| 10 | "Let Me Talk!" (Days 29-31) |
| Description | The Town Council creates a game meant to improve communication and build respect, but gets heat from the Town for being disrespectful themselves. The Town Council responds by threatening to give the Gold Star to no one. Meanwhile Greg and Blaine spy on the Green District bashing them, and they are not pleased with what they hear. After a series of confrontations, Greg makes the Town an offer—if more than half the Town wants him to go home, he will pack up and leave Bonanza forever. The Kids refused and wanted Greg to change. After hearing a word from Jonathan, Greg apologizes for his behavior and promises to try to change. |
| Showdown | The citizens of Bonanza ran a pie race. Pies were hoisted to the top of a tower where a district member would place it on top of two "pie holders" held by two more district members balancing on beams. The pie holding members had to balance the pie and transport it across the beams to another tower where another district member would take it and slide it down a chute to the district's council member below. The council leader then had to dig to the bottom of the pie to uncover a picture of a mode of communication: telegraph, telephone, typewriter, etc. and put the pies in chronological order according to the invention date of the mode of communication. The town won the reward: a choice of four ponies or letters from home. The town council considered the ponies because they thought if they chose the letters, kids might become very homesick and leave Bonanza. After a very hard decision, the council chose the letters. Despite the council's decision to deny Taylor any rewards, they gave her her letter in exchange for a promise that she would work harder in the future. |
| Gold Star | Laurel: While the new town council threatened not to give out a gold star, they decided to recognize Laurel's hard work throughout the first 28 days of Bonanza's town council. |
| Exits | No exits, although several kids intimated that they might leave. Taylor once again threatened to leave after DK and the town council brought pressure to bear on her for lack of work. Both Zach and Laurel contemplated leaving after the seemingly disastrous way in which the new town council was operating. At the town council meeting, Greg, fed up with the town's dissatisfaction, offered to leave if more than 50% of the town voted him out. |
| Elections | On Day 28, Bonanza City held their second Town Council elections. Election rules were the same as for the previous election, although this time the entire process - from the announcement that there would be an election to the election itself - took place within a single town hall meeting. An entirely new town council was elected.
