Episode 4
The teenagers stay with the Burkholder family, members of a plain order called Horse and Buggy Mennonites. Back in the 1600s, the Amish split from the Mennonites to pursue a more austere way of life.
Although the Mennonites modernised slightly - they're allowed electricity and telephones, and their women wear a brighter uniform of floral dresses and frilly bonnets - they share the Amish belief that a simple Godly life is the key to contentment.
As the boys work on the family-run melon farm, the eternal pursuit of happiness starts to resonate with Etonian George, who begins to question his privileged and ambitious life back at home.
The girls are invited to party Mennonite-style at a weekly scrapbook frolic, but the fun doesn't stop there; Saturday night is youth group and it's the place to play volleyball, sing Christian songs and, if you're lucky, meet that special someone.
All the teenagers are intrigued by the innocent dating rituals of the Old Order Mennonites, none more so than James, who takes a bit of a shine to the Burkholders' eldest daughter Darleen, and becomes eager to find out how to make an impression, Mennonite-style.
