I really, really don't want to see The Taylor Show again tonight. I was SO happy when they moved off that theme. How can they torture us and return to it AGAIN??? It wasn't that interesting of a story line the first time around.

Not a ton of surprises tonight

yes they withheld it and she did all the town dishes so they carried her in there to play.

I am sorry but I will NEVER believe that an 8 year old came up with
"I am gonna scrub those dishes as hard as I scrub my hair" on her own

anymore than I will ever believe that a 12 year old said, "Move over Clint Eastwood"

I wouldn't have said that at 12 and I am somewhat closer to the Clint generation.

I just asked my 12 yr old if he knew who Clint was and he had no idea.

but....he did say that maybe the kid watches a lot of old movies, which my son does not. So my son says that it is plausible.

LOL I cant believe my son just used the word plausible HEE

Stacey, you are off by a couple years on the kids.

Taylor is 10. Sophia is 14.

Sophia could very well be an old movie buff.

Sorry about the ages, and she very well could be, I have been an old movie buff my whole life. I still don't personally believe that either of those girls came up with those lines without coaching.

Sophia DID say she was a 30-year-old in a 14 year old's body. Perhaps she is familiar with old movies. Clint isn't THAT big a stretch. Plus, who knows, Dad could be a big fan, or the parents say "Go ahead...make my day" to them a lot, then they become familiar with Clint Eastwood.

Man, I DO NOT look forward to Sophia being a "sheriff". She's already too much for me to handle. She acts like such a killjoy.

I was really glad to see Hunter get the gold star. They've been leading up to it for a while now though. I would like to see Zach win too. I honestly think Zach is the best kid there (JMHO).

Ditto to everyone else's comments on the Taylor show.

Hello! Taylor is a classic case of "pay to play" behavior modification. That is why I said 60 days with me would produce an whole new model!

Ack! What a horrible reward to give those kids. They have a chance to be away from all those video games and now the games are handed over to them. It was not a hard reward challenge, almost failsafe. I think Sophia was smart.The library was a better choice. I am an old foggie though who grew up before video games.

I thought it was about time they had some fun. The arcade tests their ability to delay their gratification...just another life lesson. I thought I saw a jail early in the previews of the show. Now I no longer think I was seeing things. I bet Sophia starts rounding people up and thow the key away.

Don't they keep up with the dishes per meal? What a mess they leave.

I do not find it at all strange that these kids know about Clint Eastwood. His movies are still on the TV frequently and he is something of a cultural icon. Kids absorb more than we think sometimes.

What a whimpy move on the Council's part to have Sophia be the Sheriff! They have seen how hard disciplining the kids is and want the onus to fall on someone else!

You all very well could be right, I personally, that is me, don't buy it.

So much, that I today in my first high school class this morning, I asked them to name a famous celebrity sheriff from hollywood. All sophomores, 24 kiddos. 3 said Clint and 2 of those 3 said "Clint if you watch Kid Nation last night", and then got excited that the other one watched it.

For Sophie there are many possibilities with her personality. All can think what they want, me personally I felt that those two lines were fed to them.

The problem with your question though, Stacy, is that Clint Eastwood was not known as a famous sherriff, but as a famous tough guy.

I would have asked them if they had heard of Clint Eastwood . I bet more of them would have.

Speaking of famous old west lawmen, I heard a story (told as the truth) that a member of Congress once proposed a resolution honoring those famous lawman of the old west, Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickcock, and Matt Dillon. He was very embarrassed when he found out Matt Dillion was just a TV lawman and not the real thing. Not revelant to the discussion, just remembererd it and wanted to share.

I don't think of Clint Eastwood as a famous Hollywood sheriff. I can't even think of a movie in which he played a sheriff. Just asked Bigdog. He says in High Plains Drifter they tried to make Clint be sheriff but he gave the job to the midget.

I don't think he was a sheriff in Unforgiven either. I thought he was the bad guy in that one.

I always think of Clint Eastwood and guns as associated with the Dirty Harry movies. I thought Sophia was making Dirty Harry references when she blew the smoke off her imaginary guns. So, if she was the fed the line, it was not a good one, not a particularly apt analogy.

Of course, we do have the writer's strike right now, so maybe she was fed an inappropriate line ...

But all that aside, I do think the kids are being fed lines too, just maybe not that one.

Clint was deputy sheriff in Coogan's Bluff, but that movie doesn't seem at all something a 14 year old would know. Heck, I saw it for the first time myself just a few months ago, and I thought I had seen all of Clint's movies prior to that.
