Very interesting programme, almost made me jealous of their tranquille commited society. My only gripe was why were the kids from the UK nearly all from the South East, when they were supposed to be a representation of the UK, typical Channel 4 programme developers again can't see past the M25. Aso why do they always pick mailnly lazy thick slackers to be put forward for the show, I'm sure there are some clever hard working teenagers somewhere in the UK. Still enjoyed it though, looking forward to next weeks show.

I enjoyed the last series so was looking forward to this one where Brit teenagers get to experience the Amish lifestyle. I was concerned that the ones chosen would be an embarassment, and yes they're lazy but in general were respectful to the family they stayed with.
I have a feeling the boy who's spent time in care and lives in a hostel will enjoy feeling part of a community, I could see the change in him after his first week. Personally I'd love to spend time with the Amish, I enjoy their simplicity and almost purity of life and have total espect for their hard working ways. Looking forward to the next episode
I watched the programme and really enjoyed it.
I admire the Amish people's sense of community and their pleasure in life's simpler things. I think the British teenagers will benefit from their experience of Living With The Amish.
I really enjoyed this programme too.
I hope Jonathan and his wife do have children as he would make a great daddy.
I must say living life the Amish way seems very appealing at times.
Just watched it on 4 OD - what a lovely couple - I think the boy from the hostel (can't remember his name) really touched Jonathan's heart and vice versa. Poor boy - he seems to have had a bit of a sad life - hope he finds something in this experience. I'm sure they all will TBH.
I just watched my recording and i thought it was good too!
I felt sorry for the lad who grew up in care aswell, i thought he'd want to stay/go back and become a member of their community.
I loved it - so glad they made one of British children trying out Amish life.
I loved their hosts Jonathan and his wife were lovely and I agree that the boy from the hostel seems to have led a very sad life and will probably get the most out of this
