Karen, they are on Day 25 I think so that would mean 5 more gold stars to get passed out and 5 more episodes to get to 40 days. I hope they have some type of reunion show to interview the kids and ask them what they got out of the experience.

Actually, I think Laurel (as part of the judges/council) for the talent/goldstar couldn't participate herself in the talent show. Sure, she was fantastic but would have thrown the final decision off kilter. Seemed a little 'off' (scripted) that the youngster asked for her to sing and the host guy pushing her to pursue it. Loving this show, even though it seems seriously scripted. Sure hoping that they give some BIG gold stars (AKA $Big Bucks$) to the council members (particularly with the new members) which are so much more effective.

Altho, in all fairness, Laurel needed to be allowed to showcase her singing abilities. Just in case she wishes to pursue later Acting situations (not being somewhat penalized merely because she was on the council as one of the judges). I think Laurel is one of the most compassionate and mature kids in that town. Only fair to let HER sing on national TV too.

It was really nice of...was it DK?...to ask Laurel to sing. I'm sure these kids are aware of the opportunity they've been given to show off their talents with all these cameras around. It was sweet of him to throw her a spotlight so she wouldn't be left out. After living together this long it's probable that at least some of the kids knew she had a good voice and wanted to make sure she got to perform in a scene they knew would make the show. It's also possible that the host asked that question to give everyone a chance to be showcased. Perhaps there were even other kids who did something at the town hall meeting and were edited out for time. Then again, it's also likely that Laurel sang at her audition so the producers knew she had a good voice. These scenes do feel a bit manipulated at times.

I can't believe that none of the kids/host can get Taylor to do anything. They need a little time out corner, or something like a separate room for her until she comes to her senses. Nothing fazes her. The producers need to write in the 'town journal' something about no work - no stay. She is not a productive member of the town and that Leila has become just as snotty acting after being around her. They are unbearable to watch. When Taylor kicked the water over, I wish they would have dumped some water on her. She needs a wakeup call. I thought she was so cute at the beginning the show, but no longer. I can only wonder what her parents are thinking as they watch her. Wow..Laurel is quite a gal. What a beautiful voice. She is acting very mature.

Curlyq said: It was really nice of...was it DK?...to ask Laurel to sing. Checking back on the pictures (plus watching a 2nd time) yes, I believe it was DK that asked Laurel to sing. He has been one of my favorites since the very beginning. Think I prefer YOUR impression that "It was sweet of him to throw her a spotlight so she wouldn't be left out." I shouldn't be so cynical, knowing how these Reality Producers 'game' us. Can't tell you how happy I was when DK won the Gold Star, sweated bullets (both my Sister & me!) when he almost left before getting the prize. Truly deserving kid who STILL makes a positive difference in that little town.

Somebody earlier gave a website for the talent show. Tried twice and couldn't get it to load. Here's a YouTube site (still waiting for my dialup to load it, frankly) an 8 minute tube. Just in case anyone is interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB4rPLJph-Q

I don't remember anything said about a council election. I remember them saying that the kids are going to be getting mixed up a bit, switch some kids in the districts.

Laurel needs to be proud, because even though they went all that time without winning first place, most of the gold star winners came from her green team.

The election happened a few shows ago and Mike and Taylor lost their postions on the council. I like the people who took their places.

I guess we'll find out on Wednseday because it looked to me like the previews showed they would shuffle the kids around between groups and that the kids were not happy that some of them would be reassigned (and who can blame them now that they've bonded with their teams).

Well, hopefully some of the kids who already have gold stars will step up and run for council now. Who better to run for council than the kids who've been designated Bonanza City MVP's? Some of those older kids who complain about how things are run can try their hand at it. I would be interested to see how Sophia and DK would handle things.

I would like to see Greg and Sophia both on the council. It is always interesting to see how people who have voiced their displeasure in how things are run, do when it is their turn. Zach stepped up and has done much better than Taylor. I would love to see what these two could do.

I read the recaps on CBS.com and it says there are only 5 gold stars left. Does anyone know where I can watch the preview for this week, I went on to the CBS site but it does not have the previews separated out and I don't want to watch the entire episode again.

Cricket the previews showed another, new election next show. Oh, thank you, Madelane. Sorry, I missed that. Seems awfully soon to have a new council doesn't it? Or..maybe only to me because I watched 5 episodes at one time, lol. I hope they change the districts first and then have the new elections. It might make for different people choosing to run. I think Sophia might run if she's in a new district. I'd like to see her on the council.

Wow. That was a good shakeup. Not so much with the swapped district members, but with the town meeting. Laurel fell off her pedestal, even with her own people. I'm so glad DK raised his hand, and I have a feeling Guylan may have been as well. It sounded like he didn't really want the job anymore. I'm not sure what kind of job Greg would do, but I would like to see Anjay put out of his misery. How funny that Greg was so angry about Blaine leaving while Blaine seemed to be pleased with it. If I were Anjay I would've wished I could trade myself to another district. Nobody there shows him any respect. I don't understand the attitude of the red team. They behaved horribly when they should've been thrilled because Guylan traded a lazy girl with a bad attitude for a boy who works harder than everyone else. I could understand the blue team being mad about getting Emily, but the red team had no reason to act the way they did. Laurel will probably stay on the council. I was hoping Sophia would finally put her money where her mouth is and run. Speaking of Sophia, I don't know what exactly she said to Guylan, but it would've been nice if her apology had been as public as the humiliation she caused him. The apologies and warm moments on this show are starting to feel orchestrated. I know this show was supposed to be about how these kids would handle a town without adults in charge, but what they seem to be proving is that without adults in charge the kids show no respect for anyone. They slack off, cuss each other out, gang up on each other, and threaten to punch each other. No wonder there are still kids wanting to leave with only 12 days left.

It was an ugly show tonight. No one really behaved themselves. Laurel didn't choose to "play the game". It was lame that only 3 switched up...fairly boring, for my tastes. Next week looks better. And another one goes home...
