UTOPIA: Red Talks Volunteering to Be Up for Elimination in Place of Bri

On Tuesday’s episode of UTOPIA, the pioneers found themselves in a big of tough spot: when the pioneers set out to pick their two nominated contestants who should be up for elimination, there was a tie between second and third placed vote-getters Bri and Red. (Bella was in first place, solo.) Red stepped up and volunteered to take Bri’s place in the final voting round for the month, but it ended up being only a temporary reprieve: Bri was America’s choice to be put up for elimination. (The results of the vote will be revealed on the episode of UTOPIA that airs on Fox tonight.)

But Red has no regrets about trying to save Bri from being up for elimination.

“Well, regardless of whether Bri has done perfect or had imperfect issues with her run on UTOPIA, I made a promise in the beginning that I would do everything I could to take care of her when she was on the show,” Red explained. “She needs to be on the show more than I do at the moment. I have a great life on the outside world, and she may have to face some hardships. I’m not really sure. But she wants to be there really, really bad. I don’t think she has a whole lot going for her outside of the gates. So, I think that was the best. So in order for me to do whatever it was possible for me to do, I was pretty much obligated to stand up. If I make a promise, I have to keep it.”

And things get tense in tonight’s episode as the up-for-elimination UTOPIAns find out their fate.

“Well, you can see the three of us there in front of the board to get the vote,” Red teased. “You’ll see the emotions — because the emotions was running high. It’s just going to be something, if you’ve been following along, that you’re going to want to see.”
