Bonanza City faces an unexpected problem for kids who have to work all the time: they"re even more bored than their audience is. So the Council decides to throw a talent show in the Saloon. The episode also kills time by introducing some new characters, like homesick Kentuckians Savannah and Kennedy, as well as Blue team sluggards Natasha and Migle, whose Upper-Class laziness prompts Greg and Blaine to threaten to throw the challenge in order to make them work. When the Showdown comes, the kids have to create mosaics using gumballs they have to chew themselves. Green finally gets to be Upper Class for the first time. Blue is in second place, since Greg and Blaine were bluffing; Red comes in third; and Yellow not only has to be Laborers, they lost the reward for the whole town, which would have been a choice between paint to brighten things up and an all-night block party. Not getting either doesn"t appear to help Savannah"s crippling homesickness. At the talent show, Kelsey plays the piano, Campbell emits a piercing shriek, and Eric sings and plays piano. Jared barely gets through a daunting Shakespeare monologue, and Greg and Blaine do a drag Shakespeare revue. Jasmine sings, Olivia does a standup routine that the kids like (and I don"t), and Kennedy"s entire act seems to be acting like an idiot. And then Savannah steals the show by announcing that she"s staying. Afterwards, the Council is torn between Olivia and Kennedy for the Gold Star. At the Town Hall meeting, DK drafts Laurel into singing, and we learn that she was holding out on us at the talent show. Finally, the Gold Star goes to Kennedy for her performance, along with the credit for getting Savannah to stay. And Divad"s still bitter about being passed over.
