As is the case with most of these "reality" shows, I often wonder about the legitimacy of the participants' backgrounds.
How did Red, while stirrin' mash in the hollers of Kentucky, find out that there was a casting call for a potential show about Utopians? Did he read it in a trade magazine in his dentist's waiting room?
Why would a Pentecostal preacher have any interest in reality tv?
Could they have found flakier women...oh yeah, it's Cali.
Racial profiling - angry black ex-con yelling "I ain't jackin' that!' Jackin'...is that hood?
Pregnant single mother (wow...bad decision here) who apparently has no concern for prenatal care. “I’m pregnant, but not powerless,” says Amanda, who plans to keep the baby a secret as long as she can in Utopia. Well that secret lasted about 2/3 of the way through Episode 1. Calling BS on a cast member asking if she is pregnant...no sane man would EVER ask a woman that unless it was undeniably obvious.
As mentioned previously, that whiskey bottle sure did get a lot of folks drunk! And it refills itself too...sweet!
What is going to happen the first time Huntress Hex tries to bring down a deer with her bow? Not sure that will be so well received. I guess it depends on how hungry they get.
The narrator - seriously, this guy got a job on network television? Leon Redbone indeed.
Favorite scene not yet mentioned - I'm sure this was a trick of editing, but during Red and Aaron's very vocal and borderline violent confrontation, Josh and Mike are seen calmly clipping their nails and discussing pedicures!
