Family Outing

[Edit]
Each episode usually starts with a call from Yoo Jae Suk telling the rest of the family where the next location is. Each member arrives and then is greeted by the episode's guest. Then the guest is given a map and has to navigate to the house that they will be staying in. Once they reach the house, they send off the owners on their vacation and look over the list of chores that was left behind for them to complete. After this, they begin with the first chore. While completing this chore a game is usually played in which the family splits up into two teams. Then after completing the first chore they either go on to the next chore, play another game or go to prepare dinner. When preparing dinner, the family splits up the duties once again. After dinner the sleeping arrangements are chosen. Lee Hyori and Park Yejin rank the guys in the family from 1 to 6 (or 1 to 7) based on how well they perform in the contests that take place. One is always the most desirabe spot. Then the guys rank the girls.

However since the departure of Ye Jin and Chun Hee, there was a change in the evening activities. Instead of the ranking systems, the family is spilt into two teams of which then they compete to be exempt from the early morning chores. Games such as sports, singing competition etc are examples of the early morning competition. Whichever team loses, they have to wake up very early in the morning and complete the task. After completion, the team can go back to sleep.

A couple of hours later, the show's producer wakes up Yoo Jae Suk and gives him the instructions for the morning game. Whoever loses this game, has to make breakfast for the family (along with one or two people of his/her choice). While the loser makes breakfast the rest of the family either goes back to sleep, or completes another chore. After all the chores are finished the owners of the house return and family leaves.
