You know, frankly, I don't know what to say about last night's Kid Nation. The most interesting part was Taylor kind of melting down and yelling at people to "deal with it" every time an unpopular decision was made. And even though it was "interesting," it was not pleasant.

Then kids turned on her at town council and told her she hadn't been pulling her weight and that, in combination with her yelling at them, had frustrated them. She cried and apologized.

There was also a twister strong enough to knock over all the outhouses (and I bet the parents were thrilled to see that -- and that a bunch of the kids ran outside during it to assess the damage).

Oh, I nearly forgot the beginning of the episode, which featured all the kids running rampant all over the saloon, looking like it was a keg party out of control, except that there was no alcohol. But the kids were dropping "shots" into root beer and chugging it like car bombs, and the overall effect was pretty disconcerting.

Next week, it looks like the totally contrived pioneer journal stirs up religious differences. Surely that will be handled with subtlety and grace.
