Ah, children. They're cute, they say funny things, then before you know it,

0:00:020:00:05

they're all grown up and ready to fly the nest, starting a life of their own.

0:00:050:00:09

Well, that' s how its supposed to work.

0:00:090:00:12

Stop acting like a spoilt brat!

0:00:120:00:15

Well, I am a spoilt brat!

0:00:150:00:17

In these recession riddled times

0:00:170:00:19

it's harder than ever for young people to get a job,

0:00:190:00:21

so what chance do these reprobates have

0:00:210:00:23

of standing on their own two feet?

0:00:230:00:25

Mum!

0:00:260:00:27

This lot are selfish...

0:00:270:00:29

You give me money so I don't have to work that is my reality.

0:00:290:00:32

..sponging...

0:00:320:00:34

Give me the change.

0:00:340:00:35

-..lazy...

-You ain't ironed that yet, have ya?

0:00:350:00:37

Jack, I've just ironed it.

0:00:370:00:39

..and completely useless.

0:00:390:00:40

I don't know how to use the washing machine, the microwave, the dryer.

0:00:400:00:45

I can lick my elbow.

0:00:450:00:46

Their parents are sick and tired of waiting for them to grow up and move out.

0:00:460:00:50

But they have only got themselves to blame.

0:00:500:00:52

Grace has been one of my biggest mistakes in life.

0:00:520:00:54

I'm ashamed of myself, really.

0:00:540:00:57

I've reached a point where I can't do it any more.

0:00:570:00:59

So they are finally kicking them out and forcing them

0:00:590:01:02

to run their own home.

0:01:020:01:04

Not one bit of food in the house.

0:01:070:01:08

We've got to buy sheets, pillows, everything.

0:01:080:01:11

I know this isn't prison,

0:01:110:01:13

but they're doing better off in there than we are here.

0:01:130:01:16

They are going to be made to get jobs like the rest of us.

0:01:180:01:21

When you've finished socialising, do some work.

0:01:210:01:23

Let me know when it's convenient, you know what I mean.

0:01:230:01:27

I've never seen such a negative group, such a negative attitude.

0:01:270:01:30

-I don't care.

-No, you don't cos I'm meant to be head chef.

0:01:300:01:33

Aaaggh!

0:01:330:01:35

It makes you despair for humanity seeing people like this.

0:01:350:01:40

It's all under the watchful gaze of their own parents,

0:01:400:01:43

who will judge their progress.

0:01:430:01:45

I just thought they were acting like spoilt brats, every one of them.

0:01:450:01:49

And each week the most useless gets the boot.

0:01:490:01:52

At stake, the prize of a round the world trip.

0:01:540:01:57

Cheers!

0:01:570:01:58

Will a month of independent living finally make them grow up?

0:01:580:02:03

I can't live with animals.

0:02:030:02:05

This is who we are.

0:02:050:02:06

-Before I smack you in the face.

-I hate her.

0:02:080:02:10

I didn't realise how hard it was going to be for me.

0:02:100:02:14

Or will they remain young, dumb and living off Mum?

0:02:140:02:17

BEEP, I've had it.

0:02:170:02:19

Our young dumbers are two weeks into their journey of self-discovery.

0:02:300:02:35

Why do I have to live with people who act like this?

0:02:350:02:38

Such a pair of dickheads.

0:02:380:02:39

And they've discovered they are definitely, absolute little brats.

0:02:390:02:43

I can't live with animals.

0:02:430:02:45

This is who we are!

0:02:450:02:46

Last week, the house divided into two camps -

0:02:460:02:50

Camp Tom and Jack - no pun intended...

0:02:500:02:52

-This is true bromance right here.

-..and camp the rest of the house.

0:02:520:02:56

Can't be arsed being around them two fucking knob heads.

0:02:560:02:59

Don't talk to anyone, don't touch any of our stuff.

0:02:590:03:02

They're not talking to us and we're not talking to them. We've completely fell out.

0:03:020:03:07

But not making up, quickly turned to making out,

0:03:070:03:10

and the team joined forces to run a pop up restaurant from their home.

0:03:100:03:13

-Have any of you got any catering experience?

-Toast.

0:03:130:03:17

-Have you two cooked?

-A microwave burger.

0:03:170:03:20

But the team only managed to cook up a disaster.

0:03:200:03:23

-We've got a huge problem.

-We've got six people that ain't got seats.

0:03:230:03:28

-What are those big lumps in it?

-Oh!

0:03:280:03:29

-That's the paper out of the tub.

-I'm losing my bloody temper!

0:03:290:03:34

What we going to do?

0:03:340:03:35

And they failed to make their boss, or themselves any money.

0:03:350:03:38

You've lost me £150. I'm glad you lot find it funny, cos I don't.

0:03:380:03:44

It's up to their parents to decide each week

0:03:470:03:49

who goes home, based on their behaviour and attitude.

0:03:490:03:52

-Is anyone sorry yet?

-This is war.

0:03:520:03:55

Really quite shocked about the way she was behaving.

0:03:550:03:58

I would have went absolutely mental if Jack done that.

0:03:580:04:01

See you later guys, love you.

0:04:010:04:04

Jade was the third person to be sent packing

0:04:040:04:06

for making no effort to improve her behaviour.

0:04:060:04:10

So now there are five, and they're competing to win

0:04:100:04:13

a round the world trip and finally gain some independence from their parents.

0:04:130:04:17

There's 18-year-old hell raiser Ruby Jo

0:04:190:04:21

who treats her mother like a skivvy.

0:04:210:04:23

Mum! Mum! Mum! Will you zip my dress up please?

0:04:230:04:26

If she didn't give me what I want then I wouldn't be like this now. It's her own fault.

0:04:260:04:31

19-year-old lazy bones Tom won't lift a finger for anyone.

0:04:320:04:35

I can't be expected to run around after other people

0:04:350:04:38

they should be the ones running around after me.

0:04:380:04:40

Ryan, who's 18, has yet to join us in the real world.

0:04:400:04:43

If I were the king I would make sure

0:04:440:04:47

everybody was proper good looking and could afford spray tans.

0:04:470:04:51

19-year-old ladies man Jack

0:04:510:04:54

thinks everyone should be at his beck and call.

0:04:540:04:56

I deserve to be spoilt and looked after so well.

0:04:560:04:59

It's because I'm awesome. I know I'm meant for higher things,

0:04:590:05:02

so people should treat me as royalty.

0:05:020:05:04

And 20-year-old daddy's girl Gracie, gets what she wants at any cost.

0:05:040:05:09

This will probably put my dad in debt for the next 10 years,

0:05:090:05:13

but I just want this car. I don't really care what it costs.

0:05:130:05:16

Until now, the group have failed to impress in any

0:05:180:05:20

of the work placements set by their parents.

0:05:200:05:23

Oh, no! I broke a nail!

0:05:230:05:26

The girls don't want to get their hands dirty.

0:05:260:05:28

There's piss round the toilet!

0:05:280:05:31

And the boys have been messing around.

0:05:310:05:33

They are giving a bad impression of my company.

0:05:330:05:37

This week their parents send them to work with creatures

0:05:370:05:40

with similar manners, hygiene and social skills.

0:05:400:05:43

Sleep with her, good boy.

0:05:430:05:45

But will becoming a dogs body in a dog shelter

0:05:450:05:48

make them any more responsible?

0:05:480:05:51

-Sorry can you just try...

-I didn't mean to.

0:05:510:05:54

I think you should maybe take it a bit more seriously. And...

0:05:540:05:58

Sorry.

0:05:580:05:59

It's the start of a new week, but some things never change.

0:06:050:06:08

Last night the group decided to empty the contents

0:06:150:06:17

of their bean bags all over the floor.

0:06:170:06:19

In the cold light of day, maybe not such a good idea.

0:06:200:06:24

But for Ruby Jo, who's come close to being booted out before,

0:06:240:06:28

it's an opportunity to show the parents she's starting to grow up.

0:06:280:06:32

I've been in bottom now twice in a row,

0:06:320:06:35

so, clearly, I've got to step my game up.

0:06:350:06:38

So after a quick bite to eat, Ruby Jo leads the clean-up of the house.

0:06:380:06:42

The only problem is they don't have a vacuum cleaner.

0:06:420:06:45

-I'm going to the neighbours to get a hoover off them.

-OK.

0:06:450:06:49

Let's hope it's a big one.

0:06:490:06:52

-Hello.

-Hi, we're from number 30 over there and we were wondering if we'd be able to borrow a hoover.

