The Curtis's charitable work is completely admirable, of course, but to have a library and church named after yourselves, and then to be crowned chief of a village is more than narcissistic!!
they didn't name it themselves, the village did. I personally think this is all a bit 'wild thornberries'. They give some time a year to this village, then go back to their John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, 5 bedroom house lifestyle. Why don't they just sell everything, give the money to the village and become low-paid teachers out there?
Exactly is not altruism. When you need to brag about what you do and call all the children yours cause you built a library. Why not be humble and do it
I remember this when it was first shown, and thought both families had their faults and were extreme opposites. Although the Curtis's seemed like they were all about doing good for the less fortunate, it did not sit right with me how they seemed to enjoy being treated like royalty by the people they help. This made me question their motives.
I can't imagine anyone would put that much work in, live in those conditions, in that heat year in, year out just for a little bit of special treatment. The villagers are grateful for the work they're doing - of course, they're going to treat them well. It's called gratitude. They have nothing of material value to offer in return so they say thank you by treating them well, like royalty as you say. Not every good deed has selfish motives. Rosemary and her family have done wonderful things in Ghana and should be very proud of how they have changed peoples lives for the better.
Amy Webb u be surprised I work with couple missionary An they talk down about the ppl they help or love talking about how poor they were it just a ego bust to them ( I hate to say half of the group was like that)
A truly boring fart; a perfect judgemental Christian knob with oodles of, so no, personality to speak of. Dragged up by a bible thumper. Maybe I should feel sorry for her and her boring existence.
@@andyc80 wow judgemental much??? I volunteer all I can and over seas. But when I go on vacation I go to relax. I work 2 jobs to save up for trips, and get only the rare week off. So yeah when I get my week off I want to actually enjoy it
Wow what a ''Christian'' attitude from Emily,she even showed aggression in her body language.As a Christian myself,she has proven herself not to be a true & loving one.Her parents handled the situation in a much more caring way.
@John Doe everyone has their opinions and belief system. No one is better than another. It's nice to see a bit of humanity at work giving and helping those who need help no matter where in the world they are
I'm not a Christian, but you're way of thinking is a large part of why people don't like Christianity, there is so much self loathing and looking down on non believers and even your own. Anyone can be as religious or not as they want, you're judging of that isn't a good trait. Judas.
Should be more sympathetic towards the Curtis family but I found them a bit self glorifying. A lot of money could have been saved if they hadn't had those big meals and the crowning ceremony. The Littlechild's could only do what they could do, they did try and raise awareness of the situation when they got home.
Indeed, the curtis family would have consumed charitable resources staying there on site and with all the showy, ceremonial stuff. And apart from transporting some needed stuff in luggage, didn't appear to DO all that much
Exactly, better off helping and supporting the economy in the area by paying for a hotel and food, than living off families who have nothing that you are supposed to be supporting x
Emily was a brat, the incident in the club was not well thought but they were not forced to stay, and the other family did not hold it against them for leaving.
I don't get why if they are real christians they would accept food that people have had to go hungry for and even accept being a chief, isn't there something about being humble in Christianity
I think it’s misleading to call the religious family’s charity work trip to Ghana a Holiday and Emily is the most sanctimonious person that I’ve ever seen on any of these shows. She needs to stop being so nasty about people enjoying things.
I would love to go to that village in Ghana for a week to help in anyway I could. It makes you truly appreciate everything that us in 'developed' countries actually have.
It's amazing work that the Christian parents are doing and very selfless. The ladies that wanted to leave should not have been made to feel guilty or look bad. I think Emily sees the worst in others unlike her dad in particular.
anne jacobsen erm because they are boring! Unless you have a medical reason not to drink then you just need to let your hair down and have a drink and chill out
The religious daughter needs learned that the other family had not expected that kind of thing. Their bodies were tired from travelling, they were shocked by the climate temperature etc and its something they were not prepared for as it is something new. All of that together is enough to exempt them for the first day at least to get to grips with it all. They were allowed to exempt themselves from certain parts of the others holiday so especially being the good Christian girl she is supposed to be she should be more understanding like her mother was.
