The Colony - Season Finale

Tuesdays @ 10pm E/P on Discovery

New to The Colony? Watch how the Colonists build back:

What would you do in the wake of a global catastrophe? How would you find food? Water? Shelter?

The Colony is a controlled experiment to see exactly what it would take to survive and rebuild under these circumstances. For 10 weeks, a group of 10 volunteers, whose backgrounds and expertise represent a cross-section of modern society, are isolated in an urban environment outside Los Angeles and tasked with creating a livable society.

With no electricity from the grid, no running water and no communication with the outside world, all the volunteers have to work with are their skills and whatever tools and supplies they can scavenge from their surroundings.

Experts from the fields of homeland security, engineering and psychology have helped design the world of The Colony to reflect elements from both real-life disasters and models of what the future could look like after a global viral outbreak.

Over the course of the 10-week experiment, the Colonists must work together to build the necessities of survival, such as a water-filtration system, a battery bank that powered their electricity, a solar cooker, a shower system and a greenhouse and even some niceties (a coffee maker!).

@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.

@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.
