When Jimmy said he thought there were going to be adults, I cringed. I'm very sure his parents and the people interviewing explained what was going to happen but that's an example of how little kids really process until they are thrown into something.

I can understand every kid there saying "I didn't know it was going to be like this" - that makes sense, we all do that when we jump into new situations. But the very basic understanding of logistics - NO ADULTS - he didn't process it. Or he couldn't process it. Until he experienced it.

I am also concerned about editing. As with all reality TV shows, the editing plays a huge role in how we feel about individuals and I worry that some of these kids are going to go home and be treated very badly, by peers, because of how the show was edited.

Interesting show. Very interesting.
