Kid Nation villain Taylor says producers fed her lines

07 Aug 2008 12:52:26 PDT

Written by Andy Dehnart
Whether or not you believe Taylor probably depends upon how much you loathed her character on the show. Earlier, executive producer Tom Forman admitted that the show had kids do "pick-up lines," i.e. retakes, but he didn't say anything about telling the kids to say things.

CBS's Kid Nation is the most controversial show of the new season (maybe, it's close between this and the next one on my list) for a number of reasons. They include, but are not limited to: children drinking bleach from unmarked bottles, two emergency room visits, facial burns from grease...
