:)) You hit the nail on the head... he is very impatient on when it comes to
"some" things... I must say, he can be very patient when it comes to computer things. He has helped me out a lot....
That was pretty interesting. After Sophia spoke up I was surprised she still got the gold star.
Yea I was surprised too. Did you see the previews for next week? Looks like she hasn't changed & still running her jaws off, lol. The show wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be with all the negative publicity it got.
It wasn't as bad as I was expecting either. It was just OK, I was expecting it to be 10x worse.
It's nothing I'll go out of my way to watch every week.. I'll probably only watch it if nothing else is on tv.
That Sophia girl has attitude.. I like her :)))
Sophia = Florida :^* I was afraid there was never going to be an adult running things. It reminded me of a childrens survivor.
Winter Park's Sophia wins $20,000 on "Kid Nation," but the controversial series earns a brickbat
Posted on Sep 19, 2007 9:33:52 PM
Let me say something nice first about CBS' "Kid Nation," a show that usually creeped me out or bored me.
Sophia, the Winter Park girl participating, is a dynamic personality. Sophia (pictured) was 14 during production (she is 15 now). When she cooked, danced or complained, she was riveting. She also won $20,000 in the first episode as the hardest-working child in this reality series.
She earned every cent. Without her, "Kid Nation" would have been a slog. The producers evidently understand they are lucky to have this forceful personality. "Kid Nation" teased that she will be featured prominently next week.
The show, in which 40 spunky children set up a society, might more accurately be called "Camp With Elaborate Games." The premiere offered a splashy water-pumping exercise that could rival any challenge on "Survivor."
Enough of the good stuff.
I have a low threshold for watching children cry. (They did a lot of that.)
Or seeing them live in a place that is dirty, dusty and cold.
Or witnessing young children pine for their parents. Little Jimmy, who is 8, packed it in and said goodbye.
I have to think many viewers followed him. "Kid Nation" aimed to be inspiring; the results were mostly cheesy and dull.
We've just come out of a summer when viewers mostly rejected the new reality series that broadcasters trotted out. I can't imagine they're longing for "Kid Nation."
The series made headlines after drawing allegations that it overworked the children and put them in dangerous situations.
CBS needed the furor to draw viewers. Wednesday night, the audience learned it was all much ado about nothing.
Feel free to cry along with the kids. This is what television has come to.

I saw four children and their parents on talk shows yesterday, and the parents didn't have a problem with the show, and neither did the kids. The media is crazy sometimes. Homer and I will be sending our children their and they better get the gold star or I will make them cry. :{:
This is on along with ...
Dancing With The Stars Result show
Americas Next Top Model
Gonna watch Kid Nation and record everything else. bbq22.gif
I'll be taping Kid Nation cause I gotta watch DWTS, :/// but on commercials I'll flip & watch some bits of Deal or No Deal. Then I'll watch Kitchen Nightmares at 9. As much as I like it, glad DWTS goes back to 2 nites a week next week <..>
Holy guacamole the damn chicken was still shaking...lol I told my kids they might not want to watch when that warning came up...LOL I'm the one who shouldn't of watched. :)))
Did you see Evil Dick's kid waking everyone up? :)))
If my kids were at Kid Nation, they would smack the crap out of Taylor and take the pizza. :)))

You can only imagine what her Mother is like. :-\ I feel sorry for her Dad, I bet his wife is a real peice of work.
Did you see her jumping for reward? She never wanted it before. I thought it was going to be those big green dumpsters for their trash. This time I say take the food. They will run out of gas and fight over who is going to ride on it.

The gum thing was nasty..lol All slobbery and stuff. Those kids are looking pretty rough...they need to clean up and comb their hair..lol I guess when you don't have adults around to make you do it, you just don't. :)))
Taylor was quiet for a change. I wanna see her clean toilets next week. :)) :)) :))
Divad keeps nominating herself for a gold star. She doesn't seem to understand you have to earn it. ::)
Taylor won't clean any toilets. She will get a bucket, turn it over, sit on it, and say "Deal with it" :P
Divad does help out around the place..she cooks potatoes. I wish she was here to cook me some. !@!

Greg said he couldn't keep the letter to Taylor from her parents from her.... I could have, and I would of said "deal with it" :)))

That damn Taylor needs :{:
Instead of allowing them to murder chickens they should have had a store where they could buy chicken in a package.
I can't believe the animal rights activists aren't wired about this. Remember when they had the kids chasing all those sheep? >:D
Before the show started, there was controversy about everything. The two people I saw in an interview before it started were Laurel and DJ. They both were with their parents and said they loved it and had the time of their life. There were a few little accidents like 2 kids drank some bleach and something else I can't remember, but the filming crew people are with them 24/7.
I bet they feed them when the cameras aren't rolling. They let them take baths or showers, because if they didn't their hair would be all greasy by now, and you can tell it's not. It doesn't look they comb it or brush it though. (Except for Taylor) Gawd forbid she go out with messed up hair.
They probably really did kill a chicken, but I doubt they knew how to clean it and all that. I'm sure they help them alot and we just don't see it.

They showed Greg whacking the chickens in like week one or two. He seemed to know what he was doing. He claimed to have worked in a butcher shop or something.

They should of taken the 150,000 and divided it up between all of the kids. They all did something. Maybe it should of been a vote thing. It's kind of unfair the council decided on all three. They weren't even eligible.

I would be surprised if every kid didn't get some sort of prize like a 5k savings bond or something. I don't remember them saying it but maybe you got something for being elected to council. I'm sure everyone got something. They just couldn't let on during the show becuse they would really have had a riot.
I was expecting to see Taylor's family too cause I was sure curious but I figured I'd just missed em on there..lol. Of all the families, thats the 1 I wanted to see :))) I was little disappointed in the last show actually, guess I was just expecting more :-\
Homer, I read somewhere that the kids all recieved 5,000 for doing the show. Not bad for 40 days right? :))) $125.00 bucks a day.
Cindy Lou, I guess we think the same because I wanted to see Taylors Mom. Her dad was probably not allowed to go..lmao Maybe Taylors Mom didn't want to walk on that dirt or let the wind blow dust in her hair. I bet she is so Paris Hilton. :)))
:)) :)) Tara I so agree with ya on her mom
I heard there was a lot of controversy with this show. Because they are kids. Not sure if it will come back on or not. Depends on the ratings I guess and the legality of the show. I really liked the show though. My fiance thought that it was giving these kids a false sense empowerment at such a young age. But I don't think I totaly agree with him. My favorite was Alex, the little oriental kid. He was just so smart and cute, with that one big front tooth! LOL. I just wanted to squish him up. <..>
