There’s a new sherriff in town!
In the town Journal, there were included some history books which gave the history of the town in which the kids are living - Bonanza. The leaders figured out that their Showdown was going to most likely be a test of the information included in those books. They got all the kids in town to meet with their respective districts and study the books. Well, almost all. Who was the lone holdout? You guessed it….Taylor! (Oops! I guess I lied when I said there was more than just Taylor being annoying!) Actually, it was her and Leila. But, Taylor quickly learned that your “friends” will only stand up for you for so long. Once the town council told them that if they refused to participate in the studying, they would not be allowed to participate in any reward that may be won after the Showdown. That was all it took for Leila to become the model student! Taylor, however, insisted she was tired of being “told what to do”. EXCUSE ME?!?! Seriously folks. Does she have amnesia? In case any of you missed it, go back and check out the episodes where Taylor was on town council. Again, I say “Kettle!”
Anywho…as they predicted, the Showdown was a quiz on the history of the town and the reward was a good one - an arcade. Well, they had the choice between arcade and library. Hmmmm…a town full of kids without adult intervention. I wonder which they’d choose. Taylor, as promised, was not allowed to visit the arcade and boy was she pissed! She finally decided to do her chores. MAN! There was a crapload of dishes just piled up that she had to wash. A couple of people took pity on her. Zach actually said he didn’t think the current council was being fair. Whatever! She got off easy considering that she absolutely refuses to put any effort into doing anything for the town!
In the end, Taylor earned the right to go to the arcade, but things quickly went downhill for the town after that. Apparently, kids can’t be trusted to take care of their responsibilities before spending all day and night in a free arcade! Whod’ve thunk it?!?! Well, it ended with the town council deciding to put a padlock on the door and not opening it until the kids take care of business and they put Sophia in charge of the “law” in the town. Looks to be a real showdown coming next week! This show is like a car wreck. It’s so awful the way these kids act, but I just can’t turn away!