especially if church was so important. Let them rest the day they arrive so they will be up and ready for church. They are jet legged, three of them went with you shopping and such intead of resting. Then you wake them up early and drag them to 3 church services, and complain they are not all chipper and happy. I'd have insulted them at the lunch too as I have food allergies and liely couldnt have eaten anything (allergic to fish and cross contamination would concern me with the other food)
There is no one way to charity, and charity starts equally with everyone around you. If you're really such a kind person, you would be kind to everyone, not just exclusively to the group of people who worship you. Also, would it still be considered charity if someone donates, helps pack boxes, and speaks out for the cause but never travel there to live among the people they are helping? I feel these are 2 totally separate things. I'm not saying the work they do isn't wonderful. I'm saying that I hope Emily doesn't get caught up in the superficial part of charity and forget its true meaning like she and many other religious people do.
it is sad that somebody made it into the news just the other day for helping an elderly person cross a busy street. I honestly thought that helping others in ordinary little ways was just a normal thing. I'm disappointed to discover that I am wrong.
I found this episode to be a little sad.I thought I could relate to 1 family because of the missionary work, I couldn't. I thought I could relate to the other family cuz I've enjoyed vacations dancing, drinking and relaxing, I couldn't. They both just seem too judgmental (in different ways.) They both need to find a happy middle. When I have done missionary work I actually WORKED but I found it very gratifying. On the other hand when I've had vacations like the 1 in Cancun I also enjoyed that. Neither 1 appreciated what the other had to offer. I also feel giving should be done without expecting recognition. I found the crowning self serving. The only thing that helped was at least 1 family decided to help more. Emily's attitude was atrocious and I found her to be the least likable of all them. As a Christian when I watch shows like this and there's a Christian family represented I always hope they'll come off well they typically never do it's like they pick the most judgemental, uncompromising, self serving Christians like Emily and her Dad. I don't know what it says about me but I would have enjoyed a week working in Ghana with children and helping build something and I would have also enjoyed a week in Cancun swimming with dolphins and having a drink on the beach. I would be grateful for both opportunities.
I really don't get who these families are - a big clue would be how they earn a crust. I didn't get the bit about having five holidays a year, but drives an ice cream van. Is it that profitable?
Did the daughter who had a childhood dream of swimming with dolphins and got to do it and was unhappy about it think that she would be swimming in the ocean with them?! Hehe She was upset that her dream came true lol
She was right about that though, there are places where they go out on boats and find the pod(?) Of dolphins then people swim with them in the wild. Dolphins should be in the wild not tiny little pools. Watch the 2009 documentary "The Cove" and see how these places aquire their dolphins it's absolutely disgusting how they are rounded up into a cove in Japan, they take the young/pretty ones and sell them to oceanariums and zoos then the rest are stabbed with giant spears and sold for meat. The sea in the cove literally turns red from the blood it's absolutely sickening.
The Curtis's need to be more open minded and less judgemental. Their white saviourism holiday is as bad if not worse than what the little child's enjoy
I don't think either family came out of this well, but of course they always choose polar opposites for the entertainment factor. One day I want to go on holiday to the Riviera Maya in Mexico but think I'll give the Cancun Palace a miss.
I personally, would love both vacations! One, party, enjoy the beauty of Cancun. Going to Africa, has always been a dream of mine. To get the opportunity to help those in need and in such a beautiful country, what a gift!~ I would love to have their experiences, however, I would have been respectful to everyone.
This was the BEST episode! I did quite like Rosemary (god rest her soul), but Emily had a real rod up her butt. The Littlechilds are probably a bit ‘much’ but their holiday looks amazing! They should have at least had somewhere adequate to sleep/wash/eat and still be able to take part in the activities. Also a quick check of social media, it sadly looks like Kelly Littlechild’s mum Jill passed away in 2021. RIP ❤️ If I’m honest, the first airport segment makes me realise how heavily edited this show was, they could have met before the first morning… Cristians tend to be notoriously judgemental as shown with the young lad (who said NOTHING after this) but diving straight into derogatory remarks about Essex residents. Their ‘God is Great’ song has stood the test of time though 😂 amen 👏🏻👏🏻 amen 👏🏻👏🏻 amen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
+Diane Alexander It was the daughter who was the worst, very unforgiving (not the Christian way) and expecting the other family to comply completely. I've lived in Nigeria myself, it is definitely a culture shock for Europeans and not all non-Africans can cope with it. The daughter should have recognised this in the other family. The mother I thought was lovely and very understanding when the Littlechilds wanted to leave.
