New reality TV show on Channel 4 here in the UK..

Or is it?

There has been some speculation about it being a hoax on the viewers, not the audience!?

I would normally not take any notice of this, apart from...

Ryan McBride is one of the contestants...

And yet he appears in the 'Give Blood' TV advert with Gordon Ramsay...

So the theory is that he's employed by Channel 4 to look like a gullible idiot?

What's the show like? I've heard what the idea of it is. Does it make good TV? Or is it just standard reality TV dross?

I don't know what the theory is, but the show is pretty boring so far.

I've only caught bits and pieces of it so far, but there just doesn't seem to be a lot going on.

Also, when you see the set that they are using for the 'space ship', I don't see how anyone will not notice that they aren't really in space.

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

I so wish this was getting picked up in the states, at least on SciFi Channel.
When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say "live and let live."
But if this ever changing world, in which we live in, makes you give in and cry, say "live and let die."
