I really wanna watch the first episode tonight just to see what its really like. I dunno, I feel bad about that! I guess part of me wants to do it just because im a tomboy and think that as a kid I would've been able to survive on something like that.
I really think that there is "more" to it, then really a bunch of kids living alone in a town. I dunno like I was thinking there are adults just not on camera. Who knows.

Town council of 4 kid's
Each week town council gives one kid a TOP KID award--not sure yet what the advantage is? Oh! Gold Star = $20,000!
Mike (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/kid_nation/bios/mike/) age 11
Anjay (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/kid_nation/bios/anjay/index.shtml) age 12
Taylor (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/kid_nation/bios/taylor/index.shtml) age 10

Now the Town Council have to split into groups (or districts). Blue, yellow, green, and Red.
Anjay is Blue Taylor is Yellow Mike is Red Laurel is Green.

A Showdown!
Pumping water--filling bottles...
The trick?
The winners become the upper class with no assigned jobs and a salary of $1/day
$$ can be spent in the saloon (root beer) or the grocery store--candy, books, general goodies

Heee...I probably should have known! I want to grab all the little ones and give them a cuddle and tuck them in! That 8 year old with the quivering chin really got me *sniff*
And the teenage trouble makers? :rules:
But so far I think I only know 5 or 6 names?

I really liked it. I don't think it was as bad as most reviews said it was going to be. I actually enjoyed no commericials haha! I wonder if that was just a mistake CBS made ???
I wish Michael would've gotten the gold star and not Sophia - and of course did you see the preview for next week? Honestly why did she care about the dishes if shes not the one that has to do them. Hmmm!
GP my 9 year old neice liked it, shes staying with us during fair week and I was hesitant to let her watch it but she really enjoyed it.

Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: Mandoli on September 19, 2007, 08:13:47 PM
The show looks okay to me. I'm sorry to see Jimmy leave during the first Town Council. I know he was the youngest member of the "town", he made it through a couple of days on his own. So I have to applaud that act of courage. If a child wanted to go home, they were allowed to do that instead of having to suck it up throughout the course of the adventure. I'm glad that they had that option.
The reward between the outhouses and television? I would have taken the outhouses as well. I think that the outhouses would have been more beneficial than the television, and I think that the kids thought that was the case as well.
Overall, a good show.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: TheCinera on September 19, 2007, 08:14:12 PM
I can't wait to start hearing more critics reviews on this. Pre-show, it was split 50-50 over whether this show was good or bad. Now, with it premiered, I have a feeling I'll be reading some good news about it.
Also, can't wait to see the ratings for tonight. Should be interesting.

I agree TheCinera I know I was allll confused when I saw the previews, wondering how anyone could come up with that. I mean adults yeah, but kids might have problems being away from their family (as we saw).

I'm really, really glad that they chose not to have evictions or eliminations but instead let the kids decide if they were ready to go home.
And I am ready to vote for Michael for Secretary of the UN--what a diplomat!
Overall: not the most exciting or action packed show I have ever seen--but they have me curious to see what happens next and I guess that is the sign of a good premiere.
But forget it when they cry--I'm mush! :lol:

Post by: MamaTo4boys on September 19, 2007, 08:26:44 PM
Im surprised they didn't have some kind of animal to pull those wagons but I think the kids did ok doing it. And even those bratty older ones helped out the younger ones when it came to that!
I honestly kinda think that if those kids didn't want to do it, they wouldn't. Kwim? I liked the phone call thing and think that they will work even harder to try and get the gold star. As long as my neices Taylor stays on the coucil I know she will watch the show :lol3:

I MISSED IT :dick. I have been waiting for so long to watch it and then forgot to record it. I was at Carissa's open house for school and couldn't call home to have it taped. Bill was watching a baseball game and forgot about it until it was almost over. Thursdays are really busy after school with religious ed, football and soccer so I hope to watch it with the kids tomorrow night on the CBS website. I will have the kids including Billy who is 14 give their thoughts on it.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: Kilarney on September 20, 2007, 07:32:10 AM
It was entertaining, but I still cringed. What kind of parents would send kids this young to do a television show for 40 days? I also don't think it's healthy to put kids in this type of environment. I can't really explain why, but I just get the feeling that the producers are hoping for "Lord of the Flies" moments.
I'll continue watching, though. I actually find myself rooting for some of those kids.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes

Billy already loved the bios. He couldn't stop laughing about the kid with the big tooth who had read Al Gore's book on Global Warming. He loved one of the older kids that just used one word answers for his questions. He just feels as do I the majority of the kids are just answering the questions based on the views of their parents.

Post by: Jusalurker on September 20, 2007, 09:24:15 AM
My daughter (7) watched the beginning and did'nt have much to say, except "Is this show like Survivor?" Can you tell I watch Survivor? :yess:
Asking questions about where they were located, and how hard it was back in the old days.. ?
When it came to the challenge, she rooted for everyone. She spoke of everyone having to work together as a team. She wanted everyone to finish.
We had a discussion about the division of the kids and the amount of money they would recieve for their "jobs".
She picked outhouses, having been to girl scout camp and campouts, she said a girl "has" to have her privacy...LOL
She watched in amazement as one group cooked breakfast and commented that they should get more money.. I found that amusing!
Then she was totally amazed at the Merchants store.. "Wow.. look at all that cool stuff". She said when they get hungry for a snack they could go over and get what ever they wanted.
Until I explained alittle about how much things cost and how much money each person made.. Then she was not so excited.. She said they could sell something to make more money, "like you do on ebay".
At which point the one girl who wanted the $3.00 Bike and started her entertainment on the street.. I worried when my girl said, "see mom , she is smart. Making extra money for the bike. panhandling came to my mind ???
She felt sad for the little guy who left and empathized with him about missing his family. She mentioned that he might want to go to camp next summer and see how that worked out.. sometimes she makes me laugh with her "wisdom"
She did not have the comprehension of 20,000 dollars, but thought the star was cool. She aligned the winner with a MOM, heading up the group.
Over all we loved the show, and it brought up insightful questions and speculations.
Child abuse.. I don't think so.. Most of these children were savvy, smart, articulate, and inventive. Child entertainers and competitors are not something new. Its been going on for centuries and one can only hope there are good parents, managers, and role models for these children.
My 2 cents
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: georgiapeach on September 20, 2007, 11:46:10 AM
Thanks Jusalurker :dancer: for sharing your daughter's viewpoint--she sounds very perceptive!
I think that it would be so nice to have a show like this to watch as a family with your children and be able to discuss the issues that come up together.
I'm already trying to think whose 7-10 year old I can "borrow" for next week's show! Sadly, my niece is too young...
And Blondie--I hereby nominate you for all the KN screencaps from here on out--those are beautiful pictures! :thankyou:
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on September 20, 2007, 01:45:09 PM
I agree with Jusalurker. I think its a good kids show to teach kids things. My neice was freaking out about the hardest workers only getting 10 cents. LOL! She was sad for them haha! When they did the "task" so to speak she was cheering each team on and was talking about teamwork.
I loved the little girl that gave Sophia money to move farther from her store :lol3: That really is something that would've happened back then I think.

great quote from tvweek
Quote
The first episode of "Kid Nation" did feature kids crying, falling down, bullying each other, dithering about whether to opt for multiple outhouses or a big-screen TV, cooking biscuits from scratch and arguing among themselves. A few of the tykes were homesick. But only one eight-year-old, Jimmy, opted to leave the show near the end of the Wednesday's episode. Meaning next week, there's still 39 kids left to fight, cry and complain.

