Yeah, she was kicked off before the feeds even started for trying to contact the other contestants while in sequester.

True story.

I understand the reasoning, but I'm still kinda surprised by the amount of self-censorship and actual censorship involved in the live feed.


Bleeping Sloshy joshy as he was about to finish the second bar of "all the single ladies" while putting away the chickens to avoid paying royalties was really funny though.

The livestream censoring is kind of hilarious because they fail to censor the language on the free streams no matter how hard they try and they can't really account for things like Bella doing naked gardening at random times. I get that some of it is necessary for copyright and trademark purposes but stop trying to make internet webcams FCC-friendly.

Haha yep, several times I've heard bri or mike be all fuucc***** **at and the censor whiffed that one and the immediate gently caress and poo poo right after.

Would it be hard to maintain some sort of five second delay if they really wanted to censor that hard?

The feeds are all ready on a delay... 10 minutes to be exact.
Only the 360 degree cam gimmick that is $5.oo/month is the closest to real time but that cam has no audio.

Last night's broadcast dropped even more in the ratings to a 0.7, it lost to a rerun of Tim Allen's show Last Man Standing on ABC.

Because she's a liar. She's a real estate marketer; I imagine she lives a 99% normal lady life and is just active on prepper forums or something, maybe makes the occasional weekend YouTube video.

To go with their ramen or something? One minute these people are all about not cooking over a fire and needing to order all of their food, and now they're killing a deer. I'm a little confused.

The ramen is something they just seem to cook throughout the day for snacks and lunches. One of them is a chef and cooks full meals, especially at dinner. Hex and Red both hunt so they're not gonna turn away free meat. Most of their food comes from a delivery service, though.

That's just television producer parlor tricks to soften the fact that Utopia has dismal ratings.
FOX doesn't give a poo poo about Live+3 DVR ratings because those who watch via DVR skip the ad breaks.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

The important metric is Commerical Live+3 DVR rating, but that's almost never reported because Live+3 DVR is higher and therefore more press release friendly.
