The kids have to take care of themselves because anyone can snap. One of the girls, Taylor, refuses to help with burying the trash so she starts crying her eyes out. Do you honestly want a girl like that under your control? Probably not, but it’s the lucky job of the “town council.” They are a group of elected kids to boss the others around and make their town better, not that it could get any worse. The 'council' kids sound like a bunch of 40 year old men trapped in kids bodies.
The first question is what parent would send their child off to a boot camp of sorts and let them fight things out on national tv. As a parent, I would be embarrassed to send my kid off by his or her self because that seems like just handing off your problem.
Taylor, who has an incredible temper, screams “you’re not my mother.” Well duh, your mom is at home watching you scream and slap people on tv. Talk about a bunch of raging hormones, they are starting younger and younger. All I hear when she talks is blah blah blah. Nothing important ever comes out of any of their mouths. Taylor continues to say that she wants to go home. Well what kid would want to leave their house, parents, toys, and friends to come to a deserted town with a bunch of strangers and lots of dirt?
The show seems like a good idea but what does it teach them really? How much they miss home? Why they still want to be kids and not adults with responsibilities? Needless to say Kid Nation is a Survivor for kids, except that they cry a whole lot more.