+Diane Alexander how and in what way did they make christians look bad? the littlechilds are narcissists self consuming self centered uneducated the list goes on
How is Emily's mom OK with her piercings!!! isn't that tampering with her body that God gave them, show a little bit of that committment of yours to your children!
True but i think the fun family didn't look down on the missionary family like they looked down on them. Fun family just didn't like Ghana because it was way out of their comfort zone and a huge culture shock. Although i do think fun family should have given it a chance but if both families got on well and didn't have any problems then the program wouldn't be as entertaining. I hope someone posts more holiday showdowns though.
That touched my heart see it all those airplanes fly doing that that guy made them... Those kids are so different away from their parents I am so proud of them for continuing that day...... That really touched my heart made me all sappy
As I child I lived for 3 years in central Africa in a small village doing charity work to uplift the local community. It was through a church but no missionary work was allowed, only work like teaching at school, plumbers, builders, medical jobs like drs and nurses etc. It was an amazing experience and one that’ll live with me forever but it wasn’t a holiday. We only had close family visit us, and we all had to respect the locals and their customs and not look down on their way of life or poverty. We used to drive a few 100km away to go for holidays in the same country but in touristy areas.
I would do both holidays they are both so different it’s amazing what the Ghana family do x but it’s okay to let your hair down but that be a amazing holiday Ghana help people
I stayed at Xcarat, hotel as well as a park. Briings back memories. Can swim with sharks as well. Has amazing underground rivers to swim, zoo and aquarium, and more. Also like 10 minutes from the major ruins like Coba and Tulum. Money wise I have more in common with the religious group, but when I travel I like to spend money and enjoy. I just travel less and save more to do it. I love volunteering but would never call that trip to Ghana a holiday. Or expect others to think it was.
Wow I remember watching this as a kid when it first aired all those years ago. I understand that the lady Rosemary Curtis sadly passed away from cancer since the show aired. I don't mean to speak ill of the dead, as she and her family clearly did good works, but I agree with the comment below that Rosemary in particular seemed to enjoy being put on a pedestal by the people in Ghana. And having the library named 'Rosemary Curtis Library' seems very self-righteous. Doesn't seem to reconcile with the supposed 'selfless' work they were doing. Seems more like she was trying to prove something !
Okay sorry, I admire their charity work and changes they’ve made to people’s lives, but the genuine people in this were the Littlechild family. A library named after you and some weird ceremony to make you some sort of royalty? Narcissistic behaviour at best.
I agree. I find them disingenuous too. Completely for their own self gratification to act like they’re royalty. Probably couldn’t give a f about the actual charity could they.
I would hate both of these holidays 😂. I am not opposed to missionary work or to a more luxury/ resort holiday... but both of these are just overwhelming. Senior frogs... I've been to one in Cyprus it is my idea of anxiety central and hell 😂
I wish I knew where I could find the other 30 odd episodes. It will be on tapes owned by the production company and even ingested somewhere on an archive. Even on VHS tapes in someone’s attic
It's depends on what part of Ghana. The cities are more developed and they have beautiful beaches as well. They just sent them to a less developed part.
Not fair to expect people to join in with something they are not even aware of.The Curtis's wallowed in their holier than thou attitude.The daughter was unbearable and rude.Very unfair to expect people to give up their holiday to follow people who want to be worshiped.
It's the entertainment factor- it's always either: -Rich Vs Poor -Decadent Vs Moral -Tacky Vs Snobby. That's all it is. Notice that both of these families were actually quite well off. The entertainment this time comes from the fact that the Littlechilds have decadent and tacky holidays. While the Curtis's have very spartan, principled (but often self-righteous) ones. But yes, Emily is very judgemental for a supposed "Christian".
