I only watched the first episode in its entirety, then a minute here and there on the next two. I quickly lost interest! Yes, it seems contrived and while I do find it interesting to see their little personalities so "developed", I would NOT want my kid on there- it seems a tad exploitive. But how about that one obnoxious girl- can't think of her name right now but she's the youngest on the council (Taylor?). Ooh, she's bad news, that one.
