie doesn’t worry; she believes, “If life gets messy, just go with it!”

In the first week, Myra Chi leaves behind order and structure to live the chaotic life of Jackie Edwards. While dressing up in Jackie’s costumes and trying to run the family’s theater, she determines the Edwards aren’t marketing their talents in a way that could benefit them financially. With the dishes piled high, clothes strewn about and no organization in sight, Myra has difficulty stomaching the home and dramatically walks out. Meanwhile, upon arrival in New York, free spirit Jackie Edwards finds the immaculate Chi home “sterile.” She observes the cold interaction between Charles and his kids as he rewards them with cash for their chores, and worries the blurred lines between family and business might have a negative effect on the kids.

In the second week, when the wives change the rules and turn the tables, Myra Chi and Phil Edwards battle for control. She attempts to empower the family by introducing them to martial arts. Using his newly acquired discipline, Phil sets up a public speaking seminar to help bring in some extra income. At home, Myra wants both Phil and Elisa to pitch in and help organize things. Meanwhile, in the detached Chi home, Jackie Edwards bans all chores and eliminates the family’s citizenship agreement. To help bring the family closer together, she asks the Chi kids to give up one of their prized possessions in exchange for quality time with their father. After two weeks in another home, can Myra Chi help the Edwards family live their passion without sacrificing their financial stability? And can Jackie Edwards help the Chis recognize that families are meant to be loving and connected, not run like businesses?

The Petersons meet The Vaughn Family on tonight’s Wife Swap

An eccentric pair of yoga instructors who have raised their son to be the king of the household swap with a hard working, no-nonsense family of six, on “Wife Swap,” tonight (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.

In California’s northern Bay area, the Petersons are an unconventional family of three. Parents Susan and David teach laughing yoga while raising their only child, 10 year-old Victor. Victor is the head of the household, creates rules for his friends, has no actual responsibilities and bosses his parents around on a daily basis. David, although the father of the home, is a self-proclaimed freak who is proud to be nuts and prides himself on wearing a tiara, as well as tie-dyed clothing. Susan and David operate on the supposition that Victor’s happiness is everything. Their non-traditional lifestyle is reflected in their attitude that husband or wife, male or female, everyone plays an equal role at home and in society.

In a more remote part of California, in an isolated town with a population of 50, resides the Vaughn family. Justin, the father, is a dairy farmer who rarely sees his four children or wife, and is often more concerned with his cows than his own family. Beth, the mother and disciplinarian of the home, is strict and teaches her children that life is not fun, but involves hard work and sacrifice; she’s content not to be a friend to her kids, but rather the authoritarian. Ryan (9), Zachary (7), Marissa (6) and Grace (4) live alone on their farm, 40 miles from school, and have multiple chores that take up most of their free time. The kids are sad to live such an isolated existence, but parents Justin and Beth maintain that life isn’t always fun and happy.

In the first week, Susan leaves her husband, son and laughing yoga for a more traditional role as a mother. She arrives at the Vaughn home to find it spotless, but realizes how lonely it is when every day is spent cleaning and tidying up. Susan connects almost immediately with the children, but she’s saddened by their isolation. Meanwhile, up north, Beth arrives to a new environment and is freaked out by all the odd statues and decorations in the home. She’s concerned with David’s lack of authority and Victor’s manipulations. After participating in some laughing yoga sessions, Beth is convinced that the Vaughns have not faced the reality of parenting, and she’s distraught at Victor’s spoiled and rude behavior.

In the second week of the swap, when the wives change the rules and turn the tables, Susan is determined to bring fun back to the Petersen farm. She begins with attempts to have Justin spend more time with the kids, which at first results in confrontation and battles, but that eventually changes when Susan sets aside her laughing yoga and focuses more on the interests of the children. They attend a football practice, have a family whipped cream fight, and the kids finally get to spend more time with their father. Beth, on the other hand, sets out to create more structure to the Petersen home. It begins when she hides David and Victor’s clothes and replaces them with more “masculine” attire. Since Beth sees David as a poor example to Victor, she asks him to start disciplining Victor, which proves difficult.

David and Beth argue almost constantly over parenting methods, but then David begins to see that Victor is manipulative and that showing a little authority may not be such a bad idea. After two weeks in another home, can Susan Petersen convince the Vaughns that life should be fun and family focused? And can Beth Vaughn show the Petersens that being a parent is not always about being a best friend, but rather about finding a balance between example and enforcement?

The Linkins Meet the Bonetts on Wife Swap tonight

The LARPING Linkins from Virginia live in a world of fantasy. As a Live Action Role Player, Mom Grace (53) spends her days dressed up as an elf, gypsy or queen and roams the forest with other fanciful characters from her LARPING group. When she’s not in the woods, she spends 12 hours a day on the computer frolicking in virtual fantasy worlds, while Dad George (57) runs the family cleaning business. Neither Grace nor George see a need to be strict parents, which sons Casey (19) and Randy (12) take full advantage of. With few rules and a mom who would rather create spell packets or fancy costumes, sleeping in or bringing home less than stellar grades is totally acceptable. Randy’s real dream is to become more active and try football, wrestling or martial arts, but his parents have discouraged him from these intense sports in favor of LARPING.

