The show just is not long enough to show what the families do with them. It is a shame each family should have a series

ten days is not long enough IMO

These shows should be longer- 6 months or something

Agree, how can a week make that much of a difference? They are definitely fulfilling before and after a role.

Did you see the one where kids went to a family in Lebanon? Now that mom was strict!

Yeah, she also took the kids to a mosque and force the girl to wear a headscarf (in the mosque), and told them not to go outside "If Israel starts bombing us" or something like that.

Leave it to the BBC to keep that line in after a week's worth of footage is edited.

She warned the girl that "Israel can bomb us at any time, we never know when." - or something like that.

Who cares. She's right. What's interesting is that no mention of the Muslims killing them for being xtia was made. At any time. Or maybe it was edited out. Gotta love the BBC. I think that only added to the thrill of those poor children's visit!

There was one show taking place in NJ where the host family received permission from the parents for the girl to stay an extra couple of weeks because they felt that the initial time was too short to make any significant headway.

Yes, I saw that one with the two dads and all the adopted and foster children. The girl developed this really lovely relationship with them. They were super strict at the beginning and yet relaxed at the same time. That was a really fun one to watch. IIRC they made the boy work at the restaurant, and the kids had get drug tests, and it was all about trust. Great show.

That Israel just randomly bombs civilians?

Not sure if you were just being facetious?

it seems to me that these teens are so used to rules not being enforced that they figure that it'll be the same wherever they're going and they'll have a blast in a foreign country. and they're quite surprised later - but then learn that it can even improve their lives.
