Default Reality TV show cancelled, unbeknownst to the contestants living in the bush

I kinda feel bad, but mostly I think this is hilarious.

One year after they retreated into the harsh Scottish wilderness with visions of TV glory, the cast of a Survivor-style British reality show have emerged into a world that appears to have forgotten about them.

Dubbed “Eden,” the show was cancelled in October and all social media accounts connected with the program have gone eerily silent.

What’s more, the 10 remaining contestants have been deliberately kept in the dark about world events.

After 12 months battling flies in the Scottish highlands, they are now discovering a world where Donald Trump is president, Theresa May is prime minister, and the U.K. will soon no longer be part of the European Union.

“Eden was definitely an experiment and it hasn’t gone well,” a source close to the show told U.K. tabloid The Sun in January.

Conditions in the camp also reportedly began to deteriorate in the ensuing months. The patch of land is notoriously windy and beset with bloodsucking midges — which is why locals can’t seem to remember it being farmed at any point since the Bronze Age.

The four heavily edited episodes witnessed by British viewers already started to show hints of a Lord of the Flies-style unravelling...

Sounds like a marketing gimmick. This show is failing! Watch people suffer!

he two old men apparently declared they were soldiers, and the story they told when they emerged from the dense jungle of a Philippine island was yesterday the talk of the nation they claimed to have fought for.
According to reports, the Japanese men, who are both in their 80s, said they had been hiding on the island of Mindanao, which is 600 miles from Manila, since before the end of the second world war.

The Kyodo news agency identified them as Yoshio Yamakawa, 87, and Tsuzuki Nakauchi, 85, and said they were former members of a division whose ranks were devastated in fierce battles with US forces towards the end of the war.

Wasn't there a TV show that was a fake reality show series with the same kind of premise that took place in Siberia?

I remember it was a pretty good show.

Nothing beats the UK Bacholerete type show which had a twist in the end, when the woman all the men were competing to win the heart of turns out to be a transsexual.

It was also filmed in Manitoba. I remember watching it then it sort of disappeared or I just lost interest.

This is something I've heard about, and wondered about. Why are these people surprised? Being in/on a tv show is no guarantee it's going to air at all. It sucks for them, sure...but if it's not a good show, regardless of what they "went through" to film it...who cares? It doesn't get air time, and off it goes. That's a risk one takes when one signs up for risky ventures.