Meanwhile, the success-driven Bonett family from Florida believe the sky is the limit if you have the right attitude. On the advice of a motivational speaker, Dad Warren (43) starts each day jumping on a mini trampoline, which gets his blood pumping and puts him on the road to success with a positive attitude. Mom Prebble (48) covers the mirrors in the house with motivational messages for kids Wyndham (15) and Celia (13) to keep them thinking positive! However attitude is only half of the formulaeducation and hard work are essential to the Bonetts’ success. Warren and Prebble lead by example and are workaholic real estate agents; Warren’s phone is attached to his ear at all times, and his laptop is never out of his sight. And, since higher education is mandatory for their kids, Warren and Prebble have gone as far as to cut the kids out of the will if they don’t attend college.

In the first week of the swap, Grace Linkins leaves behind her life of fantasy and journeys into the real world at the Bonnet home. She is impressed by the care and precision that has been taken to keep the Bonett home immaculate, but is troubled by how much time Warren spends on work and how little time he spends with his family. An exhausted Grace worries that, with so much focus on setting and achieving goals, the Bonnets are missing out on valuable, relaxed family time. Meanwhile in Virginia, energetic Prebble has trouble adjusting to the slow-paced Linkins home. She feels Grace spends too much time on childish role playing in the forest instead of taking care of her home or encouraging her kids to reach their greatest potential in life. Prebble attempts to show George his lax attitude is making his kids go nowhere fast.

In the second week, when the wives change the rules and turn the tables, Grace strives to bring the world of imagination into the Bonnet home. She breaks down after pleading with Warren to turn off his phone, lock up his computer and join his kids in a LARP. The usually structured Bonett family finds it difficult to morph into whimsical characters and join the world of make believe. Meanwhile, Prebble Bonett attempts to bring a dose of reality into the laidback Linkins’ home. To better prepare them for their future, Prebble encourages Randy to go for his dream and try martial arts. and she persuades Casey to get a haircut and go on a real job interview. After two weeks in another home, can Grace Linkins show the uptight, go-getting Bonetts that a little fantasy isn’t going to stop them from being successful? And can Prebble Bonnet motivate the Linkins to leave the world of fantasy behind to achieve real life goals and become successful?

The Long Family meets the Stephens-Fowler clan on Wife Swap

“Long/Stephens-Fowler” A mid-western family whose lives revolve around the “American Way” of fast food, 4X4s and paintball, swaps lives with a big city family focused on education, the environment and keeping their bodies healthy and trim, on “Wife Swap,” TONIGHT (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on  ABC .

The Longs from Missouri are a patriotic, all-American family who live for paint ball. Wife Gayla (37) is just one of the boys on the paint ball field, but at home she is happy to take care of all the household chores, which husband Alan has deemed “skirt work.” When Alan (38) is not wreaking havoc with his four wild and crazy boys — Cody (15), Coltan (10), Clayton (8) and Cameron (4) — he serves as the mayor of their 55-person town. The Longs are proud of their Midwestern roots and consider their lifestyle the “American way.” Corn dogs and fast food are staples in their home, and their exercise comes from riding ATVs. Alan and Gayla want their kids to have fun; education and the environment can take a backseat.

Meanwhile, the Stephens-Fowler family from Northern California consider themselves “citizens of the world.” They strive for excellence in both mind and body. Life coach and certified weight-loss hypnotherapist Rene (43) and British-born environmental entrepreneur Stephen (49) raise their children, Juliette (11) and James (8), to be both health and environmentally conscious. With a diet of strictly organic food and weekends spent doing “family fitness activities,” the kids admit they can’t remember the last time they had a French fry. Domestics are taken care of by a housekeeper, as that is regarded as a necessity in the Stephens-Fowler set. In order to ensure acceptance to an Ivy League school, they push their kids to excel in highbrow activities such as music, fencing and speaking foreign languages. Both children attend a bilingual school and have already visited over 12 countries.

In the first week, Gayla Long leaves the heartland behind for life in the city. As a mom who works nights to spend her days with her boys, she is surprised Rene would spend her time on the treadmill while Stephen gets the kids off to school. With so much focus on education and hours of homework every night, she questions whether Juliette and James have any time for fun. Meanwhile, in the Long home, Rene attempts to use the washing machine, but fails to live up to Alan’s expectations of “skirt work.” She grows worried that the family’s lack of exercise, combined with their “meat and potatoes” diet, are having a negative effect on the family’s health.

In the second week of the swap, when the wives change the rules and turn the tables, Gayla attempts to bring some family-friendly excitement into the Stephens-Fowler home by introducing them to paintball and go-karts. Gayla’s rule changes lead to a dramatic standoff between her and Stephen. In the meantime, Rene strives to teach the Longs about cutting down on fossil fuels and calories. She locks up the ATVs and exposes the family to hiking and healthier food options. After two weeks in another home, can Gayla Long convince the Stephens-Fowlers that there is more to life than school and work and help them bond as a family? And can Rene Stephens-Fowler show the Longs the importance of taking care of their bodies and expanding their horizons?

Since this was posted,  Stephen Fowler has threatened to sue Reality Roll Call. Click here to read what he wrote:
