I second that,
I havent seen the movie, but I know the premise.
I so totally second that.

Hell, take it another step and just strike up your own reality show, in a shed, in the back of your house, with two people chained up. Use your imagination for the rest, I've got some business to attend to.

Maybe this is the training process for kids who get selected to be on the next season of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, or something. You never know...

People will do what people do, be it a kid or not. I have a feeling the older kids will try to take over, just because of age, or the smarter ones will, because of their brains, and the rest will follow the others. Or maybe whoever knows how to cook.
I see this whole thing a rip off of both Lord of the Flies and Survivor and am not really interested in the results. (I think the whole reality TV thing has exhausted itself already.)

So all the lessons on right and wrong you got from your parents, school, and church were pointless?
People may not need formal education wrt morals and ethics, but people have been attempting to instill codes of behaviour into our children ever since we were swinging from trees. Every society has some form of hierarchy and how to behave within it is a key part of raising young. Saw an ad for this show and I thought - "No flippin' way am I watching this!"
About the only good things on TV anyway is Mythbusters, and Battlestar Galactica (maybe some Law and Order reruns or older CSI)

Bluntly speaking: yes.
I for one, have not attended a single church service in my life, but I can tell you I've got a better sense of right and wrong.
Most people who aren't emotional cripples can form their own basis of moral integrity. Various influences can bring you one way or another, but on one's own, it generally defaults to a pretty sound moral compass. If one absolutely needed someone else to tell them what is right and wrong, we'd have a significantly different society, if society ever managed to develop to begin with.
