welcome to kid nation one of the most
insane reality TV shows ever made where
unaccompanied minors are driven to the
middle of the desert to build a society
from scratch cook for themselves clean
for themselves run their own economy and
drink bleach for themselves off-camera
yep that actually happened this show was
so nuts it leaves you wondering is this
the worst reality show ever made our
host the other property brother tells us
about Bonanza city whose first
inhabitants will handed into the ground
and it's have two small children to
bring it back to life so it begins with
40 random kids on a bus ready to be
physically and psychologically
manipulated for the amusement of
millions of people watching on network
television oh this old kid has long hair
in a hoodie the show's already decided
with a bully is stare straight ahead
stare straight ahead stare despondently
at a photo of you and your family while
wearing Transitions lenses damn it the
show's already decided who the target is
to this kid's screwed
city kids country kids everything in
between the best way to successfully
start a new society is to just
immediately label every type of person
parents
oh this scared exploited eight-year-old
is already entertaining me I'm terrible
don't worry about it here's some drone
footage in dramatic music let's do this
plaid dad introduces the kids to their
town council for kids who get to arrive
by helicopter instead of school bus and
spray sand all over the townspeople so
the kids have to lug there the rest of
the way to Bonanza City not sure why
they didn't just take them straight
there and also corral the animals that
coincidentally just escaped from this
random farm and if you weren't paying
attention before here's your second
warning don't mess with Greg meanwhile
stranger danger post the kid oligarchy
aside and shows them the gold star worth
twenty thousand dollars that they get to
give to the top kid every few days yes
now that these kids are incentivized to
gain power through real money nothing
can go wrong
luckily this 8 year old gets it he's
like why am I doing this I'm eight I'm
trying to have fun good question for
everyone good question for your parents
when you get home - so the Town Council
immediately acts like their hutch and
don't work almost like they were flown
in on a helicopter and given a gold star
worth 20k to give out to their favorite
kid or something I said Mike you're not
working he said no I'm working really
hard here can't you see it all he's
doing he's standing it's your wagons
like come on guys come on come on really
you know like one of those guys at the
airport it's gonna pour to you in the
right direction as if we can't follow
the road well looks like this
fourteen-year-old gets it too a lot of
reality TV contestants are forced to
live in less than desirable conditions
but only kids get to live in
well prison conditions oh look it's
footage of the creators of this show
playing with fire before they can sleep
in their prison they gotta learn how to
cook so they spend all night burning
themselves with fire stoves in boiling
water and eventually figure out how to
make mac and cheese and it's gross
Taylor the youngest town council member
misses being at home and having a
healthy meal and a place to sleep which
is like I don't know reasonable and
Jarrod's not sure if he's gonna be at
the big meeting tonight cuz you know
this whole thing blows I think I'm tired
I'm stressed
we were preparing for this scale of what
we're doing kinda sounds like witness
testimony to be honest another solid
piece of evidence that this truly is the
worst reality show ever made to make
matters worse
none of these idiots time traveled to
the future to hear my warnings not to
mess with Greg and Mike decides he needs
to stand up to him to prove himself as a
town council leader so that ends in
tears could have just noticed the long
hair in the beanie but it's your funeral
dude the show made you the target after
all silver lining now alex is off the
hook
time to lounge in the Sun and let those
glasses do their magic finally Michael
long hair no beanie tells everyone to
shut up and listen to the Town Council
and do their jobs so they all chant his
name at this point the bar is pretty low
the Town Council reads the original
Bonanza City settlers Journal which says
they should split the town into four
equal districts which sounds a lot like
segregation maybe they shouldn't take
advice from people who lived in 1885 but
I guess then it wouldn't be the worst
reality show ever me and it is he's put
up the districts anyway and then
straight up lose Jimmy he's crying in
the corner somewhere I guess cuz he's
eight and stuck in the desert with a
bunch of kids he's never met and cameras
everywhere
Laurel bites off more than she can chew
by telling Jimmy she's a viable
substitute for his parents somehow
dividing the town into groups creates
group loyalty which leads to hostility
in a matter of hours oh and they also
decided to reveal at this point that
there's only one out house for all 40
kids they don't have to take the proof
because I'm not ever using that thing
fun this town needs some help so large
adult dad comes and explains that he's
gonna make things more organized by
creating hierarchical power through
monetary incentive independence hey
let's all play a game to decide who gets
what it's like that old show wild and
crazy kids but with an all child
dystopian hellscape as the stakes so
they decide who's rich in who's poor and
also unlock a reward for the town they
get to choose between seven more
outhouses I wonder what the choice would
have been if they were properly
outfitted with a reasonable amount of
toilets for 40 kids from the get-go I
can't think of better proof of an
abusive environment than a bunch of
children cheering for outhouses instead
of a TV but somehow even semi simulated
child abuse won't get me to stop
watching the worst reality show ever
made
all this has Sofia thinking I feel like
a lot of sometimes I'm just surrounded
by a whole lot of dumb people uh-oh she
might know too much already
fast-forward to the next morning and
Sofia is now fully woke I'm alive we're
now this morning I got up at 6:00 I
scrubbed toilets I did laundry and I
hauled the big barrel of water and I
just got 10 cents and I can't afford a
game of jacks Wow it did not take long
for one of these kids to question
capitalism maybe this is the best
reality show ever made maybe I'm just
the worst maybe we can both be the worst
they all have a town hall where they
voice concerns about the town council
and no one doing the dishes and Big
Brother asks if anyone wants to go home
which is an irreversible decision and
they have to decide right now in front
of everyone before it's revealed that
they could win 20k if they stay so that
guy anyway Jimmy decides to go home cuz
again he's eight and this place
objectively sucks
Ron Jimmy run now that Jimmy can't get
anything out of his terrible experience
adult man tells the kids who played ball
all about the gold star and the council
gives it to Sophia she gets the key to
the only building and Bonanza city with
a phone and is allowed to talk to her
parents once this is her chance to tell
him she just won 20 grand and is also
being kidnapped and lightly tortured by
a TV show Sophia tells her mom she won
20 grand which pulls our heartstrings
enough to keep watching for the rest of
the entire season because adults are
easily manipulated - her mom doesn't
seem to wonder if maybe the people in
the town saw that Sophia knew too much
and paid her off to avoid a revolution
but I do wake up sheeple anyway now that
everyone is properly divided against
each other in a social experiment driven
by money manipulated by a giant media
corporation for the amusement of
assholes like me everyone feels like
they can work together and build a great
society Cheers
don't worry that was just the first
episode every episode of this series
drove me more insane than the last and
hopefully it will ruin your life -
that's what makes it the best worst
reality show ever made I love you and
we're in this together
you
