I am a star. (Well, in my mind, anyway.)

Roxi, I do okay with this show until the gold star winner gets to call home. I can't help putting myself in the shoes of those parents, imagining getting a call from DS who'd been away from home (kills me even to think about it!). DS won't even sleep in his own room (he's still on the floor in our room). Neither of us can imagine him going away even for one night!

I do hope Mike gets over his grudge against Greg, cause I think he deserves a gold star, too. He's a teenager, so of course he's not perfect, but he has worked hard and helped out a lot. I'd like to see him rewarded for his efforts. Doesn't matter a jot if he's only working for the star--he's still working and contributing. He said a few weeks ago he'd like to have that money for college. It would mean a lot to him and his family.

Some of these kids are incredible, and their families must be so proud of them. Little Alex and his religious survey was awesome. He seemed very respectful and knowledgable about the differences between and among religious beliefs (ie. Shiite and Sunni Muslims). What a bright little boy, and cute as a bug, too!

Taylor needs to be removed from the council. I was wondering if the yellow team could have their "pay" withheld, since most of them have done nothing to earn it.

And I'm sorry, but little Jared is a strange little boy.

OMG, finally someone said what I have been thinking since the first eppy, that Jared is a strange little boy. In fact too strange and odd, hopefully this will help him to interact with other children and be accepted for his little quirks of strangeness.

I was just looking at the chart at the top and I didn't realize that only girls have gotten gold stars. Well, I hope a boy gets one next and I hope its Greg.

Twinkie, Michael got a much deserved gold star.

Babyjaxmom, yep, the phone call is what gets me the most. I could not have let my daughter leave me to do the show when she was that age. Heck, she just finished college, turned 22 and I"m still begging her to take her time in moving out.

Michael got a gold star - but in that picture, he does look like a girl!

I just checked the overnight prelims from the last ep. It only includes live viewing and first night DVR watching for 18-49.



"ABC started the night in the lead with a 3.6 at 8 p.m. for “Daisies,” followed by NBC with a 3.1 for “Deal or No Deal,” the network's best rating in the slot in 10 months. CW was third with a 2.5 for “America’s Next Top Model,” Fox fourth with a 2.3 average for “You” (2.2) and “Death” (2.4), CBS fifth with a 2.0 for “Nation” and Univision sixth with a 1.o for “Amar sin Limites.”"

I am wondering if they are concerned with Greg getting a gold star and then "retiring".

I wonder that too, WWB.

Oh, and speaking of gender identification - Guylan is a boy, right? Not that it matters ...

I love Jared too. He reminds me of a few of my Asperger kiddos. Not trying to start any rumors I have not heard anything. He just has that certain quirkiness and I love it.

All kids are wonderful in their own special way but I was happy to see I wasn't the only one who thought Jared was strange. It wouldn't take long for him to get on my nerves. But, then, it doesn't take long for most kids to get on my nerves.

I don't want to start any rumours myself, but Colton gives me the chills, as he exactly mimics the behaviours of my worst childhood bullies. Being mean to animals and trying to dominate the kids around him...it really bothers me.

Yep. I saw that too. This show has brought a lot of questions to my mind about these kids and their parents.

Generally speaking much of the American public are more comfortable when their heroes and villains are nicely evident. Having a hero with some bad qualities and a villain with certain good points complicates things and it makes for a longer story.

One thing that the producers seem to do with reality shows is they create a story using the simpler format. The story usually involves "good" and "bad" characters and people with certain characteristics. They only have one hour a week to show this so they keep it simple and consistent.

That troubles me slightly because a reality show involves real people and not characters but I always think to myself that these people are adults and they know what it is all about and what they are getting into.

However, it really troubles me with kids who will undoubtedly have to deal in some way with people critiquing their every move on this show.

I just started watching this yesterday online. I'm so glad I did! It is really cute. I love the kids, and it gives me extra motivation to want to have one (of my own), which is good.

Sharinia, turn off the tv NOW and do not slowly walk away ~ RUN before that feeling gets too strong.

How about one of these:

I had three grandchildren here last night (ages 3, 5 and 6). I've had enough kids for a while.

Finally got around to watching the *Bless us* episode. Won't rehash the heroes and villians editting, I've already piped in on that. Gotta wonder if Cody would have left if he wasn't on the team that was getting bashed by the other kids (mostly for good reason). Taylor seems to be attracting a lot of negative attention, that has to wear on the other kids that are stuck with her.

Couple of really insightfull remarks were made about religion. The one asking how just being in the same room with people of a different religion while they worship is so threatening. Secondly, the kid who commented on how people who use the rationale that putting people of different faiths in one room always results in trouble is usually one of the people who will cause the trouble. LOL These really are bright and interesting children.

I can't feel real sorry for the kids on the yellow team for getting the negative attention along with Taylor. If they would do like the one little boy, can't remember his name, and get off their buns and do their jobs, then only Taylor would get the bashing. They are responsible for their own actions. If they would all just leave her to herself and so what they need to, she might straighten up too. There is strength in numbers.

Can't wait to see if Taylor gets booted off the town council tonight! If so, she may choose to go home. I hope she doesn't leave, but that she is knocked off of her own perceived pedestal.