0:06:540:06:59

-And we'll bring it back.

-Of course.

0:06:590:07:01

-Is that OK?

-Hold on a sec, I'll just go get it.

-Thank you.

0:07:010:07:04

Thanks a lot. We'll bring it straight back for you.

0:07:060:07:09

-It works pretty well so good luck.

-OK.

0:07:090:07:11

Great, so now all they need to do is clean up

0:07:110:07:14

and then return the vacuum cleaner to the kind, elderly, trusting neighbour.

0:07:140:07:18

-Bag full or clog. Oh!

-You've broken his hoover.

0:07:230:07:28

Go and ask another neighbour if they've got a better hoover.

0:07:280:07:32

Excuse me. I was wondering, have you got a hoover I could borrow because our hoover's just broke.

0:07:320:07:38

We'll look after it. Thanks a lot. I'll be back soon.

0:07:380:07:42

Just cos they live in medieval houses

0:07:470:07:49

doesn't mean they need medieval hoovers.

0:07:490:07:52

It's got a bag and the bag's full.

0:07:530:07:55

That's a hoover bag - think how big the bean bag was.

0:07:550:07:58

After identifying the problem with her knowledge of physics,

0:07:580:08:01

Ruby Jo puts her brilliant mind to work.

0:08:010:08:04

Why don't we take the bag out and hover up without the bag?

0:08:040:08:06

It would just come straight back out again.

0:08:060:08:09

That's the most stupid thing you've ever said.

0:08:090:08:11

But Ruby Jo isn't the only Einstein.

0:08:110:08:13

-Why don't we all get hairdryers?

-Hairdryers?

0:08:130:08:16

-Yeah, as long as it's out of sight...

-It's out of mind.

0:08:160:08:19

While most of the group get back to cleaning/moving the mess

0:08:260:08:30

to a different part of the lounge, Jack and Tom get back to relaxing.

0:08:300:08:34

Thinking back now, the bean bag was probably a bad idea.

0:08:400:08:44

Job done, and Ruby Jo returns what she's borrowed.

0:08:440:08:49

-Did it do the trick?

-Yeah, it did, thanks.

-Good. Is it still working?

0:08:490:08:52

Yeah, it's fine.

0:08:520:08:54

It is, but not as effective as hairdryers apparently.

0:08:540:08:57

So, the beanbag problem was just the tip of the iceberg.

0:08:580:09:02

The rest of the house is also a mess.

0:09:020:09:04

And Ruby Jo, keen to clean up her act

0:09:040:09:07

and the house, gets stuck in.

0:09:070:09:10

While best buds Jack and Tom, exhausted from relaxing downstairs,

0:09:100:09:14

give themselves a break and relax upstairs.

0:09:140:09:17

Once the house is tidy, we can chill and not worry about it.

0:09:170:09:20

I just wish people would help a bit more.

0:09:200:09:23

They're cleaning just to look good.

0:09:230:09:26

Yeah, they're trying to make themselves look good.

0:09:260:09:28

I'm pissed off. Jack and Tom said they cleaned the bathroom,

0:09:280:09:32

but I just picked shit off the floor. I don't know that they've cleaned.

0:09:320:09:35

Back home in Stockport, 18-year-old super brat Ruby Jo

0:09:370:09:41

leaves a constant trail of muck in her wake.

0:09:410:09:44

It takes three hours to find a shoe. The other one will be miles away.

0:09:440:09:48

Single mum Jo waits hand and foot on her daughter,

0:09:480:09:51

answering to her every demand.

0:09:510:09:53

Mum, where's the toilet rolls?

0:09:530:09:56

I do feel, a lot of the time, like I'm a slave for Ruby Jo.

0:09:560:10:00

She doesn't wash her own clothes.

0:10:000:10:02

She doesn't wash any pots.

0:10:020:10:04

She doesn't even flush the toilet a lot of the time.

0:10:040:10:07

Can you remember to flush the toilet, please?!

0:10:100:10:13

I'm sick of asking you.

0:10:130:10:15

It doesn't really take much for my mum to flush the toilet, does it?

0:10:150:10:19

It's not a big chore, like washing my clothes.

0:10:190:10:21

Tom and Jack, it seems, aren't toilet trained either,

0:10:210:10:24

which is giving Ruby Jo a glimpse of what life must be like

0:10:240:10:27

for her long-suffering mum.

0:10:270:10:29

Look at that!

0:10:290:10:30

I don't fancy sitting on that for, like, days.

0:10:300:10:33

It's disgusting.

0:10:330:10:35

Their lazy attitude is really pushing Ruby Jo over the edge.

0:10:350:10:39

13 days we've been here, right.

0:10:390:10:41

To be honest, I've not ever once seen them get off their arse

0:10:410:10:45

and help when they've seen us all cleaning.

0:10:450:10:47

I can't think of one time I've seen them clean, I really can't.

0:10:470:10:51

So, Ruby Jo, never one to shy away from confrontation,

0:10:510:10:54

decides to let the boys know how she feels.

0:10:540:10:56

Jack, you didn't get up once when we was cleaning.

0:10:560:10:59

-Mmm.

-So you're not being part of it?

-No.

0:10:590:11:01

Right, so you two are just going to sit and watch everyone else clean up?

0:11:010:11:05

I said I'll clear up after myself if I make any mess.

0:11:050:11:09

But we've all used the bathroom!

0:11:090:11:11

You don't bother to clean it, or offer to clean it.

0:11:110:11:13

I've cleaned up my towels.

0:11:150:11:16

I've cleaned up someone who pissed all over the toilet seat.

0:11:160:11:20

I sit down!

0:11:200:11:23

I've been sitting down as well!

0:11:230:11:25

I always sit down.

0:11:250:11:26

Yeah, well I wouldn't bother sitting on it, it's fucking disgusting.

0:11:260:11:30

I don't like living like a tramp in a manky toilet.

0:11:300:11:32

So...

0:11:320:11:34

It's like you're just avoiding the fact that you haven't done anything.

0:11:340:11:38

So, that went down well.

0:11:390:11:42

As well as struggling to clean,

0:11:520:11:54

our domestically challenged group are struggling to eat.

0:11:540:11:57

They've been surviving on budget options of 10p noodles, crisps,

0:11:570:12:00

tinned tomatoes, and eating them out of dog bowls.

0:12:000:12:05

I'm eating tomatoes for the second day in a row.

0:12:050:12:07

That's all we've got in the house.

0:12:070:12:10

Whilst all of them complain about not eating properly,

0:12:100:12:12

its Jack's diet that sounds most unsavory.

0:12:120:12:15

We're just eating crap.

0:12:150:12:17

Crap?

0:12:170:12:18

There's, like, no meat whatsoever. It's pure shit.

0:12:180:12:21

Surely that's bad for you?

0:12:210:12:23

The group gets a budget of about £7 a day,

0:12:230:12:26

which is the equivalent to Jobseeker's Allowance.

0:12:260:12:29

It feels nice just to see that purple head again.

0:12:320:12:35

Having lived on E numbers and alcohol for two weeks,

0:12:350:12:38

the group plan a healthy shop now their money has arrived.

0:12:380:12:42

Right, bread, eggs, potatoes, milk, crisps, cheese, butter, teabags,

0:12:420:12:46

sausages, chicken, bacon.

0:12:460:12:48

But the lure of someone else cooking them cheap fried food

0:12:540:12:57

is too strong for the weak-willed young dumbers to resist.

0:12:570:13:01

I'm starving, can't wait to eat. Get a proper meal inside us.

0:13:010:13:05

We've got our budget, we're treating ourselves.

0:13:050:13:08

Can I please have two eggs...

0:13:080:13:10

Only five minutes after receiving their budget, disaster strikes.

0:13:100:13:15

Ruby, where's my money?

0:13:210:13:24

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

0:13:240:13:25

Ruby, where's my money?

0:13:250:13:27

I've lost my money.

0:13:270:13:29

Check your back pocket.

0:13:290:13:30

I've got my change.

0:13:320:13:35

Did you have it in the shop?

0:13:380:13:40

Yeah. I pulled it out and then gave you change, which I've lost.

0:13:400:13:44

The girls try and retrace their steps to find Gracie's lost money.

0:13:450:13:49

I promise you, I did not! I'm 100%...

0:13:490:13:53

You didn't happen to find any money on the floor in here?

0:13:540:13:57

No.

0:13:570:13:58

If there was anything, they'd put it in the till and tell me.

0:13:580:14:01

Right, no problem. Thank you.

