I went to Jared's bar mitzvah this past spring, and Guylan was staying with him for several days. Also, Morgan flew down for it, and Hunter's family
came over. Taylor and Kennedy both wanted to be there, but Taylor had some beauty pageant thing and Kennedy had to play in a tennis tournament.
Several of us had a small get-together the spring before this past one. Laurel, Morgan, Kennedy, and Leila came and we all went to Disney a couple of days. I haven't seen any of the guys much since the first year and we were doing publicity stuff for the show. I've probably seen Jared more than anybody, since his family comes down to Disney a lot and we usually have them over for dinner when they do. Morgan wants everyone to try and meet for a big get-together this coming spring or summer, but I don't know how much success she'll have. To be fair, we should probably try and meet somewhere like Chicago, so the kids in the west and on the coast don't have so far to come. Taylor is in eighth grade this year, and is still real active in beauty pageants. She's Little Miss Preteen National something or other. If you google her name, you'll probably see a story about it. I've seen her a couple of times, when her family came down. And whatever national title Taylor holds, Leila holds the state title for North Carolina. Leila's had a growth spurt, and is as tall as I am now. |

I guess I'm probably closest to Laurel, Morgan, and Kennedy. We were the older girls on the green team, so we got pretty close.
I don't think anybody genuinely dislikes anybody else. Like all groups of kids, we sometimes had trouble all getting along, and we argued and fussed a lot. But we all like each other. (Keep in mind that a lot of what you saw on the show was edited to appear a certain way.) I've never seen Survivor and don't really know anything about it. I will say that if Kid Nation had been a real dog-eat-dog survival contest, then Greg, Colton, and Hunter would probably have done as well as anyone. No idea about a favorite fruit. Since I live in Florida, I'll say orange.

A couple of questions, Sophia, if you can answer them:
Did you think it was fair the way the town council presented the gold stars? How much did the producers influence what we saw on the show? |

Sophia I loved you in Kid Nation! I'm so glad you got two stars.

I don't think anyone who got a gold star didn't work hard for it, but there were a lot of dependable, hard-working kids who deserved a gold star and
didn't get one. And some of them worked a lot harder and helped the town a lot more than some of us who did get gold stars, in my opinion.
In regard to your second question, let me just say that the producer's primary objective was to make an entertaning show that people would enjoy watching. To do that, they needed some conflict between the kids, and some problems that we'd all have to face together. Just as an example (without revealing too much), it doesn't take a genius to know that it's not a good idea to throw all your garbage in one alleyway right in the middle of town. But that was one of the problems that their overall "narrative scheme" planned for us to deal with, so they didn't want us to solve that problem too quickly.

Jared on a new show? | ||
|
I just found out that Jared might actually be on a new TV show later this year.
There is a Facebook group entitled "Jared from Kid Nation is Awesome", and Jared is now a member and actually posts a few notes there occasionally. One of his recent messages (via cut and paste) is: Hello everybody! I recently found out that I am going to be on another television show that will air sometime this coming spring or summer. I will keep you all posted as much as possible on details as they come out. (And if my contract allows it ;-).)I would LOVE to see him on TV again. He was probably my favorite of all the kids. |

Now that I've got a new laptop I have decided that I.... TWIST, will actually finish this ranking.
If someone would be so kind as to give me the list of kids who haven't been ranked yet, because I am tired and would like to be able to write the next entry tomorrow but don't have time to figure out who I haven't ranked because it's 6 in the morning, then I'll write an entry for the next person TOMORROW. Sadly my wordpad document with my list of the rest of them is now trapped in the harddrive of my old computer so I'll have to remake the list of the Final 13 or whatever it was in my head. But yes, THIS LIST WILL BE FINISHED. |

OMG at Sophia and some of the others, most of whom I think did rather well or didn't actually get posted yet, actually reading this, I feel so bad for not finishing it now I really hope that they find out that I'm doing so now, it's been so long they might have given up.
I also really hope that none of the kids that I said bad things about got their feelings hurt, they are indeed just kids and that would suck, though I won't pull any punches for the rest of it because of it. I'll post number 11 sometime in the next couple hours I hope. |

First of all, going to the Jared Facebook group I thought it was funny how many of the kids actually have Facebooks now. I didn't add any of them because I feel weird friending adults from Survivor ect [I have a couple but not a lot] let alone children from a reality show which just feels like... creppy, but yeah Jared, Leila, DK, Mallory, Hunter, and Olivia I found pretty easily through Jared's Facebook group. Looks like most if not all of them only add freinds not fans anyway. It's crazy how much older some of them look just like a year or two later.
Speaking of a year or two later, Kid Nation is now so long ago that I'll totally have to try wicked hard to remember anything, and this is from a guy with a pretty legendary memory! And while I write this next entry I'll post the ever so beloved spoilers... |

11. Nathan Gibes
![]() *sigh*, I love this kid, but I don't think I could possibly have justified ranking him any higher. He had two episodes where we was prominent, his gold star episode and the switching members episode. In both, he was fantastic, but most of the people above him other than Hunter had some level of prominence in almost every episode of the season. I don't know if they ever officially said this kid had some form of Autism. I must have, as a camp counselor and baby sitter I've been around autistic kids before and Nathan seemed to have a light case. And since the two kids I have counselor'd and baby sat with Autism were pretty much the coolest kids I've ever met, Nathan gets a bump for reminding me of them. In his gold star episode he obviously deserved it over whoever the other candidates where that episode. He worked so hard that the council had to ask him to calm the heck down! I remember looking at him and thinking that the kid looked like he was going to get sick and I was really worried. Then the switch episode came. Nathan was switched from the blue team to the red because Guylan thought his team needed more hard workers. The younger kids on Red Team proceed to mercilesly The only thing I didn't like about this incident is that it made Mike look like a bad guy and Guylan look like a good guy, I hate when my favorites are idiots and my biggest dislikes are the ones who come off looking good, but that's inevitable in a show about kids. However, this incident did instantaneously deflate Mike's ranking when I remembered it. Also, yet another home schooled kid. I wonder what is up with home schooling parents and wanting their kids on TV?! Also, this picture <3 ![]() I'm not going to post a spoiler because all the ones I could think of gave it away. So instead I will give you the breakdown of the Final 10 by team!!! DK, Divad, Mike, Jared Taylor, Zach Hunter, Michael, Sophia Alex, None of them ever switched teams, also I'm surprised that so many of my top ten were reds, huh, I expected to have more Greens... I just realized that I'm pretty sure all the black kids were put on red, which in retrospect is kind of funny since the kids chose the initial teams. I wonder what lead to that. |
