Never heard of it. What station?

That's my hometown from before Katrina. I could only stomach the first episode. It's a little toooo fake for me.

Yea, I'm trying to get into it. Some of the stuff they are doing is pretty amazing, but the kidnapping and the fighting are a big idiotic.

I would never want to spoil it for anyone, but I could tell you some stories about the filming process.

Agreed. If you want to do a group survival show do that. (Discovery now has Dual Survivors....so the logical extension would be to have a large group of people forced to survive/rebuild together)

This just comes of as a fake reality "Book of Eli" type show....with the kidnappings etc.

i've seen the commercials and been intrigued, but haven't caught it. afraid they will cancel it like they did Jericho. lol

I was intriqued by the commercials, but after watching a couple of episodes, I'm done. It just seems too 'fake'. I'm disappointed because I really thought it might be good.

 

[dpuck1998]

I'm still trying to watch it, hoping it gets better. If one more group "invades" them and has a battle I'll be done. That entire concept it lame. I did enjoy watching them make fuel and building the windmill.

I love the show and find it really interesting...does some of it feel fake? yeah but how else is it going to feel, it's TV...and I like that fact that it's not some game show where they are working towards winning some huge prize at the end

I missed the first couple of episodes, what is the incentive for them?

I believe they are just paid a "salary" per episode, I recall it being somewhere between $1,500 and $2,500. There is no ultimate prize or incentive that they are competing for, other than I guess the chance to somehow become a celebrity.

Oooh-I would love to hear! Any chance of a PM with some stories?

I have very mixed feelings about the show overall. I go from horrified at some of the things to amused by the stupidity, to impressed by the things they've come up with. Oh-and grossed out by some of it, too.