0:14:010:14:03

-Careful.

-I ain't got nothing to be careful with. I've lost it all.

0:14:030:14:06

I'm really fucking pissed off.

0:14:060:14:08

It's not even funny.

0:14:090:14:11

What am I supposed to do for four days with nothing?

0:14:110:14:14

Spoilt 20-year-old Gracie

0:14:160:14:18

is not used to worrying about money.

0:14:180:14:20

I am spoilt. I love every second of getting spoilt.

0:14:200:14:23

Gracie does get whatever Gracie wants.

0:14:230:14:26

Nails, hair, make-up,

0:14:260:14:28

clothes, food, going out.

0:14:280:14:31

A lot of money. Probably £200 - £300 a week.

0:14:310:14:33

And it's Gracie's poor parents who have to foot the bill.

0:14:350:14:38

Is that it?!

0:14:380:14:39

Grace is a budget free zone.

0:14:390:14:42

I can get anything I want at any time. I just have to ask.

0:14:420:14:45

She doesn't know the reality of life.

0:14:450:14:47

The reality is you go out to work, earn money, and you buy a house...

0:14:470:14:51

No! The reality is, you give me money so I don't have to work.

0:14:510:14:54

That is my reality. Your reality's different.

0:14:540:14:57

Maureen and I go without because of what we give her.

0:14:590:15:02

Can I have another one please?

0:15:020:15:03

She has no appreciation of the value of money,

0:15:030:15:06

because she hasn't had to physically do it herself.

0:15:060:15:09

I'm very proud of the fact

0:15:090:15:11

that I've pulled off being nearly 21

0:15:110:15:14

and I still get everything off my Mum and Dad.

0:15:140:15:16

Being away from home, this the first time Gracie and the group

0:15:160:15:20

have had to live on a tight budget.

0:15:200:15:22

And now that she's lost her dosh, she does the responsible thing,

0:15:220:15:26

and sulks.

0:15:260:15:28

I'd rather go home as I'm not going to have any money for four days.

0:15:290:15:32

What home, Gracie?

0:15:320:15:33

Home. My home.

0:15:330:15:34

In Essex?

0:15:340:15:36

Yeah.

0:15:360:15:37

Why do you want to go home?

0:15:370:15:39

Because I'm pissed off.

0:15:390:15:40

I can't have it now. I lost my money.

0:15:440:15:46

Sorry, I did say to him I'd lost my money.

0:15:460:15:50

Money's really important because I can't eat. What am I meant to do?

0:15:520:15:56

I can't eat, I can't drink. I can't do anything.

0:15:560:15:58

I need to go home because I'm not living with no money.

0:15:580:16:01

I'd be upset if no-one would share with me.

0:16:030:16:05

No, I agree.

0:16:050:16:07

I think she thinks it was only me. You need to tell her as well.

0:16:070:16:11

We can help her, but we can't get her back the full 30 quid, can we?

0:16:110:16:15

£30 to me at home is nothing. It's nothing at all. It's just nothing.

0:16:150:16:20

And now I'm going from having everything I want

0:16:200:16:23

to having absolutely nothing. I can't do it.

0:16:230:16:27

Normally, this selfish bunch only ever think of themselves,

0:16:290:16:33

but in a rare act of kindness, they decide to club together

0:16:330:16:36

so that Gracie can at least have something to eat.

0:16:360:16:39

We'll pay for you to have something to eat now.

0:16:390:16:41

If we all put in a pound.

0:16:410:16:43

I don't know how much it is - £4 or £5.

0:16:430:16:45

That'll be enough for you to have something to eat.

0:16:450:16:47

It's because you haven't eaten as well.

0:16:470:16:49

If you have something to eat you might feel better.

0:16:490:16:52

We've got to buy essentials anyway.

0:16:520:16:55

But not even a big sausage is enough to lift Gracie out of her mood.

0:16:570:17:01

Even though Gracie's stomach is now full, courtesy of the group,

0:17:090:17:13

her wallet is still empty,

0:17:130:17:14

and she's thinking about giving up and going home.

0:17:140:17:17

Something that's bringing the mood down in the house.

0:17:170:17:21

You'd think she'd be grateful.

0:17:210:17:23

Yeah, you'd think so.

0:17:230:17:25

The mood is pretty low though.

0:17:250:17:27

I'm reaching for the razor blades right now.

0:17:270:17:30

She says she wants to go home as she's not used to having no money,

0:17:300:17:34

and she just wants to go back home and leech off her parents.

0:17:340:17:37

The point of being here is that we're learning to cope without our parents.

0:17:370:17:41

If you want to go back just so you can have money from your parents

0:17:410:17:44

then it's sort of defeating the point of the object.

0:17:440:17:47

If Gracie does decide to stay,

0:17:470:17:49

she's going to have to buck her ideas up.

0:17:490:17:52

Tomorrow is the work placement.

0:17:520:17:54

and the parents will be judging their performance,

0:17:540:17:57

along with their behaviour in the house.

0:17:570:18:00

What to do, what to do, what to do...

0:18:000:18:02

With less money and no parents to sponge off,

0:18:040:18:08

Ruby Jo and Ryan have a brainwave.

0:18:080:18:09

Let's go and sit on the high street looking like tramps,

0:18:090:18:12

see how much money we can make.

0:18:120:18:14

Mascara and fresh dirt from the street

0:18:140:18:17

provide them with the perfect cunning disguise as beggars.

0:18:170:18:21

And they find the very thing that will help their plight.

0:18:230:18:26

They're going to sit on Kingsland in a wheelchair with a blanket

0:18:260:18:29

and hope they'll get some money.

0:18:290:18:31

I'm not being funny. I'd rather be trying to make money

0:18:310:18:34

-than sat on me arse in there all day.

-Yeah.

0:18:340:18:37

Ryan!

0:18:380:18:40

Sorry! Sorry!

0:18:400:18:42

I'm very sorry!

0:18:440:18:45

But life on the streets is tough

0:18:470:18:48

when you're a terrible wheelchair driver.

0:18:480:18:52

Also out and about are Jack and Tom

0:18:560:18:59

and they're having their doubts about Ryan and Ruby Jo's plan.

0:18:590:19:03

I'm not doing it, it's embarrassing.

0:19:030:19:05

-It's stupid.

-They might be getting money, but...

0:19:050:19:08

I'm not going to act like a knob just for money.

0:19:080:19:11

I'd actually rather have no money than do that.

0:19:110:19:14

Ryan, why do I want..?

0:19:140:19:16

I've got nowhere to put it and I'm trying to get you up the kerb.

0:19:160:19:19

Just because you were stupid enough to go and get yourself disabled.

0:19:190:19:23

Ryan, I'm not pretending to be disabled.

0:19:230:19:25

Yeah, but if anyone asks...

0:19:250:19:27

Just somewhere to sit. No! That's discriminating against the disabled.

0:19:270:19:32

It's just a bit embarrassing and insulting to homeless people.

0:19:320:19:37

And dirty people.

0:19:370:19:38

It's insulting to just about everyone, really, isn't it?

0:19:380:19:42

We've got to look sad.

0:19:450:19:46

I wonder how tramps sit all day and just, like, look bored.

0:19:470:19:52

I'm bored already.

0:19:530:19:56

We'll have to ask people.

0:19:560:19:57

I've forgotten what homeless people say.

0:19:570:20:01

Any spare change?

0:20:010:20:02

Can you spare any change?

0:20:020:20:04

Any spare change?

0:20:070:20:09

MUSIC: "Beggin'" by Madcon

0:20:090:20:12

Spare any change?

0:20:120:20:16

-Not one person's given us a penny.

-Any spare change?

0:20:180:20:23

-Thank you!

-Thank you.

-Thank you so much.

0:20:230:20:26

At least we're trying to earn a bit of money.

0:20:260:20:30

Having spent 30 minutes

0:20:300:20:32

on the street, all they've got to show for their hard work is 10p.

0:20:320:20:35

Oh, and a condom which they brought along so the bowl wouldn't look empty.

0:20:350:20:39

Very strong idea.

0:20:390:20:41

I think I understand what being homeless is like now.

0:20:410:20:44

It's cold, it's boring.

0:20:440:20:46

Shall we go home soon? I don't think being homeless is for me, to be honest.

0:20:460:20:51

We've got condoms.

0:20:510:20:53

You can breathe into it and blow it up. Breathe into it.

0:20:590:21:02

Breathe into it!

0:21:020:21:03

Breathe into it and blow it up.

0:21:030:21:05

SQUEEEEAK!

