Top Ten Tantrums The World's Strictest Parents

Parents and teachers beware.

For the first time in the history of The World's Strictest Parents,

every teenager who has ever been on the show,

has been invited to London to an exclusive cinema premiere.

The thought of watching it again is cringeworthy.

They've never met before as a group,

but tonight Britain's most obnoxious teenagers

are gathering for a class reunion to celebrate their top ten tantrums.

Ross Torry went to Alabama three years ago.

Get upstairs, get upstairs, Ross.

I think my tantrums and dramatic events from Alabama are in that top ten,

they're in the top five, let's just do it that way,

and if they're not, I'm walking out.

Bex Keene unleashed hell in Atlanta.

-You will not use profanity in this building.

-SHE LAUGHS

She's being reunited with her partner in crime, Chezdan Mills.

-Oh, my God, look at your hair.

-I'm like Jedward.

I can't believe I'm in a forest in the rain

trying to have a fag with a bible on my head, it's ridiculous.

I can't watch it, it's too awkward. That is all vodka, boy.

I'm just like, "Oh, really, is that really me?"

I'd like to think me and Lizzie have some bits in there,

we had everything, we've got to have something in there.

Nicki and Jerri gave it their all in Sri Lanka.

We is in Sri Lankan ghetto with all the ghetto people.

We invited 40 teens to this evening's event,

but only half had the guts to turn up.

Which of them will be crowned top of the tantrum pops

and take the number one spot?

This programme contains strong language

Since 2008, nearly 30 families from the far corners of the globe

have opened their doors to nearly 50 of our wayward British teens,

every one of them with their own unique views on parenting.

Am I friends with my children?

No, I'm not, I'm not your friend. I'm your parent.

Drinking, drugs and sex,

they're selfish behaviours that destroy lives.

Here, you'll do as I say.

If you don't do that, you're welcome to bugger off.

And every family had their own special way of doing things.

Let me show you what the rules are.

Annoying rules that question a teenager's perception of hygiene.

-Beds will be made each morning.

-Your room must be kept tidy.

Bed and room inspections to follow.

Rules that disturb a teenager's human right to have fun.

We do not consume alcoholic beverages or addictive substances.

No smoking, no drugs.

No sexual activity except between married consenting adults.

Rules that disturb every teen's sense of fashion.

Clothing is not allowed in our home or outside that exposes breasts...

..shoulders, stomachs, backs or thighs.

And no make-up is permitted.

We do not allow piercings or tattoos.

Rules that are, quite frankly, baffling.

And boys or men are never ever allowed to pee standing up.

You may find that funny, all of my children sit.

With rules like these it was never going to be a smooth ride.

We all remember the constant rows about smoking.

You're in my house and you're a child, a minor.

In the US you have to do what an adult says.

The explosions over exposed flesh.

Oh, God, this is wrecking my head, this is wrecking my head!

And the perpetual bickering over bad language.

-Shut up and listen to me.

-Get upstairs.

-No, bollocks.

Tonight we look back at their biggest strops.

Fucking takes the piss!

Outbursts.

I'm sick of being treated like a kid when I'm not a kid.

-And freak outs.

-NADIA SCREAMS

And decide who gets the honour of having thrown the biggest ever

tantrum on The World's Strictest Parents.

-Will you move?!

-This has to stop and I mean it.

They think Mariah Carey is a diva, Mariah Carey's got nothing on me.

So grab your popcorn and cola,

kick back and savour the Top Ten Tantrums.

This is pointless.

I'm not picking up shit in, like, some slum for nothing.

Oh, no.

So it's pretty like gash really.

In the opening spot in our countdown is Peter Wrigley,

who didn't take well to the slums of India.

This is a joke. It's an actual joke.

'The part about the slums I got a lot of stick for.'

Everyone was like, "You're a complete twat."

When Peter was sent to India, he believed he was top dog...

That is all vodka, boy.

..with a very clear plan for life.

Ideal world, absolutely minted, loads of fit girls, loads of drink.

Perfect, mate.

When I was 16, I was quite arrogant at the time.

I mean, yeah, very arrogant. I don't really know why.

Looking back now I had braces, half a tooth,

my hair was all over the place, I sort of think back and think,

what made me think I was so good?

Ah, deary me, so arrogant, so vain as well.

For this middle-class boy India's extremes of poverty

were meant to touch a nerve.

But Peter had remarkably thick skin.

Oh, you are fucking joking!

-I'm sorry about that, man.

-Don't worry about it.

Oh, fuck it. I'll see you all later.

'There's always going to be poverty so my logic at the time was'

well, there is nothing I can do to change it so, fuck it,

it's not my problem, if that makes sense.

By me picking up a bit of litter I am not going to be able to help them.

No, I'm going. I'm going, mate.

No, I can't be bothered. 'I wasn't comfortable being there.'

I genuinely felt like, it was almost actually kind of scary.

There were thousands and thousands of people there and it absolutely stank.

It smelt disgusting.

Watching it back, that was ridiculous,

I wish now I had just stayed and held the bag

and not said such stupid things like, "Oh, this is gash."

I just thought, "Oh, shut up!"

No really, I'm going. I can't.

I'm done. No, seriously, I'm done. No, get out my way, seriously.

-Wait, wait.

-Get out my way.

When I was watching it, I was just like,

I just wanted to just go in and punch me, stop acting like such an idiot.

Stop acting like a bloody fool.

