I was really digging it for the first three episodes, and looked forward to episode 4. Episode 4 is when I ended up FFWDing through half of it, and a sizable chunk of my enthusiasm went out the window.
It’s apparently doing terribly in the ratings. It started off with a miserable 4.6 million viewers – third place for both hours – for the special Sunday night premiere, where they hoped to capitalize on the NFL audience. They then lost almost half that small audience by Tuesday and were down to a laughable 2 million by Friday. (Article.)
With those ratings, if Fox hadn’t already poured $50 million into it, it would already be cancelled.
But but Hex is a Huntress! That’s her job. A huntress.
I wonder what the chances are Red actually tracked and killed that deer on his own. If he did then shame on this stupid show for glossing over it seeing as it’s the only instance of survival that’s happened on this show so far. If he didn’t really one man it like they showed then the show is stupid. Either way stupid.
People aren’t watching because it’s nothing like advertised. It’s got no surviving - might as well watch *Survivor *or The Amazing Race!
They spend SO much time on the flirting and making out and naked swimming and little nighttime parties. It’s The Real World except with older people who aren’t learning any important life lessons.
I wish they’d be out of food and money already. Then it’d be more interesting.
They’ll never run out of money because all they have to do is offer tours for $40. The yoga is a stupid idea.
Imagine if the Big Brother contestants could offer tours of the house (and just to come meet the houseguests in person) for $40? They’d make a fortune.
I don’t disagree that Bella is a control freak, but when when Red (or was it Dave? either way, a very unstable person with a history of destroying food and wasting water) is holding something that represents a large amount of your future food supply… and when you’re in a survival situation with limited food and water, then I think it’s perfectly reasonable to yell at them to put it down that very instant.
A normal person might want to read the packets. But these are the type of people who walk off and “lose” your seeds. Or find it hilarious to destroy the seeds. Or defecate on something precious to the group. Or open up the packet and swallow the seeds because they want a snack.
Who cares, though? If Dave decided to pop open the pack and chow down, what does that matter? This isn’t Naked and Afraid. They can just call the delivery guy and order more seeds.
I thought it was about the current UK series called Utopia. I was a little confused by comments like “train wreck”, since it was well-received, and “6 episodes”, because that’s how many episodes our Utopia has per series anyway.
They only vote people out once a month, so only Red has been exiled so far. Now the World Series is pre-empting it next week, so it will be a full two weeks between episodes. The funny thing is, they previewed next episode. As in, they already edited together next episode, which won’t air for two weeks. That’s how much faith the producers have that anything entertaining will happen in the next two weeks.
I think it’s finally starting to dawn on them that challenges and alliance politics comprise 90% of the entertainment value of Big Brother. Utopia doesn’t have any of either, leaving it about 10% as entertaining as Big Brother.
