The Colony

The Colony is a reality show on Discovery, that portrays the end of the world. The show consists of a cast of a dozen or more volunteers trying to survive the portrayed apocolypse.  The cast is placed in an abandoned area, with abondoned buildings. They are given limited supplies in the beginning of the experiment, and are left to fend for themselves and after the supplies run out they have to provide there own food, water, and electricity. The experiment lasts for a set amount of days, typically 50. The cast also has to face "outsiders" who are a gang of thugs that attack the colony periodically, and the colony members have to fight them off, to keep their supplies & shelter safe. Once the show is over, the cast can go home, and see their families. The show airs Tuesday nights on Discovery.
