I've mentioned that I knew people that will be on a new reality series, and today CBS released some info on it. The two people I know are actually the daughters of my best friend. A year or two ago he auditioned for Survivor, and was contacted last year, not to appear on Survivor, but for the fact that his application noted that he had kids. It took him months to decide if he'd let hollywood have his kids for 40 days, and it sounds like it was a great experience for his kids. Unlike many reality shows, kids aren't voted off, but they vote for someone to get rewards. It was supposed to be a Summer release, but it looks like CBS execs have determined that it's good enough for the Fall line-up.
"Kid Nation" is the kid reality show. The premise, from CBS: "40 kids will have 40 days to build a new world -- in a ghost town that died in the 19th century. These kids, ages 8-15, will spend more than a month without their parents or modern comforts in Bonanza City, N.M." Let the sociological discussions begin. The show comes from producer Tom Forman of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
