Episode 12: Where’s Bonanza, Dude?

In “Where’s Bonanza, Dude,” arguably the most beloved Kid Nation kid finally wins a gold star. But hold up, partner! Before that revelation, this episode is jam packed with some cool ideas that show what a season 2 could’ve been like. Newly elected Sheriff Sophia takes charge of the town and is a big step up from the Town Council. Speaking of the Big Boys, they are sent by the journal out into the wilderness where they meet a Native American tribe who teaches them about leadership. Back in town, the Big Boy-less teams struggle with the most strength-dependent Showdown yet. And when it comes to the prizes, there’s a controversial (to Stevie and Pablo) choice that has us becoming believers of The Mandela Effect!
