Pampered teens Kyrah, Myles and Keegan were given a rude awakening on Channel 5’s Trading Places.
A Birmingham teenager received a harsh reality check during the most recent episode of Channel 5’s reality programme, Trading Places.
During the broadcast on Sunday, May 31, audiences watched pampered British youngsters – Kyrah, Myles and Keegan – depart the UK and travel to Wyoming to experience the demanding work of cowboy life on a cattle ranch.
For a week, the group would discover the daily routine of the cowboys as they confronted the brutal reality of ranch life in preparation for an eight-mile cattle drive at the end of the week.
Yet, before they even commenced their duties, Kyrah, Myles and Keegan were far from satisfied with their living arrangements, which didn’t appear to concern Kaitlin, who runs the ranch alongside her brother Tucker.
Upon viewing their lodgings for the duration of their stay, Kyrah remarked, “I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in anything as basic as this. There’s no TV!”
As Myles contributed, “My pet peeve is when the double bed is two singles, that is my idea of hell.” Kaitlin responded: “Well, welcome to hell.”
Enquiring why their beds hadn’t been made beforehand, Kaitlin informed the group they would be in charge of their own accommodation. She continued, “I gave you guys clean sheets, but you guys are going to have to put this together.”
While the trio remained disappointed that the accommodation wasn’t already ready for them, Kaitlin reminded them it wasn’t a hotel, and they were there to work like ranch hands. She stated: “You can sleep on an unmade bed, I don’t care, I really don’t.”
Later in the episode, Kaitlin was swift to scold the trio upon taking them to the cattle auction, as Kyrah, Myles and Keegan weren’t thrilled with the outing, reports Birmingham Live.
Before entering the auction, she told them, “I want you to remember, you’re under my name. So, if we do something bad out here, it’s going to look bad on me.”
Issuing her instructions, Kaitlin told them to count how many cattle were coming off the trailer. When they missed one out, she highlighted the importance of accuracy, pointing out it could have resulted in a loss of $3,000.
As they continued counting and being put to work, the group appeared to grow bored with what had been asked of them, which didn’t go down well with Kaitlin.
Myles remarked, “I’m bored with this.” Kyrah agreed, adding, “There’s no stimulation in my brain. I’m just standing there.”
Kaitlin quickly snapped: “You know what we’re going to do? Everybody come stand right here and shut the f**k up. I’m going to see if you guys can stand here and not talk. Literally, stand here in silence, and we’re going to watch, right here. Shut up.”
Before embarking on their journey to America, viewers got to learn a bit more about the trio as Birmingham teenager Kyrah confessed she’s ‘spoiled rotten’ by her parents and is yet to find her purpose.
Meanwhile, 22-year-old Myles, who is also spoiled by his parents, expressed his desire to better himself, while self-confessed mummy’s boy Keegan told viewers he’s ready for something new but is holding himself back.
In the end, the trio successfully completed the eight-mile cattle drive and were praised by the cowboys on the ranch.
