Happy Feet
You'd think by now everyone would've heard of them - after all
it's not every day there are eight members of the same family all
competing internationally and representing New Zealand. But the
Groen family tops all the sporting tables with their incredible
performances barefoot waterskiing. This Otaki family is so
passionate about their sport, they even built their own lake... and
then invited the rest of the world to compete against them.
20/20's Sonya Wilson soon discovers though, there can a big
price to pay when the thrills and spills turn serious.

Maybe baby
They look just like the real thing, and when the women who
love them take them out for a stroll, strangers and even friends
are fooled. But these newborns aren't real - they're dolls, albeit
extremely expensive ones, made to look and feel just like the real
thing.
20/20 takes you inside the very private world of
Reborns, the ultimate substitute. You'll meet the women who take
them out shopping, and the husbands who play along, and find out
what makes them tick.
Paying up
For most of us it's the most private thing in the world, the
one thing we won't tell anyone else, other than our nearest and
dearest. But as one financial expert tells
20/20, by keeping
our salary secret from our colleagues, we're only robbing
ourselves. She says if everyone knew what everyone else was
earning, then employers everywhere would be forced to pay a fair
wage. We're in one office prepared to put the theory to the
test!
Mean gene
It's an increasing phenomenon on the internet - children, some
as young as toddlers, captured on tape, being mean to each other,
and sometimes even physically violent - out there for the world's
entertainment. But why are we becoming so mean?
20/20 talks
to teens caught up in horrific bullying incidents, and asks what
can be done to stem the rise and rise of the mean kids?
PLUS $100 Home - As recession-hit neighbourhoods see increasing numbers of homeowners literally abandoning their houses, we meet a group determined to stop the rot. They're buying up abandoned houses for as little as a hundred dollars a pop, and taking on the ultimate extreme home makeover.
The best of New Zealand and international current affairs - 20/20 - presented by Miriama Kamo with reporters Pete Cronshaw, Beth Roche and Sonya Wilson.
