I posted my opinions about some of the Pioneers on CBS' Kid Nation last week. One in particular was Greg. I have not liked him too much and I was nothing but honest about it when I mentioned him last week. I also said that he was working towards getting a "Gold Star" worth $20,000 and I mentioned that the best way for him to do that would be to show that he has some kind of connection with the other Pioneers. Not just to do physical work but, actually lend a shoulder to cry on when another Pioneer is down. Well, ask and ye shall receive. He did just that in this week's episode.
As I mentioned last week, this week was Re-election Time in Bonanza City. Each current Counsel Member can be challenged by anyone in their own District. Zach chose to challenge Taylor for the Yellow District's seat as Counsel Member. Each candidate made signs to post throughout Bonanza City and Markelle didn't take too kindly to the sign that Leila made for Taylor's campaign. So, Markelle took it down and started stomping on it on his pogo stick. Leila took offense and after a confrontation with Markelle, went back into her bunkhouse, crawled into her sleeping bag and started crying. Greg followed her in there and comforted her. Connection made, self-progress duly noted and the Counsel Members gave this week's Gold Star to him. He plans to set up a college fund with that $20,000 so, I really hope that, now that he has his reward, he continues to make a better man out of himself, rather than slip back into his bullying ways of the earlier Bonanza days.
