Great Show,Ended too Soon
We seen many,that is,too many reality shows with older teenagers and adults,but we never see any with kids or young teenagers.And Kid Nation came to the rescue.For 40 days,40 kids took the challenge,to build the first ever 'Kid Nation' in the ghost town,Bonzana.They face many challenges along the way.They all divide up into four district teams,and have their own leaders.The district leaders make up the town council,and make the choices in what happen.
The teams much also do challenges,like races.But,heres' the other catch,if all four districts complete the challenges,then they will win one of two prizes,that they choose.If the four districts don't complete it (ex:3 complete it,1 doesn't),they don't win anything.But there is a higher hope,and something all the kids are excited for.Each week,one kid will be rewarded a gold star for their actions (ex:being very helpful,works hard,makes others feel better and laugh etc),all of which is decided by the council.And the gold star is worth it's weight in gold literally.Worth $20,000! But of course with every reality show,there will be fights,problems,conflict and struggles.And of course,the mot noticed thing,that many people talk about were the child labor problems and injury on the set.It has been reported that someone hurt their arm in one of the challenges,another got their face burnt from cooking oil,and three accidentally drank bleach.But they did get medical treatment.
Overall,this was an entertaining show,and many wish it was still around.Season 2 would have probably aired around September of this year.
score 5/10
