TV Bender

Many of you have written me to ask when the new season of Kid Nation would be starting up. The truth is it is NOT coming back. I mean with all the drama from last season I can’t blame them and honestly I’m happy. The conditions those kids lived in, whether it was all for show or not were ridiculous.

Before the strike the only shows CBS were renewing for 2008-2009 were: the three CSIs (Miami, NY & CSI), Ghost Whisperer, Criminal Minds, Cold Case, NCIS, Numb3rs, Without a Trace, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory and two reality shows: The Amazing Race and Survivor.

The kids were so bored with Kid Nation that they lay down in the middle of the road just because another was. Each one has stated they are all bored. I’m sorry if this were my kids they would buy a deck of cards and everyone would be doing a game or tournaments.

Well as we adults know, that’s money and Kidnation is having a hard time adjusting to life with a mere nickel or a couple of nickels. Some young pioneers have learned how to make those simple few nickels become dimes or more, while others have run out.

Course the children had a lot of fun when they went on a treasure hunt and fournd a chest full of nickels, 300 nickels. It was the council that actually found this loot, but they shared it with the entire town.

Tonight should prove to be yet another screaming-fighting-whining Kid Nation show again. But this time the town is ganging up on the poor beauty Queens Taylor, ex-council member, and Layla, her best friend. Why? Oh that’s simple they don’t believe they should pick up trash, even though they help make it.

Will it be “Deal with It” or “Viva la Revolucion!”?

Just in case ya’ll may have missed last week’s episode, like myself, they do have the entire thing over at YouTube. I just spent the last half hour finding all of them and watching them. Even the hubby joined in and took a peek, he too wanted to see who got to stay and who got voted off the council. He doesn’t like Mike or Taylor.

This one starts off with them reading from that book and deciding that they should let the town vote for who they think should be in town council. I think this nerved Taylor as she knows she has her own issues and many of the town members don’t like it.

I see some have some very strong on KidNation, and I must add it does take a LOT to watch this show. After reading many reviews online and reading my comments on this blog I can see there are many opinions. So I’d like to take this opportunity to open this blog up…I want to read your opinions on KidNation. While it may not make the show stay on or go off the air it can give us a place to talk about it. So spill it!

This week on Kidnation, I was actually shocked to see that when it came down to picking a prize in the latest contest the council went with bible stories instead of the miniature golfing. I’m waiting for the uproar on this one.

Throughout the show you watch as everyone strives to help the community, everyone except one person. That’s right, once again Taylor is doing nothing more than be a spoiled princess and as far as I know this isn’t a beauty pageant. While she may be a young one but I’ve seen others younger than she is working harder…heck, just working period. I loved it when the little boy was able to grab up everyone and have them help with washing the dishes, of course this shouldn’t have been his responsiblility. Course I would’ve loved to see someone dump her in the dirty water.
