  • the epitome of fake and gay.

  • The season finale ruined it for me, it seemed so fake.

  • @Jihadtime how do you know this?

  • hehehe the top coment has 69 likes :D

  • i havent watched this show but were there any injuries? because if the world was post apocalyptic i would protect anything i have with me life and by that i mean i would kill

  • @Xbox360GtisGaruda747 Injuries yes. But in the show i havent seen any too major. Some of the contestants have gotten deep cuts and gashes. But no harm done. In the new season one guys leg is infected. Thats as bad as iv seen so far. AND THERES A NEW GUY THAT JUST JOINED THERE TEAM. HES A SPECIAL OP MARINE SNIPER! HES FKIN AWESOME.

  • I didn't like season 2 as much as I liked season 1.

  • Metalflower productions are taking apps for season 3, if there are any takers...

  • At first I was excited....then as a survivalist myself, this show was a complete let down.

    They couldn't have given the survivors more food and made it more easier for them.

    There was little-to-no hunting, which is one of the most important aspects of survival. They gave them 90% of everything they ate.

    The producers were more interested in seeing them build useless junk instead of focusing on what it takes to really survive.

    This is the last season I'll be watching.

  • @breakneck14 1. They weren't just surviving... they were living. Making the colony their home, and building useful things like showers, and things that were important to them like the gym. 2. Since the place was abanoned, there had to be some food. It's not like someone left and decided to take everything. 3. Since they had canned goods, they didn't need to hunt unit after food ran out.

  • So now what, they screwed themselves, there's zombies in their house, so they're just what, dead????

    How could they end it this way, at least leave it open ended like season 1...geesh.

  • in real life they wont last a week

  • @KaLNFoRc3R Maybe not if this was in America, cause everyone of them would be armed, and it would be like whoever has the most guns is the most powerful.  I could see these situations happening in Europe or Japan though where there are practically no guns.

  • @chimera15 true, true :)

  • I agree with Peanutbutterdawg, this is as much as it can get to the real thing.

  • All I have to say is these so-called experiments are flawed in many ways. Specialy with attacks by "outsiders". If a group was really going to raid them, the result would be many dead. As none of these poeple are all that ready for combat or survival for that matter. Any that don't die upfront will probably sucumb to wound infections from said attacks. Others WILL KILL YOU to get what you have, wish it wasn't like that but that's just how it is............

  • i love this show

  • look at this show in sweden and i can say this is one of the best shows i ever seen only bad that it after midnigth in sweden it shows on TV

  • This is by far the dumbest show yet to come on Discovery Channel. Where in the hell in the U.S. is there an extremely large abandoned area that is supposedly post-armageddon habitat. Everything they do is retarded. The previews for the show give it all away. It premiers random ass shit... like people wearing gas masks and weird letters with threats and stupid shit, none of it makes any sense. Just abunch of over-dramatized bullshit, which idefines a lot of shows coming out these days.

  • @Rippy888 It's called an experiment. The current season takes place (as stated in the show itself) on over 20 acres of a post-Katrina abandoned parish. I feel safer in my own knowledge and abilities from watching/learning from this show. And if you "don't get it" you probably wont have to worry about it cause you would be one of the people that wouldn't survive a global catastrophic event. So continue watching your gossip girl or the hills or whatever show keeps you entertained.

  • @threepm i agree. and watching this makes me realize that i could do a lot more than i think. i would love to be able to do this.

  • @threepm lol I get your point bro but if you actually want to be prepared for a 'global catastrophic event' get wilderness first aid certified or something don't watch a TV show...

  • @threepm THAT IS NOT IT go and wach your porn

    we know it is fake but it

    1.it is a good show

    2.IT IS A POAST OR FUTURE !! APOCALYPTYC TIMES

  • @mepwnyou012 i guess no had had thought about guns or rifles

  • @altoids79762 lol i would realy love that show if there would be

    guns

    zombies

    hot chicks traying to survive

    cool vehicles with auto guns

    even more guns cheecks and zombies

    and the truck got in with like a mini guns granede launcher

    now you understand my point

  • @mepwnyou012 ...then play left4dead

  • @mepwnyou012

    sure a gun would spice the experiment up , BUT zombies, hot chicks and grenade launcher.... sounds like you've been playing too much L4D, RE, Dead Rising, COD zombies, or watching too much Zombie thriller movies

  • @threepm nah i dont watch either of those shows nor does this show give you any survival help,cause there are ppl like me and many other that prepare for a SHTF or WROL type situation and we have guns and other supplies .if that show had guns there would have been a lot of death they did not have a proper self defense

  • Sometimes, I wonder if the newer generations, while becoming safer, are also becoming too vulnerable. We're only safe because of the noise, and walls...

