Kid Nation: The Episodes
meeme:
From what we saw on the show, it looked like Greg deserved the star. The other kids must be doing things we don't get to see. It's too bad, though, that Greg doesn't have the maturity to realize he can get one of the stars given later and not be so bad tempered about it. Also, too bad the council doesn't have the maturity to recognize that hard work should earn the star and they're anti-productive to judge the motive. Saying "he's doing it just to get the star" is pointless. That's what the star is for .. to motivate.
MamaTo4boys:
The thing is, look what Greg did in week 1 - writing on the boards, etc. I personally think that the council was right in what they decided. Michael is always there to speak up (while I don't agree with what he told Taylor he is there). I think that if the gold star is motivation and Greg said himself that he knew he was one in the running then he should just keep doing what he was doing next week. That is motivation.

I wish the star wasn't a weekly thing--but something special that they never knew WHEN it would be awarded. Then we would see more which kids were consistent. I like Greg despite his initial acting up. Remember when he put the hurt kid on the wagon at the beginning? And he tried to comfort Jimmy... And he jumped in this week with both feet. I'll be interested to see if he keeps it up! And yes he is motivated by the money, but he wants it for school.
MamaTo4boys:
He didn't say he wanted it for school. He said that he wanted the money, and could use it now (hes only 14/15) so I dunno.
I do remember him putting the kid on the wagon but he seemed more frustrated then anything that he got hurt and couldn't help. Ya know. Dead weight so to speak? And I think he offered to help Jimmy in a non nice way. He was being mean to everyone, otherwise Jimmy would've accepted but Jimmy acted scared of him.
What happened to Blaine?
I do think that the gold star should be something that is awarded at different times. Or given as a trophy every week and then they didn't find out til the end that it was worth 20,000.00. Kwim?

I'll have to look again--I remembered him saying something about not having any money saved for college...