I can lay on a beach, get drunkard and sunburnt in my own country let alone my own state! So I rather spend a holiday being worlds away learning with another culture. Alcohol is a depressant. Smiles and laughter is medicine for the soul❤
Emily has been unfairly edited here. You can tell, as every time she is talking, the video jumps as they select the bits they want, to make her appear as they want.
The girl in the Christian family has to be the most un charitable cruel unfriendly and judgemental person I have seen. She needs to look at herself and reflect on how she makes instant opinions of others
Regarding the water in the jacuzzis, it isn't drinkable like the tap water in most European countries (I.E Spain, Greece, Turkey). the water parks are the same if not salt water, so good luck giving that to the African villages to drink. You'd probably kill them half of them off !!
I'm sorry but the other family have no idea what they sound like when they are moaning about needing showers, air con and this that and the other ,,,The whole point of this experience in Ghana is to be aware & appreciate what they do have compared to what little these villagers don't and give rather than take and yeh its going to be a culture shock but i think most of us could do with a bit of that. I have been in a situation where i was nearly homeless and had little (and i'm talking about food, basics etc ) not material things but compared to these villagers i was a lot richer in that, but i think they are richer in their community spirit and how they all pull together and help each other...Our Countires and cultures seem to have lost that .Well done to the son and his girlfriend for sticking it out to see the real world ,the true poor, but the most giving people in those missionaries .
They miss breakfast because they can't face it and they want to go home? There's no empathy for those for which it's a way of everyday life. Be grateful for what you have people.
why do Christians always feel they can judge? infact any religious person. just accept people and live your life. euugh Emily is going to spend her life appalled at so many things.
I knew Emily a while ago and she is a genuinely lovely person. The problem with shows like this is both positive and negative opinions can be expressed by any individual and edited in such a way that they can be made to be made to look like a pain in the bum. I assure you, she's fair from the person she's painted out to be here.
She came across as a pretentious twat. Probably now has kids that she brings up vegan. She made my blood boil, her attitude clearly showed that she felt superior to the other family.
I didn't see what a lot of these on here were saying about Emily..all i saw was a young person with such compassion and empathy and truly someone who cares about the world and the enviroment we live in. I agreed with how she felt at the other family bottling out of the rest of the holiday because it wasn't what they were used to.God help them if they were ever to survive an apocalypse .
🤔💭🤷♀️How she feel about coming across as the ultimate thunder cunt...??! 🤔💭🤦♀️🤷♀️I honestly really would love to know... 🙏 lol 😜 🙋♀️ Btw it’s these kind of Christians who PUSH PEOPLE FURTHER AWAY 🙅♀️ FROM THE CHURCH! ⛪ 👍🤗🤦♀️
The Curtis's charitable work is completely admirable, of course, but to have a library and church named after yourselves, and then to be crowned chief of a village is more than narcissistic!!
I am sure they didn't name it themselves.
they didn't name it themselves, the village did. I personally think this is all a bit 'wild thornberries'. They give some time a year to this village, then go back to their John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, 5 bedroom house lifestyle. Why don't they just sell everything, give the money to the village and become low-paid teachers out there?
Exactly is not altruism. When you need to brag about what you do and call all the children yours cause you built a library. Why not be humble and do it
@@bubbacalling and what do you do lol
The Curtis's enjoy what you call 'white savourisum'

Although the Curtis's seemed like they were all about doing good for the less fortunate, it did not sit right with me how they seemed to enjoy being treated like royalty by the people they help. This made me question their motives.
My point exactly. Why compare mission work with a vacation, I say !
Were they supposed to reject the kindness of the people? They would be insulted.

It same for missionary coming to Africa just to make themselves feel like gods an feel better about themselves

Emily is so self righteous it makes you sick
She really is a piece of work.
+Gifty Boachie maybe she will grow up one day .
Emily is so judgemental for a supposedly giving person
A truly boring fart; a perfect judgemental Christian knob with oodles of, so no, personality to speak of. Dragged up by a bible thumper. Maybe I should feel sorry for her and her boring existence.
