Hi, Michael. My strongest memory from Kid Nation is the week that the council gave the gold star to Mallory. She was very sad because she missed home (and maybe it was her birthday?), but the show had been profiling some other kid the same week who was a really hard worker and mature but ended up missing out on this opportunity for a star.
Were you a part of that decision? What did you think about giving $20,000 to an 8-year-old just because she missed her parents and she did not seem to contribute much to your civilization?
