babyjax, i haven't seen a lot of the kids do much. they still only focus on a few kids. Taylor is such a character how can they not focus on her? i think she does work, just doesn't do dishes :-) i would be the same way and y'all could just bite me

Not one of the more exciting shows. The kids seem to be getting crabby.

This episode seemed way more scripted than previous ones. No Taylor makes it a very zzzzzzzzzzz show.

Yeah, boring show tonight. I don't like kids we've never seen before getting the gold star. I wish there was more even coverage. It's like...they introduce 3 new kids every week, and those will be the 3 finalists for that week's gold star. So predictable.

Jared reminds me of Charlie Brown.

I am glad the kids didn't reward Divan for the "entrepreneurship" she exhibited. She TOOK free food, and turned it into paid-food? Sophia seems so whiny, but she often is right. I admire her for calling people out on their crap, but I know it will only hurt her in her life if she keeps it up.

I am one person who is VERY happy we saw no Taylor this week. If she withered away and I never saw her again, it would be too soon.

I was disappointed at Greg's behavior toward Nathan, but at the same time, he nominated Nathan for the star. Greg strikes me as driven, and intolerant with others who do not measure up. He works hard, but needs to find a better way to motivate others.

Good to see they are recognizing the difference between genuinely deserving people, and people just going for the 20,000.

Interesting that not a single YELLOW has won a gold star. I know Zach would have won one, but now he can't. Wonder if anyone else will.....

PS - I forgot about how much I loved watching Jared walk like a pimp through town with his new clothes. It was hilarious!

Ditto what Juju said.

I can see why so many adore Jared. That scene with the new clothes was too funny. The scene with him and Divad was sweet, too. I don't know what Kelsey's problem was. What's wrong with competition? That's what makes prices come down.

I can also see why Divad's mother complained about the show. I imagine seeing a face with that many little burns on it would upset a mom, and I'm guessing she won't be winning a gold star, either. Campaigning for it was a mistake, but it was probably inevitable that someone would come up with that idea.

It was nice to see some new faces for a change. It always feels like there are more stories to be told there.

I find Alex absolutely adorable.

Sophia's pot of crap idea seemed a bit snooty to me. It was like "Let's see how low I can make these fools stoop for my amusement." Not to mention she wasted a can of food on it.

The Greg and Nathan thing felt scripted, especially when he was the only one to nominate Nathan and the council went along with it.

I'm glad the kids finally got some luxuries after always taking the responsible choices at the challenges. I liked the way the prizes both combined luxury and sacrifice, so either way they'd be getting something good. They made a smart decision.

I thought it was great that we actually got to see some "new kids" this episode.

I was happy and amazed that after Greg won the gold star, he still works hard for the town and that he was able to realize his mistake with Nathan and "man up" and nominate him.

I have a friend that home schools her kids and they are a little bit socially regressed. To see Nathan stand up and be assertive was great!

I was cheering Divad along in the beginning.. hey it was like a fast food moment.. "Mc Divad's "comes to Banaza City. You are to lazy to open a can of peaches or a pickle jar.. buy one from me !Like we when don't want to slap a hamburger patty together and fry it... we go to fast food( Wendys is my fav..LOL) Loved the idea. She lost me when she started self promoting way to much.

Ok I want to adopt Jared. He is just to loveable.
I have watched every season of Survivor , only 2 people out of twelve seasons has been able to make fire with out flint. This little huggable kid manages to make wood burning necklaces..Loved It!! Yeah he is the next Bill Gates!Lmao.. loved the Pimp walk!!!
I have been back and forth with Sophia.. but I have to say that was to funny! Yeah.. Bananza City meet Fear Factor! You know Sophia is a reality junkie to come up with that..what people will do for money..LOL

P.S I also love Alex and his single tooth! He is a sweetheart and maybe him and Jared will team up and one of them will earn a gold star! They both deserve it!

We did not see all of the nominations. There may have been several who nominated Nathan. And at least two of the council had spoken to him about working TOO hard, so they were very aware of how much he did.

I did not find the show boring at all and I loved seeing some of the other kids get profiled. It is inevitable that it works out like it has. As more kids step up and do things, the producers will feature them that week. With 38 kids and only one hour, there is no way they can show them all every week. And with the comps and the meetings and the time spent on the coucil, there is not much time to spread out among the others.

And let's face it, some of them are just more interesting than others. If a kid is just kind of there and does not do anything interesting to draw attention, he or she is going to be overlooked.

I find Greg facinating. He can be such a jerk and then turn around and be very sweet. As I said in an earlier post, he acts like a typical jerky big brother. Picks on the younger kids, but then turns around and is protective and supportive of them. I think he has a big heart

I think Greg is great. He's at that age where he's got one foot in childhood and the other in adulthood. Most of us were jerky at that age, but Greg has the capacity to recognize when he's been a jerk and to do something about it.

It's interesting that none of the older kids are on the council and don't seem to want to be, either.

I love Greg! He is a typical 15-year-old, but my is he a hard-worker! Every week I think how proud his parents must be of him, but when he was being so hard on Nathan (yup, big brother behavior for sure--and not the TV show!), my heart went out to the poor little guy crying in his bunk. I put myself in his mother's place and knew her heart must be breaking, watching this on TV.

I'm glad they recognize Nathan's contributions, but I hope Pharaoh keeps working hard and gets his gold star, too.

Actually we saw Taylor this week, being happy for the gold star winner, narrating in a very positive way a couple of segments. We just didn't get the negative.

And I liked that Mike spoke up in favor of the job the council is doing.
I don't think there is an actual "bad" kid in this bunch. In general they show a great amount of insight and they rebound from their own bad behavior.

If we put an equal number of adults in this same situation, we'd probably see as much or more bad behavior and much more manipulation and slacking too.

I liked the choice they made to reject the nice washers that wouldn't be available to the kids with less money.

The choice to spend the money on recreational items was pretty good. I did think they might have kept some around for future use (which actually would have allowed them to subsidize the expensive washers) but still I thought it seemed to be a big morale boost, so it was a good thing.

The talent show idea for next week's gold star should be interesting.
Jared is a great narrator too..

LOL Seamonkey I agree If we put an equal number of adults in this same situation, it would be brutal especially that many. Just look at BB it's a way smaller group and they can't all get along LOL
