I think the winter will see them all drop like flies. I can't see this lasting a year.
The Winter will bring freezing temperatures, gales, loads of precipitation, many hours of darkness, dwindling food (they almost certainly haven't managed to plant enough crops and I doubt that they'll manage their livestock effectively) and amplify any tensions and divisions in the group due to the fact that they'll be increasingly stuck indoors in damp and cold conditions (I also doubt that they'll get their act together on Winter-hardened accommodation). My guess would be that the producers will give them quite a bit of support behind the scenes to make sure that they get a full year of TV programming out of the show. |

I guess in reality, the first year would be just survival, and the 'community' part would evolve later. I wonder if any of them would like to make it a 10 year experiment?

At the end of last week's episode, they said someone was leaving.....any guesses as to who it might be? I am thinking maybe Raphael, the carpenter since he is very disenchanted by so many there.

You obviously missed the memo that says in today's society, people can't have failures or disappointments any more - everything is awesome (TM) all the time and if you are faced with any sort of a challenge just retreat into your 'safe space' and blame your problem on someone else's perceived 'meanness'.
People are now making it into their 30s with less maturity and emotional balance than I would expect of an 18 year old. That must cause huge immaturity later on if your parents don't tell you when you are being a little sh*t. |

Well I am sure there will be certain interjections to ensure the project keeps going, i.e. little boosts/outside help.

Oh Amyawake, why so cynical, it is the only thing that is watchable on Channel 4 at the moment. I think there will only be two or three more episodes in this run as well, as they are already up to May 2016 and will have caught up to end of July after six episodes at the current rate.

Oh I said that tongue-in-cheek fashion .... bit of a longshot that they would resort to hotels if weather gets dangerous. Don't get me wrong I like the programme and seem to be a lone voice here in not being so critical of the participants.
They would have to travel miles,poor things it would wear them out. |

Don't think we need to worry about the producers allowing any of the group to abscond to a five-star hotel, they will kick them out if they do that as I'm sure they want this to be a recurring series like The Island, and Channel 4 won't want to be ridiculed. However, wannabe gatecrashers has to be a serious threat, remember this only started airing about a month ago, we may see incursions happening when the footage catches up to the air date. |

I suspect that the producers will try to mitigate anything like that happening if at all possible and will probably try to direct the participants to do certain things at certain times so that they're as prepared as possible, for example making sure that the 'winter camp' is built in good time, that the seeds weren't planted too late etc. They're bound to have regular contact even if we don't see it (as we did in 10,000BC) whether directly or via the cameramen. After all, the footage from everybody's cameras need collecting and there must be hundreds of batteries that need regular replacement or recharging. |

As long as the program is HONEST and shows us any outside help they get, I think it's fine if it's only in the last resort. Having said that, the boat bringing chocolate etc isn't good, it does undermine the whole thing, and even reminds the participants of what they are missing. |

I did watch 10,000 BC and had a vague memory of when they temporarily decamped to a hotel; this is what prompted my suggestion of the possibility that the same might happen in the Eden project. (I don't think I stayed with the whole series though...think it got too samey/monotonous for me and the participants not sufficiently engaging).

Sounds like we are not going to see a budding Ray Mears or Bush Tucker Bloke developing on Eden anytime soon, as the continuity announcer on Channel 4 last night said in Big Brotheresque style, someone is leaving tonight.
More couples tiffs, infighting and general social dysfunction, and not much building or farming. |