I hope Michael gets a gold star, that kid is smart lol.
Honestly, im a mom of 3 young ones but my neices are older and they fight, complain, cry. I think those kids were frustrated as most kids are ???
My favorite quote "I don't do dishes, im a beauty queen" :lol3:
Will there be new comps each week (like for who is upper class, merchants, cooks and laborers)? I think it would be wrong if they all had to do the same thing each week.

Sophias mom makes a good point in that interview.

You know quite frankly…I have two other children, two dogs, three cats. I don’t have a safety inspector sitting in my kitchen, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a medic, a dietician, you know. I don’t have these people in my own household.
I guess those people were there for them. Thats a whole lot of people.
In that same transcript from the Ellen show someone mentioned that the producer called the parents every three days to update on their kids ???

I think that since that have started the idea of a Showdown that they are bound to do something with that every week--to switch things up?
Honestly though that was one of the few things I did NOT like--and all of them were more related to Producer involvement/interference.
The splitting up into "Districts" aka teams I understand, and apparently the kids had input into who went where.
But I did not like the artificial caste system and I especially didn't like that that came from production. I would have much rather seen the kids work out for themselves who would do what on a week to week system of some sort.
And the gold star was fine--she seemed so touched to be chosen. But I wish that the $$ aspect had been left out --and have the kids working solely for peer recognition and the joy of achievement. Sure there would have been some who don't work (think Survivor! :lol3:) but I would have liked to have seen how the kids handled that. I think the $$ will change the motivation some and that disappoints me. So far I have liked everything with the kids alone--my only quibbles seem to be regarding too much Production interference or organization.

Post by: MamaTo4boys on September 20, 2007, 04:28:52 PM
I think they were trying to use that money for motivation, but since its kids why not give them a schlorship or like you said "JUST" a gold star? Like how a trophy is suppose to be.
I honestly can't wait to see what happens with this next week, I did enjoy the first episode and am curious to how it will all play out!
Didn't they have a sheriff on the previews? I was mad at Greg and Blaine (that is his friend right) using the chalk on everything :rolleyes:
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on September 20, 2007, 04:30:43 PM

Post by: georgiapeach on September 20, 2007, 04:34:04 PM
Didn't they say something last night about having a surprise for every child at the end? I smell college scholarships!
And if the kids helped form the teams--I'll bet they immediately broke up along ages...
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on September 20, 2007, 04:45:46 PM
Yeah I do think every kid will get a schlorship ;)
Pretty much its broken up by council members age. Laurel seemed to have taken all the older kids and 11 and 12 year olds. I forget how the boys picked (I know Mike - red team did try to keep the older two boys together so he said he took most of the "friends" as to not break them up). And I know Taylor mostly has all the younger kids. But I guess thats what she felt comfortable with. I just thought CBS would've been more into making it 'fair'. I mean honestly the older kids clearly can do more heavy liftin and such.

I guess people could compare this to camps for kids during the summer. I know of camps where they are taught to build a fire, cook on the fire, sleep on the ground, etc. Its the same thing. It really helps me knowing there ARE adults there. To me it is just like camp. And yes I knwo kids that go to camp and cry and complain about it.

More ratings:
CBS's controversial "Kid Nation," Fox's Kelsey Grammer sitcom "Back to You" and Fox's reality makeover series "Kitchen Nightmares" all earned a 3.1 rating among adults 18 to 49.
The figures are based on the national Nielsen ratings, which bumped up "Kid Nation" a notch since this morning's preliminary tallies. A 3.1 rating is considered a gray-area premiere figure, neither impressive nor embarrassing, particularly for reality shows.
For CBS, the rating means "Kid Nation" won the 8 p.m. hour.

I remember during season 5 of the Amazing Race they showed it during the week and also on Saturday nights. Maybe they will do that for Kid Nation until it gets a following. I know it is hard for me right now to watch TV before 9pm. The girls still have practice until 7:30(getting dark though) or play practice so by the time we get home they eat,do homework or shower.

Peach - You would have got a kick out of watching the show with us. Carissa wanted go after several of the kids for being so stupid then she said she would probably be the only one who would get kicked off for violence. She also wanted to know why they would pass up a TV when they can just crap behind a tree. :groan:
Kelley of course loved every part of it and would have chosen the outhouses. She is the peacemaker and entertainer in my family.
Billy had to leave to go play Man Hunt so he said to tape it so he could make fun of all of the kids. He said the show was stupid but was worth a few laughs.
The girls felt there were too many cry babies on the show where as Billy said you need the babies to make fun of.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: georgiapeach on September 22, 2007, 08:51:55 PM
Carissa cracks me up!
And good for Kelley--I think next week when they go after the chickens that they will need a peacemaker!
I have no idea what Man Hunt is--but I think I'd like to play! :lol3:
What did they really like and not like? Did they think it looked fun or scary?
What in particular did they think about the whole "caste" system where you are paid and have staus based on your job in the town because that part bothered me?? Or did they even notice?
Did they think Sophia was doing a good job or too bossy?? Did they think Jimmy was right to go home or should he have stuck it out??
See--I would have LOVED to watch it with y'all!
If they want--send 'em in to talk about it! Or is that too much like homework?? B:) :lol:

Kid Nation Rocks.
I would like to be there as a support for the kids. I am a 3rd grade teacher and this would be a true hands on learning experience for my students. This is what school should be like. It would give students the opportunity to learn how to work as a team and overcome challenges.
Those kids cook better than I do. I am impressed.
Gerry cracked me up.
In no way did I ever think the show was negative. I can't wait for this weeks episode.
I worked at a Summer Camp as a Ranger Counselor and I taught children how to survive in the woods for a 3 week period of time. I cook better on an open fire and can cook a mean dutch over meal. I don't cook well on a stove. LOL. Watching the show reminds me of my experiences with my campers and the love of team work. I am going to do some research and find out if they do the show again could I join in on the fun!!!!

