Tonight on ABC Celebrity Wife Swap returns with an all new Wednesday May 20 season 4 premiere. On tonight’s episode, in the fourth-season opener, Jackee Harry leaves behind her life full of social outings with her ex-husband in Los Angeles and swaps places with Traci Lords, who is a traditional-style homemaker in a house without a TV in Redondo Beach, Cal.
Season four of ABC’s “Celebrity Wife Swap” is back bringing viewers more of its signature spin on the critically-acclaimed reality series, “Wife Swap,” by revealing the various ways celebrities live their lives. In this series, two members of celebrity families swap lives (but not bedrooms), and embark on a journey like no other to experience another family’s way of life, including raising children, cultural and religious traditions and family dynamics, all while dealing with life in the spotlight. In the end, the couples have the opportunity to reflect and re-discover their connections and what brought them together in the first place.
On tonight’s episode as per the ABC synopsis, “Emmy-Award Winning actress Jackee Harry, best known for roles on the hit comedy “227” and “Sister, Sister,” lives in Los Angeles, CA with her ex-husband Elgin Charles. Even though the couple is divorced, they still share a home and life in which Jackee and Elgin enjoy the finer things, frequently going out for drinks, dinner and dancing with friends late into the evening. Traci Lords is a pop icon who lives in Redondo Beach, CA with her husband Jeff and young son Gunnar. Traci and her husband are very traditional in that Traci is responsible for the running of the house, including the cooking and cleaning. They don’t own a TV and like to spend quiet evenings at home together where Gunnar puts his imagination to work building things out of the family’s recyclables. When it’s time for the swap, both Jackee and Traci are taken out of their comfort zones with Jackee taxed with cooking dinner and baking cupcakes for a birthday party at Gunnar’s school, while Traci spends a night on the town with Elgin meeting some of Jackee’s friends.”

On tonight’s episode of Celebrity Wife Swap, actress Jackee Harry will be switching lives with pop icon Traci Lords. Traci was known for her wild child years – but she settled down and married her husband Jeff and started a family, she works as a writer and director when she isn’t taking care of her family. Traci prides herself on being a domestic goddess and a homemaker for her husband and son Gunner. Traci hopes that whoever comes to fill her shoes for a week can cook for her family and work a duster.
It’s the day of the swap, Jackee and Traci head to each other’s houses to explore before they meet their new families. Traci is baffled by the neighborhood she arrives in, she isn’t sure if she is moving in with a street gang or a family of hipsters. Jackee is not impressed with Traci’s house, and her gothic design. Traci sits down to read Jackee’s instructions and thinks it is bizarre that she lives with her ex-husband Elgin. Jackee thinks that Traci’s instructions are “cray cray” when she learns that she has to wake up at 4:00 AM to fix breakfast for her husband Jeff. Elgin arrives and meets Traci – he is a huge fan, and can’t wait to do Traci’s hair and make-up. At Traci’s house, Jackee meets Jeff and Gunner. Gunenr has never seen or heard of Traci – he doesn’t watch television.
Jackee is not impressed when Jeff invites friends over for dinner. They give her a raw fish and tell her that they want snapper for dinner. Jeff and his friends sit in the kitchen and mock Jackee while she tries to cut the fish – she has no idea how to clean it and tries to put it in the oven with the bones in it. She wishes she could just tell Jeff and his friends to “kiss her ass.” Meanwhile, Elgin does Traci’s hair and makeup and takes her out for drinks and dinner. While they are eating, Traci asks Elgin 100 questions about why he still lives with his ex-wife.
The next day Jackee gets up at the crack of dawn to take care of Jackee and Gunner. She struggles in the kitchen trying to make cupcakes. In the valley Traci has a tough time getting out of beg, she isn’t used to partying all night. Elgin tells her to just relax and have a good day and come meet him at the salon later. Jackee is busy bonding with Gunner before he goes to school.
In the valley Traci gets a full taste of what life is like being Jackee, she is sent to an estate sale with a shopping list of things that Jackee likes. Traci doesn’t understand why Jackee would want to buy all of these things. She is shocked when they go to cash out and realize that she just spent $1400 on useless stuff that Jackee doesn’t actually need. Afterwards, she travels to Elgin’s salon to visit him at work. Meanwhile, Gunner returns home from school, and Jackeehas to help him feed his pet bugs – which does not go over well. Afterwards, Jackee and Jeff take Gunner to the beach – and they get to know each other.
At Elgin’s house, Traci and Elgin sit down and have a heart to heart about his complicated relationship with Jackee. She thinks that Elgin should be a little more “selfish” and it isn’t fair to him that he can’t find love, because he is busy taking care of his ex-wife. At Traci’s house, Jackee is busy putting Gunner to bed and they are reading a nighttime story.
IT’s half way through the week – which means that Jackee and Traci get to run the houses they way that they want to. Jackee informs Jeff and Gunner that it is time for them to start living in the 2000’s and not the 1950’s, and they are going to start having more fun. Also, they have to get rid of Gunner’s pet bugs and get him some real toys. Traci tells Elgin that it is time for him to take his life back and his house, he needs to clean up some of Jackee’s clutter out of his house – and be more manly, she also wants him to join a dating site.
Instead of going to the salon, Traci takes Elgin to a construction site so that he can “be macho and sweaty” and start standing up to Jackee. In South Bay, Jackee takes Jeff and Gunner on a shopping spree – she buys him a truckload of toys. Jeff is not happy, he thinks that they are being excessive and it is a total waste of money, but Gunner is having a blast. Back at Elgin’s house, Tracy is helping him clean Jackee’s clutter out of his house.
After their shopping spree, Jackee makes Jeff go with her for a night out on the town, they meet up with some of her friends for drinks and Jeff is not happy when Jackee brags that his wife Traci was a porn star. Jeff tries to point out that she is known for a lot more than that and she is a double platinum singer and has been in over 70 movies. On the final day of the wife swap, Traci helps Elgin create an account on an online dating site.
After a long week, it is time for Traci and Jeff and Jackee and Elgin to sit dow at the round table and discuss what they learned from their experiences. Jackee rants that Traci’s house is like living in the 1950’s, and she is not happy when she learns that Traci helped Elgin move some of her stuff out of the house. Jackee tells Tori that she needs to stop being so strict on Gunner and sheltering him just because she has a checkered past. Jackee says that Jeff and Traci need to stop “living to work and start working to live.” Overall they all learned some valuable lessons from the experience and he is going to start being more selfish and living for himself.
