To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh yes. That place was so bad, at first I thought it all had to be staged. Then it got even worse, and I knew in my soul that it wasn't. Because no one would pretend to be that bad. Seriously.
My favorite part was the "bill collector," who was obviously either a lone shark or a drug dealer.

I'd like them to cut off the "host" - no more manicures, tanning sessions, tooth-whitening. No more snagging money out of the till. Sell his fancy watch, make him actually work. I really disliked that guy. And the "bill collector" probably was a loan shark - obviously the restaurant wasn't making enough to support that guy's lifestyle. (yeah, I really disliked him)

I'm not sure I deserve to be rescued from my own laziness and failure to make simple phone calls, but thanks for the vibes.

if you really don't deserve it, either my tivo will screw up or I'll already be recording something and won't be able to help;)

NY Waitress Chick is not going to last long. If you don't want to deal with people who are all "rah rah team!" you probably shouldn't be on Survivor.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Im catching up on Kid Nation now. My power went out last night, so I don't have the last 15.
It's interesting watching this as a teacher of 9-12 year-olds.
I hate the adult intervention. Particularly that intervention that's not about making it work, but about making better tv. The color thing sucks a lot: it's not creating unity, it's creating division. 40 is not an unworkable number, with other organizations (and the wages should be kid-decided, not adult-decided).
Also, also, tests of speed and strength are not fair indicators. Put the kids where they're the most effective. The one girl who cooks needs to cook. This is just silly.
The mugging for the camera is no fun.
And the damn teenagers are making me never want to teach Middle School.
