Great Practical Joke?

This would be a great practical joke to play on people who are desperate to be on TV. Unfortunately, it really happened.

If a reality TV experiment continues filming after the show is canceled and no one watches it, did it really happen?

In the case of the Scottish series "Eden," that's exactly what happened.

According to the Guardian, 23 contestants entered into the wilds of the Scottish Highlands last March to live for a year, completely cut off from modern society.

By the end of the "social experiment," only 10 contestants remained. But "Eden" producers neglected to tell the participants the show was canceled in August, after only four episodes.

The group of 10 has emerged a year later to a very different world.

I read a different article that said the show was becoming a bit of a train wreck anyway with petty fights, jealousies about who(m) was hooking up with who(m), etc.  Some cast members were also spotted at the doctor's office in the closest town because they were reduced to eating something like chicken feed.  

At least they'll have a story they can tell every time they're with friends until people stop inviting them to parties. :)
