LAST EDITED ON 10-25-07 AT 04:37 PM (EST)That was a great episode. Town council reads the "journal." Time to clean up the town of Bonanza. The town council picks of a team of people to do the dirty work - load all the trash up on carts, take it far outside the town and bury it. They choose several that have proven to be willing and capable workers along with Taylor and her little cohort. Taylor and friend refuse to go. Guylan jumps in to do some digging and doesn't seem to have the upper body strength to really dig in. He gets a lot of ribbing from Greg and others and gives up. Layla decides she should help after all and is warmly greeted by Laurel. Everybody works together and gets the trash buried. DK comforts Guylan and reassures him that he's working hard and that it'll all be okay. Back at town they discover that the water tank is empty. It is decided that Taylor will haul water as a punishment for not helping with the trash. She refuses and struggles with Anjay and tries to kick him. She finally relents and goes to get the water. On her way back she sets both buckets down and says something like, "Hey ya'll, look at this!" She knocks the buckets over and says, "Oops! My bad." (edited to correct faulty memory) DK rallies the whole town to do a little bucket brigade and the tank gets filled up. Challenge. Pigs running around in a huge tank of baked beans - Pork 'n Beans - get it. There are colored cans in the beans and a member of each team takes turns collecting their cans. The team with the most cans at the end wins upper class and so on. If all the teams collect a total of 75 cans they win reward. The reward choices - loads of fresh fruits and vegetables or two gas powered dune buggies. Taylor is screaming for the dune buggies. The new council chooses ---- the fruit and veggies. Yay!! Council discusses gold star recipient. Without question, they all choose DK. No other name even comes into the conversation. Town Meeting. Quite a fuss over Taylor's lack of contribution to the town. They all gang up on her a bit until DK gets everyone to calm down and give Taylor a break. She smugly thanks him. Does anyone want to go home? dundun duuuun.... DK raises his hand and the council looks like they've been hit with a ton of bricks. There is a collective gasp from the town. Everyone cries as DK explains that he's tired of all the negativity and that he wants to be with his family. Guylan takes matters into his own hands. He has a private heart to heart with DK and convinces him to stay (without telling him about the gold star). Gold star time. Town council announces that they have chosen....
DK!!! Town erupts in applause and the DK is so surprised that he doesn't know what to say. Then "I've got six brothers and sisters that all want to go to college."
I know this sounds corny but... That was one of the best moments I have seen on TV in a long time. I cried and cheered along with the rest of the crowd and so did my family.  Way to go, DK.

I imagine that Taylor is how she is BECAUSE of her parents. They are probably pretty proud of their spoiled little snot faced beauty queen.
Loved DK tonight. What a great kid. I want one of him. One reason I never had kids was because of snots like Taylor. But DK is just an all around cool kid.
RIP, Bill Walsh

Yes, they do gang up on her but not without warrant. I can not tell you how many times I said that I wished I was 11 years old so I could go there and kick her ass.

Man, we've been agreeing too much lately! LOL!I'd like to smack that little snot Taylor. And then I want to double smack her parents. They have created a total monster. And the sad thing is that she obviously has some qualities that, given the right direction and supervision, would make her an amazing kid. But her sense of entitlement is disgusting and could only have been due to parenting. Actually, bad parenting. When my six-year-old niece (who calls me after the show every Wednesday because she gets so excited over it and is allowed up past bedtime to watch) is perceptive enough to see that, it's got to be bad. She told me last night that she thinks Taylor's parents didn't teach her much about getting along with others. As for DK, he's just awesome. His family has done a wonderful job. I was pretty much a blubbering fool at the end. I have to say that I never thought a reality show could move me like that.

Caught most of the show last nite (was dealing with a leaky pipe). Wondering if there is any procedure in place to 'banish' (for lack of a better word) a citizen who refuses to do any work. Punishment doesn't work - Taylor just refuses to do the punishment.
Maybe 'no work - no eat'? No work - no sharing of rewards?
They have a useless loiterer. Maybe she just gets to hang around and do nothing - well, it's working for Sherea in Survivor, so......I wish they were showing more of all the others kids. I'm tired of seeing 'confessionals' from the same ones all the time. This show makes me wonder what my great neices and nephews would do in similar circumstances. One for sure would be a leader - very smart kid who knows how to get things done. But they all moan and groan a bit about chores, so I'd be curious to see how willingly they'd pitch in. But they definately would not be Taylors! Thank goodness!

Exactly. Thats what me and my wife talk about when we watch the show - how exactly our children would die if they were to embarass us that much. I hope that she does turn around so her parents don't have to move away and go into witness protection. Although I did read on her bio that she is from the country, so maybe they don't know many people. Its almost painful to watch. I keep soft bean-bag like objects nearby when I watch so I can throw them at the screen when it gets crazy.

I agree, and I said this last week, Taylor has got to turn herself around somehow. They are spending way too much time on her story for that not to happen! She was truly odious last night. She's given the editors a lot to work with (but I bet they are deliberately omitting anything positive she says and does). Taylor is making Greg look like a pussy cat! Not only is she acting entitled, she was vicious taunting Zach about his unibrow. I wanted to smack her. I just wonder what the catalyst will be for her to change!

This was the first episode that I didn't really care for. It had its moments. For instance: I was surprised by Greg who didn't simply leave town now that he has his star but actually continued being a good guy. Taylor still makes me laugh but its already getting old. Anjay is in so much over his head, it's funny. I understood why they had Mike as a politician; the guy can't do any real work! But, really, besides KD's showing in a few scenes and during the town council, not much happened. Even the ending of KD's story, wanting to leave but getting the gold star instead, looked, I don't know...scripted. Maybe I need to see Jared involved in a story.

It looked like he's got quite a story line coming up in the next episode. The previews had a scene of him knocking over a table.
