My new favorite kid on Kid's Nation is without a doubt Colton. Check out his bio:
Reasons I Love Colton:
1. He doesn't give a shit. While most of the greedy little grubbers are out there trying to get that gold star, he is out there to be a kid. He filled his jacket with flour and ran around letting it fly out the sleeves (I wish there was a youtube on this but there isn't). Brilliant. But it's not like he tries to be naughty. I think it just comes naturally to him. Also check out his bio above. Most kids did 4 different surveys on a bunch of topics. Colton does one.
2. He's focused. This rough and tumble kid answered 12 questions for his bio. 8 of his answers had to do with football (if you count PE as football related, which I do) and the other four he probably couldn't work football into (ex. "What are your political views?"). He wants to be a football player and it is all-consuming. How often do you see that kind of determination in an 11 year old? PS I also like that he is the only one who doesn't want to be an engineer or biochemist or world leader, or something equally boring for a little kid to want to be.
3. He gets stuff done. How many Yellow Team kids caught a sheep? ONE. Colton caught all three sheep. Taylor and her posse better start sucking up to him---I'm thinking he's going to be a power player later (decided lack of a gold star notwithstanding).
4. There are about a million more reasons but I have to work now.