0:21:050:21:07

RYAN LAUGHS

0:21:070:21:08

Ow, my eyes!

0:21:100:21:12

Oh, it's more fun being homeless than what I thought.

0:21:120:21:17

Ruby Jo and Ryan have learnt that being homeless isn't all it's cracked up to be.

0:21:170:21:21

Maybe tomorrow they'll have more fun when they're set to work,

0:21:210:21:24

along with the rest of the group, for the fourth time.

0:21:240:21:26

-So far, they've run a busy youth hostel...

-Oh, my God!

0:21:290:21:33

Worked through the early hours of the morning on a fish market...

0:21:330:21:37

And tried to run a pop-up restaurant from their homes.

0:21:370:21:41

Looks delicious.

0:21:410:21:42

This week, Ruby Jo's mum will be setting the challenge.

0:21:420:21:45

She's worked in the healthcare industry for three years,

0:21:450:21:48

and she's keen for the kids to take responsibility for something other than themselves.

0:21:480:21:53

I've worked hard all my life since school.

0:21:530:21:55

It taught me that without getting out of bed and going to work,

0:21:550:21:58

you don't have any money.

0:21:580:22:00

And if you want to go out spending money, you've got to work.

0:22:000:22:04

MOBILE RINGS

0:22:080:22:11

Hello?

0:22:110:22:13

Hi, Mum!

0:22:140:22:15

Yeah, are you?

0:22:170:22:18

Yeah! That's the best one ever.

0:22:530:22:56

Ruby Jo's mum has decided to set them to work at a dog shelter.

0:22:560:23:00

It's time the kids learnt what it's like living with something that only ever eats, sleeps and BLEEP.

0:23:020:23:07

Which of our young dumbers will finally show signs of improvement,

0:23:080:23:12

and which will the parents have to put down?

0:23:120:23:14

Love you.

0:23:160:23:17

I prefer cats to dogs.

0:23:190:23:20

-I love dogs!

-I love dogs!

0:23:200:23:22

But only small dogs - like a Chihuahua! I'd love a Chihuahua!

0:23:220:23:27

Gracie's upset about losing most of her allowance this morning,

0:23:270:23:30

-but she's at least trying to get into the spirit of things.

-I love dogs.

0:23:300:23:36

Dogs are awesome.

0:23:360:23:38

-But Jack and Tom are taking delight in kicking Gracie when she's down.

-Can't wait.

0:23:380:23:43

Shut up! Stop being a prick. You're being a fucking knob, Tom.

0:23:450:23:48

You're a pair of dickheads being stupid, taking the piss out of everyone.

0:23:500:23:54

-Wouldn't be funny if I took the piss out of you, would it?

-I wouldn't mind.

0:23:540:23:58

-Whatever. Crack on, then.

-Is this cos you lost your money?

0:23:580:24:01

No, it's because you keep taking the piss.

0:24:010:24:04

You can see I'm upset or whatever,

0:24:040:24:06

and you have to carry on taking the piss.

0:24:060:24:09

It's just stupid, immature.

0:24:090:24:12

If I were a dog, I'd be a long-haired Chihuahua.

0:24:140:24:18

And I'd be called either Bambi or Trixie,

0:24:180:24:20

and I'd have a pink collar and wear tutus.

0:24:200:24:24

-If you were a dog, what dog would you be?

-I'd just choose not to be a dog.

0:24:240:24:28

With the others not taking her seriously,

0:24:320:24:34

Gracie needs some time alone.

0:24:340:24:36

I want to go home. I want to go home.

0:24:380:24:42

I think she's being a bit ungrateful.

0:24:420:24:45

-We did buy her breakfast and stuff.

-We paid for breakfast.

0:24:450:24:48

I just want my mum and my dad.

0:24:480:24:53

It's just making an atmosphere.

0:24:530:24:56

There's only five of us now, and I want us to get on.

0:24:560:24:59

-There's only five of us. Might as well have a laugh, really.

-Yeah.

0:24:590:25:03

-I'm going home.

-You're not going home.

-I am going home.

0:25:030:25:06

I'm sick of them two knobheads.

0:25:060:25:10

Any time anyone's upset or whatever, they've got to take the fucking piss.

0:25:100:25:14

I feel so angry.

0:25:140:25:15

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't fucking sit here and cry.

0:25:150:25:19

Oh, it's pissing me off so much that I can't do anything

0:25:190:25:22

-and it really gets on my nerves.

-They piss me off as well.

0:25:220:25:26

I could be at home with my mum cooking dinner and having all the money I want,

0:25:260:25:30

and I've got to listen to them idiots.

0:25:300:25:32

Gracie's emotional ups and downs seem to have taken their toll,

0:25:320:25:35

but she'll have to control them

0:25:350:25:38

if she's going to succeed in this week's work placement.

0:25:380:25:41

Wanting to lift everyone's spirits and hopefully convince Gracie to stay,

0:25:440:25:48

Ruby Jo suggests heading out to paint the town red...

0:25:480:25:52

But not before they paint their bodies orange.

0:25:520:25:56

That's really dark.

0:25:560:25:58

Wow.

0:25:580:26:00

Look at the difference!

0:26:000:26:01

That's, like, beyond fake colour.

0:26:010:26:04

Exactly! Exactly.

0:26:040:26:06

I hope I go that colour.

0:26:060:26:09

Yeah, it looks like you're black on the bottom and white on the top.

0:26:090:26:13

I feel good!

0:26:220:26:24

There's fake tan, and then there's looking like that.

0:26:280:26:31

If they're planning on pulling, how are they going to get lucky dressed like that?

0:26:310:26:35

Despite their 6am alarm call and lack of cash,

0:26:380:26:41

the group want to party. Ryan makes sure they're prepared in case they get lucky.

0:26:410:26:45

One for Gracie, one for Ruby. One for Jack, and one for Tom. Oi, Jack.

0:26:450:26:52

-Ryan shows Jack his box of tricks.

-OK. Just proper go for it, right?

0:26:540:26:58

-Yeah.

-OK, that's cool.

0:26:580:27:01

-How would you dance if I was in a gay bar?

-Don't dance like that.

-No?

0:27:010:27:04

No, dance up against them like that.

0:27:040:27:07

Really, like that? OK. That's cool.

0:27:070:27:11

Watch out east London, this bunch of orange wotsits are on the prowl,

0:27:130:27:16

and who could resist such exotic tans?

0:27:160:27:20

Ruby, you look hot.

0:27:200:27:21

Despite failing to get any action,

0:27:370:27:40

the group are in a better mood after dancing the night away.

0:27:400:27:43

I haven't been clubbing in about two weeks, so it was amazing hearing music again.

0:27:430:27:49

But they might not feel so good when they have to get up for work.

0:27:530:27:57

-Two and a half hours' sleep probably isn't enough.

-Not enough.

0:27:570:28:01

-The whole thing's just going to be shit.

-That's the spirit, Tom.

0:28:010:28:05

ALARM BEEPS

0:28:110:28:13

-God, I feel like shit.

-Gracie is the first one up at 5am.

0:28:130:28:18

Wakey, wakey.

0:28:180:28:20

The car will be here in half an hour.

0:28:210:28:24

It's the start of a very long day,

0:28:240:28:26

and the parents will be watching everything they do,

0:28:260:28:30

deciding who has made the least effort.

0:28:300:28:32

Meow.

0:28:340:28:35

After only two and a half hours' sleep,

0:28:350:28:38

our groggy group embark on a journey to a dog shelter in Oxfordshire.

0:28:380:28:42

Lewknor Blue Cross dog shelter is home to 270 abandoned dogs a year.

0:28:480:28:53

Without the care and support of this charity, many of them will be put down.

0:28:530:28:57

Today, each of our young dumbers will be given a pooch to look after.

0:28:570:29:01

At least they'll have lots in common, like not being house-trained and smelling badly.

0:29:010:29:06

Luckily for our four-legged friends, some of the group are dog fans...

0:29:060:29:09

Hair of the dog, that is.

0:29:090:29:12

I love dogs. They're not my favourites. My favourites are cats, koalas and penguins.

0:29:120:29:16

Yeah, I love dogs. I like dogs better than humans.

0:29:160:29:19

But others are less enthusiastic about the day ahead.

0:29:190:29:23

I've had about an hour and a half of sleep today.

0:29:230:29:26

I'm hanging out of my arse, I'm so tired.

0:29:260:29:29

Worst nightmare with dogs? Cleaning up their shit.

