Blimey. That must have been a bit of an awkward conversation "Err, we forgot you were there, tbh - the show was axed last September."

shame, I really enjoy stuff like that - thought it was good 😐
I enjoyed watching it!
I didn't realize it was axed. I thought they were leaving it for a bit and then picking up further down the line when they got a bitmore established. Shame!
I watched it but the woman who was all "I *am* contributing - look I've set up a massage tent so stop being horrible to me." was a bit too B Ark to be real, I thought?
Was this the one where they were given a few pigs and decided to slaughter one (badly) right in front of the others?
If so, I hope that this was some kind of fitting punishment..
Oh yeah I remember that! watched one maybe two the only sensible human being seemed to be the bloke who upped and left and made his own camp the rest seemed like a pastiche of wet weekend social workers and teachers trying to decided everything by committee.

You mean they were given food, and decided to prepare said food?
see above re above
Watched a couple, but they suffered from the usual problem of:
real, sensible people who might actually make it work: boring TV for the majority of viewers
narcissistic arseholes who call themselves professional adventurers and lifestyle coaches and get into fights over the pretty blonde one within three episodes: interesting TV for the majority of viewers
a mix of the above (I think what Eden tried to achieve): apparently not interesting to either group
I did wonder what happened to it. A group of us cycled past the area last summer. Househusband had an interesting chat with one of the producers. The whole thing seemed a bit of a joke tbh. They were getting stuff passed across the fence by passers-by. Still, I'm impressed so many of them survived the midge.

Not quite. A terrible attempt at slaughter left the animal alive and suffering for far too long, all the time within ten feet of the other stock which had to watch and listen to the whole thing.
That was one of the least humane kills that I have ever witnessed, especially in a non survival situation for the entertainment of tv viewers.
But please don't think that I am some hardcore vegan, opposed to all consumption of flesh whilst promoting the human rights of animals, far from it.
What should have happened is that they should have moved the pig to a killing area, away from the other livestock.
Planned their actions so that everyone had an idea of what they were about to do, in what order.
Made a clean cut and been prepared to collect the highly nutritious blood, rather than a shallow cut that needed repeating and letting the blood spill out onto the floor.
It just makes me feel bad that modern mankind has got to this point of inability, thoughtlessness and wastefulness.
Oh yeah, all of this happened (was scripted) within the first few days. Food was freely available elsewhere.