Oh my god isnt She just then turns out her first time watned leave to lol
After watching this I'm definitely booking cancun
“It’s a selfish place, people are only here for self gratification” Yeah it’s called a holiday!!!
Good bless rosemary. Emily needs a bloody good slap she has a serious attitude problem.
Just watched the final renunion and. The discussion of how each family felt and Emily IS a self righteous wee cow.

'I hate hot weather' - so what the hell do you go to Cancun for? Skiing?
Ha I thought the same, in his head he maybe meant sticky and humid etc.
missionary christian work ? lol
Reasonable point, but costal heat is very different to the middle of Africa heat. Plus the resort has air conditioning LOL
Emily was a brat, the incident in the club was not well thought but they were not forced to stay, and the other family did not hold it against them for leaving.
I don't get why if they are real christians they would accept food that people have had to go hungry for and even accept being a chief, isn't there something about being humble in Christianity
Because you are ignorant about the situation in these places. If you reject food or titles it is a great insult. You would not be allowed back.
I think it’s misleading to call the religious family’s charity work trip to Ghana a Holiday and Emily is the most sanctimonious person that I’ve ever seen on any of these shows. She needs to stop being so nasty about people enjoying things.
I remember seeing this first time round and always remember thinking fair play to the Essex family for supporting charities at the end of it all.
This is the best one. That resort looked like a right shithole. Ghana is not a poor country either. Eshh !
I would love to go to that village in Ghana for a week to help in anyway I could. It makes you truly appreciate everything that us in 'developed' countries actually have.
Me too..I've always wanted to do this sort of thing eva since I was a young child...I lacked in confidence to do it 😢my life would have felt right.
It's amazing work that the Christian parents are doing and very selfless. The ladies that wanted to leave should not have been made to feel guilty or look bad. I think Emily sees the worst in others unlike her dad in particular.
If true, the villagers should never have been put in a position where they had to go without food. I couldn't have eaten if that was the case.
Why are people always called boring if they dont drink alcohol? A ridiculous statement
anne jacobsen erm because they are boring! Unless you have a medical reason not to drink then you just need to let your hair down and have a drink and chill out
anne jacobsen I don't think that's what makes her boring, the fact that they were so unwilling to join in makes them boring!
What a pathetic answer from probably a younger uneducated person still yet to really know the meaning of life!
I'm incredibly uncomfortable with the missionary family's self importance. Especially the Chiefdom thing.
Yeah they wanted to show the world this lol and they did
The religious daughter needs learned that the other family had not expected that kind of thing.
Their bodies were tired from travelling, they were shocked by the climate temperature etc and its something they were not prepared for as it is something new.

That touched my heart see it all those airplanes fly doing that that guy made them... Those kids are so different away from their parents I am so proud of them for continuing that day...... That really touched my heart made me all sappy
As I child I lived for 3 years in central Africa in a small village doing charity work to uplift the local community. It was through a church but no missionary work was allowed, only work like teaching at school, plumbers, builders, medical jobs like drs and nurses etc. It was an amazing experience and one that’ll live with me forever but it wasn’t a holiday. We only had close family visit us, and we all had to respect the locals and their customs and not look down on their way of life or poverty. We used to drive a few 100km away to go for holidays in the same country but in touristy areas.
The old EastEnder sounded like Barbra Windsor :)
aren't christians supposed to accept other people and not judge, she swims with dolphins and complains ....what
16:29 Emily was smoking then she was complaining about drinking and swearing!
it wasnt a holiday more of a mission!
I would do both holidays they are both so different it’s amazing what the Ghana family do x but it’s okay to let your hair down but that be a amazing holiday Ghana help people
I stayed at Xcarat, hotel as well as a park. Briings back memories. Can swim with sharks as well. Has amazing underground rivers to swim, zoo and aquarium, and more. Also like 10 minutes from the major ruins like Coba and Tulum. Money wise I have more in common with the religious group, but when I travel I like to spend money and enjoy. I just travel less and save more to do it. I love volunteering but would never call that trip to Ghana a holiday. Or expect others to think it was.
