Donna Deekens isn’t a fan of unladylike behavior.
The Midlothian woman, who runs a company that hosts tea parties and teaches “little southern belles to bloom with femininity,” will be featured on ABC’s “Wife Swap” at 8 p.m. Friday. Suffice to say, she does not have an easy time switching lives with a mom from upstate New York who bench presses 341 pounds.
Since my T-D comrade Bill Lohmann interviewed Deekens this week for a story running Friday, I won’t spill too many details about her—make sure to check out the story for his full scoop.
BUT, since I already watched a screener of the Deekens episode, I wanted to share this priceless exchange.
As an introduction to Deekens, the show’s voiceover guy notes that the etiquette enthusiast “would never sully her hands with yard work” and also that she thinks, “sweating is for the beasts.”
In response, Deekens’ New York counterpart, the rough-edged Sandy McCaslin tartly notes, “I’m the epitome of the beast.”
And when Deekens first enters the McCaslin’s home – an old school converted into a gym – the look on her face is reason enough to set the TiVo.

It’s nice to see graciousness put to the test.