  • @videosearcher92 Only the working class people will survive if anything were to happen. All the sheltered suburban people have no skills to create or fix things you would need. So lots of people will be "useless mouths." No skills to help feed themselves or to help out people that could trade or whatever.

  • its not fake its STAGED!

  • There's not enough resources there. They made all that stuff just for them selves. Thats no colony, they should have incorporated more people to help rebuild LA, even the murauders!!!!!

  • what i want to know is wtf are the volunteers told is going to happen,

    for example why in the world would joey stay if its just a fucking show

  • @RareAlf Because after being gone for so long it messed with their heads kind of. And to make it more realistic because he loves LA.

  • @OnsotineFilms i mean i get that, but i wonder what they were told the volunteering was for

  • @RareAlf They knew they were volunteering for a post apocalyptic experiment. They just didn't know what would happen.

  • George Willis is not taking the new season of The Colony seriously. WHO THE H*LL TAKES A NAP IN A POST-APOCALYPTIC SITUATION?

  • theres a new season! whooO!!!

  • Dual Survivor also is FAKE. succesful wild animal hunt and perfectly built makeshift camp is what you can cout on every single show. There are no element of surprises. Everything was scripted.

  • @saigondj suuuuuuuuuure. its just another survival show that teaches you TWO different ways to survive because each person has strengths and weaknesses. of course its fake, but they actually HAVE to get the food and water the majority of the time...

  • @JumboMunch221 What is reality show? It is non-scripted, anything goes, surprises. In this show, you obviously know the maurader wont kill them. Sometimes, the fake intense drama by the contestant makes you just wanna laugh it off. A movie is fake too, but thats why its called a movie.

  • @saigondj most reality shows suck balls. most of them just show people having sex and arguing witheachother. but this one is more entertaining because well, you know that they wont get killed, but if they dont fight for what they want, they dont get it. so they suffer and that is entertainment at the least.

  • @JumboMunch221 this show is much better than other reality shows, but why do they pickup sticks and metal bar trying to defend themselves from the outsiders? in a movie, this would be intense, but in a reality show? i dont think anone is allowed to hurt anyone do you?

  • @saigondj well.....its not ALLOWED but they still do it haha. but the raiders are trained to take stuff from them but not hurt them so badly that they would be deathly injured. its just part of the show. its confusing i know but its really cool to me...

  • @JumboMunch221 It's not fake, It's a simulation run by Doctors of 3 kinds which brought them to the conclusion of how well equiped are Americans for a disaster.

  • FAKE _ not much different than a blockBuster movie, but without special effect

  • its a good show if you can eat all the cheese that comes along with it. imean really "im gonna stay and rebuild." rebuild what jackass? there is a camera constantly on everyone. and the "they have been instructed not to hurt the colonists but the colonists don't know that" is a load of bull. if a single person on that show has ever watched a reality show. they know that injury can only come by accident and death would get the show cancelled.ala a big waste of money.

  • @WiiLink89

    have you watched the new season? O.o

  • what ever happened to these people??

  • @GOVIDSTERYO that is a realy good question... and what about tht 1 dude tht left alone?

  • @GOVIDSTERYO they came back with joey and rebuilt LA

  • i thought this was a good experiment and a good lesson for you city dwellers. A really good show that i just sat and watched all 43 vids one after the other. About the only thing the show hasnt prepaired city folk for is,IF something like this was to really go down. Dont think you city people are going to come and just take what ya want from us that already know how to be self sufficiant in the country. Theyll be a wall of lead waiting for yas!

  • i thought it was barely being started...

  • just saw a trailer for the new season of the Colony, i may be mistaken but i could have sworn i saw Joey in it

  • Lesson learned: Have a decent supply of guns, ammo and supplies... and then go look for more really quickly!

  • did they remember to bring the most important thing with them.... the 2000 dollars?! :O

  • Honestly, if they wanted to make it realistic... They should have traded some of the worthless women to the Mexicans for some crates of can food. Keep one or two to poke on for moral... The rest are just extra mouths to feed.

    Now before you jump on my case, Im just stating what could (would) happen if this was real. When the system breaks down, it doesn't take long for man to revert to savagery. Even today the sex trade is keep in check by the law, remove the law, and it will be common place.

  • @reddogloc

    yeh, i will trade all women except for the nurse!!! hahaha

  • @rcp728 Must trade that Martial Art gym bitch!