0:29:290:29:31

First things first,

0:29:310:29:33

and our group are briefed by animal welfare assistants Emily and Jess,

0:29:330:29:37

who are the same age as our clueless bunch,

0:29:370:29:40

but between them have worked at the shelter for four years.

0:29:400:29:43

-Hello!

-Hi.

-Today, you'll be exercising, cleaning kennels

0:29:430:29:49

and showing them off to potential adopters, trying to find these animals their new home.

0:29:490:29:54

-Get yourselves into two groups.

-Girls, I'm Ryan.

0:29:540:29:59

-Ready to meet your dogs?

-Yeah!

-Good.

0:29:590:30:01

Jo, this is your dog, Ferdy.

0:30:010:30:04

At first when I seen him, I was a bit like "Oh, he's a bit small". But he was actually really cute.

0:30:040:30:10

-Gracie, this is Freddie.

-Hi, Freddie.

0:30:100:30:13

-First impression of my dog was that he hated me.

-Your face!

0:30:130:30:17

It likes Ryan more than it likes me.

0:30:170:30:20

Ryan, this is Martha.

0:30:200:30:23

I am so happy with mine. She's the most...oh, she's gorgeous.

0:30:230:30:27

-This is Susy.

-I just don't like dogs. They jump up, they slobber, they're generally horrible.

0:30:270:30:33

-They shit everywhere and you've got to clean it up.

-Jack, this is Lupin.

0:30:330:30:37

-Who?

-Lupin. L-U-P-I-N.

0:30:370:30:40

I've been given a cute little cheeky one.

0:30:400:30:43

I suppose I'm cute, cheeky and little, so we're similar, I guess.

0:30:430:30:48

Now they've met the dogs they'll be looking after,

0:30:480:30:51

our group will be expected to carry out work in two stages.

0:30:510:30:55

First, they'll have to clean, care for and exercise their dogs.

0:30:550:31:00

Then they'll present them to a group of people considering adopting a new pet.

0:31:000:31:04

For some of the kids, it's a daunting start to the day.

0:31:040:31:08

I'm scared of dogs. I do not like dogs. I really, really don't like dogs.

0:31:080:31:12

And whilst Ruby Jo has been worried about the impression she's giving the parents...

0:31:120:31:16

I need to do well. I don't want to be in the bottom three again.

0:31:160:31:19

..Gracie has other incentives on her mind.

0:31:190:31:22

The deal with my parents is if I made enough effort to stay

0:31:220:31:26

for over 14 days and didn't walk and didn't get eliminated,

0:31:260:31:30

then when I got home, win or lose, I got a Chihuahua. So I made it.

0:31:300:31:35

14th day today. Hopefully by the time I get home, they'll have a Chihuahua waiting for me.

0:31:350:31:41

The group have been split into two.

0:31:420:31:45

Ruby Jo, Ryan and Gracie will muck out the kennels,

0:31:450:31:47

while Tom and Jack start their shift walking their dogs, Susy and Lupin.

0:31:470:31:52

-It smells really bad.

-Once again, Ruby and I have got the rubbish job of cleaning shit.

0:31:560:32:01

So yeah, really happy(!)

0:32:010:32:03

-What are the other two doing?

-Walking the dogs.

-Oh!

0:32:030:32:06

Yeah, while we're cleaning their shit.

0:32:060:32:09

# Walking the dog Just walking the dog... #

0:32:090:32:14

What could possibly go wrong?

0:32:140:32:17

Sleep with her. Good boy.

0:32:170:32:18

She's a lesbian!

0:32:180:32:20

I would just take them away from each other, so it doesn't get too much.

0:32:200:32:26

As usual, Tom and Jack blissfully ignore everything they're told.

0:32:260:32:29

Lupin's been jumping on Susy's head a lot.

0:32:290:32:32

I think the boys sometimes think it's quite funny that he's jumping on her.

0:32:320:32:36

But they need to take a step back and think "How would I like it if someone was jumping on my head?"

0:32:360:32:41

Jack, keep walking, because Susy's getting a bit worried. So just walk.

0:32:410:32:47

-She's more relaxed now.

-Yeah, she is.

0:32:510:32:54

Back at the kennels, Ruby Jo, Gracie and Ryan are shown

0:32:540:32:57

which areas they'll be cleaning.

0:32:570:33:00

Gracie, you clean this one.

0:33:000:33:02

These are gloves.

0:33:020:33:04

Ryan, you're cleaning this one out down here. This is Martha's kennel.

0:33:040:33:08

Oh, my God, there's no poo.

0:33:080:33:10

-Ruby Jo, you'll be cleaning out this kennel here.

-OK.

0:33:100:33:13

After several hissy fits at home over the past few days,

0:33:130:33:16

this is a chance for Gracie to turn things around and show the parents what she's made of.

0:33:160:33:21

This dog's so stressed that it made this mess overnight.

0:33:210:33:24

So we're going to tidy it up, so it's fresh for him in the morning.

0:33:240:33:27

I get diarrhoea, and everyone else gets a clean cage.

0:33:270:33:31

I haven't started yet, and it's tidy already.

0:33:310:33:33

All I've got to do is put the tyre back over here, and make the bed.

0:33:330:33:38

I absolutely love dogs. But I don't like cleaning their poo.

0:33:380:33:43

My daddy normally does that.

0:33:430:33:45

You don't have to get it on your hands.

0:33:450:33:48

She has mentioned that she's going to get a Chihuahua.

0:33:530:33:56

But she's not quite happy about doing the dirty work,

0:33:560:33:59

picking up their poo, doing the cleaning.

0:33:590:34:01

You need to do both sides of it to get the good out of it.

0:34:010:34:05

Just scoop it together.

0:34:050:34:07

SHE WAILS

0:34:070:34:08

-Keep going.

-It's time for Gracie to wake up and smell the poo

0:34:100:34:14

-if she's going to be a responsible Chihuahua owner.

-Where did I put it?

0:34:140:34:18

If you just want to walk round here...

0:34:260:34:29

Back from their walk, the boys' next task is to give their dogs a basic medical check.

0:34:290:34:34

-OK, so maybe look in her ears.

-And the only thing Lupin wants to do

0:34:340:34:39

is check out Susy, thanks to Jack letting go of the lead.

0:34:390:34:42

For goodness' sake! Get that dog out.

0:34:420:34:45

-Sorry, can you try and keep...

-I didn't mean to.

0:34:470:34:50

It's quite important.

0:34:500:34:52

-If the gates were open, he could run into the main road.

-I didn't mean to let him go.

0:34:520:34:56

You got me in trouble. I can't even remember his name half the time.

0:34:560:34:59

Sometimes I think it's in one ear and out the other,

0:34:590:35:02

especially when you can't remember Lupin's name, bless him.

0:35:020:35:06

So far, Tom and Jack have been unprofessional.

0:35:060:35:08

And once the parents see that they weren't best in show,

0:35:080:35:11

it could be a blow to their chances of staying in the competition.

0:35:110:35:15

-Jess, are we doing a good job?

-I think you should take it

0:35:150:35:18

a bit more seriously, because this is what we do every day.

0:35:180:35:21

The main aim of what we do is to rehome as many dogs as possible.

0:35:210:35:25

These dogs have not had the best start to life...

0:35:250:35:27

BOYS SNIGGER

0:35:270:35:30

-Sorry.

-Sorry.

-No, we're sorry. We're not being rude.

0:35:300:35:33

Just got the giggles now.

0:35:330:35:36

Back at the kennels, Ruby Jo is showing

0:35:370:35:39

that she's taking the basic caring needs of her dog very seriously.

0:35:390:35:44

-I've decided my dog's gay.

-Oh.

0:35:440:35:48

Which gets Ryan thinking.

0:35:480:35:50

I wonder if dogs can be gay or lesbian, or if they sleep with anything?

0:35:500:35:54

Ruby said that her old dog was gay, cos it used to bum other boy dogs.

0:35:540:35:59

-No, I didn't.

-You said it was gay.

-It liked dressing up.

0:35:590:36:04

In girls' clothes. And yeah, it did...bum another dog.

0:36:050:36:10

That's not always a sexual sign. It could be a sign of frustration.

0:36:100:36:15

-So dogs aren't lesbian, gay or straight?

-They're not, no.

0:36:150:36:19

Get your bloody dog off mine.

0:36:190:36:23

Across the yard, self-confessed ladies man Jack has discovered he shares a similar nature

0:36:230:36:27

to his dog and has learnt a valuable lesson in life.

