Rewind the VHS tape to episodes 2-4 of Kid Nation, as Rob Cesternino, Phil Thompson, and Melissa Deni recap this long lost gem.

RHAP Rewind | Kid Nation Episodes 2-4 Recap

Welcome to the RHAP Rewind! Each month, we’ll be popping in a new VHS tape to take a look back at some shows from the reality tv archives. Whether it’s a particular season, a full series, or anything in between, we’ll be rewinding the tapes and hopping to a new series each month.


To kick of 2021 with a bang, we’re spending the month of January in Bonanza City for the Kid Nation rewatch! Once again, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Phil Thompson (@listenupphilip) are rewinding the tapes and establishing their own society as they dive into episodes 2-4 of Kid Nation. Today, Live Feed Correspondent, Melissa Deni (@itsmelissaaa), joins the town council to recap these episodes.


Kid Nation is an American reality tv show featuring 40 children between the ages of 8 and 15. Similar to Survivor, the children establish their own governing rules and society with little adult supervision. Each week, the town council elects gold stars to one child. Kid Nation ran on CBS for one season.
