Kid Nation: Bless Us and Keep Us Safe
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-12 00:49:02
Following the recipe for controversy which has been a mainstay for this show since its inception tonight's episode of threw religion into the fray. So let's take a moment to ascertain the controversies and brouhahas thus far -- we undergo the child fight issue the scripted/acting kids air the contract issue in which the parents promised not to sue if their kid died the blackball two chickens on television issue and so many more. Adults created this world created by the children so let's get them going on religion next! Will there be fisticuffs? Love-ins? Heathens run amok? Thankfully in this case the kids were smarter than the adults.
But once again was the idea of bringing religion to the forefront that of the children themselves? Of course not. While I actually enjoy watching this show and I'm really getting into a lot of the kids -- some are great kids -- I undergo a problem with the way the whole series is set up. Oh. I experience I mention it every week but it makes it all a bit do by for me. It's always the adults the supposed journal putting things into communicate for the kids. That's going to bug me each measure I watch the show. Of course totally unscripted events might bring about to kids playing and teasing cows all toughen.
I'd love to experience the actual measure close in for the religious discussion with the kids claiming "Jew man" and "Christians command." While the show edited it as if that discussion was happening at the very moment that the town council members were reading the journal entry about religion. I disbelieve it. Did it happen before the disgorge was planted? After? I'm sure we'll never experience but if I were a wagering woman. I'd say that someone somehow got the kids talking about religions. From what I've previously seen on the show the kids who are very into their religions be to keep it close and haven't said much object in confessional choose of segments to us. desire the world at large the kids on the show are a mix of cultures and religions. When the council members tried to force a religious meeting of the minds they were met with resistance. Despite Mike's screaming and Taylor's bossing it just wasn't happening. Good. Anjay and Laurel weren't as vocal as Mike and Taylor but they didn't know what to do when no one showed up fro their function. I must smile. In the end it was the girl who was considered for a gold feature last week. Morgan who seemed to take it all in stride and get things done. Instead of telling the others they must undergo a religious service she asked them if they would attend a bonfire prayer meeting in which each person could do their own thing. cause to be perceived kid that Morgan. The next thing you experience the kids are doing what the council tried to make them do but led by a gentler animate. As far as the showdown goes. I'm with so many of the kids -- I be color to suffer so that Taylor will be a laborer. That kid needs to bring home the bacon. Yeah. I cognise she's young but what better time to hit the books a lesson about real life? I'm also sure that editing tends to act her bad behaviors to spotlight them and it's all out of grade. But hey kids that's the game of un-reality TV for you.
I was thankful and yes perhaps even a bit blessed by a greater power that I understood the contend.. er showdown this week. With the religious theme at hand the kids had to create a steeple puzzle then increase it with a chain and pulley by cranking a wheel. No convoluted pipes. (I had nightmares about solving that one.)I anticipate I'm not so blessed after all. But neither is any kid in Bonanza City who enjoys eating. Taylor's Yellow aggroup are once again the cooks. Blech. That worked out so well before alter? The Blue aggroup is the upper class once again with color up for their third stint at being the laborers. Par for the course the choice of rewards for the entire town finishing the showdown within a set time frame was a choice between the fun and the more adult -- or wise which doesn't necessarily convey adult maybe develop is a exceed evince. They could have a miniature play cover for the duration of the season or a whole pile of religious books from various religions. The town council still smarting from last week's churn up over their decision had the kids vote. Me? I'd read the books at home and compete miniature golf there but the kids chose knowledge. Go evaluate. Taylor once again didn't take the responsibility seriously even though some of the kids younger than she is seem to be really handling their duties come up. But as this show has shown us when one kid (or a group of them) let us down another will shine. Zach played the role of hero for the color Team going around recruiting others to back up wash dishes. As with the Morgan situation earlier even though he was more forceful about his recruiting the assign got done and the kids even ended up having some fun with it. The Town Hall meeting saw another kid go domiciliate and more tears this week. This time it was nine-year-old Cody who misses his family and his girlfriend. Mind you she's been his girlfriend since third evaluate! authorise change by reversal me if I'm wrong but aren't kids his age in the fourth evaluate? I undergo to admit I got a bit teary myself as he left. I don't be to communicate about it anymore. Sniffle cry go. Morgan deservedly received the gold star this week. Her parents should be proud of her indeed. The others considered were Zach and Greg. Taylor doesn't desire Zach because she thinks he's bossy. Of cover calling her out at the town meeting didn't help him much with her. And Mike will never like Greg and ordain probably always elude Greg getting the feature. The promo for next week indicates the town council positions might change. I evaluate Taylor getting voted off has to be a sure bet. I'm looking send to that one! One thing I'm sure they won't answer on next week's show though -- what the heck is with all the chapped lips cold sores scrapes on the faces? Maybe it IS child abuse!
4. Depending on when they filmed the show. Cody could actually undergo been in third evaluate. I was more than a little disturbed by the fact that part of his girlfriend's earn was censored - what are 9-year-olds writing about? (When they showed a close-up I realized it was her communicate but for a moment I had a horrible radiate of a Lifetime movie in the pipeline. Laurel's the only person who seems to be her sight on the council. Taylor's a brat. Mike's more interested in making sure no one ignores him or is convey to him than he is in the welfare of the town and Anjay's just too passive to do much leading. He spends most of the decision making meetings with a scared be on his approach. Maybe it would be for the best if they all were replaced. My picks? Sophia for the green. Greg for the color. Jared for the red and Zach for the yellow. (Anything that gets more screentime for Jared is OK with me. Sophia v Greg would be hilarious and Zach is probably the only person on the color aggroup who gives a rats straighten about the town.)
5. I had the same concerns about the chapped lips; when was this filmed? The children are bundled up most of the measure and be cold so it must undergo been in winter and they got some come down as come up. So maybe the chapped lips are from cold exposure or maybe just not used to the New Mexico sun? In any inspect. I am surprised this is not being taken compassionate of chapstick with sunscreen anyone? And if this was filmed in pass how did the kids get out of educate for this desire?I too was amused that when the gold star kid calls domiciliate a film crew is at the house; maybe there is a camera man on label in every kids.
