Exiled

Two years ago, Amanda had a super sweet 16 any girl would die for, including a performance by R&B sensation Ciara. The grand total for Amanda's Polynesian extravaganza? More than $200,000! And her father said he would do it all over again... Flash forward two years, and not much has changed. Amanda is still a spoiled, bratty, pampered princess. She graduated from high school last spring but still lives at home and hasn't been working or going to college. In fact, she spends most of her time shopping and going to the beach. And, yes, daddy still pays for whatever her heart desires. But all that's all about to change!Her father’s had enough of her entitled behavior so Amanda is being EXILED to the plains of Kenya, where she’ll live with members of the Massai tribe and spend her days exactly as they do. From herding cattle and trekking four miles just to get water to building a house from dung and watching a goat be slaughtered in her honor, this prissy princess is definitely going to be out of her element! Can Amanda learn to grow up and get her attitude in check or will she wilt in the African heat?

Ava’s sweet 16 was one everyone will always remember – she went shopping for the perfect dress in Paris, called her mom a bitch when she canceled her credit card and threw the temper tantrum heard round the world when there wasn’t a shiny new Range Rover waiting for her the morning of her 16th birthday. Now a 19 year-old sophomore in college and is still running up mom and dad’s credit card bills. For this global studies major, life is good. In fact, it’s great, and that’s because Ava has absolutely no responsibility, except to get good grades. Ava’s parents feel like they’ve made a deal with the devil: in exchange for the grades, they’ve fed their daughter’s insatiable appetite for the good life and she’s never had to get her hands dirty. But Ava’s mother thinks it’s about time for this silver spoon to be pried out of her mouth… and replaced with a rusty hoe. In this episode of Exiled, Ava will be plucked from Beverly Hills and sent to the remote hills of Thailand where she’ll live in a rickety straw hut with her host sister, Laddee, who will school her in the real world! Waking up at the crack of dawn to tend to the local elephants and collecting their football size elephant poop are just some the fun daily lessons she will have to look forward to. Ava thinks that because she’s travelled the world and studying other cultures that she knows how other people live. But this Beverly Hills brat soon realizes that this trip is more than she bargained for! Will Ava crack under the pressure of her new environment or will she come away from this experience having learned the lesson of a lifetime?

It's been two years since private-school cheerleader Chelsi celebrated her Super Sweet 16 with a Roman-themed toga party that made her a legend in her small New Hampshire town. Now, Chelsi is a senior in high school who'll be going to college in the fall but still thinks she should be treated like an Empress. The 18 year old Chelsi is so lazy and needy that she won't dare lift a finger at home. She even goes so far as to say that she deserves to be pampered and spoiled just because she gets good grades. But Mom and Dad have had enough. Her mother Jodi knows that her enabling doesn't help, and that Chelsi had better learn some coping skills soon or she'll have melt down when she goes off to college next year.

Three years ago, Super Sweet 16er Bjorn proclaimed himself a Divo. And guess what? He still has a knack for fashion – and for daddy’s credit card! But mother Maureen and father Carlton have decided that the buck stops here: Bjorn has maxed out their credit cards and their patience for the last time! In this episode of Exiled, Bjorn will be forced to learn to grow up and start earning his keep. He’ll be whisked away from suburban Connecticut and sent to the deserts of Morocco, where he’ll be living with his new brother Said and the Berber nomadic tribe. Said will show him that in this Muslim town, Bjorn’s bossy divo attitude won’t get him anywhere and that the only way to earn respect will be to work hard and shut up. When this fashion plate has trade his Chanel sunglasses & D&G jeans for a Turban and Jellaba, he knows his world has been turned upside down. Will Bjorn be able to shed his Divo persona and learn how to earn his keep, or will life in the desert sun be too much for this city slicker?

Acting the part of the "sweet little girl" has had some major advantages for former Super Sweet 16er Marissa: she's always gotten her every wish from her parents. But two years later, Ditzy dreamer Marissa threw the most over-the-top Sweet 16 Scottsdale, Arizona had ever seen. She took her obsession with the color pink to new levels and got everything she could ever ask for just by asking her daddy, including not one, but two brand news cars!