0:36:270:36:31

I've got a sex pest dog. I don't know why they gave me that dog.

0:36:310:36:35

He's just trying to sleep with anything that moves. It's not the right way, is it?

0:36:350:36:39

No, you don't, no.

0:36:410:36:42

Ruby Jo, Ryan and Gracie are coming to the end of the first part of their work.

0:36:470:36:51

-Is that all right?

-Yeah, that's really good.

0:36:510:36:54

-I feel a bit better about doing it now.

-Exactly.

0:36:540:36:56

This dog's got, like, four layers of bedding.

0:36:560:37:00

They were really smelly at first,

0:37:000:37:02

but we've cleaned 'em dead good, so they don't smell any more.

0:37:020:37:06

It's the boys' turn to transform their dirty, smelly kennels

0:37:060:37:09

into something their parents would be proud of.

0:37:090:37:12

So Jack, this is Lupin's kennel.

0:37:120:37:14

This will be what you're cleaning up today. There's your scoops.

0:37:140:37:18

Do I not inspect it first?

0:37:180:37:20

-You can see from here. What do you think it looks like?

-Poo.

0:37:200:37:24

Do you think it is normal poo,

0:37:240:37:26

or is it maybe too hard, too soft?

0:37:260:37:29

It looks soft.

0:37:290:37:30

It's quite normal.

0:37:300:37:33

They might also be proud of Tom's ingenious idea.

0:37:330:37:37

-What would be good would be a doggy poo Hoover.

-You'd just go bzzz...

0:37:370:37:41

HE IMITATES VACUUM SUCKING NOISE

0:37:410:37:46

Like that.

0:37:460:37:48

The Poo-a-matic, I'm thinking of calling it. That would do the job.

0:37:480:37:53

More messing around from the boys,

0:37:530:37:54

who if they want to impress the parents, need to pull their socks up.

0:37:540:37:58

Actually, Jack, you might want to pull your pants up.

0:37:580:38:01

-So we're going to go and walk the dogs now.

-Yay!

0:38:010:38:04

But before that, there's a small matter that needs attending to.

0:38:040:38:07

Ryan?

0:38:070:38:09

Martha did this earlier, so if you could pick it up with the poo bag.

0:38:090:38:14

Thank you very much.

0:38:140:38:15

-Is it squidgy, Ryan?

-Yeah, it's squidgy.

0:38:190:38:21

There you go. Turn the bag up.

0:38:210:38:24

Though they've spent most of the day mucking around, Jack and Tom are keen to get some feedback from Jess.

0:38:280:38:34

Would you hire us?

0:38:340:38:36

Um...yeah, I think you could be a little bit more enthusiastic about it.

0:38:360:38:40

You need to put more effort in.

0:38:400:38:42

That's it. There we go.

0:38:420:38:45

-So there's lazy Jack...and then there's good Jack.

-Good Jack.

0:38:450:38:50

You can see already how much of a difference that's made.

0:38:500:38:53

With the kennels clean and tidied, it's time for Martha's daily walk

0:38:550:38:58

but it's not immediately clear who's walking whom.

0:38:580:39:01

RJ's running!

0:39:010:39:03

Good boy.

0:39:070:39:08

-While Ruby Jo makes an effort to get to know her dog better...

-So what breed's my dog?

0:39:080:39:14

-What breed do you think? Do you know about...

-Got to be half Jack Russell.

0:39:140:39:17

Yeah, it looks a bit like a Jack Russell. I've had one.

0:39:170:39:20

Jack isn't even on first-name terms with his dog yet.

0:39:200:39:23

What's he called again?

0:39:230:39:24

Loopy. Is it Loopy? Lupin. Lupin?

0:39:240:39:28

-It says Clupin up there.

-Clupin?

0:39:280:39:30

No, that's a bracket!

0:39:300:39:31

Ahh! LAUGHTER

0:39:310:39:34

Since losing her money, Gracie's mood swings have been erratic.

0:39:380:39:42

I don't want to go any further.

0:39:420:39:43

Just think, you're giving Freddie this time out during the day.

0:39:430:39:46

Yeah, I know, but I'm giving myself a hernia!

0:39:460:39:49

She's moaned throughout the day about the most basic of tasks

0:39:490:39:52

and now she's only got one thing on her mind.

0:39:520:39:56

-What's up Grace?

-I want to fucking go home.

0:39:560:39:59

Home-home?

0:39:590:40:01

And there's no persuading Gracie.

0:40:010:40:03

I don't know why Gracie's feeling the way she is.

0:40:030:40:06

She was that upset yesterday as well.

0:40:060:40:08

-It all started when she lost her money.

-Yeah.

0:40:080:40:11

And it's just, kinda, carried on.

0:40:110:40:14

I want to go home. I don't want to be here, I want to go home.

0:40:160:40:20

Most of the time she is fun and bubbly, happy and all that.

0:40:200:40:24

But this is probably what she's like when she doesn't get her own way.

0:40:240:40:27

Emily, who is the same age as Gracie,

0:40:270:40:30

has a shot at trying to talk her around.

0:40:300:40:32

Did you want to try with Freddie, finish the day off?

0:40:320:40:35

Get your mind focused on something? Then potentially get him a home later on today.

0:40:350:40:39

It looks like that did the trick.

0:40:410:40:43

It certainly was quite unprofessional.

0:40:430:40:46

They're here to learn, they should be taking

0:40:460:40:48

all the information under their belt,

0:40:480:40:50

working the best they can, they're here to learn.

0:40:500:40:52

If they're not, they're not learning and taking in everything they could be.

0:40:520:40:57

Gracie's going to have to get over it as it's nearly time

0:40:570:41:00

to show their dogs to potential adopters.

0:41:000:41:02

Can Jack and Tom pull it out the bag after messing around all day?

0:41:050:41:09

No, no. I'm trying to make him sit, but it's really hard work.

0:41:090:41:14

What am I meant to do when she's doing this?

0:41:140:41:16

Look, she won't even sit.

0:41:160:41:18

Surely that's the most basic thing a dog's meant to do, isn't it?

0:41:180:41:21

Will Ryan and Ruby Jo do their dogs proud?

0:41:210:41:24

LAUGHS

0:41:240:41:25

-Yeah!

-Good boy! He even jumps and sits.

0:41:250:41:30

And after Gracie's third tantrum in 24 hours,

0:41:300:41:32

can she put a smile on her face and impress

0:41:320:41:34

the adopters and the parents watching?

0:41:340:41:37

Freddie, behave.

0:41:370:41:39

OK, well done, guys. You've done well there.

0:41:390:41:41

So the next task we'll do is we're going to show all the dogs

0:41:410:41:44

you've learned everything about today to potential adopters.

0:41:440:41:48

Let's go then, guys.

0:41:480:41:50

It's the final part of the kids' work placement.

0:41:500:41:53

Now they'll have to give a short presentation to potential adopters

0:41:530:41:56

on what they've learned about their dogs.

0:41:560:41:58

The shelter prides itself on being professional and informative

0:41:580:42:02

and if the group do a good enough job, one of their dogs just might find a new home.

0:42:020:42:07

Tom's first up with Susie.

0:42:070:42:09

She doesn't really like people, so it's a hard sell.

0:42:090:42:12

He's struggled to take anything seriously today,

0:42:160:42:19

so can he up his game for a family audience?

0:42:190:42:23

This is Susie, she really likes other dogs

0:42:230:42:26

but make sure they're not, like, puppies or anything.

0:42:260:42:29

Been with another puppy today and I think it was starting

0:42:290:42:32

to get on her tits a bit

0:42:320:42:33

cos it was jumping up on her every five minutes trying to hump her.

0:42:330:42:38

Does it get on with other animals or not?

0:42:380:42:40

If I'm really honest, I'd probably say no.

0:42:400:42:42

I think she's unsure of a lot of things.

0:42:420:42:45

Well, if there's no more questions,

0:42:450:42:48

then thanks for not throwing stuff at me.

0:42:480:42:50

He mentioned that other dogs may get on Susie's tits,

0:42:520:42:56

not quite the way we would word it when potential adopters come up.

0:42:560:42:59

I hope it didn't come across I hadn't bonded with it.

0:42:590:43:02

I struggled, I'm not really a dog person.

0:43:020:43:04

Ruby Jo takes to the stage with her dog, Ferdie.

0:43:040:43:06

He's three years old, and he's a Jack Russell.

0:43:060:43:09

I spent the day with him today and he's been really good.

0:43:090:43:12

He's learned new tricks really quickly.

