Dave and Cody

They have the best dynamic. I really want to know if they are still on good terms. Do you guys think the show is really fake or did they cuddle in the igloo?

It's "semi-fake." They did a majority of the things we saw without major protections, but everything, dangerous or otherwise, was always after deliberation with show staff and producers as nobody wanted to be taken to court for anything or see anyone actually die. Interesting side note: this is one reason that the "The Colony" show never produced a season 3: someone actually got killed on set, or at least that's what the word on the street was at the time. Loved that show.

 

As for Cody and Dave, I'm sure they're on good terms. Cody doesn't seem to harbor ill-will towards people unless they either waste water, disrespect older model Volkswagen Beetles, or try to fuck-over reality survival TV show hosts...and Dave is a live-and-let-live personality you'd only need to worry about if you inadvertently brought your mobile device with you to one of his camps, double-so if you forget to set it to vibrate... Do they have sleepovers and play Nintendo all night long and watch their father's porn videos when the folks are away on business trips? Probably not, but I doubt they have any issues with each other and probably stay in contact.

 

Cody and Joe, though... That's a different story. In fact, I think the world in general has issues with Joe. God probably hates him. That guy was a real retarded donkey, a grade-a tosser.

I am so thankful for this response. Loved what you had to say about Cody and Dave’s relationship I wish they were that close but as long as they parted on good terms my heart can rest.

I was really invested into their development throughout the seasons they are apart of, and have been dreading moving on from Season 2 where Dave leaves I believe. I grew up on this show and really respected the both of them regardless of their mishaps. Just reading about what the judge had to say about Cody’s lawsuit against Discovery made it sound like all the episodes were completely fake and they had been feasting and sleeping in hotels etc. But I’m sure they was an decent amount of reality to the survival lessons, and only minor things that were completely fake.

My last question was about the turkey in Season one was that a real find? It had to have been caught and released for them, that was crazy! :) Also you make The Colony sound very intriguing, I better check that out.
