Adult and Children in a deserted town, a ghost town

What if we squeeze 40 adults into a small Ghost Town and they have to work together to rebuilt and revitalize it while at the same time live, eat and sleep with each other? 20 adults of 20 different country. They probably kill each other, divide into groups and build fences or someone will proclaim king and enslave the rest of the unfortunate residents. In the face of land without law, fear and skepticism rules. Everyone wants to be the leader and everyone wanna kick someone out during the town meeting each week for a million dollar in prize is at stake in the end. Welcome to the tv serial "Lost" or reality show "Survivor".

1 town away is yet another Ghost Town populated by 40 children all below the age of 12. They name their town the Bonanza City and it was recently broadcast on CBS. An interesting reality show "Kids Nation", 40 kids been challenged to live in an abandon town far away from civilization and their parents for 40 days. 3 of them become homesick and gave up while the remaining 37 work together through the daily challenges. In the end, there is no bloodshed but a creation of bonding and great friendship and tears of goodbye. The show teach us all that in the adult world of office politics, rivalry, power struggle, jealousy and backstabbing, its the children that show us all what real cooperation and team work is for someone who have not even pass their PSLE.
