Laurel and Taylor have been the only girls on council. I wish Olivia had won the last time they had an election - I would've liked to see how she would've done since she always seemed to be criticizing Anjay.

I think you're talking about Hunter. I haven't really noticed him up until this episode so I don't really care either way at this point. It'd be funny if the star, yet again, went to someone in the Green District. They sure are cleaning up!

I think Laurel deserved the star for being a good council member but I can't stand her. She seems so annoying to me.

I don't like how the council went about confronting the Green District, but I don't like the Green District. They do come off as thinking that they are better than everyone IMO.

I don't know what to think about Greg... I spent most of the show really liking him but, I don't know. I think deep down he's a really good person. I hope he cleans up his act, because I believe if he wasn't so violent he could be a really good leader.

Michael... I'm pretty eh on him too. If he didn't like the game he should have said something. I found it pretty lame that after he went to his district and basically bashed Greg and Blaine. I personally didn't think the game was that stupid and could have taken like a half a hour if people stopped talking, its just that with Greg leading it, it seemed really stupid.

Blaine makes me laugh, a lot.

I didn't really expect DK to act the way he did this episode.

**fallenangel007** · 11-23-2007, 01:15 PM

I agree sometimes Greg is very sweet but he just comes off rude when he really isn't trying to be. he is just a very loud and outspoken guy. Earlier in the season he was very sweet to the younger ones and they looked up to him.

Michael is just scared of Greg,Blaine, and Dk. And i can understand that. they do come off as these tough guys.I am glad he did end up sticking up for himself

I really hope some of the younger kids can get the star, its been mostly the older ones, i would like the 8-9 year old to get it too.

I thought it was sweet of them to give the letter to taylor, it would of been so mean if they didn't even though she didn't derserve it but the letter is something so important that if they didn't give it to her it would of just been sad.

I think Laurel just comes off as been better then a lot of them but she did the best out of the council.

they only have 11 days left right? so about 3-4 espisodes left

Well, they kind of are seeing as how they've won the majority of gold stars so far.

I do know what you mean though. They come off as thinking they're so much more superior than everyone else. I do think they work very well as a district and you can't really say the same about the others.

I've liked Greg for most of the season too and I still think he's a good guy deep down. He just needs to control his anger and temper and learn to lower his voice.

The talking game thing was lame and I think it would've been no matter who was on council. But it seemed even lamer when the people leading the exercise are the worst communicators and rudest people there.

Hi all.

KN may be my favorite reality show this season. I thought watching a whole bunch of young kids would grate on my nerves, but I have been surprised.

My favorite on the show is Laurel. She excels at relationship building and getting people to do what she wants, even if they don't realize it. She also seems sweet but not afraid to stick up for what she believes in. And I love her singing voice.

I also like Greg. The show sets him up to look like a bully, and I've definitely cringed when he's completely lost his temper. But before I can start hating him, he shows signs of being a softie.

I really thought that I would hate this show too, but I actually like it.

rockchick5791 · 11-26-2007, 06:30 PM

Ok I really like both greg and blaine. I was pretty pissed that they got split up cuz they're like brothers, but it turned out good because Blaine won the gold star and was able to find his own place in Bonanza City. I think greg just gets frustrated with the younger kids trying to act all superior to him all the time, I know I would (and I'm about his age lol).

The communication game was a really good idea, I think. Greg didn't lead it in the best way (especially how he reacted to natasha's interruption-it was a little of an immature response to an immature action from her) but it would have been SO quick if people had just LISTENED to eachother, which was one of the biggest problems

I really like taylor too, I think she's a good kid and she knows what she has to do. She reminds me of myelf kinda when I was about her age, just really stubborn lol

. I was thinking "omg if thy don't give her the letter i'm gonna go slap em all!" because i think it would've been both really cruel and just another reason for her to want to go home.

Welcome Judy!

Greg and Blaine (especially Blaine) can be alright a lot of the times. I enjoy seeing Greg interact with the younger kids especially when he does stuff like put them on his shoulders. But the way he yells at people and is rude to everyone is not something I enjoy seeing. Pulling up chairs in the middle of town and berating the Green District was just uncalled for and so rude.

Taylor can be alright too but I just hate that she refuses to pitch in with the work at times. She's better now that she's not on the council though.

abw92 · 12-01-2007, 10:26 AM

I'm glad Hunter got the star. I'm not a fan of Sophia, so we'll see what happens there.

Toxic Kisses · 12-02-2007, 05:28 PM

"I got money on this game" LMFAO! Why are we just starting to see Blaine? He's hilarious!

Glad Hunter got the star, he deserved it. Now I hope the last two gold stars get spread out between the other districts.

SR2 · 12-02-2007, 06:55 PM

i really like this show. though i don't think it follows the concept of Lord of the Flies.

I really like all of the Kids, though sometimes i am disappointed/annoyed by some of their behaviors.

But if I had to pick fav. it would be Michael and Sophia. I have liked Michael since the begin but i just loved him in the ep Let Me Talk. I really respect the fact that he owned up to being intimidated of the other boys but that he wasn't going to be any more. There aren't a lot of Kids (or adults) who would do that.

as for Sophia I just think she is a young woman who understands who she is, what she wants and where she is going. And that is more than what i knew at 14; i was still following the crowd.

The last ep was ok but I felt like it could have been an ep from much earlier in the season. I felt like there wasn't much progress in this ep.

The new council is really blah to me. we have only seen them in power for 2 ep. but i don't think they stand out in any way other than being all boys and the oldest. But i hope they will wow us next ep.

I wished they had shown us what Michael did for his b-day; mostly b/c i was totally confused as to why his confessional/interview said he was 15. (I had forgotten about him mentioning that he was going to be turning 15 in the ep before this one) When i look at the first ep of KD Michael looks more like 12 than 14. Though he has 'grown' somewhat in my eyes.
I also can't believe Zach was only 10. I seems a little older to me for some reason.

Anyways i really like the show and i can't wait till next week. Sophia the sheriff; It's going to be great.

I really hope they have some type of a reunion ep, i want to know how they feel about seeing themselves on tv and what they learned about their selves and the world around them.

Moochie · 12-04-2007, 12:44 PM

I'm glad Hunter got the gold star too. You could almost rename the green district as the gold district.

I really like Sophia and I could relate to her saying she's a 30 year old trapped in a 14 year old's body. I hope she does well as sherriff this week.

I'm glad Taylor finally pitched in with the dishes and got to take part in the arcade reward. Sometimes she's adorable and other times, she makes me want to tear my hair out!

**fallenangel007** · 12-07-2007, 12:02 AM

i am sooooo glad that alex got the gold star. he is such a cutie!