Kelley like-Liked how the kids could chose if they wanted to go home, Could use the golden star money for whatever you wanted Carissa like-How you could win a gold star,buy stuff in your town, B:) B:) B:)
Kelley didn't like-She loved everything except that they would show a kids age with their name on the TV but then the kid would say he was a year older. Like when the kids went hunting for the rabbit with Jimmy the showed a kid as being 9 butt then he said he was 10. They did this a few times. Carissa didn't like - How you got paid before you did your job, how everyone was yelling about killing a chicken, how the kids got mad about the chalk because it was kind of funny I thought,how everyone was complaining about the thin mattresses since they were lucky they got one, why would a kid want to go home when it is one in a billion chance to go on, mike was a brat and could dish it out but couldn't take it, how everyone was complaining they only had one outhouse - Just go behind a dune or something,didn't get to meet enough of the kids only the cry baby ones this time. A lot of the kids were acting stupid B:) B:) B:)
Both Kelley and Carissa thought it looked fun

What in particular did they think about the whole "caste" system where you are paid and have staus based on your job in the town because that part bothered me?? Or did they even notice?
Carissa - They should have been able to pick a council as a group not be given one. Everyone should get paid the same amount for the jobs they do after the challenge they should get extra money or some kind of reward on how well they did in the challenge. I did like how the challenge chose what jobs they would have though Kelley - liked it the way it was because in the real world we all make different kinds of money based on what jobs we have

Did they think Sophia was doing a good job or too bossy?? Did they think Jimmy was right to go home or should he have stuck it out??

Uh-oh Carissa...Based on the preview I think that that chicken provides all the drama next week! I know that in your season of TAR it took me a few episodes to learn everyone's names--and I guess it will be the same here! I would have liked to have seen more of the farm kids with the animals though, and the way the kids started to make friends with everyone instead of the whiners.

I have very mixed feelings about taking kids out of the country who are under 12 years of age. In fact I think 10 is probably the youngest I would even cast for a show like this.
I would think they have already cast season 2. Maybe the application is still up in case some wonder kid sends in his application at the last minute.

Haha Rob!
Blue Team - Upper Class (may have these two first ones mixed up haha) Red Team - Merchants Yellow Team - Cooks, again. Green Team - Labor again.
I don't think that what Taylor was "doing" was right but I do think ALOT of it has to do with her age and the age of her group. Which yes was her choice but there are no older ones to lead them. I also feel like the green team is being bitter towards yellow cause a bunch of young'uns kicked their butts :lol3:
I also think that Sophie (or whatever her name is lol) needs to just lay low. Shes 14 and picking on a 9 year old :rolleyes: Shes soooooooooooo freaking bossy. Im 24 and she gets on MY nerves. Haha!
Oh, and im also glad that Michael got the gold star and not Greg. Yes if that were me Greg deserved it this week killing the chickens for them. But I also think that he would've been back to himself the next week! And we saw Michael say he was doing it for the community (so sweet about the $ for his parents).

I don't understand the big deal of her being in the coop though with the chickens. Only upperclass and cooks can be in there. Its not like its going to HURT anything. Im talking about the second time (after the first two chickens were killed) when she went in there!
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: banredbeans on September 26, 2007, 09:03:40 PM
The chickens bothered me. I can see them killing the chickens for meat if they were starving and it was their idea. For the producers to have them kill the chickens for drama is not right. Those poor little kids having to watch that was mean. My poor daughter Kelley was crying and she is pretty tough for a 9 year old.

Taylor's "district" doesn't want to do the dishes after the meals? She's got such an attitude problem. My safest deduction was that she would have just gone home with Jimmy in the first episode. She could have used that beauty queen-esque attitude elsewhere! Bonanza City would not be the place for stuck-up kids like her. I know they're the youngest group of kids, but they need to pitch in just as much as the rest of the kids are.

Hi meeme!
:welcome2: to the forum!
I expect that Production knew from the council who had been chosen in time to get the camera to the Mom...
And you know, I wasn't impressed with Greg at first but he has won me over. Regardless of his motivation, he has worked hard, looked after the little ones, and more than pulled his weight around camp. He is trying, don't you think?
We put a link to the application upstream--and oh my--such difficult questions for kids!
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on September 26, 2007, 11:06:04 PM
I do think that Taylor has an attitude but go back to the first episode, they were really TRYING to cook, hadn't eaten themselves and Sophie (or is it Sofia, ahhh) was being a bossy britches THEN. So why would they want to do it again just to get yelled at by her.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: Mandoli on September 27, 2007, 12:39:52 AM
And now they show her sitting around while kids from the Green and Blue "districts" are doing the dishes for the Yellow "district". Sure, they're young kids. But they have cookbooks there? If they do, why didn't they use them and try to do it so that nobody starves and has to cut some chickens again!?!
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on September 27, 2007, 03:08:27 AM
I really believe that Taylor didn't wanna do it because she was cold. The blue district even though they are upper class are suppose to help out where they can. Yet the only reason Greg did anything was for the gold star. If Sophie would've kept her mouth shut then I think that the yellow team would at least try and put forth effort this week. Come on, she complained about them not cleaning dishes when they were eating. Thats totally not right. Shes 14, get over it already!
And honestly I know I for one would not let my 9 year old niece use a knife, especially a knife as sharp to cut that chicken. So I disagree there with them cutting the chickens.
At least Taylor is one of the council members who speaks up. It makes me laugh that everyone (Greg, Sophie, Michael - which notice they are all older??? ) want to replace her but that blue district kid hardly says a word. And all Laurel does is complain, and all the red teams leader does is whine.

There are still so many kids we haven't met yet. I keep seeing kids we have never been introduced to yet. I can see where people had a hard time with our season of TAR now getting to know 40 people.
I think Greg deserved the star. They all are motivated by that star now which is a shame.