  • First I'd like to say, I don't have much against this show, I watched all the episodes religiously every week, and I did learn a lot from it. The final episode however I found a little staged...the whole escape part was good, but the whole final battle was obviously staged. I mean, they had high-speed footage of the truck exploding, they had to have set up that camera there knowing that would happen. Also the whole "I'm a loner and need to save this city" was just stupid

  • boring show..

    just I will watch dragon ball .. one more

  • Joey's a Bitch. He needs to get slapped.

  • I was so dissapionted in the finale. First finding out that joey is an actor or potencialy retarted.. I mean common: rebiuld the city.. if there are survivors i'm one of the people to help them.. this is my city.. What survivors? all other peole are actors(if not all) rebiuld what? an abandomed set of werehouses? Also when they destroyed that car with flametrower.. the car was put there on purpose. It was my favorite show and now... i feel so.. betrayed.

  • the colony was fake??

    i loved that show!! i thought almost all of it was real besides the ending ending when joey leaves the group. i loved joey and that handymani cant wate for seasion 2!

    but where did you hear it was fake? was it some story on ET or did discovery actually point it out?

  • @jason4852 it's an experiment. it's a reality show/experiment. kinda like deadliest catch. everything is controlled, but very real. it's not fake, and it's a good show, don't worry

  • well ur wrong a large weel driving a small well makes it move faster making more voltage if it were the other way around u would be right for example look at a bike the larger the gear drive on the front and the smaller on the back makes u move faster

  • Joey looks like fake colonist, an actor. IMO

  • why the fuck people are saying everything they do is fake? this is about a post apocalyptic world its a simulation! of course the Raiders Nomads and the mexican traders are there to test there survival instinct. they are inform not to hurt the colony but the people there dont know that! so that makes it have more feeling. i hate how people criticize this show on how its fake. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS OUT THERE. you can learn alot from this s

  • @peanutbutterdawg

    Well it is very strange that in the last episode when at night they get attackt by marauders in the dark, they fight for a bit, move back to the truck, they immediatly get in and drive away, and suddenly it is light, and there are no more marauders....

  • @peanutbutterdawg I think some stuff you shouldn't learn from it =

    Food 1st, Shelther 2nd, Security 3rd, and Hygiene 4th: These are basics.

    Volka should have been used for medical purposes (Learn from Jason Bourne)

    Start building an escape plan early, and always ration water and food (Not to be taken for granted)

    Weapons should have been modeled as Shield and Pointed Pole.(Defend and Attack)

    Section movement on the outside should be in formation of a wedge.

  • @peanutbutterdawg i agree with you,how many people knew how to make a gassifier or purify drinking water..guss what when it really happens....those of us who truly understood what the show was about...will be driving around drinking water...while the rest are whimpering in a corner from thirst and hunger...

  • @peanutbutterdawg

    mexican traders? those guys were like, middle eastern.

    they were also awesome.

  • @peanutbutterdawg AMEN Dude cant wait for season 2 

  • @peanutbutterdawg i dont think it is completely fake, however lots of it is. for example the part where the "raiders" get in and the colonist dont close the gate immediately waiting for the camera man... thats fake. the whole final part was fake. it was night time when they were attacked suddenly [ Joey: lets go!! ] they leave the warehouse with the truck and suddenly in 45 seconds its daylight again???

    lots of it i believe is real as well.

  • @peanutbutterdawg I know, how could it be fake when it's just a test to people's survival skills. The doctors producing the show wouldn't have a reason anymore either.

  • @peanutbutterdawg yeah and it says theyre assited by an offscrean crew if any thing goes bad like almos dying (

  • @peanutbutterdawg Thank you!!!

  • @peanutbutterdawg i have to admit this original season seemed kind of scripted. Some of the things that went down were almost too... well thought out and plotted. This new season tho certainly looks better. They get attacked multiple times and the colonists have no idea when they come

  • @peanutbutterdawg absolutely agree this show is great and very informative but obviously the people who do care about this sort of thing will be the ones that are eliminated when the time comes obviously

  • @peanutbutterdawg Hey man what did you think about season 2

    I like season 1 better

  • The colony got smarts but no muscle. It was entertaining on how they built stuff but other then that everything else is watered down.

  • I agree, those Marauders could have killed them.

  • fake or not, these people are sitting ducks if this was a real case scenario. Those guys who came at night could obviously do more damage if their intent was to hurt the colony. Probably rape every one of those women and kill the guys easily. Plus. if your trying to intrude, realistically it would be like a thief in the night not ride their bikes and show them, "Hey im here!'

