Fox lost a shite ton on this and the lack of airings was a death nail early in the experiment.

1) You need some type of competition besides a rando going home....maybe a perk...but need an end goal
2) Wasn't the show suppose to air like 3 times a week? Could hardly find it....made it what? 7 weeks?
3) The host...ugh

Hilarious. The cast sucked, production didn't care much and let the cast walk all over them.. On top of that they failed at promoting it.. Not that it would've helped

I actually liked the show and watched every episode. I admittedly enjoyed it way more than I should have. That being said, I won't really miss it.

I was just about to cancel my live subscription. They better refund us for this month if it's cancelled.

This failure is on the head of the casting director.

Didn't one girl almost contaminate the entire water supply because she wanted to let the cow walk in the supply to drink?

Legit thought this was canceled in September. I didn't hear a peep about this show since before Labor Day.

I have been waiting for this thread for a few weeks. I stopped watching about 4 weeks ago and never saw anything about it.

So what did they tell the Utopians? Did they just call them and say "yeah nobody's filming anymore so y'all can leave whenever you'd like"?

I quit watching after the 5 episode or so. I was wondering today if it had been cancelled yet. So much potential just pissed away.

I've only kept watching to catch the moment you're referring to and according to the article it appears we won't get it. Boo....

Absolutely the only reason I was still watching. I really wanted to see how they were going to cancel it.

The ending was shite, the feeds were going on like normal, then they cut to highlights. apparently they told the cast, took them on a tour of the control room, and now theyre in hotels til they have arranged for them to go home. Its funny how this morning all these people woke up like normal and just like that 50 million dollars down the drain.

I can't say that I am too surprised. The show was seeming more and more scripted as a last ditch effort to save the show.

No way Rob's wedding was 100% not for TV, and the drama with the bee keeper?

Worst host ever though.

No question. I have no idea why anybody would've ever thought that hipster douche was a good fit for something like that. Outside of a VERY small niche crowd of people in, say, southern California, that dude was completely unappealing in every way.

I was also looking forward to how the "experiment" ended as well, if they'd just be like "That's it, go home." Or maybe if they'd just shut all the cameras down and let them continue living and just never tell them anything.

With all the contact they get from the outside world, they'd find out within a few days.

Which sucks, because it would be awesome if they just let them keep at it for a year off the air.
