Are you talking about the show that was on Discovery?
Anyone watch this show? It looks cool but seems really weird.

Yeah, I think it's going on it's 2nd season now.
Yeah, I watched the entire first season. Good show. Cant wait for the new season to start this week.
Well... wtf is it about? Reality show?
Yeah I watched it. Its a group of people that are put in a set that it fenced off from the real world. Its like a post-apocalyptic setting where the world is in ruins and this group of people has to survive. Random events are thrown at the people like groups of raiders, or for instance last season the group went scavenging and one of the show members got "lost" (taken off the show) and they had to deal with that. Its pretty good.
Yeah. This.
To expand on that. It's an experiment to see if there was a world ending event (global nuclear war, a plague, ect.) if the surviving humans could survive and begin to rebuild society while dealing with random events (to them) such as raiders, poor people begging for the already scarce food, dealing with no easy access to water or electricity.... stuff like that.
They are never told what is going to happen and have no contact with the outside world other than the camera men which they are not allowed to talk to at all, in any situation.
My favorite guy from last season was the old MIT scientist, John Cohn. He was a prototypical einstein type guy. The he came up with was amazing given what he had to work with. I think he was constantly voted as the favorite cast member.
Well they have to know all this s made up so why would you feed some beggers that you know aren't starving and are paid to act like a begger?
Yeah that guy was cool, most of the guys were cool. Almost all of the girls annoyed the outta me though.
Interesting marketing for Colony II. If you watch the ads, some of them say that the experiment failed, that the colony collapses. I guess we get to see why.
So, it is a reality show? I couldn't figure it out if they were simply marketing it as such or if it truly was an experiment.
It's a bit of both. There are things hidden throughout there zone that are purposely placed there to help them.... things like solar panels and such.... but its up to the colony to figure out how to utilize the items.
There are unforseen consiquences for each choice. For instance, that beggar you send off with no food/water may end up joinging a raiding party. That raiding party may then come back and storm your camp by force taking everything.
They also might have something worth a trade of your food/water or you might get some help from them in the future.
This isnt like "Survivor" these people are almost completely isolated for like 6 months or something like that. There is no bull host that shows up now and again yo give them their next "challenge". If I remember right, they get random radio communications that are pretty cryptic, but thats about it.

When does this biznitch start!!??
Tomorrow at 9pm CST on Discovery Channel.
It looks a bit too staged from the commercials on TV, I prefer Kid Nation to make a return...
I'm fond of this show ...
So I'll be watching it right after the catch
Is this the urban survivor show?
Was it always called the colony?
It was on a long time ago, then it disappeared and I never heard of it again
Urban survivor and they had to live in warehouse 13
The first season was last year I think
It's on now.
I suggest watching it.... It doesnt seem staged. It looks like a real experiment.
I was under the impression that there wasn't going to be physical contact?
LOL ... they were whippin some ass with those pipes when the mob approached them
That was last season. I noticed they didn't give the "disclaimer" this year. That little battle was more intense than the finale from last season.I was under the impression that there wasn't going to be physical contact?

eh i watched it but i wouldnt say itd be too accurate in a real situation. theyre presented with either helping nomads or running them off.
in real life, i would either allow them to join the colony (power in numbers) or interrogate and kill them.
Pretty much this tbh. I think there'd be much more violence (killing) if this were a real situation. But it's still interesting
two things bothered me about the episode:
There were like 15-20 people attacking them. Something like that doesn't just happen ad hoc. They would have to be a community. As we've seen, a much smaller group with a helping aid station/tent is mightily struggling.
Also, they got majorly rained on, and NO ONE thinks to strip the tent off it's frame and secure it over their roof? It's serving no real purpose now, other than decoration. They've stripped everything out of it, and have also decided to ignore the whole "quarantine" thing.
