Conspiracy Theories

This episode was even more unbelievable than the normal level of ridiculousness I have come to expect from the Kid Nation producers.

Why couldn't the TC be back in time for the challenge? They got one crappy piece of advice from those fake Native Americans; there was no need to stay as long as they did. Also, Sheriff Sophia was clearly a plot-furthering device. I hate being lied to by children's programming.

Most importantly, I think the reward challenge was fixed. According to the on-screen clock, all 4 teams took 20 minutes to carry their roofs. The leading teams took 20 more minutes to carry the walls and then it seemed like they were moving almost as slowly with the alpaca, chickens, etc. Yellow finished the house with only two minutes left but still got everything done in time. I don't buy it! FIXED.

I have other conspiracy theories too but I have to go do a conference call. Having a kid nation blog is harder if you are an adult!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Where did those goats come from? And since when is an alpaca a pioneer necessity? Will that BCity monument be buried with the miniature golf course and the real laundry machines? I have lots of unanswered questions, as always.

I would like to state for the record that Kid Nation II needs to have all the younger siblings of this season's kids. Alex's brother is even cuter than Alex!! And you know that Jared's sister (author of that epic letter) will be just as entertaining as him. Didn't DK mention 6 siblings? Bring them all! I can't wait.

My favorite moment in this episode was when the kids were all arguing about the reward choice and suddenly the camera cut to Pharoah just saying "AHHHHHHHHH." I think he added a lot to the discourse.
