There's a TV show on ABC called Wife Swap, where couples trade off spouses for a bit, and the couples are deliberately chosen to make the most of their differences - with the promise of ensuring fireworks.

I'm sure Fred would have his hands full with my wife. She's armed, you know. ;)

People who get on reality TV shows are encouraged to act like complete pricks, it provides 'drama' and gets people to watch. The fact that an enviromental lobbyist in San Francisco might have a dim view of rural Missourians is not really wholly unexpected, either.
