The World's Strictest Parents season 4 episode 2 Western Cape, South Africa Two families at the end of their wick send their disobedient children to South Africa to stay with a lesbian couple, the du Toit de Vos family. 17-year-old British Asian Hamzah Wali is caught between two worlds. His traditional Pakistani family expect him to pray, attend mosque and read the Koran. But Hamzah wants to smoke, drink and date girls. Charlie Denny's parents spent thousands of pounds on her education, but she still flunked out of private school.

Her father has multiple sclerosis, but Charlie is too busy getting drunk and no-one talks about it. Gay mum Anna-Marie is a barrister and her partner Suzanne is an artist. They fought the laws against gay couples adopting children - and won.

So taking on two rebellious British teenagers is going to be an interesting challenge for them. Hamzah isn't best pleased to find two women telling him what to do. He refuses to participate in family meals, school work and helping around the farm. When Anna-Marie asks him to help plant a tree Hamzah walks off the job and sparks fly.

It should go without saying that the title of this risky but enlightening reality show is a huge overstatement when you actually watch the show. I learned from Wikipedia that this show, like many other successful reality TV programs in the U.S., originated in the United Kingdom not too long ago. I've only seen the episodes aired on MTV (also shown on MTV's sister station, CMT). Judging from what episodes I've seen, I wonder how MTV as a whole defines the word 'strict', and what kind of parenting would be considered reasonable according to their standards. Truth be told, it's a great premise for a show, and there has not been one episode I've seen that has made me want to stop watching.

In the show, there are two teenagers (usually no older than 18) who are deemed unruly by the producers, and therefore by the audience. These teens (different ones every week) are not unruly to the point of juvenile delinquency where they need to be sent to an institution, but they are almost always from a city (mostly Los Angeles, apparently the jaded teenager capital of the world, which it just may be), and come across as uncontrollable. They display the bad kind of independence consisting of drinking to excess frequently, smoking, or both, and sassiness to match. In other words, they have attitudes that may welcome them into Paris Hilton's circle of friends easily, but not into the real world. The show doesn't usually bother to explain how they got this way, or place much blame on their parents for that matter. Still, they get sent to another set of parents, usually in a rural area, who are strict apparently because they establish an acceptable code of conduct for their children and guests, assign chores, and actually (gasp!) punish them for disobeying the rules or talking back.

The teenagers given this special assignment from the show stay with this family for just seven days. Now, I don't know if the teens themselves actually audition for this show, or if their parents sign them up for it.

I also don't know at what point these teens know what they're in for. Regardless, it is nice to see these teens clean up their attitude in the course of the week.

Most of the teens have messy encounters with the parents within the first day. It seems as though TV in general thrives on Reality TV meltdowns, but these fights are the same kind you feel when you're a guest at a regular person's house and a loud argument between a parent and a child ensues. You feel a different kind of thick tension that you don't feel when Flavor Flav's skanky girlfriends get into cat fights. It's incredibly uncomfortable. However, from those tense moments come some poignant moments resulting from reconciliation, depending on whether or not the teen leaves the show (which has happened only once according to my count). When the teen makes a connection with the temporarily adoptive parent, the resolution seems far less scripted than other reality shows.
