When Celebrity Wife Swap comes back on ABC on June 23, expect an even more explosive episode than ever before: Bristol Palin and Joan Rivers are trading places for one week, USA Today reports.

Granted, neither is a wife and some might argue that Bristol isn’t even much of a celebrity anymore, but this sounds like the perfect recipe for a ratings hit.

“Bristol and her son, Tripp, 4, live in Wasilla, Alaska, with Willow. Needless to say, snow in May is a surprise for LA-based Melissa and Joan, who arrive to find that Tripp rules the roost,” USA Today writes.

“According to ABC's release, Melissa ‘finds it a challenge to deal with Tripp's boyish exuberance.’ She thinks he needs more structure and a daily routine,” adds the same media outlet.

Meanwhile, Bristol has to move in with Joan’s daughter and her son in Los Angeles.

Expect fireworks. And perhaps plenty of tears as well. Will you be tuning in?
