Is anyone else watching this show?

Its a neat show and a neat idea, but it seems a little unrealistic.

The volunteers have a massive factory with TONS of stuff (A lot of it doesn't seem like you'd find it in a single factory). Also, drinking from the LA river is suicide on a good day, the simple filter that they constructed doesn't seem sufficient.

Also, with the power generation, it seemed like they were going to massive pains to try and hook up some sort of engine to an alternator to generate power including some sort of arcane woodfuel generator. Why not just hook the alternator up to a bicycle or something of that nature? Even a simple steam engine would be much simpler than some of the stuff they were trying to pull together.

Very interesting show! The finale is next week - I think it's amazing how into the experience they all are, and I think there will be some culture shock when they are finally let back into the real world.
