Plot Synopsis

In each one-hour episode, two mothers from celebrity families with very different values swap lifestyles and children in a one week-long challenge. In the first part of the swap, each mom moves into the other's home and must adopt their new celebrity family's lifestyle, no matter how different. They agree to follow a manual written by the departing mother that sets out the rules of the new household -- how to parent, manage their social life, do house work, unwind and more. In the second half of the week, everything changes when the new moms take charge. They introduce their own set of rules and get to run the new household their way. It's a radical shock to both celebrity families. The results are explosive, enlightening, emotional and often very funny. At the end of the show, the two celebrity couples meet for the first time.

Traci also lives in Los Angeles, 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 Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at 10pm ET,PT, ABC premiered the Season 4 finale of CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP, featuring actor Robert Carradine and former pro football player Terrell 'T.O.' Owens in a series first: the men swap lives instead of the women.

Robert is an actor best know for his role on the classic movie franchise REVENGE OF THE NERDS. Today, he regularly visits a reclusive private island off of Tahiti with his wife of 25 years, Edie, and their daughter Marika. Robert and his family live "off the grid" with no cell phone, Wi-Fi, computers or television. They are self sufficient with Robert fishing and gathering the family's food daily, milking goats and collecting chicken eggs. The family enjoys low key, but devoted family time where they do a lot of home crafting and Robert whittles.

Terrell is a former NFL star who played professionally for 15 years. Terrell lives in Los Angeles, CA with his friend Melissa, her daughter Mikayva and ones of Terrell's children, 15-year-old Terique. Physical fitness and sports play a huge role in Terrell's house with Terrell and Melissa working out together. When it comes to family time, Terrell tends to go off entirely on his own, ordering delivery food for only him and secluding himself in the house away from the rest of his family.

When it's time for the swap, Terrell arrives in Tahiti, but it's anything but paradise, when he finds himself on a paddle boat far from any sign of civilization. With no cell reception or modern day amenities, Terrell isn't sure what's in store for him. Back in Los Angeles, Robert is overwhelmed by the size of his new house. When the men meet their new wives for the first time, Terrell immediately learns he's responsible for providing the family's dinner while Richard feels out of place when Melissa cooks dinner for herself and the kids leaving Robert Terrell's standard take-out menus to order dinner and hang out by himself. As the week goes on, Robert gets a lesson in working out and spends time with some of Terrell's football friends while Terrell gets to work on the island chopping firewood and providing for his new family. When it's time for rules change, the men are ready to make some big changes to their new families.
