Submission Reel
Gloria: "Here I am, in Los Angeles, California ready to meet a stay-at-home father and a working mother, who need my help."

Brian: "Hi, I'm Brian Beckett. This is my wife, Rhonda. My wife works all day to pay the bills, while I stay home and clean. We have six kids, John, our oldest, is 18, Amber is 17, Amanda is 15, Stacie is 13, Peter is 6, and our youngest, Stevie is 4. John and Peter are well-behaved, but the other four are all far from well-behaved."

Stevie: "I HATE MY PARENTS AND I HATE MY TWO SIBLINGS! I ONLY CARE ABOUT MY FOUR SIBLINGS!"

Brian: "Amber likes to hang out with older boys that Rhonda and I don't know, Amanda likes to stay out past her curfew, Stacie finds a wall and colors on it and Stevie, who is the worst, eats junk food and misbehaves 24/7."

[We see Amber kissing one of her boyfriends named Orson]

Amber: "I love you so much, Orson. You deserve my love."

[Stevie throws a tennis ball at John, but misses]

John: "Stevie, you almost hurt me!"

Stevie: "I'm supposed to, John."

[Stevie laughs]

Rhonda: "What happened this time, officer?"

Officer: "Amanda has been disobeying curfew again, like she always does."

Stacie: "I like to f***ing color on walls!"

Brian: "Please, Supernanny, help me get this family back together again."

Gloria: "Don't worry, I'll be there, Mister."

Observation begins
[Gloria arrives at the Beckett home and rings the doorbell]

[Brian and Rhonda answer the door]

Brian: "Hello, you must be Gloria. I'm Brian Beckett, and this is my wife, Rhonda."

Gloria: "Nice to meet you, Brian and Rhonda."

[John and Peter come in]

Brian: "That's our sons, John and Peter."

John: "What's up?"

Peter: "Hello."

[Stevie hits Gloria with a toy baseball bat]

Stevie: "Welcome, Miss Piece of S***."

Rhonda: "Steven Daniel Beckett, watch your language, you're only 4."

[Stevie runs off laughing]

Rhonda: "Excuse me, get back here right now, please."

Stevie: "No way!"

Rhonda: "Stevie."

Stevie: "Fine. Hello, Gloria. Sorry I swore at you."

Gloria: "Apology accepted."

[Amber, Amanda and Stacie arrive]

Rhonda: "That's our other three kids, Amber, Amanda and Stacie."

[Gloria sees drawings on the wall]

Gloria: "Who drew on that wall?"

Stacie: "I did."

Brian: "Stacie, drawing goes on paper, not on walls. Do I make myself clear?"

Stacie: "Yeah."

[Gloria, Brian and Rhonda sit down]

Gloria: "What were the kids kicked out of school for?"

Brian: "Some for beating up students, some for swearing constantly, and some for flipping off people."

Gloria: "What about the holidays?"

Rhonda: "Well, We had Thanksgiving last year at my sister, Helen's house. We made the food. Later at dinner, the kids were having a food fight, which Stevie started. Stacie ate the entire cherry pie, which was considered greedy. Also, Amanda smeared gravy on the walls, and Amber hogged all the juice from Peter. They ruined Halloween last year too. John and Brian stayed and gave out candy, while the other five went with me trick-or-treating. Peter behaved the entire time trick-or-treating, but the other four had tricks up their sleeves. Stacie was covering all the houses and trees with toilet paper, Amanda was flipping off the other trick-or-treaters and swearing at them, Amber took off her cat costume and ran around naked across town and Stevie went off on his own, getting more and more candy. As soon as we got home, Stevie ate his treats and then his other siblings' treats, telling me he wanted more candy. He also ruined Peter's ghost costume by ripping it into pieces and throwing it in the fireplace. Amber, Stacie and Amanda backed him up in it. So I grounded those four for a week."

Gloria: "He only ruined Halloween and Thanksgiving?"

Brian: "Actually, he ruined other holidays. The four ruined Christmas as well. The four were knocking all the snowmen down at the park. One morning, they ate gingerbread men for breakfast instead of regular breakfast. We went shopping at the mall, and Stevie, Amber, Stacie and Amanda were all shoplifting from every store. They also ruined Peter's Christmas play by holding a bucket of water and Stacie was the one who pulled the rope, dumping the water. On December 20, we went to my parents' house for Christmas. At dinnertime, Stevie spit all the food we served him at my mother's face. Peter brought some plum pudding from the store, and Stacie ate it. Also, Amanda ate one whole pie and threw another at the wall. Amber brought one of her boyfriends over and they causing havoc, by playing the Motley Crue song "Kickstart My Heart" on the stereo, eating some of the food and eating all the desserts. We soon got up on Christmas morning to eat our breakfast and open our presents, Stevie, Amber, Amanda and Stacie all got coal in their stockings, because they were all on the naughty list. They stole everyone's presents. They threw the tree on Peter. They made a huge scene at dinner that night. And on New Year's Eve, Amber went out to spend it with one of her boyfriends, Stevie snuck an alcohol bottle and mixed it with juice, Stacie and Amanda spray-painted one of my friends' vehicles. They also ruined Easter by breaking every egg during the easter egg hunt."

Gloria: "That doesn't look good at all."

Rhonda: "Well, now we gotta find a way to improve Stevie, Amber, Amanda and Stacie's behaviors."

Gloria: "Later that afternoon, Peter and Stevie were playing Battleship, which then they started fighting when Stevie found out Peter was sinking his battleship."

Stevie: "F-6."

Peter: "Missed. A-10."

Stevie: "You sunk it, you little s***!"

[Stevie starts punching Peter and then hits him with a stuffed lion, as Peter starts to scream and cry, Brian then comes upstairs]

Brian: "What is this? Both of you, enough."

Stevie: "He deserved it! He sunk my battleship!"

Brian: "Steven Daniel Beckett, you don't ever hit your brother. Now say you're sorry."

Stevie: "I'm sorry, Peter."

Brian: "That's better."

Parent Meeting
Gloria: "That evening, after Rhonda got home from work, I had a meeting with mom and dad and talked about implementing discipline, house rules, etc."

Gloria: "So I hear that only two of your kids, John and Peter are well-behaved, but Stevie isn't and neither is Amber, Stacie or Amanda."

Brian: "Yeah. In fact that's all that happened for at least a month or more."

Gloria: "I came up with the discipline things, Naughty Swivel, which is for Amber, Naughty Tuffet, which is for Amanda and Stacie and the Naughty Chair is for Stevie."

Rhonda: "That's a good idea."

Naughty Chair
Gloria: "One day, Stevie and his siblings were playing a game of tag."

[The kids are running around during a game of tag]

Gloria: "Suddenly, Stevie pushed his brother Peter into a thorn bush."
