Anyone besides me watching the NBC show "Siberia"?

It's pretty formulaic... especially in the Post-Lost world.

Plot: Bunch of "reality show" contestants are taken to Siberia... typical sort of last one standing wins the money. Producers have a camp, a ways off from the contestants, cameramen, etc.

A couple episodes in, things take a sort of "Lost" like turn... producers disappear (their camp is wrecked, no sign of anyone), camera guys have no idea what's going on either.
Noises in the night, weird stuff happening... some tracks on the ground that look.. well...like Sleestak tracks, really.

Then the first snow hits....

Show's kinda fun, but you do kinda see where it's going.

Anyone else watching it?

I saw the first one. I started a few minutes late (didn't know what show it was) and saw through it after about 10 minutes. All the characters are somehow even more stereotypically shallow than actual reality show contestants. They did a pretty good job giving it that reality show look though.

Didn't hold my interest long enough. If it gets better maybe I'll start watching it again when it hits Netflix, if it makes it that far.

I think you can watch it on NBC's web site...
I just about gave up on the second episode, but something in the scenes for the third made think, "Hmm... maybe not a reality show after all...".

"Siberia" is about 15 miles north of Winnipeg. Who knew?

LOL.. yeah, I noticed where it was filmed.

I've been watching it from the start. The first episode almost made me stop watching it, but by the second episode you notice that it's a "faux Survivor reality" show then it's fun. The characters are painfully formulaic: the nerd, the jock, the princess, the basket case, the old wise one, the crazy one, etc. But whatever, it's entertaining.