It's just so childish, I look like I was about 12,

throwing a little tantrum - "No, not doing it!"

So did his Indian adventure give Peter a taste of humble pie

or just a dose of Delhi belly?

Compared to now, three years later, I have got a job, I have got

a lot more motivation, I know what I want to do so it's a big, big change.

I don't know. I'd quite like to go home now to be honest.

Just 12 months ago,

17-year-old Nicki Stygall had some serious anger issues.

Oh, my God. Look who it is. That's the girl I went to fight in college.

Yeah, you walk away, I'll get you in college. I'm getting you!

'It is hard to explain how angry I was.'

I would wake up and be angry,

all day I would be angry, go to bed I'd be angry.

'Yeah, I went to anger management, went to anger management'

and got kicked out of anger management, for being angry.

In a mission to tame her wild temper, Nicki was packed off to live

with peace-loving Buddhists, the De Zylva's, in Sri Lanka.

Welcome, hello, I'm Mandy.

Initially my mission was to go to Sri Lanka,

give them loads of grief, come back, not change and be the same.

Nikki's defiant strategy has earned her the dubious honour

of owning tantrum number nine in our countdown.

No! Just take it away!

And stop your mind games, trying to talk me around everything,

it won't work.

So no screaming at me, you understand?

Don't scream at you?

You're in my ear at like five o'clock in the morning.

He brung me a glass of warm milk. I am not two years old,

I do not need a glass of milk.

Put some teabags and sugar, I would have been a bit happier.

I don't care about what you say, I want you to tell me...

I don't care what you say.

You better care because you're in this house, that's how it goes here.

Yeah, whatever, and I'm telling you go away now.

'I didn't want to be woken up at five o'clock in the morning.'

I need my sleep, I get grouchy without my sleep.

I told you this attitude has to stop.

You told me the swearing had to stop, not the attitude.

Oh, my god, are you on smack or something?

I can't figure out what you're saying most the time.

I think you have a memory lapse.

No, you have a memory lapse.

If someone had come to live in my house and swore at my mum like that,

I think I would have gone mental with them to be fair, cos it's not...

It's disrespectful. It's not respectful, is it?

-Nicki...

-Will you move? No! Go away!

-Nicki, I won't touch you.

-No, go away.

This has to stop and I mean it.

If she cannot change her attitude,

she doesn't come back into this house, you understand?

Luckily for everyone, Nicki's attitude did change in Sri Lanka,

after a rather spiritual encounter.

Me and Jerri thought Buddhist people

was where you tapped your head and rubbed your belly.

May I be free

from anger and fear,

peaceful and happy.

I'm glad that I found something that helps with my anger management

because I am quite a lot calmer now.

She's quite happy, I think.

My behaviour affected my mum in such a bad way.

She was always down, because I was always angry all the time.

Without The World's Strictest Parents now I'd be on my own.

I'd be lonely, I wouldn't have my mum.

That's the main thing really, I wouldn't be talking to my mum.

And now I smile quite a lot so everyone gets along with me better.

We're not volunteering to be their fucking skivvies for the day.

Ross Torry's hissy fit extraordinaire was a classic

example of why his parents sent him away in the first place.

As a 16-year-old, Ross used to have lots of tantrums.

When I go to college,

I expect you to pay me £31 a month for a bus pass.

-It doesn't... It don't...

-Shush, shut up, talking.

He spoke to us like a piece of dog dirt on his shoe,

that's how it felt, there was no respect whatsoever.

Before I went to Alabama, it was a nightmare.

I was just your typical diva kid, I wanted and I got.

I didn't like the word no, if they said no to me,

I would have gone mental.

Back in 2008, Ross headed off to one of America's

most conservative states

to stay with the deeply religious Garnett family.

I will never forget when I met the Garnett's for the first time,

they were just standing waving like a bunch of nutters.

I thought, "What is that, what is that?"

From the outset, Ross and the Garnett's idea of decent behaviour

were worlds apart.

One thing that we don't tolerate in the least is any kind of profanity.

So no F-bombs, you know, SH, a-hole.

And I just thought, "Are you serious, is that what you call it?"

That's not normal, just say fuck. Who cares?

The big blow-out that's won Ross the eighth spot in our top ten,

came as he was given a lesson in humility

at the local homeless shelter.

Morning, everybody. Well, they're here to volunteer.

They want to help out, assist in serving,

and I've told them that you all wouldn't mind.

I'm not going to lie, I hated it, I hated it.

It was sad seeing them all there, but...not for me, not for me.

The heat in the kitchen quickly got too much

and our drama queen boiled right over.

I've got dirt on my shoes.

Got shit on them.

I need some tissue, and no-one's getting me it,

I've got to go myself.

'That infuriated me,'

when my shoes got dirt on them that was it,

I had enough, I wanted to leave, I wanted a new pair of shoes.

Fucking takes the piss!

Is that going to change it?

To me, swearing that was my normal day-to-day. That was my dictionary.

Fuck.

Hey, quit using those words in here.

It's a matter of respect.

I shouldn't have caused a fuss. If I was really hurt by it,

I should have got a tissue myself, not demanded

the homeless people to get me a tissue, that's really bad.

But underneath his outrageous exterior,

Ross was hiding a confused and awkward teenager.

When I saw Mark come into the homeless shelter,

I thought, "Oh, no," I was really scared,

I thought he was going to go mental at me, he's going to go mental.

His temper tantrum was the first step on a road to change.

