He said something like "I saw what you did at the revealer."; I took it to mean that he saw that she either took something out or placed something within it.

They deserve each other.

I continue to watch this show, but find myself annoyed.... when they are filming a person who could be approaching death (Esther/Sam), I know that would never occur on a reality show, and I find my mind drifting.

I guess the best way to put it is this show stretches my ability to suspend disbelief.

I think I would enjoy it more if I knew what elements were producer controlled and which were actual responses by the actors in these scenes.

Well by this point, no one should be watching the show thinking it's still a reality show. It's definitely crossed into the realm of pseudo-reality.

As far as the show within the show, I'm thinking that by now, nothing is producer controlled anymore, as it seems all the producers are dead and buried (or eaten).

I did see on the Wikipedia page for this show that there are going to be 12 episodes in this season/series, and we've only seen 7...so that means there are 5 left before everything is hopefully wrapped up.

There was also a scene where the woman who was connected to the producers was telling a camera man to keep filming so there would be some record of what happened to them. Documenting those who died would include that. I'm not sure that it was ever really a 'reality show, but an experiment. What killed the 'producers' was likely an unforseen turn of the wheel.

This could be the Stanford prison experiment gone very very wrong too.

I know its not a reality show.

But what I don't know is this- is every scene entirely scripted, OR do the producers throw the actors into this setting and then start making random cr@p happen, and then film what happens to them/their reactions/etc.



THAT is what bugs me about this show.

Of course it's totally scripted! Do you really think that even Hollyweird producers would let people be injured and killed for just a tv show??? Do you think any production would continue to let a psychopath like that horrible guy continue to be in the midst of others? Come on, woman, it's just a tv show messing with YOUR mind!!! It is NOT real in any shape or form. It is just a show. Totally scripted.

Your comments completely miss the point of my post. Amazingly so.

I get what you're saying. You're wondering whether the fictional "producers" are still influencing the storyline of the show...or are they really dead and the "participants" are really on their own fending for themselves.

I would also like to see more of the camera crew at this point. There has to be about 5-6 "crew" out there between multiple camera handlers and sound men. If the "participants" are truely fighting for their lives at this point, the "crew" would be also and we should see some of their reactions now too. Would make it more interesting.

I can't wait to find out what's really going on with this show and for it to conclude and get our answers.

I really think it has to do with the meteorite crash back in the 1900s in Siberia. Kulik was one of the first to view that site after the explosion and now they find his journal. I think it's all going to tie into that.

I may have missed the point because it does not make any sense to me. It is just a tv show, nothing more. No big experiment going on.

Oh, wait, there may be an experiment going on, seeing how many people think this is real.

I've wondered about the camera crew. The one that was part of the prodution told them to keep filming but where do they live? What are they eating? The implicaton is they are also trapped and the record is mostly so someone knows what happened to them.

I would guess the experiment is continuing, even if nobody is running it. Or so they are to believe. Or was this the whole point, to push them until they'd forgotten anything but trying to survive.

I sure would like to read a translation of Kulik's diary. And I'm sure there was a reason that the one woman found her grave but did she tell anyone?
