"reality TV"

It might be obvious for all of us that Reality TV does not have much to do with reality but I felt it necessary to point out that there is little that resembles reality in this show. I had to say it mainly because some commentators on IMDb seem to place their real life motives and emotions into Kid Nation. This is a television show. The kids will go home after, at most, 40 days and will not have to work hard every day for the rest of their lives at these crummy jobs. The kids' motivation to take part will range from seeking the attention to pressure from parents. The producers did not choose any participant based on their similarities to Mother Theresa but to be contradicting personalities to each other thrown together for conflict. But lets get to the show. It is boring.
