How about the wedding?? And the BIG breakup? I don’t know how these people can survive the winter.
I’m probably the only person still “watching” this trainwreck, but even I get through an episode in around 15 minutes thanks to FFWDing.
It came back from the week off from the World Series way worse than it was before. They added confessionals, which feel super out of place and wrong for this show. They changed it to America choosing all three nominees for eviction, and after America chose the three, one of them (Bri) walked off the show in disgust. Shortly after that, Mike the lawyer dude got a call about a family emergency, so he left the show.
Apparently just for the hell of it, the producers then made them vote out somebody else, breaking tradition with pretty much every other vote-someone-out show ever. When one of the nominees walks off, that’s the vote.
So now they’re down three people (Mike the Lawyer, Rob the libertarian, and Bri the lazy animal chick), two of whom (Mike and Rob) were some of the more interesting and watchable people on the show. Next week it appears they’re just going to bring in two people and choose one to stay, so they don’t seem to have a problem being low on people for extended periods of time. And the two they’re bringing in look absolutely horrible.
The worst trainwreck I have ever witnessed on network tv. I can’t look away.
Wasn’t that the second time Bri was chosen by America to fuck off?
Fox confirmed today show’s been cancelled, effective immediately.
NNNOOOO!!! What will Hex the Huntress do now with no one to drunk fight with?
Well, hopefully this is the death knell for over-produced reality shows. Nothing says “I have no faith in the concept of this show” than stocking it with narcissists and volatile personalities. The concept actually had some merit but they ruined it from the beginning by their casting decisions.
Hey guys. Saw maybe 10 minutes of this, but felt like chiming in nonetheless.
I didn’t find it particularly objectionable or painful to watch…mainly because there was one thing I could never, ever get past: POINTLESS. Watching the same scenery episode after episode isn’t compelling. Doing/shirking simple chores isn’t compelling. Stupid, pointless bickering isn’t compelling…heck, I could barely tolerate it on Shark Tank when there actually were somewhat important things at stake.
If the premise of your show is “a bunch of people from different backgrounds in the same place”, you either need to have them doing something fun to watch or have a competition aspect. 7 Lives Xposed, which ran on Playboy TV for a few years, didn’t have anyone I gave a crap about either, but at least there was sex! And of course, at this point we don’t need to rehash why Survivor was a huge hit from day one and still the gold standard for successful reality TV after over 14 years.
I honestly wonder how Fox thought this would work. Yeah, it had the requisite personalities, but if nothing’s at stake, it amounts to swearing at trees (and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone actually did that). Bizarre but nothing worth writing home about.
Well, the good news is that the children are going home. I thought it was the height of irresponsibility to bring children into this. Now at least it’s just a weird vacation instead of their souls slowly crushed into a fine powder by the lunatics they’re surrounded by month after month after month.
Er? I didn’t watch every episode, but the only reference I remember to children on the Utopia landscape were occasional paying ‘visitors’ and one unborn kid.
