Episode tonight I thought went over the top. The two boys (Ade and Fal?) laughing at William I thought was extremely harsh and cruel. Then there's that really mouthy girl (I assume you mean the one from Kent...not sure) who seems to thinks she's by far the best, and apparently knows best. I'm a little controversial over the program, I mean it's entertaining from one point, but the amount of bullying and tension ruins the program. The fact the girls have fake cigarettes really just sums up the children they used for the program.

I agree with these experts, the program should be taken off air. It's clearly a poor role model given the recent happenings (eg. dad at 13). To me, the program gives off the message that smoking is OK, swearing is OK, bullying is OK and just general dehumanising factors.

I don't even see the point of the program really. I mean what parent is going to leave their 8 - 11 year old child on their own with a bunch of other pre-teens?

Boys go to the girls village for a lil disco. William and a girl (forgot her name) were talking and there interested in each other. After it shows a preview of next weeks show and the girl takes william in a cupboard and says "I love you" without the cameras been there.

The point of the programme is to see what it'd be like if there was no grown up, that's why they've put all the kids into a village with cameras and everything so their parents can watch and see how they behave with other children and see if they work as a team etc, and it shouldn't be taken off the air, they were right to laugh at him, I would've too if it would intimidate him more to "punch them" they're like two years older than him too, if a 9 year old said he'd punch me, I'd laugh at him too!

That was a great episode

Preferred last week's episode, but this one was still pretty decent.
I can't stand any of the people who say that the show is cruel/child abuse/some other nonsense.

All of the children are learning that if they stick up for their selves more they won't just get ignored, they (sort of) learnt a bit about how to deal with money, how to look after their selves and each other, how to get along with other children of various ages.
The show is helping the parents of those children to understand their child better, and also helping any parents watching to understand their own child more.
And most importantly, William got himself a little girlfriend.

Oh so much child abuse.

If it gets cancelled then I'm well up for buying the DVD.
