RUPERT'S TOUGH LOVE features America's most lovable Survivor Rupert Boneham. We take 6 at-risk young adults, hand them over to Rupert, and he hands them their tools and forces them to live and work together to re-build a dilapidated inner city home…and their lives.

Rupert's in-your-face style combined with his enormous heart will help these rebels not only survive but triumph over impossible odds to become self-sufficient adults.

Cut off from the outside world, they are first stripped of everything from their old lives, including piercings, cigarettes, gang clothing etc. Life in "the home" isn't easy as they are thrown into a tough regime (no indoor plumbing until they learn how to be a plumber no lights or heat until they learn how to wire for electricity, etc.) "Rupert's Tough Love" makes "Nanny 911" look like kindergarten compared to the life lessons that Rupert is teaching.

In this show for Discovery Health we see if Rupert's intense program turn their lives around, or if they go back to their old ways and end back where they started on the streets.
