In the begining the town concil would read the journal and it said to kill live stock and the council agreed to kill tyhe chicken. Emily did not think they should kill chickens so she locked her self in the chicken coop till they said no but the concil talked to her and she let them kil the chickens. They would eat the chickens. I think Emily took handled the situation like a 2 year old because she was not mature and I thought they picked mature people to be on kid nation if that were so she would not be on show.moreless

I love Kid Nation this one of the best epeisodes that they ever made. I think it was awsome to watch Greg kill the chickens. It was cool to watch the chickens die, because of the reflex. Although I felt sorry for the green team because that was second time they became the labors. Even though now they are known as the gold team because Michel, Sophia, Morgan, and Kenady all won gold stars. I most deifently think people should watch this epeisode. Man I can not wait to watch the newest epeisode of Kid Nation. I am like in love with watching Kid Nation.moreless

My 13 year old son watched the first two episodes with keen interest. He was totally hooked by the mix of personalities that more to offer than Simpsons & Family Guy with a bit of reality/history/survival mixed in. Great start!!moreless

The tasks that are before them are manageable and not life threatening. It's doubtful a major network would allow any harm to happen. The little dramas of the kids efforts to survive, deal with one another, to learn to work as a team were entertaining but educational. It can be an eye opener that kids can be that self-reliant and manage as well as they are!!. The reality of the efforts that it takes to live in such a harsh place was captivating by my son. It has more teachable moments to offer to "tweens" than most other shows that entertain him. (Simpsons, Family Guy, etc.) Applause all around for showing that drumsticks really don't come from KFC or the local supermarket. Where do I sign him up for the next season??moreless

Taylor needs a reality lesson.

Her whole attitude needs adjustment, she may get away with her attitude at home, but thinking that in the real world being a princess only gets you so far.
I liked the episode but Taylor needs to be voted off the council and if possible made to work. Not wanting to get out of bed because it is cold when other people are counting on you to do your job is unfair to the rest of the kids.
She is spoiled and needs to be sent to her room without dinner until she makes it for the other kids.
I am sorry, but she is annoying and needs a reality check.moreless

to kill the chicken or not to kill it....

In this episode of Kid Nation the town debates over whether or not they should kill the chickens to eat or not. They decide to eat them, with a few people that are against the decision. The oldest kid does a lot of work in this episode hoping to get the gold star, but he doesn't. Michael gets the star and he deserves it. No one goes home. Blue is now the upper class. Overall, it was an interesting episode but it was a little stupid. A whole episode about chickens...ok...I also thought it was halarious how the yellow town leader does nothing. They should have a revolt. Anyways, overall, good episode and a little silly watching kids argue about chickens.moreless
