I got caught up on the first few episodes on Monday, watched the new episode last night. Pretty entertaining show, a little like Survivor though without the "challenges". Do you think they are getting some technical advice on some of the stuff they're building or repairing?

Yes, the little disclaimer vaguely admits the producers give off camera suggestions. I found it for the first time with the mini marathon they had the other night, still have several to watch on the DVR but it's the most entertaining reality TV show I've seen in a while. I guess part of it is because I'm taking notes for the apocolypse. Never thought about getting a goat and a chicken, may have to look into that

The show seems pretty scripted/planned. The producers clearly have set directions they want them to go in. Like the gasifier, I bet they had the potential participants fill out "what would you do in the apocolypse" survey's and the guys wood gasifier story came out so they picked him. I wonder what made them pick the rest of the people. Outside of the handyman and the excon, the rest have been pretty useless.
