Taylor remained her true self all the way to the end. She also succeeded in making the 2 other girls appear to be headed for roles in Mean girls.

I'm glad Sophia got the other star. She's one of my faves along with Laurel. I don't get why Morgan got another star or why Migle got one at all. Did we ever see Migle do anything? I don't remember. It doesn't matter anyway cuz at least Taylor didn't get any. Yippee for that.

I felt bad for the current council members because I felt Greg deserved a 50K gold start and Michael deserved one as well and apparently, they were not considered. Greg may have been rough at times but he really did a lot in that town. Watching him and Blaine carry DK to the center of town at the end of the showdown was very cool.

DK seemed to be on his feet again when his parents showed up few minutes later.

Brenda, thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't sure what he'd said about how the stars were to be decided. I knew he'd pointed out that some of the hardest workers had already won stars, and I knew he'd said the third star could go to anyone they wanted regardless of how hard they worked. I hadn't caught the part about the third one having to be someone new and the other two having to be former gold star recipients. All in all, it worked out okay enough I guess.

I don't think Taylor made those other little girls look mean. They seem to be very good at it all on their own. This is probably why they bonded in the first place. Unfortunately, they did some of their bonding in the chicken coop where Emilie spent a lot of her time, so she probably thought she was accepted in their clique.

Sophia was def most deserving of the $50k star, imo. Her work ethic had a profound influence on the town. No one else was indispensable, imo.

I also loved how she never sought a council position - wasn't after power or glory

And I love how the council put in her charge when they were gone. They clearly had complete confidence in and respect for her... I think that says a lot coming from 4 boys lol :-)

I think DK said something about his legs just giving ut. He was just temporarily weak, not injured. He probably overdid it while they were working to bury the trash.

I kept hoping all through the show that Greg would take off that dumb looking hat but he never did. What was with that anyway?

I am glad that Sophia won the $50K gold star too. I would be happy with anyone that won it. Sophia did work hard all the time even after she won the $20K. It says a lot for the parents

I found Sophia to be antagonistic toward others. A lot of things she did showed a real lack of respect for others. Putting money in a vat of goop, just to amuse herself? Claiming a piece of land and pushing people out of it? Sorry, I don't think she had much respect for others, and that will bite her in the butt later in life.

Plus, when one is SO vocal to criticize, but never tries to step up and lead....that says someting to me too. She'd rather sit back and complain about what others are doing. Sure, she did the "sheriff" job when she was asked/appointed, but that was never her ambition. She preferred being antagonistic.

I also hated her constant use of the word Nazi to describe people's behaviors that she didn't like. To me, that shows a real lack of respect for what the real holocaust people went through.

Sorry, I found Sophia to be an all around sour-acting person.

Did anyone notice the somewhat distant or cool response Sophia had towards her mother when she arrived? It stood out me that she hardly showed any emotion when being first joined back with her mother, & seemed to show a lot more emotion when receiving the $50K gold star, than the reception of her mother. It made me wonder what the dynamics are of their relationship in their home.

Kellsma I agree, Greg contributed a great deal to that experience & I would have liked to have seen him receive a $50K gold star too.

Allietex, maybe Greg kept his hat on throughout the whole show to distinguish himself from the other long wavy/curly hair boys, i.e. Michael & Blaine, LOL. Otherwise it would have been very difficult for me to tell them apart, I would of had to strain a little, LOL j/k. Maybe it was for sentimental reasons or something, or maybe just his own style or identity...you know how teenagers can be.

Oh, I thought that Zach and Lauren deserved the 50 k more than Greg. Greg scared a lot of the kids most of the time. I'm glad he got the 20k star though.

I was cringing when I watched how they tore that town apart after ending the government. So proud of Zack and DK for not participating.

Gosh, I didn't see Sophia being disrespectful to others. I saw her finding ways to test human nature and to amuse herself. The kids willingly put their hands in goop for the prize of money! Shows us a lot about human nature or greed.

I also liked her experiment about roping off a piece of dry land and how suddenly everyone would feel the need to walk on it, simply because they had been told not to. How kid-like is that urge, how natural is it? Very!

She didn't just complain, I think she had ideas and things she contributed to make it work and when others wouldn't do it (like cook breakfast) she did it herself. I didn't see her sitting back at all.

Honestly, I didn't notice a cool response when her mom came but I did notice how happy all the kids seemed to be and I even commented to a friend that I don't think I would have been so happy to see my parents at age 13-15. Remember what those pre-teen years are like?! No way would I have been running up, crying to my mom. No way, no how. I was too cool for that. LOL. And my parents were too annoying.

Forgot to say that I too was disappointed no one on the council got a chance at the 50K gold stars. I think Gregg was very deserving of one.

I thought the last show was great. I loved the scene with the parents and the kids running towards each other. How often are you going to see something like that. The kids have impressed me with their ability to get along and work together.After going wild and grabbing food and supplies when the rules were dropped, they all seemed to be sorry they had done it the next day. I was crying along with kids with the family reunions and the good byes. This was a good show. It deserves a $20,000.00

LOLLLLLLLLLL Brenda @ too cool for that! Very true, I do rememeber those years and wouldn't have been caught dead crying and running to my mom. LOL. Her reaction just stood out to me tho and made me wonder what it's like in their home. Nothing good, nothing bad; just curiousity.

Did anyone get a good look at Taylor's mom? I was trying to see her, but never got a good look, just a flash of some hair or something like that. I was distracted during the show so I may have missed it, if anyone saw her, what did she look like?

The kids all seemed to approve that Sophia won one of the big gold stars.

Before the council came back, she apologized to anyone that she might have offended by her bossiness.

One of the kids suggested she deserved it but she shook her head and said, "I have my gold star."

She was chosen by four young boys who had at times been critized by her and could have chose anyone else.

When they announced her name, all of the kids cheered and none of them looked surprised unlike when the other two one. Not unhappy about them, but a little surprised. Not so with Sophia.

I wish that as the last thing they would have given everyone a $1000. gold star just for making it that far. I know they got the $5000. as a stipend, but think what a nice surprise it would have been, and in their budget a drop in the bucket.

I loved the expression on Morgan's Dad's face when Greg so graciously said they thanked him for allowing them to enjoy Morgan's company. He asked him how old he was and when Greg said 15, he said "Wow!"

I do think Sophia deserved her second star, although I also agree that she tended to have a patronizing attitude toward the others. I believe she'll grow out of that. She reminds me of some of the girls I had classes with in school. They live and learn. She still worked the hardest, so she certainly deserved the star in the eyes of the other kids.

It would've been nice if she had chosen to take a leadership position since she seemed to handle it well when she was sheriff. I think there were probably a couple of reasons why she didn't that had nothing to do with not wanting to step up. First, she was doing a ton of work already. No matter what class she was put in, she continued to work in the kitchen in addition to whatever her other duties would've been. Second, she was in Laurel's district and she asked everyone during the first election if there was any point in running against Laurel. They said they wouldn't vote for anyone but Laurel, so nobody bothered to run until that last election where Michael ran on the spur of the moment.

Loved that exchanged with Greg & Morgan's dad too :-)

Taylor's mom was blonde. She looked rather 'normal' imo ... pretty, but didn't look as much like Taylor as I would have expected.

It was wonderful to see Zach win a gold star.

I don't think Sophia showed a lack of emotion towards her mother. I think she just started to feel sad about leaving. You could see her sadness at the party - Laurel as well.

I'm gonna miss those gosh darn pioneers.