-Did you drop the F bomb?

-Yeah. Pretty hard.

So you dropped the F bomb on these homeless men?

I think so. I think they heard it.

Do you have any earthly idea how offensive it is that

you would be offended in doing work for the homeless

and how offensive it is for you to drop the F bomb in their presence?

I never say sorry, I never did,

and having to stand there in front of them

and actually apologise for saying the "F bomb", who cares?

But now looking back, I do think I should not have acted like that.

I would like to apologise for my foul language

if some of you heard today.

I'm sorry that I said it in front of you all and disrespected you.

The Garnetts helped me calm down,

not necessarily because of their rules, it was what they said.

It was the advice they gave you.

Back then I didn't know myself, I didn't know who I was, I was lost.

-I caught a fish!

-The Garnett's acceptance gave Ross the space he needed

to look closely at his behaviour and how it was destroying his family.

I think now Ross he has definitely matured a great deal, he has become

happier with himself and therefore he is just happier in his own life.

He says sorry now. If he has said something he shouldn't have said,

he will apologise to both of us.

Yeah, if he knows he is wrong, he will apologise.

The Garnetts taught me really to just grow up and become a man,

and step away from the persona I was and actually become who I am

and accept who I was, and be proud of it.

I haven't put hardly any make-up on at all,

and there's no way I'm doing what you say. That's the end of it.

Give me detention, give me detention every day, I don't care.

I want to go home, cos this place is shit!

To stroppy 17-year-old Essex girl Lucy Dodds,

education wasn't exactly a priority.

Back then, I really enjoyed getting really drunk,

hanging around, coming in late, stuff like that.

My mum did say, "Don't drink spirits,"

cos she knows we get fuck-a-lucked!

So we drank the spirits, and we're really out of it!

Then when we got sent to South Africa, I just knew it was

a totally different scenario.

You couldn't get away with anything.

Morning. After we've brought you to attention,

we will have an inspection.

Oh, no.

Yeah, the headmaster.

When I first saw him, like, I thought,

"This guy is just a big teddy bear," sort of thing,

"He ain't going to, you know, control me."

Tell me what your problem is.

I don't want to talk at the moment.

You don't want to talk about it?

I will have no other choice but to punish you.

When school closes, you will sit detention for the afternoon.

I was just so peed off because, you know,

I thought, "What is the big deal with just putting make-up on?"

I couldn't understand that that was a rule, do you know what I mean?

Because I was so used to, in school in England,

wearing as much as I wanted.

I haven't put hardly any make-up on at all,

and there's no way I'm doing what you say. That's the end of it.

Give me detention, give me detention every day, I don't care.

I want to go home, cos this place is shit!

Back in Essex, everybody had this phase of being orange,

and it was just like the done thing to get lots of orange foundation on,

everyone thought, "Yeah, I look really good, and I'm orange."

Fucking stupid place, I swear to God.

When I watch it now, it is really funny,

but at the same time, it is a bit embarrassing.

They've given me a hard time, made me cry -

I'll fucking give them a hard time now.

And then they won't forget me. Idiots!

It is embarrassing.

But whilst in South Africa, Lucy had an opportunity

to see there was more to life than make-up, if she was prepared to take the plunge.

OK, Lucy, I'd like you to come with me, please.

Mum Alma wanted her to help out at a local school for disabled kids.

Don't want to see people that are in bad conditions and stuff,

I don't want to see that or speak to them.

I can't cope with it. I don't want to see it.

And I'm not getting out of the car, so you're wasting your time.

If you want to come with me, you come now.

It's going to be easier, or you can join me in the classroom.

I've never had to do something so hard before.

I was scared that if I walked into that school

and there would be really sad cases of these kids,

that I would cry in front of them, and I really didn't want to do that.

The decision she made that day is something Lucy will remember

for the rest of her life.

I'm so glad to see you! Oh, I'm so glad to see you.

Say hello to Lucy.

Lucy.

-Tell her your name.

-Andris.

-Andris.

Going into that disabled children's school literally changed

my outlook completely.

I just look at people totally differently, I don't judge anyone.

I think of me as my life could be a lot more worse than what it is,

so make the most of it. I wish I had gone in there straightaway,

so I had longer in there,

because that was one of the best things of that time in South Africa.

I don't really wear that much make-up now,

because I have grown up,

and I have a lot more confidence, I have experienced so much more,

and I don't feel like I need to hide away from anything any more.

I'm just me, and if you don't like it, you don't like it.

But that is not the only change Lucy has made.

When I got back, it was all I could think about, and the one thing

I want to do is just help people, so now when I've got time,

I just try and raise as much money as I can

and help the people that need it.

Now, World's Strictest Parents would be nothing

without, well, the parents.

Across 14 different countries and eight American states,

families from all around the world have opened their doors to our British teens.

Wherever they're from, one thing unites them all -

they have a plan for parenting.

Satan wants to devour our kids.

He wants to pull them away, he wants to bring them into darkness.

So it's my job to not let him do that.

# Oh, say can you see... #

'Drinking, drugs and sex,'

they're selfish behaviours that destroy lives.

One has to be strict, one needs to be strict with them.

Discipline is a key in everything that you do.

If you don't have discipline, you're not a human being, you're an animal.

Come on. SHE RINGS THE BELL

When I punish, I punish really hard.

-I'm not your friend, I'm your parent.

-Go inside and get it.

Now if my child talks to me and talks back and talks back,

I don't take it lightly.

