The drinking game
New Zealand has a serious drinking problem - just ask your local hospital or your local cop! Are our teenage drinkers out of control? This week 20/20 has a unique view of Kiwi binge drinking - filmed, in fact, by the drinkers themselves. It is an amazing insight into the bloody binge. They are fronting up and 'fessing up in an attempt to save lives - a revealing insight into the true cost of the "Drinking Game".

To marry a murderer
Murder begets suicide - the reality is more dramatic than the reality series he starred in. Good-looking and super rich, Ryan Jenkins found fame and love on TV reality shows - and then murdered his bikini model bride. The crime sickened America. Stuffed in a suitcase, Jasmine Fiore was so badly mutilated she had to be identified from her breast implants. 20/20 reveals the reasons behind the multi-millionaire's murderous intent.

Sugar babies
They are young, ambitious and in the market for "Sugar Daddies". The world might be in a recession, but there is one industry that is booming. Increasing numbers of young women, many still in their teens, are using the internet to hook a wealthy man. Some say it's easy money, even fun, calling it "a mutually beneficial arrangement". Love doesn't even come into it. It's all about the money. On 20/20 - confessions of a "Sugar Baby".

Chappell worship
Lisa Chappell has more than a cult following! The Kiwi actress hit our small screen in Gloss and found international fame on the world's most dangerous farm, McLeod's Daughters. Now she's back, cultivating success on The Cult  New Zealand's newest multi-million dollar psycho drama. We go behind the scenes for a candid and bruising encounter with this hard-ass homecoming queen.

Shopaholic
Close to 200 pairs of shoes, closets full of expensive jeans, stacks of cosmetics and 100 tubes of lip gloss - 32-year-old Nicki's addiction was spinning out of control. For years she committed financial infidelity, lying to her husband and giving the plastic a good thrashing. With nowhere else to turn, Nicki, the wallet hoover, goes to therapy and 20/20's cameras are there to find out if she can break the habit of a lifetime.

The best of New Zealand and international current affairs - 20/20 - presented by Miriama Kamo with reporters Sonya Wilson, Beth Roche and Hugh Hughes.
