This week's Kid Nation was a blast to watch! Sophia decided to see how far some of the Pioneers would go to get .50 cents. She made a disgusting concoction from old and rotting food which she used to cover money that she put in the bottom of the bucket. Then she told some of the Pioneers that there was money in there and they were welcome to it if they were willing to dig for it with their bare hands.
Several of the Pioneers dug in and Sophia's comment was priceless: "People never fail to entertain me! They do the darnedest things!"
Greg both lost sight and regained it again. He got his $20,000 Gold Star from the counsel just 2 weeks ago (which was really only a few days in real time in Bonanza City) and he was already making an Ass out of himself and being really cruel to Nathan. But, he showed his ever evolving character by later apologizing to Nathan and nominating Nathan to receive this week's Gold Star. I can't get a grip on that kid. I just hope that he continues to show improvement with less slip ups in character.
Jared cracked me up! He made necklaces out of wood and used a magnifying glass to burn words and sayings into them, then sold them for 2 buffalo nickels each. He managed to sell $2 worth and was able to go on a spending spree. He bought new threads and walked around Bonanza City all pimped out. He was strutting his stuff! So cute!
Devad didn't fool anyone! She took unprepared food which is free to everyone in Bonanza City. The Pioneers don't have to pay for their meals. Only toys, clothes, soda and candy. So, Devad was taking unprepared food, preparing it and selling it at her "Snack Shack" and she had the nerve to toot her own horn about how hard she works preparing snacks for people to buy. She was saying that she does a lot of work and is willing to do anything that she is asked to do. Greg heard her saying this and asked her to go get a bucket of water for the dishes and she was too busy making potatoes for her Snack Shack. So, let's recap. She just said that she would do anything people asked her to do...but not what people asked her to do unless it involves her Snack Shack? She truly believed that she deserved the Gold Star and, thank God, the Counsel Members could see right through what she was doing.
They also saw through Pharoah's attempt to work hard to get the Gold Star. They are good at noticing when people are working to get something as opposed to those Pioneers who have been working since day one. So, they awarded the Gold Star to Nathan! They appreciated his efforts since day one in Bonanza City and I was glad to see that they pay so much attention! They have done a good job of handing out the Gold Star to the most deserving Pioneers!