0:43:120:43:15

Um, I'll show you one of them what he's learned today.

0:43:150:43:18

Ferdie, what's this? Good boy.

0:43:180:43:22

He can sit as well. Ferdie? Good boy.

0:43:220:43:25

So he's a really quick learner and he's a clever dog.

0:43:250:43:29

She did a very good job. She showed both the tricks

0:43:290:43:32

she taught him today. She knew all his background information

0:43:320:43:35

and shared that with everyone so she listened to everything throughout the day.

0:43:350:43:39

I hope I get this little fella a home now, cos I did try.

0:43:390:43:43

-Good boy.

-It's the turn of Jack and Lupin, or is it Clupin?

0:43:430:43:47

It is Lupin, isn't it?

0:43:470:43:48

And after spending a whole day with his dog,

0:43:480:43:51

he's as ready as he'll ever be.

0:43:510:43:53

I mean, what is there to learn about a dog?

0:43:530:43:55

I know his breed, I know roughly his age, I know what he's like.

0:43:550:43:58

But it's not going to be very long, is it?

0:43:580:44:01

Lupin's only 14 weeks old, he's quite young.

0:44:010:44:04

-HE SNIFFS

-Um, I've spent all day with him and I've learned

0:44:040:44:08

-he's really fun and stuff.

-HE SNIFFS

0:44:080:44:10

Out of all the dogs, he's probably the most active

0:44:100:44:13

so he's probably more for fun people and stuff

0:44:130:44:15

-cos all day he's done fun stuff.

-HE SNIFFS

0:44:150:44:18

-If you're after a really fun dog, this is the dog.

-HE SNIFFS

0:44:180:44:22

He was sniffing quite a lot which, you know, is a bit off-putting for the people watching.

0:44:220:44:27

He looks like a cross-breed. Have you any idea what breeds he is?

0:44:270:44:31

Um, I'm not entirely sure, I just know he's a Japanese breed

0:44:310:44:34

but I can definitely ask someone else who works here as well to clarify it for you.

0:44:340:44:40

He was a little bit less informative than the other guys. He could've

0:44:400:44:43

gone into a little bit more detail about what kind of home he needs

0:44:430:44:48

in terms of experienced owners because he'll be a big dog.

0:44:480:44:51

Next it's Ryan and he's feeling apprehensive

0:44:510:44:53

about his presentation on Martha.

0:44:530:44:56

I get really shy when I have to talk to big groups of people.

0:44:560:44:59

I'm just, like, this is my dog.

0:44:590:45:01

She's a three-year-old Collie. As you can see, she's absolutely gorgeous.

0:45:010:45:05

She's so lovable. Any family would be lucky to have her.

0:45:050:45:08

But, um...yeah.

0:45:080:45:10

-Is she obedient?

-O-what, sorry?

-Obedient, Ryan.

0:45:100:45:14

-Obegan?

-Does she obey you?

0:45:140:45:17

-Does what you say.

-Er, yeah.

-You know, like your parents.

0:45:170:45:21

Sorry, I don't know what that means.

0:45:210:45:24

-Does she do what she tells you to?

-Oh, sorry!

0:45:240:45:27

She does. Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying.

0:45:270:45:30

We did go through obedience and a lot of that so really

0:45:300:45:33

he should've known the answer to that question.

0:45:330:45:36

Last but not least it's Gracie and her dog, Freddie.

0:45:360:45:39

Can she compose herself for the sake of getting him a home?

0:45:390:45:43

IMITATES KISSING SOUND Come on, Freddie.

0:45:450:45:49

Hello, everybody. This is Freddie. Freddie, say hello.

0:45:490:45:55

To be honest, I wasn't very keen on dogs before today

0:45:550:45:58

and I've come here and met this little fella and he has

0:45:580:46:02

absolutely blown my mind. He's really fun and energetic.

0:46:020:46:08

He's very playful and he's just looking for a loving home

0:46:080:46:11

to look after him and basically give him the love

0:46:110:46:14

that he'll give that family back in return.

0:46:140:46:16

Is he vicious to humans or any other animals?

0:46:160:46:18

He's not vicious at all. He's really good with kids. A proper family dog.

0:46:180:46:23

Thank you! Come on, Freddie.

0:46:230:46:26

I think the dog actually cheered me up, I really do.

0:46:290:46:32

He's such a playful dog. I was playing about with it,

0:46:320:46:34

trying to teach it how to sit and whatever. It was just... It was fun.

0:46:340:46:38

-You're such a good boy!

-With the presentations over,

0:46:380:46:41

the audience consider how well the group did.

0:46:410:46:43

I liked the actual Collie. I don't think he explained it very well.

0:46:430:46:47

He seemed quicker to get through it.

0:46:470:46:49

On some of them, it seemed like the dog was more in control.

0:46:490:46:52

Some of them found it, obviously, more difficult

0:46:520:46:56

to present in front of everybody than some of the others.

0:46:560:46:59

Jess and Emily finish up the day, feeding back to the group.

0:46:590:47:03

OK, guys. So throughout the day, some of you have done really well,

0:47:050:47:09

some more than others. Gracie, I noticed your attitude this morning

0:47:090:47:13

was a bit disappointing. You let everyone know unfortunately

0:47:130:47:16

you're quite unhappy. We need to be quite professional here

0:47:160:47:19

and make sure we leave baggage at home and when we come to work,

0:47:190:47:23

work's time and just get on.

0:47:230:47:24

Tom and Jack, I think in the afternoon your enthusiasm did,

0:47:240:47:29

kind of, waver and I think maybe you and Jack mucking around

0:47:290:47:34

was a bit disrespectful at times and I think if you start to act

0:47:340:47:39

a bit more seriously, maybe we'll take you a bit more seriously because it can be quite rude.

0:47:390:47:43

Did any of the dogs get picked?

0:47:430:47:46

There's a few people interested in Lupin and Susie.

0:47:460:47:49

So even though Tom and Jack messed around all day,

0:47:490:47:52

they didn't make a total dog's dinner of their presentations. They must be over the moon.

0:47:520:47:56

-I'm still not a dog person.

-It won't make a difference if we say goodbye to them.

-No.

0:47:560:48:00

DOG WHIMPERS

0:48:000:48:02

I can't be bothered. I just want to go home, make tea.

0:48:020:48:05

It's just a dog.

0:48:050:48:06

Ah, that's a life-long bond right there.

0:48:060:48:08

But it's up to the parents to assess how well the kids did overall.

0:48:080:48:12

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. #

0:48:120:48:16

Each week, the parents decide which one of their little darlings should be kicked out of the competition.

0:48:240:48:30

To help make their decision they'll watch footage of their kids living and working together.

0:48:300:48:35

Yay!

0:48:360:48:37

First up, a look at how things are going in the house.

0:48:370:48:40

Look at that, it's disgusting.

0:48:400:48:42

Ruby Jo's mum is pleased to see that her daughter is starting to

0:48:420:48:45

take some responsibility for cleaning...

0:48:450:48:48

She wouldn't do that at home.

0:48:480:48:50

..But is disappointed to see Jack and Tom not pulling their weight.

0:48:500:48:53

So youse two from now on are going to sit there and watch everyone else clean up?

0:48:530:48:57

I just said, I'll clear up after myself if I make a mess.

0:48:570:49:00

Yeah, but we all use the bathroom and you don't bother to clean it.

0:49:000:49:04

I cleaned up someone who'd pissed all over the toilet seat. It's fucking disgusting.

0:49:040:49:08

You know what? I'm not living like a tramp in a manky toilet.

0:49:080:49:12

I think Ruby's done fantastic. I think that's what the boys needed, a bit of a kick up the backside.

0:49:120:49:17

Ruby, where's my money?

0:49:170:49:20

The parents have different opinions about Gracie losing her money.

0:49:200:49:23

I'm really fucking pissed off.

0:49:230:49:25

£30 to me at home is nothing, it's nothing at all.

0:49:250:49:28

It's just...nothing. And now going from having everything I want

0:49:280:49:34

to having absolutely nothing, I can't do it.

0:49:340:49:37

Grace has a history of losing money. She's generally very careless with things.

0:49:370:49:43

She does tend to throw tantrums.

0:49:430:49:46

That's probably why she gets money off us indoors

0:49:460:49:49

because I don't personally want to see the tantrums.

0:49:490:49:53

There was part of me that thought

0:49:530:49:55

Grace is really starting to appreciate the value of money.

0:49:550:49:59

Normally, I should think, for most of them, 20 quid's nothing

0:49:590:50:02

but, suddenly, that's a big deal.