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.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on September 30, 2007, 10:07:48 AM
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.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: georgiapeach on September 30, 2007, 11:12:53 AM
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.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on October 01, 2007, 01:54:02 AM
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 rewatched the show with my 10 year old grand. He is loving the show. When Taylor said that they were just going to have to starve :lol: he said that she should not be on the counsel. He said that a leader would not let everyone starve.
As far as killing the chickens, he said that if they were hungry, why not kill a couple of chickens. He thought they made a wise choice, so they could have a good meal. When they showed the food (stew) he said, mmmmm they did a good job, it looks awesome. :lol3:
When he saw them cleaning the outhouses, he said " They have to clean the outhouses!", I said they have to clean everything, dishes, laundry, there are no adults to do it for them. He said " Boy, they are going to learn a lot of things there".
He can not wait now for the next show. He said if Taylor did not start doing anything, then she should just go home. He could not figure out the dishwasher comment. :lol: He said what is the big deal about not having a dishwasher? :lol3:
He thinks Greg is a little big compared to all of the other kids, but wanted him to win the gold star, for killing the chickens for them and doing the crusty dishes the yellow team left outside on the ground.
When Greg said, I need the gold star. I have no money put away for college, he said, "See grandma he needs that star". A little disappointed he did not get it, but was also glad for Michael, he was his second choice. He said that Michael would not let them starve, he should take Taylors place on the counsel. He also said that Michael should grow up and run for president. :lol3:
All in all, he thinks the kids are really doing a good job running the town and doing all of the chores, and wants to go there himself! :o

Kid Nation was filmed at the dusty old Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe New Mexico. The ranch was briefly made famous back in 1980 when "Legend of the Lone Ranger" shot there. The terrain is full of hills, prairies, ponds, culverts, corrals, and a wide variety of props that can be rented. Off and on over the years, there have been various movies, videos, commercials, and catalog shoots at the ranch, but nothing like the buzz Kid Nation is creating.

I'm getting sick of Taylor's "I'm a beauty queen, and I don't have to do anything if I don't have to do it" routine. I think she needs to get her act together, or she's going to ask to go home one of these days. The Yellow District needs to find another person who can go and help out the kids instead of sitting around and doing nothing. I know her District won the Showdown, but Taylor just needs to stop playing the Queen card and start helping all of the kids out.

For the first time last night I became worried about the kid's safety when they allowed that boy to get that close to the cow(bull?) Animals are so unpredictable and if that cow decided to charge the boy production could not get there fast enough to save him. Cows can kill people by accident when they get freaked like that.

I totally agree Tammy--that scared the dickens out of me. I immediately thought of tramplings and gorings when I saw that.
I also would have liked to have seen the kids hunkered down inside AWAY from glass windows during that storm--and not wandering around outside looking at outhouses during the storm.
But according to this clip--Colton is very used to cows and bulls!

An older farmer in the next town had a bull for over 10 years he raised as a calf. The bull got spooked by something and ended up killing the guy. I grew up around big animals and you always have to be careful the littlest things like a bug not to mention cameras and microphones on long poles coming at you. They should have had the kids keep clear of the windows also

??? Do they have stunt bulls in hollywood? Maybe they were planted there by producers. Even so, bulls, stunt bulls or not, I think can get crazy, any animal can attack. They do have an animal expert on site though. ???
Colton does know about steer riding, it seems his whole family does this and rodeos.
As far as the dust storm, they (production) probably knew how bad it was going to get. They have to have access to weather reports, but sometimes dusts storms come up very quickly. Wish we knew more from production member views on these subjects.

I forgot to add the bull didn't mean to kill the man at all it was an accident. It was very sad because the bull tried to protect the farmer and wouldn't let anyone near him and kept trying to nudge him to get him up. They ended up having to shoot the bull it was so sad. :'(

But stunt bull or no stunt bull--that thing had some HORNS! I know at the running of the bulls in Pamplona every year there are always gorings.
Go check out the darling chop of Colton in the Children's Corner though--yay blondie!

Hi everyone, My grandson just watched last nights show. :lol3: He is really sick of Taylor. He said that she should not get any food for one day and that they should have a jail and lock her up! :lol3:
When she brought out the pan of potatoes, and handed it out to them without plates he said, she just didn't want to do the dishes. :lol: When she told the red team that they were doing okay, but needed to scrub harder so her butt was shiny, I thought he was going to go crazy. He said the yellow team had not had to work yet. He was hoping that they would lose the challenge.
He thought Colton was just crazy to chase the bull, :o said he could have gotten really hurt, even though he knew he was in rodeo's, he said that the bull could have killed him. He thought that Colton should have gotten the gold star though, because he did so good in the challenge. Got all three cards for the yellow team. :tup:
He did say that Greg was wrong though. That Mallory did not just get the star because it was her birthday. He said she was really good at the store and did not stay up all night and tried to clean up the flour mess.
He said that Greg was not who he thought he was. Said he was really bad for saying bad words in front of the little kids. Said that he thought he was just a sore loser, that there were some kids at his school that act that way when they don't win at things.
About the dust storm, he said that they should have gotten into a corner in case the windows broke! I gave him a lot of credit for that one and told him that was good thinking. :yess:
Laughed outloud at the challenge with the sheep. One time he said "look at chicken girl, she is just standing there. :lol:
All in all, he said that the show was good, thought the party was cool though. Wasn't too sure about the curfew, but thought 930 was a good time.

I fell asleep and only got to watch the ending. Im glad that one of the younger kids got the gold star, and im glad that they took 'noms' for them. I do think that alot of the physical things get noticed before the "mental" things which makes the town work as well!!! I don't agree with Greg that she got it just cause it was her birthday!
As for the cow, I only saw it in the preview (dang nap lol) but I did think that Colton? knew what he was doing. The worst thing that you can do in that situation is run from the cow. As for the horns, yes they are scary but I bet ya that they have cut off the tips so they are not sharp ;) I know that doesn't make it better or safer. Been there, have a scar to prove it :lol:
I don't understand why the laborers have to do the laundry, I mean I always thought even back in those days everyone still did their own (like familys). ???
Do they still play this show on Saturdays? Anyone know. I can't watch it again online cause I have dial up. I live too far out in the boondocks for real internet :lol3:

This is the leaderboard from the official website and I'm still wondering why the green team is lagging behind. They have Sophia, Michael, & Morgan who are hard workers. Sophia & Michael won some golden stars. Laurel is a good leader. And I see they have 3 strong guys too. That's Campbell, Hunter, & Kennedy. What went wrong?

Banzai, I think the green team are just not working well as a "team" yet. They also have been the ones that are doing most of the work thus far. Maybe they are just more tuckered out than the rest. ??? I think the green do like to cook though. I bet they eat a lot better this round! :lol:
I also bet Taylor is one of the first in line this week for her food :lol3:

Not being mean but for the green team, I think alot of their problem could be too many leaders. Michael is always standing up and speaking out (which is good but you know), Laurel is there leading and Sophia is just plain bossy imo.

