Kid Nation had no delivery. It was all hype, as we all knew it would be, but still curiosity killed the cat and I had to watch. CBS did a good job with the build up as they did last year with the Suvivor Racial divide and now Kid Nation and labor laws? The show was a waste of my time. It won it's time slot, but then again it was against Gossip Girl, and Top Model. I thought the show was a rip-off of every other reality show, but there was no vote-off. Heavens forbid, hurt the kids feelings.

Truthfully, I was bored and think the show should be on after Saturday morning cartoons. I will watch next week and give it one more chance, but they better re-shoot or something miraculous should happen, like the kids starting their own mariachi band or something.

Producers plopped the kids, ranging in age from 8 to 15, in the ghost town of Bonanza City, New Mexico, earlier this year, supposedly without adult supervision for 40 days to see if they could fend for themselves and "establish a fully-functioning community"--or if they'd kill the fat kid, divide off into gangs and resort to cannibalism.

...and yes, that's ages 8 to 15. What parents would let their eight-year-old be part of this?

While you chew that one over... meet the lucky forty... after the jump...