Do you have anymore holiday showdown episodes? especially the ghosts/haven holiday showdown episode??
and shes got tattoos all very tribal!
Really hate seeing British people been so fussy with food they won’t even try, it’s so rude!
is emily possessed or something she creeps me out lol
Wow I remember watching this as a kid when it first aired all those years ago. I understand that the lady Rosemary Curtis sadly passed away from cancer since the show aired. I don't mean to speak ill of the dead, as she and her family clearly did good works, but I agree with the comment below that Rosemary in particular seemed to enjoy being put on a pedestal by the people in Ghana. And having the library named 'Rosemary Curtis Library' seems very self-righteous. Doesn't seem to reconcile with the supposed 'selfless' work they were doing. Seems more like she was trying to prove something !
She did good work period !
I don't see how going to Ghana is a vacation...I wish they had chose a different family
Ghana is a beautiful place. They didn't take them to tourists hotspots. Instead, they took them to to a nasty village with nothing.
Why didn't they swap with another missionary family ?????
Yes I bet they wished that too!
can i ask where the blackpool and dubai show is ,.cant find it anywhere
VERY glad to see that at least one of them disliked the swim with dolphins!! They are ocean creatures, not for our entertainment.
Okay sorry, I admire their charity work and changes they’ve made to people’s lives, but the genuine people in this were the Littlechild family. A library named after you and some weird ceremony to make you some sort of royalty? Narcissistic behaviour at best.
Well said pure narcissists
I agree. I find them disingenuous too. Completely for their own self gratification to act like they’re royalty. Probably couldn’t give a f about the actual charity could they.
I would hate both of these holidays 😂. I am not opposed to missionary work or to a more luxury/ resort holiday... but both of these are just overwhelming. Senior frogs... I've been to one in Cyprus it is my idea of anxiety central and hell 😂
😂😂 senior frog in Agia Napa was an absolute cluster fuck
'The family finds out where they're going at the airport'.
Has to have jabs before going to Ghana.
Charity work is not a damn vacation lmao
That angry dogooder lesbian is the most infuriating character I’ve seen
I love them all! Thanks for uploading!
I wish I knew where I could find the other 30 odd episodes. It will be on tapes owned by the production company and even ingested somewhere on an archive. Even on VHS tapes in someone’s attic
Ghana is a grim place. Cancun is a holiday. Enough said
It's depends on what part of Ghana. The cities are more developed and they have beautiful beaches as well. They just sent them to a less developed part.
Emily I hope you have matured in the last few years and have become more Christian in that you should love mankind, even if you have to go to Cancun 😀
Emily is stuck up her own backside, can't stand people like that
Not fair to expect people to join in with something they are not even aware of.The Curtis's wallowed in their holier than thou attitude.The daughter was unbearable and rude.Very unfair to expect people to give up their holiday to follow people who want to be worshiped.
That is one thing I refuse point blank to do ,,,,,,swim with dolphins , it upsets me so much seeing them in confinement for our “enjoyment “
How disgusting...what behaviour from Emily and family...you should be ashamed!!!!!
It's the entertainment factor- it's always either:
-Rich Vs Poor
-Decadent Vs Moral
-Tacky Vs Snobby.
That's all it is. Notice that both of these families were actually quite well off. The entertainment this time comes from the fact that the Littlechilds have decadent and tacky holidays. While the Curtis's have very spartan, principled (but often self-righteous) ones. But yes, Emily is very judgemental for a supposed "Christian".
it makes me sick to see these sad , so called god fearing , empty , religious freaks , do gooders but to impose it on your children is disgraceful ,
Wayne andrews I agree there are plenty of Christians who are good fun, makes us all look bad!
I can lay on a beach, get drunkard and sunburnt in my own country let alone my own state! So I rather spend a holiday being worlds away learning with another culture. Alcohol is a depressant. Smiles and laughter is medicine for the soul❤
Emily has been unfairly edited here. You can tell, as every time she is talking, the video jumps as they select the bits they want, to make her appear as they want.