If there's a re-election, I would like to see Sophia vs Laurel for the green team, blue has to be Greg vs Anjay, yellow: Zach vs Taylor. For the red team, we don't know anything about the other kids so I guess Mike will win the re-election.

"Bless Us and Keep Us Safe" - Religious differences and Pioneer ire come to light when the Town Council suggests one religious ceremony to accommodate all faiths in Bonanza City, on KID NATION, Wednesday, Oct. 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

But that means that Taylor's group become the cooks. And at the rate they're going, they should just hand the job over to a group that will do all of the cooking. You had Taylor and another blonde hair girl just sitting in the saloon, drinking root beer shots... All while an angry mob is forming. I believe it will be Taylor getting bucked from the Council next week.
Morgan deserved the Gold Star this week. If the kids want to do a religious service, then that's fine. But they shouldn't have been forced to take part in one like the Council originally had planned. That would have been a bad choice to force something upon them. The Showdown reward choice was a good choice as well. It would have given the kids a good opportunity to get in touch with their Gods instead of slack off on the job.
I can't wait until the next episode! Here's to Taylor (possibly) getting the boot from the Council! :jam:
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes

I felt bad for Campbell, and Morgan was so sweet for holding him like that. They were right on how she acts like the "mommy".
Green is getting on my nerves so bad. Haha!
And while Taylor has even gotten on my nerves and I really did like her I am getting so tired of them jumping down her throat. Yes its her job to lead, I get that but omg they are so mean to her. And shes mean right back I won't disagree but does it really need 4 people in her face?
Technically this week Taylor did not have to do anything. They were upperclass and correct me if im wrong but isn't that what upperclass did back then?
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes

Who do ya'll think will get elected?
This is my prediction.
Blue: Greg? Or Mallory.
Green: Hopefully Morgan or Michael. Hopefully just not Sophia. She may be a leader but shes way too bossy.
Red: Im not really sure? I just hope not Mike cause im tired of his "SHUTTUP EVERYBODY" :lol3:
Yellow: Zach

I would see why Taylor doesn't have to do all of the hard work and such when she's in the Upper tier, but when she's in the kitchen, she should try to be a role model for the younger kids and do the work given to her. Root beer shots is not showing respect to the rest of the town when there's a ton of dirty dishes that need to be cleaned. And this is the third week out of four for them being in there, so why can't she just lose the attitude and do the work like she's supposed to?
The other kids were just sick and fed up with her kicking back and doing nothing when she has a job to do. Perhaps yelling in her face wasn't the smartest thing to do. I think they could have handled it a little better by asking her if she could go to the kitchen and some of the clean the dishes. If she can do some of the dishes, then it's better than none.

Last night's episode was pretty good. My kids kept screaming to pick the mini golf. I still don't know where they got these kids. I have taught religious ed. for the past 8 years and I know for a fact kids would rather be having fun than reading the bible. I don't think I have ever heard my kids say "I can't wait to go to church" or "let's read the bible as a family" and we go to church every week. I know as a kid I didn't like going to church or having to go to religious ed until I was 18.
I loved the fact some of the kids wanted to check out each other's religions. My kids have been to Hindu cremations, Buddist celebrations, Jewish Barmitzvahs and love learning about other religions.
It was funny how some of the kids didn't realize that they were under the Protestant catagory too.

:pull They have already tried to just ask Taylor to go to the kitchen and do some dishes. She told them they would all have to just starve! And her answer to the dishes, " pageant queens don't do dishes!" When she threatened her own team and said if they did not shut up, that they would be scrubbing toilets with the green team, that was just uncalled for. She is dishing all of this disrespect out, and then thinks they should all kiss her beauty queen butt. I do hope they put her out of the counsel next week. She is failing herself and the town.
As far as her being in the upper class last week, The other groups of kids who were in the upper class position seemed to be doing a lot of stuff to help out. Taylor, it's not just that she didn't do anything, but when she made fun of the laborers? MY BUTT IS NOT SHINY ENOUGH! :groan: I am waiting for her to pull a Daniele and start whining next week, It's not faaaaiiiiirrrr! I want to be on the cooouuunnsseell...... :groan:
Morgan was really great last night, they gave the star to the right one. I really liked the conversation at the beginning between Sophia and Morgan about why they were put on this earth. When Morgan and Sophia were talking about God, I think Morgan handled the conversation very well. I also liked Sophia telling her that she should not be down, that she was the most liked person there. I thought her concern and just plain love for the little ones shown and her consoling when Cody left was very commendable. :jam:
Zack chasing Blaine to get him to do dishes, Blaines face, PRICELESS :lol3:
Poor Green team, I don't know why they keep losing. They have won three, out of the four gold stars, so far. I really wanted to see them win over yellow. Even if yellow does become the laborers, you won't see Taylor doing anything then either, so I guess it doesn't really matter. :groan:
In real life, you don't get paid if you do not work, maybe they should not pay the ones who are not doing any work at all ??? Even in 1885 you had to work for your money. Nobody likes a slacker.
Olivia!! I don't think her remark that she knew what she believed and did not want to hear about anyone elses view on religion was not very christianlike. You can listen to others beliefs, that doesn't mean that you have to change your own religious beliefs. I think it made some of the kids, kinda hurt that she said that. I thought she should have been there, (was she?) when they were comparing the bibles of some of the different religions. I thought it was so enlightening that some were surprised and kind of relieved that they said pretty much of the same thing in the first chapter. I think they learned a really good lesson when they did this.
Morgan got a lot of them together, for those who wanted to have a service of sort, not forcing them to do something religious if they did not want to. By Morgan stating it the way she did, she got a group of diverse kids together, no matter what they believed in. There is a big difference saying, only if you want to, not that you have to. :yess:
I was annoyed at the group of kids who kept interrupting Anjay and then mimed his actions. They would not have wanted anyone to do that to them. I thought it was very disrespectful, but yes disrespectful Taylor was right there in it.
Jared.... making his own golf game was brilliant. :yess: That is what kids in 1885 had to do anyway, make up games. They did not have balls and clubs back then, and for him to make his own was great. The meditation was also soooo cute. :lol:
I will let you know what my grand says later after we watch it.
Also has anyone noticed how this thing is being edited? I rewatched the eps yesterday, and in the first eps, Sophia has the purse that she bought in a later episode with her when she danced in the street for the bike.

Not looking so hot in the hour is CBS' "Kid Nation" (2.0/6 in 18-49, 7.0 million viewers overall), which has seen consistent declines since its Sept. 19 premiere and finished fifth in its time period among young adults.