And if proof were needed that strict parenting creates

obedient, clever, disciplined children,

look no further than their own offspring.

I don't feel like rebelling.

Discipline is one thing that should be there in every child.

For children's lives, it is very good to have morals

and standards and rules in the home.

My parents just make sure everything is appropriate

for a 12-year-old godly girl before I go and do anything.

Some people might say that my parents are strict,

but we'd rather call it love.

But even in a world of strict parents,

some are stricter than others.

-Oh, my God, it's a police officer!

-You are shitting me!

-Oh, my God!

-I'm not getting out of the car.

-It's two men.

Some play by different rules.

It's two men. Is it a gay couple?

What is going on here?

Hello, how do you do?

I guess you probably didn't expect this! Welcome.

-I wasn't expecting that at all.

-I wasn't expecting that.

But there's one family that stand out

when it comes to letting our little brats have it -

the Harrises of Barbados.

There is no smoking.

So if you have any cigarettes, you have to hand them over now.

I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen.

Nathan, if you don't hand over those cigarettes right now,

you can take your journey back though the door.

Thank you.

I'm not stopping smoking.

There will be no more smoking.

Well, I'm sorry, I am 16, I am legally classed as an adult,

I am old enough...

You are not in the UK - you are in Barbados!

And you are an adult at 18 years old, my man - not at 16.

So you don't tell me nothing, but you are legally no adult,

you are not an adult here. I am finished, done, excuse me.

With that, Nathan became the one and only teen

not to stay in the family home on the first night,

while the Harrises get my vote as the strictest parents in the entire universe.

No-one has ever refused to back down against me.

It's a very shocking change!

I don't like you! I'm not coming back in your house. That's that, innit?

Bitch. You think I'm going back in that house? You must be crazy.

I'm not going back in there, I'm not.

Back to the tantrums, and at number six,

East London tough girl Sevda Huseyin and her Texan stand-off.

Hello, how are you?

Before Strictest Parents, Sevda's mum had all but given up.

It got to the stage where it was easier to give in to Sev...

If she wanted something or, you know,

if she needed money for anything,

it was easier just to give it to her.

Sevda was welcomed into the Frazee household with open arms.

She thought she'd died and gone to heaven.

The house was so big, it looked like a hotel.

Jacuzzi tubs and...

Oh, my God, this is proper nice!

It was a mansion! Wow!

And this is our outside living area right here,

I think you're going to enjoy this.

Wow. 'I thought it was going to be like a holiday.'

That was, like, proper nice, man.

The battle lines for Sevda's meltdown were drawn

before she'd even unpacked her suitcase.

Trust is the ace for us.

If you are trustworthy, you get more privileges.

Rozanne told us to go

and get our fags or something,

and I wasn't giving in that easily. I wasn't, right?

Oh, I can't do it.

She looked everywhere except the wardrobe.

See, I'm talented like that, you know?

I know where to hide things when I want something.

She looked in the most obvious places, like I'm stupid!

"Oh, my God, this is so easy, I'm going to get away with so much!"

See me, yeah? I'm just wonderful. Got my lighter right here,

got my fags hidden somewhere!

But there's only a point in hiding cigarettes

if you're going to smoke them, and Sevda was pretty determined.

Sevda.

-There's a cigarette in there?

-I just need to go toilet.

We have a bathroom right over here. No, Sevda, Sevda.

No, I need the toilet. Get off me, bruv. What are you doing?

-What are you doing?

-We have another bathroom.

Why are you touching me for?

She had to drag me out of the bathroom.

"Who are you touching, like? Do I know you?

"You're touching me like that."

She was trying to drag me, and we had a bit of a shuffle there, innit?

I'm not really proud of that, but, you know,

she started it, not me, all right? She started it.

I'm going home, bruv. I'm going home. Are you stupid?

Open the fucking door, man. I'm going home. Are you dumb?

How about putting your hands on me? Are you stupid?

Are you fucking stupid?

Dickhead.

Don't film me, bruv, seriously.

You can't act like that, you know what I mean?

You can't knock over cups and act like a big kid.

That is how I was acting, innit? Like a baby, really.

But back then, Sevda thought throwing a tantrum was

the only way to get what she wanted.

No! Why are you coming here for? Go away.

-When you are ready to talk like an adult...

-Piss off. Piss off.

-Go away.

-Until then,

I will be looking through your bathroom and your room again.

I don't like you, I'm not coming back in your house. That's that.

Bitch.

The way I saw myself was really embarrassing.

I just think, no that is not lady-like at all.

-The way I was was disgraceful.

-For the first time in her life,

throwing a massive strop wasn't getting Sevda

the reaction she wanted.

We can outlast her. So I'm not going to go out and get her,

and it could be a cold night. We'll watch her.

You think I'm going back in that house? You must be crazy.

I'm not going back in there, I'm not.

I'd just like to order three large pizzas.

Do you have a special involving those three? This is for delivery.

Bitch, man. She makes me sick.

The way they just left her outside, I think, was really good,

just let her get on with it,

and come in when you're finished sulking.

'I was hungry, and they get pizza, yeah?

'Like I was on the naughty step,'

like I was the little kid on the naughty step.

"We're getting pizza and you're on the naughty step, Sevda,

"and you're not coming in for no food." I was thinking,

"I'm really stubborn, so I will starve, boy. I don't care, innit?"

Pepperoni with pineapple.