0:50:020:50:05

We think you can have something to eat now, then?

0:50:070:50:10

And we've got it anyway so...

0:50:100:50:13

They're pleasantly surprised to see the group pull together and offer her help.

0:50:130:50:18

I was really relieved when they all offered to club together,

0:50:180:50:22

because I was really worried there, at one moment, they were all

0:50:220:50:25

going to sit there and eat their breakfast,

0:50:250:50:27

and I was thinking, when I see Tom, I could really slap him in the chops for that.

0:50:270:50:31

TOM LAUGHS

0:50:310:50:33

Shut up, stop being a prick! You're being a fucking knob, Tom.

0:50:330:50:39

You're a pair of dickheads.

0:50:390:50:41

Being stupid, taking the piss out of everyone.

0:50:410:50:43

Is this cos you lost your money?

0:50:430:50:45

It's because you keep taking the piss.

0:50:450:50:47

Tom's attitude is something that I've seen before.

0:50:470:50:51

I genuinely don't think there's any malice with him,

0:50:510:50:54

I just think that he still needs to grow up, at the end of the day.

0:50:540:50:58

Sick listening to their shit. Any time anyone's upset they take the fucking piss.

0:50:580:51:02

I could be at home with Mum having dinner, and all the money I want,

0:51:020:51:06

and I've got to sit here and listen to them fucking idiots.

0:51:060:51:08

She was obviously quite upset about it,

0:51:080:51:12

and I don't think that she's very happy with the boys,

0:51:120:51:14

because they were cracking jokes and winding her up.

0:51:140:51:18

Ryan and Ruby both went out to her as well.

0:51:180:51:22

Didn't have a lot to say, but sometimes Ryan is like that.

0:51:220:51:25

If he sees somebody upset, he'll put his arm round her.

0:51:250:51:28

Next, the parents watch how well the group did

0:51:280:51:30

on this week's work placement.

0:51:300:51:32

Sleep with her, oh good.

0:51:320:51:34

Oh, she's a lesbian!

0:51:340:51:36

And they're not surprised to see Tom and Jack messing around.

0:51:360:51:40

..Sake!

0:51:400:51:41

Sorry, can you just try and keep?

0:51:430:51:44

I just, I actually didn't mean to.

0:51:440:51:46

Got the giggles now.

0:51:460:51:48

You and Jack, mucking around a little bit,

0:51:480:51:51

was a bit disrespectful at times.

0:51:510:51:54

It seems like, when Jack and Tom are together, it's bringing the worst out of them.

0:51:540:51:58

It just seems like they need to turn things into a slight comedy act.

0:51:580:52:03

I'd like Jack to take more responsibility,

0:52:030:52:05

instead of acting the goat all the time.

0:52:050:52:07

What's up grace?

0:52:070:52:09

Want to go home.

0:52:090:52:11

Home-home.

0:52:110:52:12

I don't know why Grace is feeling the way she is, to be honest.

0:52:140:52:17

-It all started when she lost her money.

-Yeah.

0:52:170:52:20

It's just kind of...carried on.

0:52:200:52:23

It was quite a shame that she didn't try and put that behind her.

0:52:230:52:26

I don't think she's very happy.

0:52:260:52:28

She's not getting a puppy or anything, because...a Chihuahua.

0:52:280:52:33

Her friend got one, and it's a lovely little thing.

0:52:330:52:36

After watching the footage, the parents identify three kids

0:52:360:52:39

who they think have made the least effort.

0:52:390:52:42

But only one of them will be sent home.

0:52:420:52:45

I think this has been the hardest week for me, to date.

0:52:450:52:48

I've been in quite a turmoil with the way I'm going to vote.

0:52:480:52:52

It's really awkward for me to vote this week.

0:52:520:52:55

He let his self down.

0:52:550:52:56

He didn't take it seriously.

0:52:560:52:58

He joked about, you know, it was a joke.

0:52:580:53:00

Don't vote Grace off because she's unhappy.

0:53:000:53:03

Vote her off for her behaviour, but because she's unhappy,

0:53:030:53:06

please don't vote how off for that.

0:53:060:53:08

She said she wanted to leave.

0:53:080:53:09

That might've been because she was upset.

0:53:090:53:11

The group wait for this week's decision back at the house.

0:53:160:53:19

-I don't think it's really obvious who's going this week.

-No, it's not.

0:53:190:53:23

It is.

0:53:230:53:25

-I guarantee I'm in the bottom three.

-I guarantee I'm in the bottom three.

0:53:250:53:30

They have no idea which parents will walk through the door to announce the verdict.

0:53:300:53:34

GRACE SHRIEKS EXCITEDLY

0:53:390:53:40

This week, the parents have decided that Gracie, Jack and Tom

0:53:430:53:46

haven't been up to scratch, and have put them in the bottom three.

0:53:460:53:50

But only one of them will be leaving the house for good.

0:53:500:53:52

Ruby, Jo and Ryan are safe for now, and wait for the final decision.

0:53:560:53:59

Shocked. I'm seriously shocked. Who should go now?

0:54:000:54:03

I think it's Grace or Jack.

0:54:030:54:06

Quite disappointed in this last one.

0:54:060:54:08

-Are you?

-It's your mucking about, Jack.

-What did I do wrong?

0:54:080:54:12

With the dogs.

0:54:120:54:13

Mucking about with the dogs, and being really cheeky, a bit sarcastic.

0:54:130:54:17

You know what you were doing. You don't pull the dog away, Jack.

0:54:200:54:23

Yeah, but it was really amusing.

0:54:230:54:25

Well, it's not, really, because you just make yourself look stupid.

0:54:250:54:28

We can see that you and Jack are really good friends.

0:54:280:54:32

And you do seem to egg each other on, and you're being silly.

0:54:320:54:36

I think we were all quite disappointed to see that

0:54:360:54:39

you went from what you did last week, to this week.

0:54:390:54:41

And that's why you've ended up where you were.

0:54:410:54:44

OK.

0:54:440:54:46

Grace, I was a bit disappointed this week with you throwing your tantrums.

0:54:460:54:51

You lost the money and we understand you was pissed off with yourself,

0:54:510:54:55

but you seemed to let it get into the next day,

0:54:550:54:57

with the kennels, where you had a bad attitude.

0:54:570:55:00

You've done certain things well in the last couple of weeks.

0:55:000:55:03

And I think the wheels fell off this week, a bit.

0:55:030:55:06

It's time to put the young Dumbers out of their misery.

0:55:100:55:12

Grace, you'll be coming home with me tonight.

0:55:190:55:22

Can't wait to get my phone, to see Mum.

0:55:220:55:25

Home first, Mum second.

0:55:250:55:27

While Gracie and Dad chat,

0:55:270:55:30

Tom and Jack's mum drag them out for a one-on-one.

0:55:300:55:32

What I want you to do is just to stop being silly.

0:55:320:55:35

Because, at the end of the day,

0:55:350:55:37

it came across that you were mocking.

0:55:370:55:39

Joking about Jack, he's not funny, it's not working.

0:55:390:55:41

Showing me up in a lot of ways. I've got to sit there and watch that.

0:55:410:55:45

Say you got me a Chihuahua. I lasted one or two weeks.

0:55:450:55:47

You ain't got one.

0:55:470:55:48

What do you mean I haven't got one?

0:55:480:55:51

-I'm not getting you a Chihuahua until you start backing up...

-You promised!

0:55:510:55:54

So another one bites the dust.

0:56:020:56:04

Ah!

0:56:040:56:05

Has Gracie learnt anything from her time in the house? Will the others find her lost money?

0:56:050:56:10

And what will she call her new Chihuahua if her dad gives in and buys it for her?

0:56:100:56:14

Who knows? But for the time being, Gracie remains...

0:56:140:56:18

Young, dumb and living off Mum.

0:56:180:56:20

Party! Party!

0:56:220:56:24

Next week, it's time to bring out the clowns

0:56:240:56:26

as our gang try to run a children's party.

0:56:260:56:30

I'm not in the mood to entertain any more.

0:56:330:56:35

Where's the disco?!

0:56:350:56:37

But when they bring the party home...

0:56:370:56:39

It's so fucking cold!

0:56:390:56:41

..Things get out of hand.

0:56:410:56:42

-You've done fuck-all since you've been here!

-Oh, my God!

0:56:420:56:46

And it looks like the house could be split for good.

0:56:460:56:49

I fucking had it through with the fucking lot of you!

0:56:490:56:52
