What would you do in the wake of a global catastrophe? Even if you survived it, could you survive the aftermath?<\/p>\n

Season<\/p>\n

Two of THE COLONY introduces viewers to a new group of volunteers with<\/p>\n

differing backgrounds, skills and personalities, to bear witness to how<\/p>\n

these colonists will survive and rebuild in a world without<\/p>\n

electricity, running water, government or outside communication. <\/p>\n

Filmed<\/p>\n

on 10 acres of abandoned neighborhood on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana,<\/p>\n

THE COLONY’S simulated environment had been left decimated by Hurricane<\/p>\n

Katrina, a naturally occurring disaster zone that was slated to be<\/p>\n

bulldozed and turned into a public park. Empty buildings, weedy streets<\/p>\n

and the backwoods are all the colonists have to work with as they<\/p>\n

scavenge essentials for survival from their surroundings while fending<\/p>\n

off threats such as wild animals and malicious outsiders.<\/p>\n

Throughout<\/p>\n

this season, the colonists face daunting physical and emotional<\/p>\n

challenges as they attempt to survive in a world void of all the<\/p>\n

niceties they’ve ever known, including environmental dangers such as<\/p>\n

disastrous weather and indigenous wildlife.<\/p>\n

THE COLONY begins<\/p>\n

with the volunteers facing a 72 hour isolation period to<\/p>\n

psychologically shift their perspective from our modern world to the<\/p>\n

end of the world. Shortly after the integration into the colony, the<\/p>\n

threat of survival becomes imminent as hostile outsiders push them into<\/p>\n

a physical confrontation. How do the colonists respond and will their<\/p>\n

newfound skills be enough to protect their supplies and lives?<\/p>\n

Oh man.. it’s so weird watching the build up for Colony Season II.. I’m excited, nervous, curious, .. all the things I felt when I was in the show..\u00a0\u00a0 I can’t wait to see what the show ‘fee;s’ like.. i can’t wait to see how the characters develop on screen.. and how they react to it off screen.. <\/p>\n

\u00a0I remember so well the weird in between time right before our season aired.. we’d already had the crazy expereince of filuing.. and by now, we were already back into the rhythms of our lives, but we’d not yet figure out how the airing of the show would affect our lives..\u00a0 For exampe.. This time last year I had no clue that the produces would choose to end the first episode wit 45 seconds of my naked bod…<\/p>\n

what similar surprises are the new kids going to have\u00a0 ?\u00a0 how will their friendships translate to off screen (the 10 of us are still close and still exchange email every week)\u00a0 I wish them as much fun as we had\u00a0 <\/p>\n

New kids.. are you out there ? <\/p>\n

nite folks.. nite sam
