Space Cadets

I watched it too and it looks great.

9 gullibles, 3 stooges and a decent presenter.

The contstants quoted £20 million per person for a space holiday. Who hasn't sussed the maths yet ? None of them !!!

Better than the bloody jungle ..........

If they can not tell by glancing out of the window at the stars or the pattern of lights on the ground that the plane is constantly changing direction and not heading to Russia or Baikonur, Kazakhstan than we are indeed in for some fun.

So having convinced them that you can cruise 124 miles above the earth without experiencing weightlessness tomorrow's show attempts to convince them of the existence of the hazlenut cluster. Quality.

Reality TV that's not real!

LOL!

I didn't watch it (hardly ever watch TV) but I might tune in.

Though, I don't think reality TV has been real for a while, else it would be me slumped on my sofa with a bottle of wine watching the TV where there's... me, slumped on the sofa with a bottle of wine, watching the TV which has, me, slumped on the sofa...

Now I don't even know if I'm typing this or just watching myself type it... Help!

Regs,

Rich.

Mmmm, first chink in their armour?
Watch this video, and look for the guy who helped Gordon Ramsey (looks like the weirdo in Nighty Night with the fuzzy hair). Remind you of anyone in Space Cadets?

Presumably, these half-wits have signed paperwork to allow all filming to be broadcast?

But......... surely after the 'Gotcha' and 'Doh' moments they could sue for misrepresentation of the facts?

Or are they such jolly types that they've said "Oh go on then, make me look like a gullible twat on national TV - I really don't mind".

Surely the joke is on us?

Yeah what's the big deal? We're all in space already.

How is the joke on us, when we know it's a hoax from the start?

I find this current trend of people being embarrased/belittled/made to look a fool on TV, rather unpleasant, but the viewing figures seem to indicate that lots of people enjoy TV programmes offering vicarious insults and abuse.

I don't understand why anyone would want to endure the rudeness and personal insults of Anne Robinson on 'The Weakest Link', even though it's tongue in cheek.

'Dragon's Den' is another example of deliberate verbal abuse. I suppose these Captains of Industry politely saying 'No thanks' wouldn't do much for the viewing figures?

John.

John, perhaps they are all actors, and therefore the joke is on us.

Come on, people are stupid, but seriously, the questions would be asked by now.

The stupid ones are the ones watching this shite. Get some decent music on, throw your telly out, there is more to life.

How long do you have to watch it before being classified as stupid or being able to declare something as shite?

Spock

Reading the synopsis is the papers prior to airing was sufficient in this case.

You've seen one reality TV show you've seen them all.

Not the voyueristic experience that rows my boat I'm afraid.

As it happens you are correct imo in this instance. The program is toilet of the first class flush variety. I did watch two episodes to reach this conclusion. I gave it a fair chance.

The Penis-gate incident in tonight's show followed by the Christmas in space song were ample indications of imminent porta loo overflow.

Will I watch again? "Probably" I say, as I sob into my Andrex. I'm not strong enough to avoid the mind control of the channel 4 producers. Besides, these dumb arses surely will wake up at some point and realise what's going on?

Don't knock it till you've tried it though. Same goes for music really.

Some Shite floats and some sinks and that's a good balance overall!

Spock,

As I understand it the "contestants" were miked up up, the rooms were covered by cameras, and there was a diary room!

Any muppet who could not see through that scenario should not be allowed the vote IMHO.

Even I would have seen there was a rabbit off somewhere.

Talking in the pub last night to a mate who is a psyschiatrist, I understand that all the contestants were psychometrically profiled to ensure they were suggestibile i.e. gullible.

Did they really have a chance, or is the lure of celebrity too strong?

Regards

Nic

Nicnaim me old chum

You said pub. Pub, Pub, Pub.
I can't do this sober, if you were nearer we could do this over a beer or two!

Does your psyschiatrist mate want to earn a few quid via email. You see it all started when I was a young boy....

Regards

Spock

Spock,

This guy would do anything for money, but that is the way the NHS is going these days!

He is currently Medical Director so does not see so many patients these days. When he does he specialises in adolescent psyschiatry; the question is "Are you young enough Punk"!

Sorry been reading too many of Berlin Fritz's threads recently.

If you really need help, he is not the only psychiatrist I know!!!! Twitch.... Nurse!!!!

Bring me another bottle

Nic

I like the Darkness. Bugger, wrong thread, wrong comment, wrong everything.

Is the nurse nice? Get the bed turned down i'm checking in for an oil change.

Even Mrs Spock is concerned.

Here's the bloke I mentioned earlier, pictured in Space Cadets and the Blood advert:

Like a Virgin

Saw a bit of this the other night.

Totally and utterly execrable and that's being polite.
