Week #: 3 "Deal With It"

Overview of what happened this week:
The kids go crazy in the saloon (doing non-alcoholic Irish Car Bombs, semi-disturbingly) and this means that once again, the yellow team doesn't get up to make breakfast. When the Town Council goes to the church and the book, it suggests that they start instituting some law and order into Bonanza - namely, a curfew. The town members react a tad negatively to this news and Taylor, in her common refrain of this episode, tells them to "deal with it."
Greg reacts... badly to not getting last week's gold star by screaming, slamming doors and yelling curse words at everyone around. After Morgan takes matters into her own hands, he seems to start pitching in again.

How's the food this week?
With yellow still in charge of the beginning, not very good. Rather than clean dishes, breakfast is served into the hands of the kids. As the status quo changes and green finally gets in the kitchen, they finally start eating a little better.


The lowdown on the showdown:
It's a rodeo as the kids have to find named sheep in a herd. Not only that, there are two sheep with each name, and only one has the Ace they need. Once the team has three aces, they win. If all teams win in five minutes, they get their town reward.


Which team wins the showdown?
Yellow, led by Colton's sheep wrangling experience takes the upper class.
Blue gets Merchants.
Green finally knocks Yellow out of the kitchen as Cooks.
Red are stuck with the Laborers.



Town reward:
A choice of a "pioneer" microwave and barell of cocoa or a huge box full of pizzas. After a split decision by the Town Council and to the dismay of many of the kids, the microwave and cocoa are chosen.


Town Council:
The kids are not happy with the Town Council, namely Taylor. Her defense of herself is that as the upper class, she doesn't have to do anything (no one mentions that she didn't do much before that). She promises to do better in the future, but a mutiny seems on the way.



Who is considering going home:
Mallory's thinking about it after Greg's profanity laden morning. She decides to stick through it with her sister, Olivia.



Who gets the gold star? Why?
Mallory, for being the youngest kid around and being mature beyond her age. She runs her general store well and isn't a push over. Plus, it's her birthday.
Greg and Morgan are the runner ups.



Kids say the darndest things:
Sorry, we didn't catch anything very darnd.