But after being taunted by takeaway

and sitting in the dark for five hours,

the penny started to drop for Sevda.

I really don't want to walk back in this house,

but, you know, it's got to be done.

They're just so controlling and stubborn.

'What I learnt from the tantrum that I had was that'

them tantrums don't really get you nowhere.

Attitude don't get you nowhere.

Hello.

Sevda, hi!

'They are the first people

'that didn't, like, just didn't take my shit, yeah?'

What they are, they're really forgiving people.

Sorry.

For what, Sevda? What do you think you did wrong?

I lost my temper.

That isn't the girl that I want to be, really.

I didn't think I acted like that till I watched myself.

'Now, I'm patient, I'm calm, I know how to keep my temper down.'

Maturity, and I've matured a lot.

I would like to thank the Frazees for everything they have done.

Done her the world of good.

My mum, me and Mum get on so much now.

Even on the way here, we were just laughing.

My mum is just the funniest person ever.

As long as my mum is happy with me,

I haven't got anything else to prove to anyone.

Let me tell you something, Sam.

Listen, if you continue like this, you'll be in bed for 7.00.

-You are acting like a toddler.

-Fine, then, I'm a toddler.

I'm an immature little child who is 17 years old.

Three years ago, Sam was an angry young man.

I'm not the worst person in the world,

but I don't want to be here.

I've never, ever, ever wanted to be with this place.

I'm fed up with this.

He's pushed and pushed at the boundaries.

He won't take no for an answer.

I've spoken, that's the end of it. I'm not having it.

I don't fucking care.

I can admit I was a little shit back then.

'I was basically in a permanent rage,'

the littlest thing could just make me snap.

Sam was sent to the heart of Jamaica

to live with the deeply-religious Rose family,

a family with an extensive set of rules.

No alcohol, no smoking, neither indoor or outdoor. No swearing.

At the time I thought Mum was being strict and not giving me much freedom,

but the second I got there, I realised how chilled she was.

-And, Sam, those earrings have to go.

-I might have a problem with that.

Sam's big tantrum in the sun came when the family demanded

he join them on their weekly pilgrimage to church.

Sharon telling me what to do didn't exactly go down very well

at the time!

I am not going to be going into your church to worship your God

that I don't even believe in.

This is Sunday morning in Jamaica. We go to church as...

You should go and worship and you should go and enjoy yourself.

No, no, no. You don't tell me what I should do. You don't tell me what I should do.

I just didn't want to be made to look like an idiot by anyone,

regardless of whether they were an authority figure or not.

If someone made me feel stupid,

I'd tell them where to shove it, pretty much.

I'm not stepping inside your church, which is apparently already starting.

Well, Sam, let me tell you this.

Sam, don't walk away from me.

Don't walk away from me. That is one disrespect.

We don't walk away from people, we want to talk to people.

'Looking at it now, I'd just say it was stupid.

'I should have just gone in the church.'

It was only like, what, two hours inside a church,

and I put more effort into being pissed off and being outside.

I did not come out here to visit the world of Sharon Rose.

I am not here wanting to just bend over to all of Sharon's rules.

I should have just shut up and put up,

because it would have been much less effort,

and I wouldn't have looked quite such an idiot.

Let me tell you something, Sam.

Listen, if you continue like this, you'll be in bed for 7.00.

-Please!

-You're acting like a toddler.

-Fine, then, I'm a toddler.

I'm an immature little child who is 17 years old

-who seriously needs some nicotine...

-..you're going to respect church.

This is the place that I worship,

-and this behaviour will not continue here.

-Right.

So zip it up now, and that's it, that's my final word.

Back then, I was a bit of a shit with a temper,

and needed to calm down and get a clue, basically.

'The thing that really gave me a boot up the arse was

-'going to see Malachi.'

-He's only two years older than you.

While Sam was busy making his mum's life hell,

Malachi Johnson was shouldering the responsibility for his entire family.

Oh, man!

You always hear people saying,

"People have got it much worse than you,"

but when you've got it slap bang in front of you,

it's a complete slap in the face, and that really woke me up.

And that helped me grow up a lot.

Oh, I ain't complaining no more. There ain't nothing to complain about.

I'm going to basically just not be such a little whining twat.

I really have been, I think.

'It definitely improved things big time with my mum when I got back.'

We got on brilliantly for at least a good few months,

then we ended up having a bit of a row, which led to me moving out,

which led to us getting on even better now,

so it all worked out in the end.

As we enter the final phases of our countdown,

we should not forget that World's Strictest Parents isn't

just about the screaming and shouting.

Whilst away from home,

it's an opportunity for our teens to face up to home truths.

I have just not cared about anyone else out there,

not anyone else's feelings.

Home truths that cause the tears to flow...

I just want to go home and see my mum.

..flow...

..and flow some more.

So, just for the fun of it,

let's have a look at some of the biggest blubs.

Stephan Alvarez treated his mum like a skivvy.

I'm going to cry and she hasn't even answered the phone.

But when he went to Ghana, it was the first time he'd ever been

away from comforts of home.

I'm fine, how are you? I'm missing you.

And the separation had made the heart grow fonder.

Oh, I'm horrible!

'I got a lot of stick from people over the crying, actually.'

A lot of people were like, "Oh, you need to man up!"

'As sad as it is, I had never actually really been away from Mum.'

It made me realise just how easy I had it at home.

And I think that was the main bit that got me emotional.

It was great, being able to talk to my mum again, that was great.

