It'd be better if they were actually good actors pretending to be on a reality show. Then they could beat up / kill each other.

Oh come ON. They have to know that. You'd have to be stupid to think they're going to HARM you in this.

Most they could do is have something scripted with one of the survivors to make it look real.

I'll be disappointed if at some point they don't receive a visitor wearing a sports jersey with "13" on it and a dog.

Jesus, they just flatly announce the raiders can't hurt them, this show is pathetic. They need to have some SEAR instructors come in and loving ruin these people.

I don't even have a slight doubt that they aren't just lovely actors at this point.
Hopefully there is a huge twist within 17 minutes that makes this crap worth watching. I like the paintball gun idea myself. Throw some zombies and the military in too.

Huh. Stumbled half way into this, during the "biker gang." I'm interested...but yeah whats the post-apocalypse without bloodshed and struggle?

Oh, and MacGuyver is in their group. Thats lucky. Is connecting a power system really in a "handyman"'s job description? I envision a handyman doing things like, oh I don't know, mending fences and changing oil...

Wire some speakers with gunfire, shoot off some pyrotechnics for explosions. Make them scared shitless.

The pinnacle of things that guy just got upset over is a shirt not fitting him.

How can they get so involved and wrapped up in acting that they ignore the camera guys and still do those monologues to the camera in private? I've heard of the stuff Grotowski would do, but that's a bit much.
