Kid Nation-A sheriff named Sofia

I don't know if Sofia was trying to prove a point to the roping off of her little piece of land, claim something as yours and everyone else wants it, isn't that how it works in real life? Sofia, being the new sheriff in town did manage to enforce the rules with diplomacy and tact, getting things done and still letting the town get the arcade without having to throw any one in jail! I think the producers cooked up that little field trip to let some of the other lesser known kids shine in the spot light. Why I didn't even know of Migli, where has she been? When Jared and his sidekick, Alex, Nanny Mcfee tooth, went on their own field trip to find bones, Jared summed it up best by saying Pelvis has left the building! And can any adult recite the Homestead Act? No way, but Jared can, he's one rocket scientist! It was funny during the reward challenge how the yellow team pint sized girls were one upping each other on their injuries, "My finger is broken", "My knee is cut off!", being small in size but big on whining. And when it came to chose the reward, the monument or the balloon ride, Mike said it best, "once in a lifetime or for all time"--again out of the mouths of babes comes pearls of wisdom-hey was that scripted or what! Somethings fishy in Bonanza! I definitely thought Sofia would chose the monument, she strikes me as a kinda solid as a rock gal-NOT! She shocked me off my couch choosing the balloon rides. But in the end, I think it proved to be the right choice, as they WOULD have a memory that would last a lifetime. It's too bad they couldn't split the gold star cash between Jared and Alex, they are both on par with each other. When Alex called home, I was trying to see if someone in his family had the Nanny McFee tooth, but no, I did see though where he gets his brains from, his Chinese mother and his brainac dad.-Single D You go Sophia! Finally someone who can run a town and single handed to boot. Forget Hillary, Sophia for President! It goes to show, if you don't bully everyone things actually get done. You gotta love that Jared. Who else, besides Alex, would find a cow skeleton and want carbon dating material to find out how old it is? I too liked the "Pelvis has left the building" comment. Brains and a sense of humor. Jared will make some girl a fine income, I mean husband, someday. I really thought the yellow team was not going to make the reward with all of their "injuries". If one person had a sore hand another had a broken finger and one twisted a foot so someone else had their knees cut off! Oh yeah, that's the team with the beauty queens. Enough said. Sophia did let her age show when she thought that an Alpaca was a cross between a sheep and a giraffe. Girl, be a kid for a while, you only get to do it once! She did make a good decision about the reward with the hot air balloons. Besides, I'm thinking there is going to be some kind of monument to mark this occasion. Good for Alex winning the gold star. But, try and say thank you instead of talking about the prices of gold, for goodness sake! Hopefully they will use some of the money to get his teeth fixed! Double D
