Utopia

Anyone watch this show? It's on Fox.
15 strangers are brought to a plot of land with a shelter, lake, farm, and some cows and chickens and live there for 1 year. The goal is to create a self-sustainable utopian society.
Anywho, one of the women on the show is pregnant! They have little to no food and only dirty(ish) water. Am I the only one that is a little confused/maddened/curious by her decision to participate? I mean, I know people were pregnant back in the good ole days and lived like this, but infant mortality rates were much higher back then. Plus, they only got to pack items that the entire group decided on that fit into a bin and she was hiding her pregnancy at that point so we know she didn't pack any prenatals in the bin! I'll admit though, her pregnancy has me intrigued enough to continue watching the show despite the annoying bickering and utter stupidity. I just want to see how she gives birth there and cares for the infant afterwards.
Anyone else watch this show or have an opinion on the pregnant woman being there for a year?
**And I hope this hasn't been discussed already. I searched "utopia" and found nothing.

Re: Utopia
Its pretty much a clusterf*ck of people speaking over one another and arguing about everything humanly possible. They definitely picked personalities that were completely opposite (for Ex: A Pentacostal pastor, a polyamorous woman, and a few anti-religion, off the grid, cosmic energy eating hippie types) in order to promote drama. I'm thinking it will get better once they sort out the beginning stuff, but I really just want to see the pregnant woman.
I've watched every season of survivor and even though they boil their water, they all come home with nasty parasites and all sorts of awful things happening with their bodies. I just can't believe someone would want to subject their unborn baby to that!
I'm really hoping she's not really pregnant and just trying to start drama.

I did catch the pregnant lady and was kind of curious to see how that played out. But not curious enough to tune in every week.
On a semi related note, I have a friend who is a camera woman and just finished shooting "Born in the Wild." All the births she shot went according to plan but I asked her what would happen if things went awry. She said there was some kind of medical professional on site - not an OB or midwife - but that they really were not supposed to intervene. I thought this was totally cray.
One of the women acted as her own midwife and coached her husband through the birth. In the middle of the Alaskan wild. On one hand I'm like "hell yeah, we are women hear us roar!" And on the other I'm like "this woman is fucking BSC!"
Not sure when it's airing but I know it will be on Lifetime.

The "doctor" is a holistic doctor, for what that's worth. And the vet assistant is very young and I doubt knows anything about pregnancy or birth. I'm sure pregnant girl is going to be monitored off the camera, and they will either send someone in or take her out when delivery time comes. Should be interesting though if she stays on the show that long!
