I actually kind of appreciate that there aren't staged interviews or anything like that, and that so far all the conflict seems to be from bringing a ton of crazy strangers together.

Seriously, a lot of these people seem to have anger management problems / poor coping skills. I know I'm personally rather weak-willed and I'd be breaking down (probably crying) from being in a stressful situation like that myself, but then again I wouldn't put myself on a show like this. But these people just flip out at the drop of a hat like toddlers throwing a tantrum. It's kind of surprising how many of them are so selfish, too. Like yeah, in my personal utopia I'd get everything I want when I want it, or whatever, but this isn't just any one person's 'utopia' -- it's a communal experiment, so you're going to have to learn to work with the team. But people are all like "well I don't want it, why should anyone else get what I don't want!"

I actually had started watching Big Brother because I wandered into this thread and read about it.

BB was a lot more entertaining. (I haven't watched any live feeds -- was just catching up on the last season. So I can't really compare the two) At least there they have structured competitions and an endgame. And even if someone is cutthroat or a lovely person, at least it plays into it somehow. In Utopia, there are a bunch of whiny tantrum-throwing assholes but no real way to get them out and no real reason to watch them do anything, either.