That's okay, I will still continue to watch and see what the kids learn next. :waves:
My grandson said he did not know about a lot of different religions and thought it was great that they did finally all get together to pray. He said it doesn't matter what you believe, it was them all getting together that was good.
He could not understand the first part where the boys were eating breakfast and fighting about the different religions. He finally said "that's racist against other peoples beliefs" :o
About Taylor and her smart self, he just simply said " she's not right in the head or something" :lol3:
He laughed at Colby and the girlfriend thing, said he could not believe that he would just want to go home to see a girl. :lol3:
He commented that he thought Morgan did right, that she told people to come only if they wanted to. He said that he thought that was why nobody went with the counsel, because they told them that they had to do it. :yess:
He was rooting for the green team to win the challenge. Could not believe that yellow was the cooks again, said they were going to starve out there. :lol:
He likes Jared, says he is funny. He also commented "Greg is doing a lot better", but thought Zack or Morgan should get the star.
When Olivia was talking he just said that she should not put down others for not being the same as she was. He goes to church every Sunday and he said that nobody should put down somebody else for going to their own church. Thought it was "cool" that the holy books were closely the same.
He loves golf, so when he saw the golf clubs and balls, he said he would pick the golf, but after they showed all of them reading all of the different books, he said they made the right choice because they were all learning about each other and stuff.
He always wants to know if I know what the next one will be about. When I told him that they were going to have an election for new counsel members, he said, :yess: Taylor is out of there. :lol3:

Heading in the other direction was CBS' "Kid Nation" (2.1/6 in 18-49, 6.91m), which finished fifth in the time period among young adults. With "Jericho" on the bench for midseason, the Eye must at least be considering a shift that would return the back-from-the-dead drama to its old timeslot.

Mama, I felt bad at first for Taylor too. It was all new to all of them. I also thought that week one, Sophia jumped the gun a little bit there.
I thought Taylor would do better, but when she said that they were not cleaning the toilets good enough, that her butt was not shiny enough yet, when she was on the upper class week three, and was telling her own team to shut up or they would be cleaning the toilets with the green team :groan: I could not believe it.
If she would just try and not sit around all day doing nothing, when she should be at least helping to cook and do dishes, (she is getting that pay) I think the other kids would lay off of her. She is only ten, but the way she laughs at them, when they tell her she is not doing her job, well kids will be kids, and tell her what they think. On the other hand, if we adults see a political leader, not doing their job, we reelect as soon as we can also. You have to admit, the dishes are just discusting laying all over the place.
That is a lot of dishes to do, for a bunch of little kids. I wish I could suggest to them to have dishwater ready, and everybody wash their own plate and utensils, then the cooks would only have to do the cooking utensils and clean up the kitchen.

Im 24 and a mom to three but even I can't stand doing pots and pans. Or dishes for that matter lol. :pull
I do think that Taylor felt unappreciated in week 1 when Sophia was being a total boss cat. But I dunno! I know Taylor is doing wrong right now, and sometimes I see her jokes as something the other kids take serious, kwim? I couldn't believe she said that about them cleaning toilets either, but I also think the older kids on the green team have said things that they shouldn't have (thats my opinion - about kicking the yellow kids' butts, I don't think its so they have to be laborers that they try to make it out to be, I think its pure jealousy that the little kids are beating them).

I liked Olivia two weeks ago when she wanted to let the Council know how her sister was doing so much for such a young person. But in the last two weeks, my God. She's being an absolute whiner. (Not as much as Taylor, thank you. But she whines in her own state of mind.) We know you have a beef with Anjay. Why the hell is this girl trying to bug the hell out of him at every second she gets?

I liked this episode a lot better too. Hopefully, with Mike gone the kids can get a "real" reward. I'm sure the kids were able to bring toothbrushes with them - give me a break!!!!!!
Olivia has always seemed kind of mean. I still remember that mean Doctor Phil comment she made in the previews.
Taylor is just immature but seems like a nice girl. The kids(laugh at her comments) and the story writers can probably easily get her to say those type of drama queen responses they just love.
I didn't like when Kelsev made that comment about President Bush being dumb. Kids should be taught to respect figures of authority especially the President of The United States. I don't care if you like the President or not his position should be respected. Parents need to be careful what they say around their kids because they just repeat things not knowing the truth half the time :dick As a kid I was taught to respect adults and always refer to them by their last name. I teach these same values to my children and it bothers me when adults tell my kids to call them by their first name. I don't mind if it is a friend or coach and they are refered to as Coach Ken or Auntie B :-* that still shows a sign of respect.

I especially liked how Laurel's District went with the whole electorial process. They talked it over first, trying to see if anyone wanted to run against her. When everyone said that they liked the job Laurel was doing, they agreed to keep her in the seat. I thought that was the best way to handle a situation like that... At least they sat together and discussed what they thought should happen.
With the gold star thing: Has anyone noticed that all of the stars have gone to Green and Blue? I'm surprised that nobody on Red or Yellow wants the star bad enough. I would hope that they'll try to step up more and at least be in consideration for one. (I mean, with the exception of Zach, I believe it was).

Between the two choices this week, I wouldn't have gone and picked the motorbikes either. I mean, I wouldn't want to have the slackers ride around the city all day. They wouldn't be getting paid if it was all they did. I'm so glad that they pick the right choices. At the rate they're going, they might not pick one of the distraction choices. *nods*
And guess what? Taylor doesn't like to be told what to do. "They're not the boss of me." Right... Go ahead and sit around. I hope you don't get paid. At least your beauty queen friend had the smarts to admit she wasn't doing the right thing by leaving her "chore" and helping out in the end.

So sorry I missed this Tammy! My service went out last week and I am just catching up!
Tell Carissa I said a big thank you for that! What was it they gave up for toothbrushes? Was that the miniature golf because that one looked awesome!
I might have have taken the fruit-but doggone it--I WANTED that miniature golf! :rotf:

I'm going to disagree with you guys here. I think they have have found an incredible group of kids. We haven't met so many of them which is very sad. But aside from the ones which were clearly chosen for their ability to create TV hilarity (Taylor anyone?), I think that the mix is excellent. And I'd be willing to put some of those clear cut leaders into power today. While I am having fun laughing with/at a very few of the kids, for the most part I think that this is a group that has done a great job and would make their parents very proud. Now the show producers on the other hand.....
Let's see--we have already covered politics, religion, money.....I'm afraid to think what might be coming up next! :lol:

I was able to watch this week (I haven't for a couple weeks now lol). These kids don't mess around when they get mad at the council do they? :lol3: Why was Laurel so surprised someone would run against her?
Greg made me cry when he carried whoever to bed, and Blaine made me cry again when he got the gold star (although I think it would've been cool for the other boy to get one to, hopefully next week).

