Then, the kids got arm deep into that vat of beans with live pigs. Minutes later, they were munching down on their reward of fresh fruits and vegetables — with muck still caking their hands, arms and clothes. Where’s the sanitation in that? It’s a miracle none of these kids are sick.

Then we top off the show with DK announcing he wants to go home. He’s tired of the bickering. He misses his family. But the Town Council knows he’s going to win the $20,000 gold star, so Guylan talks him into staying. Ah yes, peer pressure at its best. I’m sure he’s happy in hindsight that he stayed, but let’s remember these are still kids. If they’re unhappy playing adults in this fake town, let them go back to being kids with their families.
