Greeting a new Utopia day, reflecting on the night before.
It’s September! A new month! Though there’s every chance that our Utopians don’t know this, so bombarded with drama last night (read all about Red’s meltdown here) that they’d lose all sense of time. It’s not so much “Day 4” as it is “0 Days without an accident.”
Considering how much energy Utopians expended on fighting yesterday, it’s not so surprising that the overnight scene was (mostly) less than crazy. Actually, it might be imperative. Let’s all calm down and regroup and not threaten each other with hoses, knives, or passive-aggression? GLAD WE’RE ON THE SAME PAGE HERE.
JONATHAN’S STRUGGLE
You would have thought Day 3 was one of social improvement for Jonathan, who finally got to preach (watch his sermon here) and connect with Utopians on a level comfortable for him. But by nightfall, he was commiserating with Red about his desire to leave Utopia -- even going so far as to walk right up to the gates with him.
Thankfully it didn’t take; he’s still here. But if his overnight strolls around Utopia are any indication, it’s still a subject very much on his mind.
CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?
With Red removed from the group for a while, Mike presided over another meeting (3 in 3 days!) about rule-setting -- and -breaking -- in Utopia. Will they have a conflict resolution class on Day 4? Mike: “We’re starting kindergarten tomorrow. No really, we’ve gotta do basic fundamentals.” No one disagrees here!
Lawyer Mike, who along with Amanda (a behavioral specialist) is emerging as one of the most level-headed Utopians around, just wants to make cheese and hang in the hammock with Nikki and Dedeker.
TOO TIRED
Red, who had the biggest night of anyone, looked exhausted in his final pre-bed conversation with Dave. Nearby Hex and Amanda commiserated on the intensity of Day 3. “Silver lining is we haven’t killed each other!” said Hex. Yet.
Yet.
UTOPIA. It's always on. Jump into the live streams here, or get the app.
