The kids are definitely coached on what to say. It lacks spontaneity. Also why is the host so obsessed with asking the kids if they have a boyfriend or a girlfriend? I don't really love the situations the host puts some of the kids in. It's uncomfortable and a little inappropriate at times. The host is really into her self and talks nonstop about her success.
The kids are still cute and even though they might we coached on what to say they are still kids and they are still cute and funny. My seven-year-old daughter really likes the show so I guess It's a fun watch for kids.
