Stars on Mars

I sat here reading some of these reviews out loud to my husband while we laughed hysterically. Some of you need to get a grip. He teaches astronomy and we both know perfectly well that nothing about this "simulation" is realistic. Of course it isn't. They're in the middle of an Australian desert - Fox couldn't afford to send them to Mars, sorry to let you down.

It's a reality show. If you don't love reality shows, you won't love this. It's not for space nerds, or sci-fi fans. It's for reality show fans who also think space is neat. No, there aren't huge celebrities on this show. How often do you see reality shows with A-list celebrities? But the ones they chose can still be entertaining to watch on a personal level. Lance/Neil/Louie Armstrong is pretty funny, for example, especially his relationship with the other athletes on the show. I don't love reality TV personalities, but many of these people are naturally entertaining.

I don't love reality shows. However this one is more entertaining than usual, can be pretty funny, and made us laugh out loud several times. It's watchable, not bingeable. Still, it doesn't deserve the hate it's getting over dumb reasons.

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.

Think "Big Brother" but, it's on Mars and comes with everything that entails.

My biggest issue with the show, is the overwhelming number of fundamentally unlikable "Stars"... most of which I'd never heard of before. (Though, I am British..!)

I've always liked the little I've seen of Ariel in the past, but this show has completely changed my opinion.

I cannot stand her! (Or Adam / Porsha for that matter.)

Lance, Ronda and Marshawn seem like they'd been great to be around... though, Marshawn does have an issue with listening when on-mission! Haha!

Tinashe and Andy seem like solid choices to be on the show. (I'd never heard of Tinashe before this.)

If this gets a second season, or a British version, I'd probably watch it again.. But I guess that would also depend on the spread of contestants.

I recently tuned in to Stars on Mars, featuring the talented duo of Rhonda Rousey and Lance Armstrong. While I was eager to see these two stars in action, I must admit that the show left me with mixed feelings.

Rhonda Rousey's performance was impressive, as expected. Her athleticism and acting skills were on full display, and she truly carried the show during her scenes. Lance Armstrong, in a surprising turn, showcased his charm and delivered a respectable performance, considering his background in cycling.

However, the show's overall appeal suffered due to the lackluster performances from some of the other actors. Their silly and less-than-serious approach made it challenging to fully immerse myself in the storyline. This, unfortunately, took away from the overall entertainment value.

While I enjoyed witnessing Rhonda and Lance in action, Stars on Mars struggled to hold my attention throughout the entire show. The engaging moments were overshadowed by the inconsistency in the supporting cast's performances. It's a shame, as the potential for greatness was there.

In conclusion, Stars on Mars may be worth watching if you're a die-hard fan of Rhonda Rousey and Lance Armstrong. Their moments on screen are undoubtedly the highlights of the show. However, be prepared for some distractions caused by the less serious performances from other actors.

A cool show. Though,I was getting pissed off at some point. Just had to watch till the end because Marshawn was still in the house.

My shout-out to them. Lance Armstrong, Ronda Rousey and Marshawn Lynch. They are so Neutral and very Mission Critical , ready for Missions and tasks without any annoying/irritating alliances.

I'll recommend the show to be more challenging if there'll be a next season 2 or another kinda of show. No form of alliances, do the task assigned and wait for the host to evict.

The alliances formed really made the show kind of immature. Aside that, it's a very good show.
