There just is never enough time for all the goodness KN has to offer. As such, the deleted scenes are a MUST. Check out this week's gold star nominations:
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/kid_nation/video.php?mode=episodes&episode=10&showid=170441&autostart=1 At the end of the episode on Wednesday, one of the Councilmen said, "We thought hard about giving it to nobody!" And I thought, wow, what a dick move that would have been! But then, after seeing this clip, a bunch of people actually suggested that nobody get it (notably, Campbell and Olivia, among others). Have the kids of KN lost their shiny gold-star worthiness?
You know I've never had a problem with Laurel. She seems like a pretty good kid, notwithstanding her "12 going on 38"ness. But did she really deserve the gold star? No (and I say this with full knowledge that Colton voted for her). It was a consolation prize. But here is where Kid Nation meets Survivor--it was strategy. She's clearly still got the Green District wrapped around her little finger and the Council needed to make peace with her, while Hunter gets slighted yet again. Maybe the boys on the Council have learned that you catch more flies with sugar than honey--aka--bribe Laurel as opposed to harassing the Town women.

I would've given it to Hunter so he could buy more guns for his baby brother, but in Laurel's defense, I think that it just seems like she didn't deserve it b/c the editors didn't pull the usual "focus on the kid that gets the gold star starting from the ten minute mark" routine, probably b/c we already know everything about laurel. I thought her mom was adorable btw. Also, I just closed my door at work so I could watch kid nation deleted scenes. what is wrong with me? Leila voted for nobody too! You may not recognize her when she isn't crying. I totally agree with your bribe laurel theory btw.

Thanks for leading me to the deleted scenes. Notice how the unpopular kids think the gold star should go to nobody.
