Today there is a multicultural market in Utopia. Some footage from the outside 360 camera.

Thanks

But how is voting in the US? In the Netherlands the Utopians vote on each other and the new Utopian determined which of the three nominees has to leaf. But here the Utopians vote twice? Also the Utopians must tell their vote in the transmitter room before so they can not change their vote on the last moment. The same in the US?

Hahaha. But don't underestimated the Dutch tempar. Here you can see how one is throwing a glass to another. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hSbLQi89G-U

In the Netherlands, the most active 1000 streamers can vote who must leave. This first three Utopians are nominated by the Elite. The Utopians give the votes and the elite vote are just counting as one vote divided over three Utopians. So the streamers influence is almost zero. Yep, al the Utopians that leave where replaced by the television makers. Well i believe they never worked together as a group. Hahaha. It are still small groups with their own ideas. In the Netherlands the same. After 9 months there is still one person who never worked.

For the USA it's breakfast time, in Holland it's Dinner time.

Ernesto the new guy is in.

Hahaha only one for the bootcamp.

Utopia live in the US vs the Netherlands with a live concert.

I don't know the rules in Utopia US but in the Netherlands the Utopians get a fee for their rent and so on. Family and visitors get a time table. If they stay to long, they call one of the Utopians to the diary room where they give them instructions. If that doesn't help they send security and the viewer get a streamlock.

1) No. They are not allowed to share their phone number. Also their internet on the smartphone, tablet and notebook are all monitored and they are not allowed to google themselves, go on facebook and so on. Email and regular post is checked as well like in a prison.All visitor have to sign a contract and are not allowed to carry any cigarettes or phones in Utopia. 2) Funny but there is less nudity in the Dutch version then in the US. Some times you see a woman in her underwear but nothing more. I think it's to regular for us. There was sex on the stream and they even mount a camera above the showers and toilets but we don't care about that. If there is sex it's in bed or under the showers.

Well not everyone can order things. They have one Utopian in charge of the money and since several days a real accountant with a business plan. The Utopians know about the "Utopian for a year" since two days and most of them are busy with the question "what to do" Each Utopian gets one hour to discuss with their family what to do. Some have said they leave at the end but know they regret to speak this out loud. It makes them a potential voting victim. A positive point for continuing is the planning for the future.

Hahaha, talking about space heathers. They had one but one of the funnie guys (he thinks he is) put some confetti in it. When they had a meeting the blower started to heat and they had a little fire in the house. The winner of the program (they now call it Utopian of the year) wil received the cash what they have urned minus the bills they get. That's only for one person, the rest gets nothing excepts there own deposit. Also the Dutch Utopians spend there money like they are kings. The biggest spendings are for cigarettes. When they are out of there smokes on a Sunday the call a courier to bring the cigarettes. In the Netherlands you pay around €7,- euro for a box of 25 cigarettes ($9,-) and for the courier they pay $25,- dollar. This week someone ordered some shoes for €30,- and call a courier for €20,- euro. Normal they get €15,- euro each week to buy stuff for themselves but they have always enough money for cigarettes (we think some fraud with the groceries). Another spending: They rent a jacuzzi, bouncy castle, fireworks, remote controlled helikopters etc. Utopia 2.0 it's an Utopia ;)

5) I think the mean reason for a bigger succes in the Netherlands then in the US is the fact that we didn't have Big Brother for a long time. So most viewers where glad to see some sort of a Big Brother back on the screen. Also this is the only show with live streams at the moment. The show is an average succes but with die hard fans who visit Utopia when they can. If there is an event there are between the 100 and 400 visitors and they all bring cash. A lot of John de Molls tv experiment are hugh successes but his own tv network was a disaster for him. You can buy all the famous host around the world but not the viewers. 6) the same. On the live stream we know when a tv moment happens. Out of the blue some Utopians start a conversation and we know it's a tv moment. Also the reality on tv is different then on the live streams. 7) Well thats where all the streamers waiting for. Some Utopians think they are a star when they left the farm. But they just have to find a job because they aren't famous (maybe one).

In this year the family can visit them once for a period of 3 hours. Most of them miss sex. There is one couple who has regular sex and one lesbian who does it with a female hetero. There where four people who quit this experiment. Two of them because of homesick, one because of a medical problem and the other because of a medical problem with his girlfriend. The participants have to pay a sum of money which depends on their ability to pay. They say that this varied between 2500 and 25 000 euro's per person. If you voluntarily leave Utopia then you lose your money. The Utopians may leave at the end of the year and then their investment repaid in three installments. The dutch Utopians don't care about he price money. They care about there tv carriere. If they didn't spent so much on the wrong items the price money could be about €100.000,- euro. They now have €17.000,- to spend after a market and a concert. Also there is now an discussion about the reward for hard working Utopians.

Well it's still the first season and the Utopians have heard yesterday that Utopia is going to continue till ....? 1. The casting is the same as in the US. Most of the people without work or wannabe a tv star. 2. The Show started with an 1.5 miljoen viewers and now these days it's around 600.000. Our country has 18 miljoen people. It started on 31 december so it's was cold without heating. For the viewers it was a challenge how they managed in the cold without, food, water or electricity and no phone. So they start with building a fireplace. A week later they suddenly get a smartphone . There was much argument about food because two athletes were among those eating more than the ordinary person. First Utopian left the house after two weeks due to homesickness. Up on the day of today, there are still groups and there is a lot of gossip. The other questions later.

To keep this topic clean, for all the Dutch question http://forums.previously.tv/topic/14885-utopia-nl-what-do-you-want-to-know/

Hi All, I'am from the Netherlands and part a mod on a dutch forum for the US version of Utopia. I see differnet questions on twitter, newsfeeds and now on the live discussion about the Dutch version. So ask your questions here and I'll try to answer them. Just a few thinks to know: - It's 9 hours later in the Netherlands, - I'am a 40 hour working man. - I'am almost 50 and only learn English 35 years ago ;) So have a little patient. And here is the first question: We have seen the most strange things in Utopia. Yesterday we saw an older man and woman who teaches Chinese Natural Philosophy, we have had piano sesions where visitors lay down on the ground, a Darts tournament, Sunday ther is wheelchair dansing, there was a Buddhist monk and so on but no White Tantra. Only normal yoga.

The same as it started in the Netherlands with a tour and an entrance fee of €10,- euro. But the directors of the program killed this after one weekend.

Hi, glad i found this forum. I'am from the dutch Utopia Forum and i try to watch the live streams thru a proxy. Sadley i can't get a premium pass. they simpley reject my payment. In the discussion for selling the cows, it was the same in the Neteherlands and now they make chees form the milk and also there is a little one born. What they did was fix the tractor and sell that one. So John, they did sell stuff.
