BPR:
“Eden” is being billed as the reality show that went off air but left the cast in the wild.
The reality TV show was filmed in in the Scottish Highlands and featured men and women trying “to build a new life and new society from scratch, isolated from the rest of the world.”
…so isolated that nobody saw much of the program.
Turns out, while the filming concluded this week, the British TV show was taken off air last August and the participants “year of toil in the wilderness barely made it on to television,” The Guardian reported.
But the cast was never told that their ordeal had not been broadcast since last year.
Just like in the Paleo days….
I read about this yesterday and my first thought was, “what a crappy thing to do to them.” But I would like to see the full language of their contracts. It may well be that they got what they signed up for, and were paid for. I wonder what those paychecks amounted to?
Wow, the dentist didn’t tell them! Go figure.
Here’s a guy who left himself in the wilderness for 27 years!

A very interesting story.
@TP ~ wait … English? …. going to the dentist?
I guess they didn’t get the memo. 😂 too bad so sad.
So long as I got paid, and paid well, for my time, I could (almost) care less if I get “seen”.
Bet you they will package up the year and
sell it on DVDs worldwide.
That’s some funny shit!
