In the show's new replacement process, the Utopians vote for whom they'd like to see leave their environment and lifestyle. The two people to receive the most votes would be up for elimination along with one pioneer selected by America -- someone whom home viewers believe aren't pulling their weight or living up to the potential in utopia.
Five pioneers voted Bella Chartrand, a 45-year-old single real estate entrepreneur and survivalist prepper from Griffin, GA, for exile. Four votes were also cast for two people, which declared a tie for the second nomination.
The tie was between Bri Nyugen, a 20-year-old single veterinary technician and student from Westminster, CA, and Red Vanwinkle, a 42-year-old married handyman and farmer from Cecilia, KY. Red decided to sacrifice himself and break the tie, becoming the definite second nomination for replacement.
However, within minutes, the pioneers learned America had voted to exile Bri. Bri therefore became the third nomination anyway. The three pioneers will have a few days to convince their peers to keep them around.

Bella was nominated for constantly fighting with her fellow pioneers and being obsessed with the garden when she was no longer in charge of it. Many pioneers clashed with her.
Red's nomination was for similar reasons. The pioneers said he was always angry and disapproved of how he had purposely separated himself from the group. Red had opted to live on his own means and do everything his own way. He had decided to make himself an outcast in utopia.
Lastly, Bri was blamed for being lazy and relaxing too much. She also didn't do the one job she had been assigned to in the barn very well.
Aaron Thomas, a 26-year-old single private chef from Jackson, MS, had also received two votes because a couple pioneers figured anyone could cook the food and they didn't need a personal chef.
