The only thing that would have been cool about this show is if the oldest kid 15(wtf, he looks 22) with braces from the blue team punched the 10 year old in the mouth.

This is what I'm saying. I guarantee that 10 year old kid has practically no friends in real life. So now that he has some "power" he's on a complete power trip, but I'm betting he's voted off the council soon and he'll start crying.

Prediction: Sandra, will be a stripper in 8 years.

Sandra? There was no one on the show named that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who's the yellow team leader? Because clearly he was referring to her.

That does actually seem like a better stripper candidate than gold star girl.

Wow was I just sheltered growing up or is it weird that kids know how to drink like that? I mean I know there's no alcohol there but they've got their technique down. And what's up with the car bomb-style drinks? What could you possibly be mixing into root beer like that?

I admit, sadly, that I watched it all the way through. With my 15 year old daughter who thought it was stupid that the other 14-15year olds didn't just take over control.

I'll watch a few more episodes and then either get hopelessly hooked until it's over or lose interest.

Hated the wimpy crybaby with glasses, leader (name?)
Liked the girl who danced for money, SMART and then won 20k?? She's golden.
Liked the older guy who poked the crybaby in the forehead and walked away....I LOL'd.

Based on watching the youtube video. I will never watch this show unless I choose to wager on it.

This pretty much sums up all of the character development they managed to pull off in the hour

Girl who danced for money = retarded and bossy. Not deserving of the 20k. Michael seems like the smartest out of the bunch.

I enjoyed it. Great sound-byte material for all the radio shows and Best Week Ever's out there.

One thing CBS did that I thought was a great idea was the commercial situation. I did not actually watch it live (Cuz I'm a baller like that [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) but when it FINALLY took its first commercial break the show was @ like minute 37 or 38. That was a great idea whoever decided that. Then all of the ones that followed were very short IMO too, giving you a chance to @ least get enuff of it. The short attention spans out there could not turn away from the trainwreck until the show was practically over by then.

Still, consensus here is that it sucked, but I'll still watch it since I did laugh @ it when the older kids defaced the other group's houses w/ graffiti.

One thing CBS was really smart about was that they can give away $20k at a time and the kids are going to be happier than any Survivor who wins $1M. Saves a lot of prize money.
