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."

1st half hour.Money issues in town. The council leaders can go up into the mines and get additional money. They buy stuff at the General Store for everyone to use rather than distribute it individually. Showdown. Slingshot golden eggs and catch with a large circular thing. Blue team rocks and wins the upper class and wins the reward for the town.
Yellow gets merchants, green gets kitchen, red gets laborer. Choice Washing Machines that are 20 cents a load or a new outfit for everyone and free period washing machines to help with the laundry. They get the clothes and manual washing machines

Jared is woodburning with a magnifying glass and makes necklaces out of them for 10 cents each.

Nathan seems to work to hard and he's been having issues with Greg.Greg apologizes to him for that and acknowledges him for working hard. Greg thinks Nathan deserves it. One of the girls (Divad?) on the red team is making signs for the gold star. Greg doesn't like her making signs and bribing people with food. The council calls people in to give their nominations for gold star.

They are between Farrow and Nathan. They think Farrow is just working for the gold star where Nathan works because that is what he wants to do.

I know this has been said by others, but I loved this little kid tonight. He was enterprising in a very creative way. He did not get into the gung-ho braggadocio before the challenge ("I am excited. I'm just not showing it."). He got angry and competitive, but apologized for his behavior. He gets my vote for a gold star.
Beware the Bear

I'm with you, Bear. This quirky little kid is cracking me up. He's just the cutest little, strange little boy and I'm loving him.
So glad it wasn't the Taylor show tonight.
RIP, Bill Walsh

Jared is just a riot. I recently found out that he is the son of someone I lived up the street from growing up and my kids go to school with his cousins. I cannot wait to talk to his grandmother and find out more about his time in Bonanza City.

Perhaps. I can agree with you that some of these parents may be DAWs themselves. I just don't see the difference between what these DAW parents have done compared to what I see done by DAW parents IRL every day of the week. In fact, I'd argue that at least the KN parents have provided their children with an extremely valuable and worthwhile learning experience that they will most likely use as a positive example for life in things like communal organization, political activism, working and acting for the common good, decision-making, financial literacy, and...well, just so many things that can only make a child a better adult. And a little public humiliation is good for soul, as my mother always put it. Perhaps Taylor has learned a little humility from seeing herself acting so badly. It was always the situations in which my parents publicly humiliated me that were most effective in getting me to act properly. I really think Taylor, if she is the great kid we've had hints she could be if she gave herself the chance, wouldn't be emotionally scarred from her experience but would learn and profit from it. I've certainly never and never met anyone who profited in maturity by being coddled, allowed to act in the most spoiled and self-centered fashion, and never had to confront personal bad behavior and its consequences.I see nothing at all abusive about this in any way. YMMV, but I cannot imagine making that leap in reasoning myself.

What a kewl lesson for a 9 year old. Parade them on tv and let them get forever branded as a total brat! That'll teach 'em. *puhleeze* > It was always the

Reminds me of that old program James at 15 (or was it 16) where he wet the bed and his parents hung the sheets out his window for the whole neighborhood to see. Nothing like some good old fashioned public humiliation! Wooooooo! I

LAST EDITED ON 11-07-07 AT 02:55 PM (EST)Next to the screen name at the top of each post. See the # and first three words after the #? That is what a DAW is.  The various levels under your name are things that DAW's who were on reality TV shows have done after the show was over to extend their 15 minutes of fame.