Made me realise just how much I missed her, as well.

'Going away on World's Strictest Parents,'

it kind of made me and Mum go from very, very good best friends

to an actual mother-and-son relationship.

And the award for top teenage blubber goes to

reluctant father-to-be Wesley McGillian.

When Wes went to live with the Loperleveille family in New Jersey,

he was avoiding an important issue back home.

'When I knew I was going to be a dad,

'I just didn't want to think about it,'

just pushing it as far back in my mind as possible,

and just totally in denial.

Yeah!

But after looking after a neighbour's child for the day,

his attitude to fatherhood changed dramatically.

So you kind of just give him a spoonful, and he'll open up.

'It took away most of the fear I had, because I was just worried about

'so many things, and then seeing him,'

I just had a mental picture in my head

of what I'm going to be like with my daughter.

Wow.

It just hit me, just, like, I just want to do the best I can,

be a good dad.

'Being a dad is just amazing.'

The scare factor doesn't go away, it gets worse,

'but I'll always be there for her,

'and I love her to bits, it's just unbelievable.

'It's scary to think where I would be now

'if it weren't for World's Strictest Parents.'

You know, my daughter is my life.

I won't let you cheapen yourself in front of me!

I'm going home. Seriously, I'm going home. I don't care what you say.

Now fucking get it out my face, seriously.

In Ghana, it wasn't so much the teenagers

but the parents that were throwing the tantrums.

In my home and in my boundaries, I do not allow those things.

Vida was, like, a hard woman. She had a really tough shell.

Stephan Alvarez and Lizzy Pol went to live

with the Adega family in Accra, Ghana.

-Hi, Lizzy, how are you?

-I'm fine. I'm a bit scared.

You are? You don't have to be.

From the very start, Vida had a problem with Lizzy.

There are a couple of things that I don't encourage.

No short dresses, skirts or revealing clothes.

Everything shows, even before you're out.

I do it all the time.

-You do?

-But just because they're so in your face...

-Yeah.

'Lizzy had gone out there going for a suntan,'

whereas with their religion, it was, "Cover up as much as possible,

"don't show yourself off to everyone,"

which was the complete opposite of why Lizzy went out there.

Things only got worse when the parents thought the teens were

getting to know each other too well.

'Over here in Africa, we don't accept two young people'

fraternising to that extent, you know?

I have come across so many people who,

due to sexual immorality, have virtually lost everything.

Let us keep ourselves pure.

'I was purely just mates with him.'

I thought maybe we could wind her up a bit,

because I was just really irritated at the fact that she was saying,

"You can't speak to him, you can't hug him."

I was like, "But I want somebody to hug! I've got nobody to hug!"

With the parents on their guard, Stephan and Lizzy came up with

-a crafty plan.

-'We're not flirting,'

we're just going to, like,

over-exaggerate the fact that we are "overly friendly".

God, sorry!

'We decided to work together to see'

just how far we could push everything,

and we did, we made a great double team, though.

LIZZY SCREAMS

We threw water over each other, had a little water fight,

and that wound her up a bit.

-Lizzy. All right, Lizzy, what do you have under there?

-A bikini.

-What's in your belly button?

-A belly bar!

-Eee!

-Really!

-It's stylish.

-Who's going to look down there, anyway?

It's stylish for me to touch.

A family visit to the beach brought all the issues to a boiling point.

And then we got to the beach, and it was like, "Oops, OK!"

I think we wound her up a bit too much.

'I didn't do anything wrong, I actually didn't.

'I went in the sea, my trousers got wet,'

I took them off because they were falling off me.

But Stefan remembers the event slightly differently.

Wearing the trousers out into the sea and getting them soaking wet

so she had to have the bikini on,

that was all pre-planned before we even got there.

The whole lot was pre-planned, and it was going to wind the family up

as much as physically possible.

And that's mainly what the beach trip was for.

Lizzie, I think you've started being a little insolent to me and I don't like it.

I know the two of you are alone but don't get funny ideas.

-We're friends. Like, he's the only person that I can talk to on the trip.

-Yes, well, you can talk to me.

-Yeah, but as a person that I've met...

-No, no, no, no.

Cos I've already got a boyfriend at home.

Yes, but that's you but I don't like that

and it's wrong for you to do that.

-Do you think your mum would let you do that?

-What? Have a boyfriend? Yeah.

She's allowing it because you're so saucy!

-Cos you're doing it to me right now! I won't let you cheapen yourself in front of me!

-I'm going home.

Seriously, I'm going home. I don't care what you say.

Now fucking get it out of my face, seriously.

'I'm not embarrassed about sticking up for myself on the beach

'because I was made out to be something that I'm not.

'I'm not cheap,'

I'm not saucy, I'm just me.

Oi, dickhead, open the gate!

Open the gate!

Natural charmer Rosie Hynd would do anything to get a reaction.

I'm going to trash your house until you open the gate.

That's the reason why you argue,

cos you want to spark a reaction.

Rosie had just been kicked out of school in Puerto Rico

when the Hill family doled out the punishments.

The consequences are severe. You have no privileges, Rosie.

You are not allowed to use the internet.

I think my punishment was definitely so over the top.

Like, I mean, the list just went on and on.

You are not allowed to use the telephone,

you are not allowed to watch television and you will help out.

I'm going home.

Unable to accept the punishment, Rosie wanted out of there.

Her outrageous actions puts her straight in at number two on our countdown.

I don't want to be with these people.

