If they are daft enough to fall for it then i'll laugh along with the others, these space cadets have years of training they have high degrees and they are super fit.

Like I said before, of course these people are being extremely gullible. But can you honestly justify the levels of pain and humiliation they will suffer? Some of them may become depressed, develop panic disorders, become afraid to even go outside because they feel so wretched.

I cannot condone such cruel disregard for another fellow human;s feelings.

Just beacuse you wouldn't, doesnt mean others can't. You can honestly say you would sit there in front of the television, and laugh at these poor souls misfortunes?

And anyway, some people are saying "If they were thick enough to fall for the joke then they deserve it."
That's not right.
If someone isn't intelligent, is that any reason to make a mockery out of them?

No. Shows like this are one of the many reasons I do not watch Television any more. Unless its something worthwhile like a documentary.

Nobody, and I mean Nobody, regardless of age, gulliability (is that even a word?), intelligence, whatever, deserves to be treated like that. Blatant Violation of human rights.

i most probally would fall for it too but if you cant laugh at yourself what can you laugh at?

my dad watches it and he laughs at it because he knows that all of it's crap as he trained to be an astrounaut.

that zero gravity thing though.,.... i wouldnt believe that.

I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard of it it seems pretty harsh.

Although while they are going to feel really, really stupid, if they're getting a load of cash for it at the end I guess it won't be too bad for them.

I do think it's a bit too extreme though. It's really messing with people's minds

OMG. I do absolutely hate this program. I was reading a report about it in the paper the other day. It was saying that they were selecting all the wrong types of people to go in. Ones that are not averly confident and will probally be embarrased by it for a long time.

Going into space could be some off their dreams, but then their just going to go and detroy tha. I hate it so much.

Thats harsh and cold-hearted. Playing a prank on somebody, THEN put it on TV. They obviously went way too far.

I'm not too bothered, but what I do find funny is that one American channel has paid millions to Channel 4 to broadcast it, and another has paid even more for the rights to a second series! I pay no more attention to this show than any other reality TV shows. I know this wont make them go away, but I'm not going to solve anything by moaning about it. And if I dont watch it then I wont get annoyed.

I think it's a double hoax, and that they're playing a joke on the public.
