Good synopsis. Meanwhile, that poor Pentecostal preacher...Poor fellow has walked straight into the gates of Hell.

Watched it last night.

At this point it's just a comedy show with Hillbilly and ExCon. I think hillbilly is looney and likes being difficult but he's done some work, EC is just lazy and doesn't want to do shite. They're really getting away with a lot of chaos.

Josh's turnaround continues. Complete 180. Weird.

I was thinking that this statement by him isn't exactly a turn on but for some dumbass 20 yr old chick, I guess so.

Jersey Rob doesn't express himself very well.

I thought last night was the best episode yet. They're actually being productive instead of just being fricksticks. They are going to need more than yoga to survive, but it's a good start.

i don't really dislike too many of the characters...the only things that I find truly ridiculous are red's little 3rd grade temper tantrums....and the hippy lady's attitude towards everyone else's opinions


she scoffs or forbids microwaves, penning up the chickens, etc. etc.

i hope she has a reaction if and when they kill a deer or a cow

Getting rid of Dave seems to have helped the vibe a lot.

Napoleon is still a loose cannon, but there is one less person apt to set him off.

And yeah Bella is batshit nuts, but she at least brings something to the table with her garden.

Would chickens eating cow dung really be a big problem? Pigs eat shite all the time and people still eat them. I don't know if there would be any specific health worry about that, or if it's just the gross factor.

I haven't watched last night's yet, but did watch Friday's.

I'm torn. Utopia Me is glad they booted Dave out, but actual me wishes he was still there because he was so fricking bitchy and childish and entertaining.

Josh and Napoleon talking about how horrible it would be to come home to Bella everyday was hilarious.

Redd should calm down a bit now that Dave is gone, but I still fully expect him to throw tantrums on the reg, which I look forward to.

Watching Friday's show now.

Good call going with the business-minded chick to be added to the group. You could kinda see that coming.

fricking Bri being a typical woman...talking to new marketing chick about the guys in Utopia, and making it VERY clear that the chili farmer is HERS. Talking about all the scratches and shite she left on him...typical woman bullshite.

Per new chick, Bella is fricking THIRSTY...and I now believe that "thirsty" is her favorite fricking word.

Getting a rooster = good idea. Getting a water filter and a $600 stove = horrible idea.

This new kid coming in is gonna give it to Unemployed Hex IMO.

I am REALLY hoping that this farmer shits all over Bella's gardening ideas..

Pastor Jon leaving will disrupt things I think...it's about to get wet and wild and crazy IMO.

Batshit Insane Bella all up on Josh's nuts again.

Dedeker getting some screen time finally. I guess it started with her banging the Poof Hair Lawyer.

Smooth Like Sandpaper Josh makes his move on Yoga Nikki, playing basically the "I'm the last man on earth" card. Nice.

I still say having a baby in Utopia is an awful, horrible, terrible idea.

Husky Hex throwing herself at Omaha Paul Bunyan is funny too. But I would slay that chick, so good on him...and he has his choice between her and Yoga Nikki it seems like.

Their money making ideas are hilarious. They should invite people to bring food for a Utopia party/feast. They charge like $50 a head and people bring their food for Chef Black to cook and for them to experience Utopia for a few hours.

Josh bringing some sense to a business meeting...everything he said was spot on.

I love how the show is all "live" and shite, yet they show us everything that is happening on the next episode. And looks like we have our first Utopia relationship fight next time...Chili Farmer Dude finally gets his chance to break free from Ditzy Asian Bri.

Is there any doubt at all that everyone at the fair was a paid extra and that the money they just paid was production provided too?

I definitely wonder how much of this is legit and how much is TV bullshite.

Also, I have my thoughts on the last two episodes, but it seems like nobody is even watching anymore.

I am watching but without challenges or a sense of purpose it just seems like a dead end. Also why do they want people getting their shite done so early? I mean there is nothing else to do.

The show just doesn't seem to have a point. It's completely rudderless right now.

It doesn't help that they've already lost two and added two cast members.

There could be actual conflict in them trying to figure out how to eat and whatnot once they shot their 5k, but tonight's episode and the easy money they got from whoring out their novelty kinda ruined that angle too. I thought they were going to have to produce something and then find a way to get it to Market to earn money. That could be interesting.

Yeah, hopefully the producers put and end to that easy money and just do it this once to get some cash flow. Regardless, once the novelty wears off no one will want to come see anyways.

I kinda think 15 people is too small for the ideal of the show. That's not even in the ballpark of a society.


Throw 50 people in there and see what they do. I actually liked the idea of a different state, but it'd never go anywhere long term with those two bozos off on their own nor with just two people either way.

I don't know how much longer I'll hang on, and it may not matter since they're just going to cancel it in a few weeks anyway.

Why don't they set up a boxing match with tough guy Red and one of the other guys and charge admission for the public. That would be great entertainment. I've been watching the show but I'm very close to giving up.