I don't like them. They're nothing to me.

The Hills lived in a rainforest

and their nearest neighbour lived over a mile away.

But that didn't stop Rosie.

I'm fucking getting him to open the gate, I'm not staying here.

-How can you actually do this, man?

-I don't know.

I'm not staying in this shit-hole.

They are the most awful people I've ever met in my whole life. Ever.

Oi, dickhead, open the gate.

Open the gate!

Answer me when I'm talking to you. Open the gate!

'It was annoying me the fact that he wasn't retaliating,'

do you know what I mean?

Like, cos if you are angry and you are shouting

and someone is just sitting there, just like, "Hmm,"

do you know what I mean, it irritates you more.

I will smash your car window.

-Why don't you go and lie down for a while?

-No, I don't want to lie down,

I want to get out of this shit-hole.

Why?

Can you not ignore me?

Why won't you open the gate?

The more he didn't react to me the more angry I got.

-The keys to get out of the gate.

-All right, honey, go try those keys.

What fucking key is this?

I'll fucking drive one of your fucking cars.

That's a car key, that car isn't here any more.

Well, then you won't mind if I do this then, will you?

Watching it back is just so embarrassing,

cos everyone's like, "I can't believe you did that."

I can't believe I did it. It was just so awful.

Eight hours later and with Rosie still not getting the attention she desired...

-We are going to smoke in their car.

-..she had a new plan.

CAR HORN BLARES REPEATEDLY

Ed's non-confrontational tactics were winning, over Rosie's anger.

It was really clever when he came out and took the battery out.

I probably wouldn't have thought about that.

I would have just tried to get me out of the car.

He just came and he did make me look like an idiot.

-I don't understand why you won't kick me out.

-I don't want to kick you out.

Why? What do I have to do to be kicked out?

Shall I go and...teach your little boy some really bad swear words?

Will that work?

No, let me tell you this.

Today, you have shown me that, in fact, you are not 16,

-you are six years old.

-Well...

Have your fit and when we're done, when you're done, then...

-No, listen to me. I'm speaking.

-I'm done, I'm done with you. I'm done.

-No listen...

-I'm done.

'He did have a point with the six-year-old thing.'

I don't know, I think I was acting maybe like eight years old.

And the moral of the story is, Rosie?

My shouting and screaming didn't get me anywhere

so it was a bit pointless.

Oh!

I'm sick of being treated like a little kid, when I'm not.

Do I look like I'm fucking ten years old? No! Idiot!

James Gowing may not have liked being treated like a little kid

but his behaviour at the time was far from grown-up.

Before Utah,

I was pretty much an angry rebel and carefree,

a lot of drugs, a lot of drink.

-What percentage is it?

-£2.40.

-7.5.

-It's 7.5.

Nah!

James' selfish behaviour was ruining his relationship with his family.

My mum was pretty much ready to kick me out,

she was, literally, at the end of her last straw.

I think she was ready to disown me cos I was that bad.

James needs to realise that he has got potential

but I need him to make these change... Sorry.

Upon arrival in Utah,

James brought a large slice of rebellious attitude...

-Vodka and coke.

-..right to the front door of the Peck family.

Can I actually smell what you're drinking to make sure it's not alcohol or something?

Oh, whoa! I can smell it from here.

It was the last drink I was going to have for the whole week.

We obviously couldn't drink in America because we wasn't 21.

That's just a waste now. We should've drank it in the car.

Are you ready to go in?

Obviously turning up with vodka isn't going to give a good first impression of us, is it?

She must have thought, "Gosh, I have got myself into something really bad this week."

After a rocky start, James' top tantrum,

that puts him at number two in our countdown,

came when Nicholeen asked him to join in with home schooling.

-Hey, James, come here, please.

-No, man!

My attitude to education then was screw it, I don't really care.

Instead of obeying the family rules,

James did what James did best and rebelled.

My intention for sunbathing was just to catch some rays.

It was a hot day, I was hot and it was boring me

so I thought I am just going to chill and have some sun.

James was not backward in letting the Pecks know how he felt.

-I don't want to learn maths, English and science.

-You're acting like you know

what my plan was for the day, which you don't.

Home schooling is about learning whatever you want. Did you know that?

-Here we go, I'll do it with you both together. Are you planning on going too?

-Yeah.

-We're not little kids.

-No, I know you're not.

We're 17 years old and you're treating us like we're 10.

-MAN:

-You're acting like a three-year-old.

How am I acting like a three-year-old? I'm 17 years old, I can look after myself.

-OK, talk calmly.

-No, because I'm sick of being treated like a little kid when I'm not a little kid.

Do I look like I'm fucking ten years old? No! Idiot!

OK.

Are they running away, Mom? Mom, are they running away?

I was 17 at the time and they are obviously learning about kids' stuff.

That's why I felt like a kid because it made me feel dumb, them making me read out loud.

I'm not being funny, but I'm more intelligent than that.

After the initial clashes, things changed dramatically in Utah

and James struck a close bond with father of the family, Spencer.

You all ready?

Me and Spencer did have a good bond

because it was nice to have a male figure

who was doing the things that my dad should have done for me.

My dad would never have even thought of taking me to go and drive a car.

He wouldn't talk to me about some of the things Spencer did.

He made me feel really welcome. He is an amazing guy, Spencer, he's really cool.

Nearly three years down the line

and James' attitude to education has changed dramatically.

My attitude towards education is completely different.

