Wife Swap originally aired on ABC from 2004 to 2020, in which wives with polar opposite lifestyles swapped places to see how the other lived. <\/p>\n

Bravo<\/a> rebooted the series to feature TV personalities used to their lavish mansions and glam, trading worlds with ordinary wives living vastly different ways.<\/p>\n

Angie<\/a>, who\u2019s starred on RHOSLC<\/a> for the past three seasons, surprised fans with her attitude and respect toward Lindsay, an Idaho mom-of-three who lives without running water or electricity.<\/p>\n

The TV star was welcomed into Lindsay\u2019s home by her husband, Tanner, and their three young children, but immediately got a rude awakening when she realized she had been stripped of most of the luxuries in her multi-million-dollar Salt Lake City, Utah, abode.<\/p>\n

MAKING HER MARKS<\/p>\n

Among the chores Angie had to complete during her stay were taking out the poop from the compost toilet and filling buckets of water from an outdoor spring to fill a 50-gallon tank inside.<\/p>\n

The reality star also had to bathe in a tub outside and eat a cow\u2019s tail, hunted by the family in a nearby field.<\/p>\n

Eventually, when it was time for the wives to implement their own rules for 24 hours, Angie insisted that they go out to eat, after complaining of going to bed hungry the night before. <\/p>\n

She also rocked her cowboy boots and expensive clothing to a bar in town after dragging Tanner out for an evening away. <\/p>\n

Things in Angie\u2019s neck of the woods weren\u2019t much easier for Lindsay either, as she was used to a much simpler routine away from technology and the famous family\u2019s other glamorous amenities. <\/p>\n

She challenged Angie\u2019s husband, Shawn, and their teenage daughter, Elektra, to sleep in tents without devices and to gut a fish for dinner.<\/p>\n

Shawn somewhat liked getting into the outdoors, although he and Elektra didn\u2019t last the entire night sleeping in the tent, despite their campsite being in their backyard. <\/p>\n

Lindsay, however, did get them to plant a garden, which Angie continued to use after her return home, according to the end credits.<\/p>\n

Both ladies admitted they learned a lot from the experience, with Angie aiming to connect more with her family and less with material things, while Lindsay is more confident than ever about her off-grid lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Fans applauded Angie for being open to the switch after clearly stepping into unfamiliar territory. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love that she was respectful of their living conditions even though she was clearly stunned,\u201d one person commented on YouTube<\/a> beneath a preview for the episode.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Angie will fit right in and give some practical advice to this sweet family,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve done Angie dirty lol,\u201d joked a third.<\/p>\n

The experience appeared to give Angie a whole new outlook, as she put her house on the market shortly after filming.<\/p>\n

She listed her 6,500-square-foot home for sale that September for $4.5million, though she\u2019s since slashed the price numerous times<\/a> after struggling to find buyers, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed.<\/p>\n

Angie dropped the price in March to $4.375million and again in May to $3.85million in an effort to attract more interested buyers. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear where the family is moving to next, but we can bet it will be someplace on the grid. <\/p>\n