  • Im guessing if it was in-real life they would have build and used things like Bows, guns, and mines on the raiders.

  • Comment removed

  • i wonder where joey is staying and getting food if he is staying behind?

  • I love this show

  • i have never seen this one hulu took it off.. what happend??

  • It was okay, the ending could have been better, but it was okay. the whole thing about calling it an experament was not true it was acted out, they are good acters tough, it looked real. i like it.

  • How was it acted out?

    Mike ran into a palette and then a cameraman helped him from the bloody mess (I'm pretty sure cameramen aren't supposed to walk into the scene like that).

    The Marauder got electrocuted. I don't know about you but either that's realllllllllllll good effects and reallllllll good acting or it was just real.

  • its good effects, they arnt going to acctually shock someone like that, besides, some of the things ive seen in the show had to be acted out because they wouldnt work the way they se it up, the show is not an epirament, its a good show but its acted out

  • it aint acted out dumb fuck

  • Yes it was, remember when they mad the generator. When they put the belt pullys on and th belt, the big pully was on the engine, it was driving the small pully on the generator, when a big wheel turns a small pully the small on spins faster because it has less of a surface area to cover so it goes around many times to keep up with the big on, its called over drive. , let me send another comment im running out of room.

  • now that i have more room, my point of my last comment wich you need to read first is that they said the pully was to big to spin the alternator fast enough, so they put a smaller pully on the engine spinning the alternattr, and they were happy because it spun fast enough, but the alternator is actually spinnging slower now, if it were real they would have gotten better voltage out of the first set up, but they get more voltage out of the slower setup, thus being acted out.

  • Can I ask how you know for sure (via hard evidence) that it's fake?

  • I think its acted out. Is that what you were talking about?

  • Could you explain the cameraman walking into the shot to help bloody Mike though? Because camermen (I'm pretty sure) aren't supposed to do that.

  • Hell I never noticed him before, but they probably just did that to make people belive its real.......thats all I got.

  • I dont think its fake, maybe some parts are: the final battle, maybe the trike crash.

    I think it was all real with small bits of fake added in to give the show more flash.

  • I kinda hoped they reunited with George at the end...

  • I love this series. I hope there is a Colony 2.

  • The show got alot of criticism and haters... Which honestly i dont understand. Reality shows are crazy and out of hand thesedays. - VH1's "I love shows" -2000th Mtv Real world -then the so many pointless shows that have no meaning other than just following a celebrity around. I mean it was good to see something new for a change. No matter whats done someone is gonna be there to bitch. My only complaint was the blank ending. Wish it showed them arriving & making. A Reunion show....anything?
  • Same here, I thought it was supposed to be 70 days. Oh, and John Cohn writes about the show in his MySpace.

    There are also videos of the colonists arriving at a modern-day hotel afterwards. ^^

  • damm dat flamethrower was badass

  • I wonder did they run out of gas or did they make it to their destination

  • They were using a wood gassifier to power the truck. I think only the Ranchero was powered by gasoline.

  • i love this show!!! the final episode was awesome!!!! i want there to be a season 2!

  • WHY DID JOEY STAY BEHIND?????

  • To start the next colony?  perhaps with the doctor?

  • he wanted to stay behind to help the city rebuild

  • why did ge stay beind is his mide now thinking he cant go on in the real world but itwas awsum i wish it showed the new place

  • OMG THAT WAS EPIC ENDING@

  • hay dont talk trash you guess would not do it i would not do that

  • what happened to that one dude the doctor message back plz

  • The people running the experiment took him out. They toook him out when some of the colony went to the hospital to get supplies. The doctor was left alone in the boiler room, and disapeared.

  • if it was fake then the company could get sued for false advertising thats why they inventes THE REALITY TV SHOW

  • mikes bad ass those women on that show are idiots

  • yeah I agree,

    Mike is building the colony all these mechanical stuff from motor engine to fire gasoline power.

    and all the woman in the colony are complaining about "Be more nicer" "Show some more respect" "If your not nice to me I won't do this" seriously wtf....

    Mike is doing whatever he can to help the colony get the hell outa there even if the woman don't like him he's still working hard

  • Exactly, especially the rocket scientist. She thinks she runs the place but she really needs to just shut her mouth.

  • Thank you!

    in all honesty and not to sound sexist, but the woman in the show are seriously getting to emotional there always demanding respect

    and be more "nice"

    all the guys there like Mike and Joey are just trying to get the motor in the truck running so they can get the hell outa there.

