| Description: |
The all-work-and-no-play Pioneer lifestyle is making the town a gloomy place. As Bonanza's inhabitants become ever more starved for entertainment, thoughts increasingly turn toward home. The Town Council hatches a plan to brighten spirits: a town talent show giving the pioneers the chance to show off their talents in front of their peers.
The kids were given an hour to chew numerous pieces of gum dispensed from nearby gumball machines. Finished pieces were given to the council leaders, who were to stick the colored gum on the appropriately marked areas of a large picture. The green team came in first place for the first time ever, however the yellow team could not complete their picture in the required amount of time, so the town was not given a reward that would have included a choice of either buckets of colored paint that could be used to liven up the dreary colors of Bonanza City or a city-wide block party for the general entertainment of the town.
Gold Star: Kennedy was shown as a person who both worked hard and interacted well with the other members of the town. Her successful performance in the talent show, outgoing personality, and her cordial relationships with others convinced many that she deserved recognition for her contributions to Bonanza City. Also because she convinced Savannah to stay.
No exits in this episode, although Savannah considered leaving after claiming she was homesick. She was persuaded to stay after Kennedy performed her rapping/dancing act during the talent show and the town members expressed their desire for her to continue. |