I wasn't expecting to see Randi go. Taylor (who's been like a mouse in the past few episodes now) finally expressed her opinion since the day she left the Council.
I was caught up with hockey that night, so if I don't understand the concept behind the switch, just let me know. It appeared as though one or two kids were moved around from each District. I remember Nathan and Blaine being on another District, but I can't remember who the other kids were.

Pioneer, Sophia, and the newest gold star Pioneer, Blaine, share the same last name: Wise. They both live in Florida and, according to the "Kid Nation" Web site, they are the same age, or close to it. Can anyone confirm that they might be related?

Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on November 26, 2007, 06:09:53 PM
This is only my opinion but something is really bothering me. Ok I will be the first to say over and over that no Taylor does not do her chores for the week. She likes to sleep in (most kids do lol), but that was just plain MEAN for them to say they were going to take her reward away. First of all, why not take her money for the week to prove a point. Because she DOES participate in the showdowns to earn the reward. Anyone else agree? So if shes not doing her job, then TAKE HER MONEY.
Also the preview for this week, there are more kids then just Taylor not doing their work but is it just me or is it always Taylor they are picking on? The fight looks like it was started by someone who is trying to bully Taylor. It just seems like she is one of those that WILL stand up for herself. Maybe its just me, I was a Taylor fan - she makes me laugh at everything she says, and I really do feel like she tried in the first week until Sophia went off about them not doing dishes while they cooked (which was not her business imo).
And once again I agree Taylor can be a brat, and she seems to be one of those "im too good to do anything" but she also seems like a great kid, one that is just acting her "age". And it just seems to me that shes always being picked on over and over just cause they can. When her friend left, she was there trying to talk to her to get her to stay. And she made quite a few good MATURE points to her friend. My step neices are THE biggest brats ever (my boys are SCARED of them :lol3: ). They get away with everything and they know it (:;) and Taylor is an angel compared to them, it just makes me sad how much she is picked on and singled out I guess.
Also look at the ages of the kids getting gold stars, is it just me or are they always the older ones? I realize the younger ones have gotten them to, but it seems like the numbers for the older kids are WAYYYYYYYYY more. It seems like the kids that DO do what they are suppose to everyday are the ones that only want the star - Greg comes to mind. He was a jerk in the first week and then he was fine when he got the gold star and sometimes is a jerk again and again.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on November 26, 2007, 06:21:26 PM
Ok this just proves what im trying to say. The youngest was 8 (Jimmy - who left in week 1 or something), so the only other 8 year old to get it was Mallory and isn't she the one that Greg swore it was only cause of her birthday??? But she got it because she was bossy with the saloon or something? Remember someone nominated her cause of it.
But then look at the ages of all these other kids. The next youngest is 11. So where are the other 8, 9 and 10 year olds? It seems like the most are 12 and 14.
that leaves 1--- 8 year old 3-- 9 year olds and 10---11 year olds
Gold Star Winners age 8--------1 Mallory 11------1 Nathan 12------3 Kennedy, Laurel, Morgan 13------1 Blaine 14------3 Sophia , Michael, DK 15------1 Greg
Maybe we will see more 11 year olds win soon.
As far as Taylor, They already told her they would take her money a couple of eps. back. She said she did not care. I guess the kids are just trying something else to take away from the little brat. Of course she tries at the challenges, she does not want to do any work, she wants the upper class so she can sleep and play all day and night.

Post by: MamaTo4boys on November 27, 2007, 08:10:56 PM
But it seems like the rules only apply to Taylor. There are others that I see (and they are not in the yellow district) that don't do their work, that I have even seen just standing around during the challenges to. Thats what im trying to say. I think its been focused on Taylor because she was on council. Or working aside, what about the things the others do. Why did nothing ever happen to Greg when he did the spray painting? And now hes acting like all big and bad on the council.
I never liked Laurel, and especially how bratty she got after she was off of council lol.
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: Mandoli on November 27, 2007, 08:22:06 PM
Taylor was the original leader of the Yellow District, but she didn't do anything as a leader. After the first election, she still vowed that she wouldn't do anything workwise. We hadn't heard from her after the big meltdown after the new Council leaders were elected and for a few episodes after that. Now we get to hear that she has another blowup in town? First off, I wonder why we hadn't heard from her in a few episodes?
Title: Re: Kid Nation: The Episodes
Post by: MamaTo4boys on November 27, 2007, 09:23:09 PM
I guess I just think that there were 40 kids. While I realize why Taylor was a big part of the show at first (council member) it seems that shes STILL a big focus and I blame that on CBS. C'mon out of 40 kids your telling me that they all get along (just look at the religion episode) except for with Taylor.
Im not saying Taylor was ever innocent, im saying that they keep threatening her (I guess as Blondie said she wasn't going to get her $, and then with the whole reward thing - which makes no sense if they had chosen the ponies she doesn't do work so it wouldn't have helped her now would it). I just think that there are other kids there that need to be lead, that need to do some work and they don't. And then all these others thinking they are the mightyest of all, and the ones that are the quite ones that do their job and say nothing are the ones that get overlooked for the gold star.
I still think that maybe the council should have voted for the gold star winner. And then at the end of the season rewarded the kids. And maybe for calling their parents, they could've done prizes some other way. Or maybe do the gold star, the prize was the phone call and wait til the end of the season to tell them its worth 20,000.00. So basically it be treated like a trophy.

I watched only one ep at the beginning of the season, and it about drove me up the wall!! Then recently, I was flipping channels and an older girl (i think Taylor?) was singing Amazing Grace and I just melted. She has a beautiful voice and I loved listening. But didn't stick around for the rest of that ep or anytime since.
Is this show worth continuing into future seasons? I don't know, it just seems like complete chaos to me. Are the children learning anything that would help them in their future?? ???

When they chose the arcade, I already knew what was going to happen. I mean when the council the first few shows had to choose they even said "people won't be working cause they will be playing on that" - I think the water slide maybe! Or no, cause they didn't win that reward. Ummm I forget what it was then :lol3:

:cmas20 This was a great episode. I really think Taylor learned a good lesson last night. She is always telling EVERYONE that she does not like anyone telling her what to do.
Well that is life. We all have to do some things we really don't want to do don't we? I think after she thought about it, she realized that if she did not get up off of her butt and do something she would not get to do anything fun. Kinda like real life isn't it?
If you work, you can take care of your family and sometimes get to do fun things like go on vacation. If you don't work, you can't even take care of your family. Usually don't even have a family, and sure as heck can't go do anything fun or have any extras in this crazy world. The kids should learn this now at an early age.
I tell all of my grandchildren, Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth (in more ways than one).
I was very proud of Taylor for doing the dishes and really trying. I think the kids did a great thing by telling her that she did good and she could go into the arcade. I really hope she looks back on this and realizes the mistakes that she made and does not turn out a Jen Johnson :cmas50
Hunter was a perfect choice for the star. I am glad that they know what it is worth. It is like working for a bonus at your workplace. If you want it bad enough, you go the extra mile to get it.
Sophia as sheriff :cmas50 Love it!!!