    Also everytime someone passes by in there base, the woman just keeps handing them there food and water, unless they have something to trade don't give them anything

  • Mike doesn't get emotional? :)

  • lol he does but I mean compared to the female on the show he doesn't go on and on for like 2 hours asking for kindness and respect all the time, he throws a tantrum and then moves on and goes back to working on the vehicle.

  • canada doesnt deserve the colony

  • **** you man every one deserves it including you. What if i said you dont deserve to watch the colony! You would feel prety bad right!!! SO please respect every one and be nice. Thanks

  • if its fake its a damm good one

  • its real

  • awesome 5stars

  • Is this show fake or what? :)

  • No  .

  • this show took years of planning, and it wasn't meant as a show but as a expirement to see how humans would react, and it even cost a lot of money, but the people in the show are real, but there are hidden camera's that the colonist don't know about, and the blond dumbass nurse dresses up all the time just for the camera

  • i feel ya trent28! but if they did happend to have another season do you think it would be different people?? I dont think anyone can match the skill and knowledge level of john c and thats what i think keep them alive

  • to bad we dont get this show in canada fucking assholes

  • You can kind of tell that guy with the beard was no stranger to eating cat food even before the show.

  • He's no stranger to love either.

  • Hopefully after the finale they make another season with different survivors in a different environment?

  • If they don't have another season I'll be sorely dissapointed.

  • hey cpcool3 i was talking about the marathon dumbass

  • it would be cool if they had zombies in it lol

  • i like this show it has alot of potential for people to get hurt in stupid ways

  • Dang! I wanted to watch this and would forget... now its gonna be over? Must... watch... marathon! D:

  • stream it online! links in the side bar ------->

  • John C= MacGyver

  • Is this a reality show, if so then how did they get that much space to do this? Like a whole city??

  • they got the LA river and about 20 miles of crap

  • I wonder how bad mike's head injury is. It looked like he split it pretty good at the end of the last episode o_o

  • i like this show so much i can't wait, but the thing i want to know is, MIke got hurt in the last episode, will he appear at least in the last?

  • ya it looked like he was sitting down with a bandage around his head. i hope he doesn't get kicked out for the injurie, he is the best part of the show!

  • what ever happend to discovery having shows where you accually ya know discover or learn something? all it seems to be is a terrible fishing show, mythbusters which is running outta idea so now there just blowing stuff up,and this "show" if you can even call it that rather than a waste of time

  • This show is a reality TV show, and they are based in a warehouse. But I don't want to say studio, because the cameramen stay with them for the ten weeks as well (in the Video where Mike crashes, a dirty Cameraman helps him out of the vehicle, not a colonist).

    In addition, John Cohn (the Computer Engineer) stated he did not expect his wife to come on the show. Oh, and the show was recorded over the summer, because John Cohn wrote he was able to watch the show with his family at home.

  • awesome love the show cant wait to see it!

  • WHY TUESDAY!!!!!I have school!!

  • its only the SEASON final not the show final

  • The Colony wasn't what I thought it was when I first saw it, but its still alright.

  • man i hope they do a 2nd season with different people and a different city. i love this damn show

  • me too. but i think it should show where they went and how they are doing there.

  • danget im at school at 8am - 3:50pm

  • DVR it, or record it.

  • idiot, 10PM! NOT AM, dude what are you 5? i mean i am 13 and i know better, god! its 10pm eastern pacific time, which is 10pm in say Connecticut, 9pm in say Mississippi, 8pm at Texas, and 7pm in california, ALL AT ONE TIME, so from west coast 12pm and to east coast 4pm DUDE add one hour going right, minus going left.

  • KEEL'em all if you have to

  • Love this show.

    best thing on discovery channel atm...

    There wont be a second season right ..?

    Cause ..that would proof that all the people in this show are actors.. with no jobs irl.

    and no knowledge of what they've done in this show.

    Period !

  • This show is overly setup.

  • rofl these idiots think everything on tv is real.

  • sweett!!

  • ur all retards rofl

  • Sorry to break the news to those cheering on the colonists and thier freedom drive, but I was one of the Marauders in the finale and we set up spikes strips to flatten the tires on the truck because production crew said to.

    You will see the best horrified faces on them when they bail the busted truck and run and scatter like roaches. So much for unity.

  • doubt it attention hog

  • no they arent that ware house they are in is real even look it up in the forums of the colony DUUSH BAG

  • The whole thing is on a movie set in LA. Can't you get that through your thick skull?

  • wow its on google maps its a real buidling LOOK IT UP

  • Prove it.

  • It doesn't take a fucking rocket scientists to figure that out. Even in the opening credits of the show they say it's shot in LA.
