PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "Not offended." |
My main worry right now -- which surprised me a little -- is diet. It's one thing to put adults on the EPMB grain-and-drain, but it's more vital to keep things balanced for kids. They do need more protein than what we're seeing, fresh fruit would be nice, and veggies should show up somewhere.

Totally not offended and cannot imagine for the life of me why anyone would be.Based on what I saw last night, I love, love, love this show. 
"And now the whole nation -- pulpit and all -- will take up the war-cry, and shout itself hoarse, and mob any honest man who ventures to open his mouth; and presently such mouths will cease to open. Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception."

So what you're saying is that you'd give up TV for an outhouse?

Not offended. More bemused than anything --As already identified, the nutrition (or lack thereof) does concern me. But I'm guessing that some where along the line a couple of the farm kids will be asked to 'take care' of some of the chickens, or maybe a goat (there were some little 'uns, no good for milk production) -- and let's not forget about the Great Wabbit Hunters. I must wonder, however, just what kind of pre-production preparation the kids (and their parents) were given. We know that the Survior castaways get training on basic survivor techniques (identifying edible/poisionus plants, etc). And (again) what about school? I believe this was filmed in April/May -- school still in session for most kids (not to mention prime Testing windows).

I've already given up on the Great Wabbit Hunters. It's nice to see the ambition, but homid vs. lapine when the homid is armed with a rock is a automatic victory for the lapine. If they get within four feet of a hit, it means the jackrabbit was in a teasing mood.

LAST EDITED ON 09-20-07 AT 10:54 AM (EST)The previews for next week showed some controversy brewing over killing a chicken. So...I'm assuming protein will eventually be part of the picture. I'm sure the kids got some preparation. As for the school thing, I read that it occurred when they were out of school. Of course, that varies so widely from state to state and district to district that that could mean anything. Regardless, don't you think this is pretty damn educational? If I had a kid, I'd rather he/she do this and actually learn something about life than the worthless learning how to take a multiple choice test that is pretty much all the students we get here know how to do once they graduate high school. NCLB = ECLB with no life, economic, verbal, written, or practical skills. Edited because I left out a couple of the other necessary skills it seems NCLB would rather they not learn.

10. "RE: Offended/not offended?: premiere." |
LAST EDITED ON 09-20-07 AT 11:00 AM (EST)Not offended. 1) Even though there are no adults doing the cooking, etc., I am sure that all the medical and safety stuff the insurance company would have required were in place so there were adults to cover all the "if something happened" issues. 2) Kids get injured, I know as a society we seem to think we can childproof the world. We can't. As long as the neded safety issues were handled (and something I saw/read seemed to indicate they were taught enough to be able to use the wood stove my Mother learned to cook on when she was their ages) you've done what you need to do. I would bet adults (probably someone in addition to the camera person) was on hand for all cooking or other "dangerous" chores. "Let the little one-eyed bastards play." 3) Diet, I did hear canned peaches mentioned and when they were messing with the cans I think I saw vegetables. I'm not sure what canning techniques are period, but a diet at that time when first settling a place would mostly be preserved food. They have protein available (chickens, goats, the eggs and the milk) and it seems at least one of the farm/ranch kids will figure out the rest. As long as they are available I think they are covered, and there may be something in that instruction book about scurvy or other such diet issues. 4) I'm not sure about child labor issues, it doesn't seem worse than any of the farm kids that age I knew with feed the animals/weed the garden, etc work schedules. Now the being filmed=work thing may be and issue, but with that many kids and the amount of work there is the actual chore/day time per kid should not be excessive. 5) Even with please stay peer pressure, that they are routinely offered the opportunity to leave is a good thing, IMO.

17. "RE: Horribly Offended!." |
>ScienceBoy: "That would like, hurt your
>colon. A lot." I about fell off my chair when he said that. LOL! I also immediately thought, now there's a boy who most likely had toilet training issues. Well, I take that back. He probably didn't. But his mom probably did. You know, one of those ones that keeps a chart of bowel movements on the refrigerator door. LOL!

22. "I was impressed" |
She's very take charge, seems very articulate and intelligent. The Greg kid disturbs me. Perhaps that's just the edit and he will earn a gold star in the future. But sheesh- it's like they said "OK, now we need the bully, cast HIM, he's perfect!"

26. "Favorite quotes" |
First of all, TOTALLY not offended and I'd have loved to do something like this when I was a kid!On to the quotes: pretty much anything out of Jared's mouth was hilarious "Dude, we gotta focus on what we're gonna eat for dinner" (after Anjay talks about making ice cream and rock candy, lol) of coure Michael's speech And my absolute favorite: "Are we supposed to live here? It's in disarray...it's a mattress with some heinous looking stuff on it" LMAO

27. "RE: Offended/not offended?: premiere." |
LAST EDITED ON 09-22-07 AT 04:57 PM (EST)My favorite part of this show was how the girl who wanted the bike went out and found a way to get it. Did she try the "lets pool together and get a bike for the team? No. This one wanted it for herself, and found a creative way to get it! And the coolest thing? Her team mates cheered for her when she rode off on it. I was also impressed that they chose function over luxury. If I were to offer something similar to the freshmen students I talked about in OT, I think they would have chosen the TV without missing a beat. Favorite quote: "I'm a beauty pageant queen. I don't do dishes!" ETA: I totally fell in love with that precious sweetie who chose to go home.
