I watched a random video on the KN website (falsely advertised as a preview of next week's episode) and it turns out that Cody wanted to leave because he missed his wheelchair-bound brother. That is a much more compelling story than his serious long-term girlfriend. Why didn't it make the cut?
Also, I am going to keep a running tally of anytime a kid says "A man needs ___." So far, we have learned that A Man Needs Root Beer (Cody--episode 3) and that A Man Needs Meat (some kid--- episode 5). By process of elimination, we have learned that men/women/kids whose parents hate them enough to send them to Kid Nation do not need toothbrushes, basic first aid, mattresses, pizza, miniature golf, and political barbecues. I am seriously going to keep track of this.

It didn't make the cut because love of the sappy, romantic, long-term-girlfriend (at age 10?) variety is much more valued in our twisted, shallow society than the compassionate, humanitarian love of a little boy for his wheelchair-bound brother.
Abdul, good comment, but you're still annoying. Try harder.
Zach made the comment about how a man needs meat.
