Stars on Mars

So it's Celebrity Big Brother, in a SciFi set.

Besides Rowsey, Armstrong and Winters, who are these people?

"Stars" must mean something different in the world of Reality TV, when even those on the show need to have it explained to each other who each other is,...

The set looks pretty, in a 70's BSG way, with the elements to make non-Space Nerds believe it is a 'real' space habitat. Meanwhile, the Space Nerds will be throwing plushy astronaut pillows at their screens at the designs and layout.

What this show needed, was a ringer, someone like Tim Dodds, Emily Calandrelli or Marcus House showing up and having these 'stars' running in circles while the ringer wins everything.

Two star rating, one for Shatner, one for Shatner being the only person on the show to have been to space.

Watch a bit, skip a bit, and repeat and hopefully you'll make it to the end. Way too many stupid conversations and moments here, everyone will be skipping ahead.

With a stellar cast of D list actors and athletes dug up from a cellar and narrated by Shatner, whoever thought this would be a good idea should never work in television again. Rhonda Rousey? Lance Armstrong? The most cringiest people I'd ever want to see doing anything. One of Bruce Willis's kids, like what has she done, ever?

This is so incredibly bad. I'm sure that there are house parties in LA happening every weekend that are more interesting than this. 1/10 for just the utter nonsense.

Definitely favoritism with the girl clique. They pass the promotions between themselves so no one that is not in the clique gets a chance. Is the show about all of them or just the red head Ariel Winters? Maybe you should have just called it Ariel Winters and crew on Mars! Let Lance have a turn as base commander because in my opinion EVERYONE should have a turn at it. This way you can see who is truly a good commander. Not someone who is continuously claiming the spotlight. I like the show for what it is but I don't like favoritism even on a show such as this. Ariel is too much in command. Please correct and get rid of her. Then the show would go up in my opinion.

The premise: A range of D-list "celebrities" go through a Mars simulation, which involves living in a fake rocket ship, completing space challenges, and voting out the weakest team member.

The execution: A bunch of people chaotically do things? Seriously, you can barely tell what's happening. The challenge isn't clear, there's no competition involved, everyone is constantly talking over each other, and the filming doesn't capture much. It's like watching a whole bunch of nothing.

For a show like this to survive, it needs one of the following: a charming cast of characters, funny reality tv drama, or compelling challenges/a competition element. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any of these. The interactions and challenges were painfully dull. Maybe it will improve, but I don't have high hopes.

Not really sure what's with all the super negative reviews-it's really not that serious. It's a cute reality tv game show with a unique premise. So far it's been really funny and lighthearted. It's been fun to see the real personalities of these athletes, actors, and reality tv personalities. A few people have definitely surprised me! The set up allows you to get to know the participants more and their personalities really shine through. I didn't have super high expectations but this has really been a fun surprise. It's not high brow entertainment but it's entertaining and fun. Similar to the US Traitors (except much less lying) so if you like that show I'd recommend this one!