I am going to university, as well, so my attitude is...

I just want to carry on studying until I feel like I know enough

to be able to break into the fashion industry to know where I want to go.

I am just going to keep on learning until I get there

cos everyday you learn something new and I really love education.

Lessons learned from the Pecks has altered James' priorities in life.

I think the thing I learned the most from the Pecks

was family are an important thing in life.

When I came back,

I definitely changed my attitude towards my mum, changed completely.

I really thank them for opening my eyes to family

and how important everything is.

So we have seen tantrums about make-up, dress code, charity work

and of course cigarettes

but World's Strictest Parents is far from all about the squabbles.

Don't film me, bruv, seriously.

The intention of World's Strictest Parents has always been to make argumentative teens

-see that rules and discipline aren't just made out of spite.

-I love you too.

The teens are there to experience a life with boundaries

in which families can operate in a peaceful and loving way.

I would be proud to have you as my son.

I owe so much to the Garnetts, I love them so much.

You are both amazing.

'Joe and Scott has always been an inspiration to me.'

I owe everything to them.

-Thank you so much.

-Yes, my brother.

World's Strictest Parents definitely gave me the kick up the arse that I needed.

My mum and dad are really proud of me for going to South Africa and they know it was a hard experience

but they know that it has changed me, so it was worthwhile.

I thing I learnt most from the Pecks is that family...

family are an important thing in life.

It was a wake-up call for me, a real wake-up call.

And it has changed my life a lot.

Bye!

This programme has really changed my life.

I am happy, I'm so much happier, I like who I am now.

You really are gorgeous people and I'm never, ever, ever going to forget you.

There is not one regret. From the moment I got on the plane to the moment I got off, no regrets.

So, have you worked it out yet?

Before the show, I was a proper slut, really.

I think you were worse than me.

I was a brat. Drug abusing, drinking...

I was horrible.

Put it out. You are not getting off to a good start with the Kimboroughs.

When Bex Keene and Chezdan Mills went to live in Atlanta,

they met with a brick wall, in the shape of the Kimborough family.

-You want to push me there? Take me there?

-Yeah.

-You messing with the wrong one.

-What you going to do?

-What would I do?

-You are not my dad.

-I don't care, I'm not trying to be your dad.

-No.

-You will!

-No, I won't.

-You will!

-No, I won't.

You will not use profanity in this building!

I think the family were just...mental.

-You know, they were nice in their own religious, weird way.

-They were nice, they were just mad.

What is wrong with you, honey?! AARRGGHH!

Nice mad.

Mad maybe, Chez, but that wasn't going to stop this God-loving family

from encouraging our teens with a little religious education.

I'll see you guys in about 20 minutes, OK?

Sunday School was so, so, so boring.

You awake? You awake? OK.

Just reading the Bible - how boring can you get?

-You guys have a question?

-No, I'm just bored. Can we go, please?

All I was doing in that room was ageing.

Chez!

As so often with these two, when the going got tough...

-Run, run, run, run, run.

-Up the hill, up the hill.

In the trees.

-We just kept running away cos, like...

-It's childish.

All this God shit... We're prisoners.

Can't believe I'm stood in the fucking forest in the rain

trying to have a fag with a bible on my head. It's ridiculous!

They were there to teach us right from wrong,

not teach us about religion, that wasn't going to do nothing.

But when religious education became full-time academia,

Bex had met her match.

-We're fair, do you understand me?

-Yes.

-Yes, Ma'am.

-Yes, Ma'am.

And don't switch your neck at me. You messing with the wrong one.

Sister Patrice was one of the biggest influences when I was there.

-What you going to do?

-What WOULD I do? What would you do?

Well, I'd knock you out but obviously I can't.

-Let's go.

-Don't touch me!

-You better get out of here.

Sister Patrice's tough-love approach broke through Bex's hard exterior.

So why are you determined to destroy yourself?

I'm not determined to destroy myself.

Yes, you are, sweetheart.

You're 17 years old, you know how you are living?

You're living like a person that has been OUT of life.

Now, listen, we are trying to show you how to be a better person.

Now I can see I am, like, a daughter from hell. I WAS like such a cow.

If you are going to succeed,

you're going to have to push through what's uncomfortable.

She is one of those people that didn't have a go at you,

she just made you believe in yourself,

and that's what you need. You don't need to be shouted at

and told this is right and this is wrong,

you need somebody to believe in you.

Two and a half years down the line

and are Chez and Bex still running away?

I really did grow up, because I just realised what I wanted to do,

I focused on it, I'm trying my hardest in everything.

I've got a boyfriend so I'm not a slag any more.

Yeah, you do just generally grow up

and you realise the life that you was living you'd end up nowhere.

-We were little shits, though, weren't we?

-You was.

-You was, as well!

So that wraps it up for the top ten tantrums.

But there's a brand-new series of the World's Strictest Parents

coming your way.

A dozen more rebellious teens drive their families to despair...

Come and get me, I'm drinking underage.

I don't really care what people think about me. Rules are made for breaking.

..and a new batch of traditional parents volunteer to straighten them out...

If I'm the head of the house, I expect them to obey these rules, whether we are right or not.

..with mixed results.

-Do you want a punch? Do you want a punch?

-No, gosh!

Get off me! Get off!

Do me a favour and for once, put some effort into your life.

Move out, move out, just move out!

That's what I'm trying to do, walk away and she's following me.

They can't programme me.

If all the British teenagers were like them... No good.
