Space Cadets Episode 1

Shrimp

I think this is gonna be good, I've never properly followed a reality TV show, but I do intend on following this.

Discuss..

One question, how will they replicate zero gravity?

muletide

Yeah looks good so far. I love the way they picked out the most suggestable/gullible and attention seeking gobsh1tes I love seeing them humiliated

Shrimp

I'm not sure if I love seeing people being humiliated, however I did like how they chose the most suggestive. Quite interesting.

p~b

they went into some detail, like changing the plugs from british to russian.

WizZard

I thought it was just going to be seven days of programming, but it looks like it's gonna be 4 weeks!
Not sure it can hold my attention for that long.

qz

Channel?

(edit: got it.)

They could hardly leave the bristish, that'd be such a give away.

Would have been funny if someone had dropped out when Johnny Vaughan gave them the chance to not take up the offer.

Lump

It'd be better if Johnny Vaughan was dropped.

I only caught a bit of the after thing on E4.

They had the people who were dropped at the last minute as they thought they might have the cop-on to work it out... and they came across as being REALLY thick... so I can only imagine what the final contestants are like if those were the smart ones.

Shrimp

The people do seem to be quite stupid. Comes with been very gullible I assume.

Elmo

Channel 4 for those of us that dont have it.

Mmmmm is this a Celeb thing?

mickymg2003

I dont see it goin all the way-somebody has to catch on eventully.I could be wrong but those actors look unstable especially the fat dude.

meldrew

Four of the contestants are actors , are we going to be told which?

BuffyBot

3 are actors, and the audience have known from the start.

kippy

I was looking forward to this all right.
The whole thing looks to be very interesting-especially the way in which they picked the contestants.
Its amazing how desperate some people are to get on reality TV.
Just to answer an earlier question-they do not need to simulate zero gravity-they have or are going to tell the contestants that they are only flying to the "edge of space" but still high enough to be technically in space-but without the zero gravity.

nachos

I love the way they keep on calling them "suggestible" instead of thick!
"It's like Chessington's world of adventure. By 10,000" :rolleyes:

Crucifix

I wish Johnny would stop telling us the concept of the program after every ad break.

beanyb

I missed the very start of the first programme and was just wondering if the actors know who the other actors are, or do they just know that there are other actors?

BuffyBot

The 3 actors know who each other are

But the concept is the only interesting thing about the show. The only really interesting parts from now on will be when contestants are voted off and they find out the truth.

I get the feeling that most of the real contestants (if they are real and it doesn't turn out to be a big joke on the audience) would describe themselves by saying something like "I'm mad me"

But that said, it does remind me of that terrible programme C4 had on before, cant remember the name of it, but if you know lapdance island you know what I'm talking about.

For me, the best part will be when they play pranks on them in space.
Not sure if they'll do this though or how far they'd go.
Its been mentioned before, but to show a UFO go by as their "flying" would be fun... given all are the suggestible type.

kippy

Well, Its all over now.
Thought it was a good experiment and the three guys came out of it looking stupid but reacted well.
