Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

I have an 8 y/o boy and a 9 y/o girl. They have been asking to watch it for weeks. After the show, they asked me if they could be on the show next season....however, I think they were more excited about the $20,000 gold star award  I think my son dreamt about it last night because this morning I heard him talking to himself in the bathroom about how he would have voted for the TV and not the out houses

I thought it was kinda cool. I was really proud of those kids when they picked the outhouses, but I bet if they would have given them the same choice in two weeks they would have taken the tv. LOL Right now they are all excited and hard working, it will be interesting to see if they continue to work hard or if they get lazy after the newness wears off. My 11 year old son watched it with me and I asked him if though that would be fun and he say NO WAY!! ( As he was sitting there playing a game on his laptop with his IPOD in his ears) I think it would be good for him. I did feel really sorry for the little guy that went home because he was homesick. He was so cute when he kept saying that he thought he was too young for this. It is goi9ng to be interesting to see how they act in the weeks to come.

i only caught the tail end. Did they have competitions or anything, i noticied they were wearing different colored bandana's. Who voted the council and how long are they up their? I am sure they would want a chance at being the winner of the gold star, or can they vote for one of the council too. Like i said, i didn't get to watch but the last 10 minutes.....

I too didnt get to catch all but the last 15 minutes or so. We were at school at curriculum night. But the part I saw was intersting. The star and the $20,000 was like WOW!!!! So I will have to tune in again next week to see how it is. My kids have been waiting to watch it for weeks now. They liked it. they got to see the whole thing. Luckily its on at 8pm at our house and they go to bed at 9pm. And yes the little guy that went home. He is the same age as my son and I asked if he would do it and he said " I dont think so, i think I would miss you and dad.  "Till next week ladies.

I recorded it and watched it today. I am amazed at how well they pulled together to get things done, but we'll see how they do now that there's a "pecking order". It's certainly worth watching. I don't know if I would have let my kids go off and do something like this when they were little.
