Stars on Mars is one of Fox’s solution to give people tv programming slot. Because you know all of the writers are on strike. Unscripted TV will be on the rise again because there are no writers to write scripts. They are still on the streets fighting for better compensation and treatment.  The experiment on Biosphere 2 likely serves as inspiration for this Reality TV show. There was a time when 8 people volunteered to live  this  model space colony. The structure made  to see how people will live on Mars. People became hostile and divided by alliances due to the isolation and air leaks on the cement material of the walls.

Another possible inspiration is Mars One, It was the time when  Endemol the company that made Big Brother, The Voice and The Traitors, Tried to send people to Mars in 2018 and make a reality show. Mars One got shelved due to the lack of funding. Stars On Mars will not send celebrities on Mars, Instead they will be in a desert that is a simulation of a Mars Colony.  They will have to wear those fashionable form fitting Martian space suits. Yes NASA‘s design of Space Suits for Mars is more sleek.  Unlike Earth’s moon that needs bulky space suits, Skin Tight suits are seen more suitable for the Martian environment.

I remember hearing about Mars One and their plan to send people to Mars for a reality show. It's a shame it didn't work out due to lack of funding. But this Stars on Mars concept sounds like an acceptable consolation prize for me! I'm curious to see how William Shatner will do as the host. And having Lance Armstrong on the show, even though he got banned from competing, adds an unexpected twist.

LOL, I can't believe Fox is resorting to unscripted TV because of the writers' strike! Porsha Williams and Ronda Rousey might have some clashes on Stars on Mars. Porsha is known for her dramatic nature and stirring up conflicts, while Ronda is a fierce competitor who doesn't back down easily. Their strong personalities could potentially lead to some heated arguments or intense disagreements as they navigate the challenges of the Martian simulation. Ronda is a tomboy and she is not really known to get along with girly girls which is like majority of the women this show cast.

Well, here's my take on Stars on Mars, folks. In my humble opinion, if I were to bet on someone to take home the victory, I'd put my money on Ronda Rousey and Richard Sherman. These two bring a fierce competitive spirit and athleticism to the table, which could give them a leg up in the Martian challenges. They seem like the types who won't back down easily.

Now, on the flip side, it's always tough to see who might face an early exit, but in my view, Porsha Williams might find herself in some hot water. You know how reality TV can get, and with potential clashes and drama, it's a slippery slope. But hey, this is all just my two cents, and in the end, it's anyone's game in this Martian showdown!

LOL how the hell they convince Porsha to join this show. She is known to be bitchy and Whiney. Sending her to a remote desert while wearing space suits will be a total trainwreck.

Stars on Mars should have been an opportunity for regular folks like you and me to experience the thrill of a Martian simulation. We crave adventure and want to test our limits just as much as these celebrities do. It's disheartening to see the same famous faces taking up all the spots, while the rest of us are left dreaming of what could have been. Ordinary people deserve a chance to shine and show the world what we're made of! I would have auditioned if this show is for everyone.

It's fun how Stars on Mars gathers famous people from various backgrounds and places them in such an unusual setting. I'm interested to see whether they get along or friggin fight one other. In some ways, it resembles a social experiment. I'm curious to watch how the contenders respond to the difficulties in the absence of astronaut training.

Hold on a second, fake Mars? Are they going to have fake aliens too? I can just picture a celebrity getting chased around by someone in a cardboard Martian costume. It's going to be out of this world ridiculous! I wonder if the celebrities will have to learn Martian survival skills. Are they going to teach them how to grow potatoes like in "The Martian" movie? I hope they have a backup plan in case the celebrity colonizers accidentally eat all the food.

It's funny to think about the conversations that might happen on fake Mars. "Hey Lance, remember that time you won all those cycling medals? Thanks to steroids! You know, with Ronda Rousey on Stars On Mars, I can't help but wonder if her way to cope from her PTSD from Holly Holm. Maybe she'll surprise us all and unleash some gravity-defying MMA moves on the Red Planet. Just imagine the Martian audience chanting, "Ronda! Ronda!" Talk about taking sports entertainment to new heights, or should I say, new orbits!

Captain Kirk is hosting? I'm a big fan of William Shatner, so I'm thrilled that he's hosting Stars On Mars. His experience playing Captain Kirk and his recent trip to space make him the perfect fit for this show