Taylor is just hard headed, and you know what - I think thats what I personally like about her. Sure it might be a bad thing, but did you notice when someone approached her and asked her nicely to do something she DID it? I don't think it was 'just' about the arcade (my opinion). All this season shes been picked on (has she deserved some of it, sure) but shes 11, 99% of 11 year olds that I have known do not take orders. Shes only human to. JMO. Its funny to me, everyone bashes Taylor, but Greg is like all Mr mighty...... yet look at the things he has done. When he wasn't getting his way he threw major hissy fits and was going to turn the town upside down.
Sophia has always annoyed me, and I wish someone would just tell her that she is NOT perfect. UH!

Tommorows episode: The Sheriff takes control of the town!
Who would've thunk it, with Sophia and all it comes as a total surprise - yes im being sarcastic.
From TV Guide: The town-council members leave Bonanza City to visit with local Native Americans. While they are away, Bonanza's so-called sheriff seizes the oppurtunity to take control of the town.
You know what im thinking, if the council leaves - then pretty much Sophia is the only "older" one left right? Cause Greg, Blaine and isn't Michael or somebody on council. No wonder why she uses this to take control :lol3:

Wasn't that last week? Since they already made her sheriff. I can just see this now though with how bossy she is. I was thinking that it was Michael, to me those 3 - Greg, Blaine and Michael are what I think kinda compete with Sophia so I can def. see her taking this as an oppurtunity to be even more bossy. Even if they hadn't told her she was in charge she would've done so anyways. DK gets on my nerves and I do not understand how he made council.
Im just insterested in why they say "so-called" sheriff in the tv guide, it sounds like it could be a fight - but I haven't seen a preview.

Glad it went smoothly when Sophia was in charge :lol3: I really thought she was gonna nominate Taylor for the gold star :cmas50
But I felt bad for Zack :( I mean I know he shouldn't have nominated himself but I agree, he has deserved it. When the yellow team hasn't been wanting to cook hes been the only one to do so. And I also think that he is the one that got Taylors attention more so then anyone else. For once im glad DK said what he said..... anyways it was a good episode and im looking forward to next week!
With the gold stars next week, I wonder how much they are worth if they are twice as big. Go Taylor. Hahaha! :cmas19

:xmas49 Hey Rudy
Nobody wins the whole thing as far as we know. They get the 20 thousand gold star awards for doing a good job in the city. The next episode, the stars are maybe worth more money. I am thinking that maybe they will give them all ( who stayed for the whole time) a scholarship or something along those lines.

I thought it was Taylor that sang the song to - cause I for some reason remember someone earlier commenting on her "southern" voice. I missed a few episodes earlier in the season because the kids and I were sick for two weeks (on and off).
I doubt Taylor gets a gold star this next episode. Nobody likes her and from what I know the 50,000 gold star is for who worked the hardest the whole season. I hope its the boy that just got his not this last week but the week before (the one whos dad lost his job). Up before anyone working, and never stopping. But of course just like anything in life its a popularity contest.
And according to TV Guide they are all surprised with something that leaves them in tears

The girl who sang Amazing Grace is red headed & talks a lot older than her age! Whoever, she can really sing! Maybe the show will give her the opportunity to use her vocal talent? American Idol someday?!

Just curious and I didn't wanna start a new thread but has anyone heard about a season 2 of this? I know there was applications and then where the second season would be so im curious.
My neices teacher uses this as homework (my neice LOVES that cause she has an excuse to watch TV) and I guess she mentioned that it was coming soon. So I was assuming that would mean THIS school year, but there is no way I wouldn't think they could have all their kids, plus have a place and then film for it to be ready by June. Hmmm?
Title: "Kid Nation" Is No More
Post by: puddin on February 15, 2008, 06:10:41 PM
"Kid Nation" Is No More
Remember "Kid Nation?"
It was only the cause celebre of the '07-'08 season, with endless stories written about, and over which countless calls were made by reporters to child welfare services in New Mexico, state investigation panels convened, and critics so exercised by the possible legal and moral ramifications of it all that they lost sleep AND weight (often at the same time.)
It was quite a show.
Anyway, it's dead.
Or almost certainly dead - or like that soap that's 99.999 percent pure - it's 99.999 percent dead.
CBS announced its '08-09 returning shows last night, and "Kid" was not amongst the living. Here's the complete list, and no major surprises: "Cold Case," "Criminal Minds," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "CSI: Miami," "CSI: NY," "Ghost Whisperer," "NCIS," "Numb3rs," "Two and a Half Men," "Without a Trace," "The Big Bang Theory." Of the reality crew, CBS had already announced that '"Survivor" and "The Amazing Race" were back.
I emailed CBS's laudatory primetime press man, Phil Gonzales, about the unfortunate state of affairs with regards "Kid Nation." He wrote back: "Other than the shows that we just announced as renewed, no final decisions have been made on any shows for next year. We just ordered 4 more post-strike originals for 'Moonlight' and 'Jericho' is in 'Cane’s' time period for now."
Phil is just too polite to say it, so I'll say it for him:
"Kid Nation" is dead.
Without "Kid Nation" to kick around, what will give critics exercise this fall? (They'll have to go out and run around the block, I guess.) At least they'll get some sleep.
And - I'm glad you asked - what about "Cane." Again, I think this announcement pretty much says it all. It too is gone. That's a bummer - especially for Jimmy Smits fans. But here's the silver lining: This means that the splendid Nestor Carbonell - who just happens to be one of my favorite actors in the solar system - will get to return to "Lost" where he can complete his great and never-aging portrayal of Richard.
Yes, "Others" dude Richard Alpert with 99.999 percent certainty WILL be back and that's the best news today.

This has nothing to do w/ Kid Nation, but will put it here since it is mentioned in the above article.
I'm so sorry it looks certain that Cane is cancelled, starring Jimmy Smits. I've been an avid fan of his since NYPD, and really loved him in Cane. Liked him better in NYPD, yet he did a great job in Cane. It was good to see him with a major role again. Hope he finds another leading role in a show that stays!
