Holy hell...
...Some of the people they chose to be "cavemen" are useless.
If they are any indication, if electricity and all other modern conveniences ever disappeared (for whatever reason) most "urbanites" would die within a month.
Oh well, that just means more resources for those who are not "clueless".
Also there is no way they would actually recreate what happened. If they did, the girls would be the partners of the leader male and be sleeping with him. Even the guy said " they aren't my girlfriends, they aren't sleeping with me, why should I feed them?". I wonder if the anthropologist on the show will mention this at any point, or if he will be forced to be PC.
LOST SPOILERS , IN THE ENDINGit was about the characters and purgatory
It is obvious that they crafted and edited together the storyline and characters to make it a little more interesting. Nothing about it was real. This is how all "reality shows" work.
shareIs it me, or "Robert the builder" character from this episode the same guy as the cocaine addict from "Your body on drugs"? What a ripoff!
shareI was thinking the same thing, so I checked a little. I'm 90% sure "Robert the Builder" from Caveman is "Rob the Construction Worker" from drugs because I looked at the tattoos. It looks like he's got a black band around his left wrist, and another just under the elbow, with a clover on the inner forearm closer to the elbow, and another clover on the outer forearm. They were kinda blurry on my pauses, but they look the same on both.
That being said, I'm assuming he wasn't on the coke in Caveman, and he was much less of an arse. So I'm adding "Coke makes you a jerk" to the list of negatives about coke. :D
I certainly hope this was not supposed to be in any way an academic research. They apparently picked their "cavemen" entirely based on appearances - they were all very beautiful or buff (and the men's 5 o'clock shadows NEVER changed in their 7 days). The black chick complained about being hungry but when they brought back the elk she suddenly decided she didn't eat meat?
I think next time they should focus more on subjects with brains rather than long flowing hair or muscles.

They are the same guy. How lazy can you be to reuse an actor like that. Especially one from an episode where people will remember the cocaine guy
Watching the caveman ep. ruined this show for me
