For maximum drama, the families are almost always polar opposites. Ashley&#8217;s family, conservative Christians, traded their mother Marguerite (who referred to herself as a &#8220;God Warrior&#8221;) with a woman from a New Age &#8220;hippie&#8221; family. The episode probably went past the producers&#8217; wildest dreams when Marguerite had a freak-out and began screaming in front of the cameras. When reunited with her family at the end of the episode, her eldest daughter Ashley cried to see her mother&#8217;s behavior.<br \/>\nIn her brief amount of screen time, Ashley came across as a kind and warm-hearted young woman. Even though she was alarmed by her mother&#8217;s outburst, she seemed concerned rather than embarrassed. At the end of each episode, each mom is given $50,000 to give to the other family, allocated any way they want. Ashley was given $15,000, partly to give her enough financial security to move out on her own.<br \/>\nAshley was driving a minivan when she apparently ran off the road, reports <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realityblurred.com\/realitytv\/archives\/trading_spouses\/2007_Sep_26_ashley_perrin_dies\">Reality Blurred<\/a>.
