There were adults there. However, I think the burnt girl was 12. A twelve year old is old enough to legally babysit and/or be home alone, and depending on her individual maturity, old enough to make scrambled eggs or a grilled cheese on the stove top.
And clearly, her parents were in the "allow" category and I don't think that's particularly irresponsible.

and aside from age, what is the difference between a 12 y/o from being burned from stovetop cooking and someone of-age? either way, it's not the parent's fault it happened, it really couldve happened anywhere, anytime, with or without parental supervision. NO ONE is intentionally burned while cooking. geez.

The show is under investigation right now for child labor violations. Production supposedly ocurred in new mexico because it has lax labor laws, but state authorities are supposedly looking into it.
This is the show Jericho was cancelled for, so I'll be tuning in to see if it's as crappy as it sounds like it's going to be...

I swear that there was a skit with the same premise on the Jamie Kennedy Experiment.

I am still waiting for a reality show akin to The Running Man.....may be a great way to empty the prison population.

OK, so I babysit and get stuck watching part of this show inevitably every week now, and while it's crap, I actually tune in to see when they're finally going to overthrow Taylor (the little pageant princess) as a leader. Looks like next week!
