OK, how stupid was it that the hot air balloons just flew over the fake town? What kind of great prize is that? Not that great if you ask me. How about some better scenery? Re: the other reward choice--- the monument is worthless because it would be in the middle of the desert in a fake ghost town and no one would ever see it (unless they happened to be taking one of those thrilling five minute balloon rides). And it was kinda small. Monuments should be giant (shoutout to the Lincoln memorial). Worst reward choices ever! But I guess if these ingrates are going to abandon previous prizes (locking the arcade, probably not brushing their teeth, NEVER reading the bibles, etc.) then I don't feel too sorry for them.
All I have to say about Sophia's plot of land experiment is that it was so funny that she was defending her land by sitting on a stool wielding a broom (see above photo). Bonus points for the creative weapon choice. She should have gotten a quick lesson about homesteading from Jared before that stunt. He could've helped her beef up her argument.
I am less impressed with Alex's knowledge of linguistics and carbon dating (and the word "paradox") than I am with the fact that he understands the true value of $20,000. That kid rules! May his children and grandchildren enjoy that money!
Oh, I really liked that scene where the yellow team girls were trying to one-up each other with their injuries. I think Leila said her back hurt and then Taylor said her finger was broken. Not to be outdone, that other girl said that it felt like her knee was cut off. Random girl for the win!
Memo to Zach: this is Kid Nation, not 60 yo man nation. Stop acting like someone's wacky grandpa. Quit singing. Quit talking in weird whispery voices.
p.s. i am going to post again tmw with some conspiracy theories!!
