TV Week: CBS encamped 40 kids in an abandoned New Mexico ghost town for more than a month. The kids performed on camera for more than 14 hours at a stretch, seven days a week, making their own meals. They were filming during the school year, yet no studio teachers were present. They were working on a major television production, yet no parents were on the set.

    Yeah this show stretched the rules as bad as I have ever seen. They used a loophole, by making the show a "camp" which meant they could have the kids work as long as they wanted, plus they only paid the kids 5g's each. Nothing like america's finest corporations teaching kids the values of greed, deceit and the American way when it comes to labor... why get it legally when you can hire foreign or child slaves. Have we really come that far in the last 200 years?