The Africa part of the show reminds me of my Girl Guides trip to Africa. When I got back home I donated some money to WAGGGS!!
I only have 1 question. Why is it important to " go in the front and be seen seen by the church'?
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shame she was loverly rip hunny you were one of the good souls xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Emily needs to take a chill pill 💓
She's a total brat. Far too judgemental and if her parents are so loving and giving they really should have told her to pipe down
Love every thing about the video
The girl in the Christian family has to be the most un charitable cruel unfriendly and judgemental person I have seen. She needs to look at herself and reflect on how she makes instant opinions of others
Regarding the water in the jacuzzis, it isn't drinkable like the tap water in most European countries (I.E Spain, Greece, Turkey). the water parks are the same if not salt water, so good luck giving that to the African villages to drink. You'd probably kill them half of them off !!
Depends what you sell out of your window, most ice cream vendors sell contraband as there's very little profit in ice cream.
Wow the mom is really hot lol 45!!! She looks GREAT!! Lol
actually i thought that too, and tons of fun would love to go on holiday with her
Some of the Ghanaian women seemed to be doing very well on the lack of food and that Emily hmm something quite sinister about that girl
Thank you for uploading. Excellent. Can anyone upload anymore or let me know where I can watch other episodes?
I'm sorry but the other family have no idea what they sound like when they are moaning about needing showers, air con and this that and the other ,,,The whole point of this experience in Ghana is to be aware & appreciate what they do have compared to what little these villagers don't and give rather than take and yeh its going to be a culture shock but i think most of us could do with a bit of that. I have been in a situation where i was nearly homeless and had little (and i'm talking about food, basics etc ) not material things but compared to these villagers i was a lot richer in that, but i think they are richer in their community spirit and how they all pull together and help each other...Our Countires and cultures seem to have lost that .Well done to the son and his girlfriend for sticking it out to see the real world ,the true poor, but the most giving people in those missionaries .
Too bad there's no updates on where these families are now and what they are up too.
They miss breakfast because they can't face it and they want to go home? There's no empathy for those for which it's a way of everyday life. Be grateful for what you have people.
In Mexico that sea is absolutely beautiful and so clean
Emily was well ahead of her time with her self righteous attitude.
Lol
The nan just needed a electric scooter and change her name to Madge 😂
I'm sorry I don't - however if you google 'Holiday Showdown episodes online' you'll find several links to episodes that you can watch for free.
why do Christians always feel they can judge? infact any religious person. just accept people and live your life. euugh Emily is going to spend her life appalled at so many things.
Sweeping statement as if atheists and other irreligious people don't judge.
Why should weather or not you drink define you?
I knew Emily a while ago and she is a genuinely lovely person. The problem with shows like this is both positive and negative opinions can be expressed by any individual and edited in such a way that they can be made to be made to look like a pain in the bum. I assure you, she's fair from the person she's painted out to be here.
She came across as a pretentious twat. Probably now has kids that she brings up vegan. She made my blood boil, her attitude clearly showed that she felt superior to the other family.
Your comment killed me lmaooo
I didn't see what a lot of these on here were saying about Emily..all i saw was a young person with such compassion and empathy and truly someone who cares about the world and the enviroment we live in. I agreed with how she felt at the other family bottling out of the rest of the holiday because it wasn't what they were used to.God help them if they were ever to survive an apocalypse .
Dirk Diggler ahh how did u know her? Yh she seems lovely, ur right these shows makes her looks like an ignorant person wheras she probs lovely really
🤔💭🤷♀️How she feel about coming across as the ultimate thunder cunt...??! 🤔💭🤦♀️🤷♀️I honestly really would love to know... 🙏 lol 😜
🙋♀️ Btw it’s these kind of Christians who PUSH PEOPLE FURTHER AWAY 🙅♀️ FROM THE CHURCH! ⛪ 👍🤗🤦♀️
Cancun would be a great holiday but Ghana would be a truly unforgettable experience.
How about helping the kids in your own country first
Because they wouldn't get treated like kings if they helped kids in their own country and that is their true motivation.
@@leefitzpeter4287 exactly!
Wow lighten up Emily
