Alabama

Ten unruly British teenagers are sent to live with strict families in five different countries in an experiment to find out the right way to bring up a child.

Naomi and Ross spend a week under the strict regime of the God-fearing Garnett family in Alabama. The teens immediately flout the rules and Ross is livid when dad Mark goes through his belongings. It's the summer holidays but the teens must work in a homeless shelter downtown, and as they never lift a finger at home, working hard is a big shock. Though it is illegal for teens to smoke in Alabama, it doesn't stop Naomi asking one of the homeless men for a cigarette. She endures the wrath of Mark when she gets home, while Ross is in trouble for leaving the shelter without permission.

But after spending another day at the shelter, the teens reflect on their actions and Mark takes them out for some quality 'Daddy' time. The Garnetts' strict but loving regime touches Ross and Naomi and they return home determined to mend their ways.
