Hmmm...call me an old skeptic if you will.....

But for one thing I can't see how the most gullible, suggestible, and unbright individual would not wonder why the time zone in Khazakstan was the same as the UK...even C4 can't change daylight hours.

And for another thing I would not think C4 could be allowed, by whatever code these media folks work under, to be so unethical as to fry people's brains without permission for the sake of the rest of our "entertainment".

Maybe it is the great British public who are being hoaxed.....I wonder???????

IMHO this show is the biggest load of rubbish to be foisted as entertainment on the British Public since "Pets win prizes" ... utter nonsense and utterly pointless

it wasnt without permission. Their families agreed to it and were "in on it" so to speak.

I thought it was interesting.

I personally think they're all in on it, and are hoaxing the public but maybe that's just me

I loved pets win prizes! Although I guess I was about 8 when it was on..... I do remember a ridiculous episode of the show where these farmers had to identify their cows by feeling their udders!.....oh ok it was kinda appalling!

I did wonder about the time zone issue, wondering how anyone could fall for that. Even though their watches were removed, there would still be the whole jet lag thing, depending on which part of "Russia" they were going to...

Although I had to laugh at the planting of Russian litter. ROFLMAO.

How on earth (or on any other planet for that matter) did they get picked

They must have been the best of a very poor bunch - from planet "Bimbo" presumably! They've probably never been further than a drunken orgy package holiday to Ibiza.

Take 'em into space and leave them there.

Cruel, aren't I

After applying for a topic-less reality TV show, going to an interview day where they were tested for claustrophobia and to see how gulliable and ready to conform they were.

Could some explain what the program in question is about please? I don't get much time for T.V. anymore, and I'd like to know what this 'Space Cadets' thing is. I have images of astronauts wearing shorts and neckerchiefs, while trying to earn their 'anti-grav' badges!
