DearEvette May 13, 2023 Share May 13, 2023 Quote 12 actors, musicians, and reality TV personalities trade in their possessions, status and glamorous lifestyles on Earth for an insane and hilarious summer on "Mars,” where they compete until there is just one "celebronaut" left standing. William Shatner serves as Mission Control and will deliver intergalactic tasks to these shining stars throughout their journey on the red planet.

scuyalie June 6, 2023 Share June 6, 2023 I liked this show a lot more than I expected to. I’m a Seahawks fan so I’m probably in the target market as long as Marshawn and Richard Sherman last, but I really liked the campy-vibes of the show, and laughed a ton. If it’s really 48hrs between challenges, it seems like Fox or Hulu must have enough outtakes to just put another 30 or 60 minutes per show up of additional funny side conversations between cast members, I wish they’d do that. 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/138934-stars-on-mars-general-discussion/#findComment-8032587

DearEvette June 7, 2023 Author Share June 7, 2023 I decided to watch this solely for Marshawn Lynch and he did not disappoint. I especially loved that he simply refused to allow Lance Armstrong to use his bathroom. REFUSED. And said it was because Lance looked like he ate lima beans and he did not want no lima bean shit in his bathroom. I was on the floor. I cannot stand Lance Armstrong and was so hoping Marshawn would not be polite. He wasn't and so day made. Whoever is voicing their "AI" has a nice dry wit. I loved the intro of Natash Leggoro 'Pedian'. LOL At first I was confused why Ariel Winter was squeeing about Lance Armstrong and then she called him 'so cool' and I was like, girl, you need to Google. But then it clicked she was confusing him with Neil Armstrong, and I was so embarrassed for her. Porsha : 'I'mma put astronaut on my IG bio for real." Did Natasha Leggero called Willaim Shatner "Shatty Daddy?" I think she did. HA!

seacliffsal June 7, 2023 Share June 7, 2023 I enjoyed this waaaay more than I have any right to have enjoyed it! Shatner looks great (he's 93 or 94 I think) and, of course, loved his delivery of his lines. I was sorry to see Chris leave as I thought his personality was a bit different from a lot of the others and so he brought a quirkiness that I would find more interesting than the 'hotness' of Adam. I was surprised that Natasha was deemed Mission Critical. I think production has done a good job with the layout and structure of this show. My biggest disappoint is the inclusion of Lance Armstrong. I really don't like the celebrity of those who have been caught cheating or furthering themselves illegally. His title should be 'cheater' instead of 'cyclist.' Oh well. The producers want him there, so he is there (and I know he has fans, I'm just not one of them).

Her desire for everyone to be happy and do what they want is wonderful, but when the project requires specific tasks (and according to Natasha their instructions stated that physical strength was needed for the cave portion), the leader needs to make some decisions. She seems very nice and well-liked, but the 'commander' position was not a good fit for her. This continues to be very fun-especially when Shatner speaks to them.

rmontro June 13, 2023 Share June 13, 2023 Tough break for Tallulah. I guess the idea is to vote off the person keeping you from completing your mission, but I wonder if there is going to be some strategy creeping into this. Like let's vote off the popular person or the capable person because they're likely to win, like on Survivor. I also wondered how legit the wrestling match between Marshawn and Ronda was. Not that I doubt Ronda's skill, but that's a lot of strength and bulk she was taking down there. I think Marshawn let her win, or put in minimal effort because he didn't want to hurt her. Did they say if there is some sort of prize for winning this? Is it for charity? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/138934-stars-on-mars-general-discussion/#findComment-8041548

(yeah, I don't know names, yet). Every time someone says "here on Mars," I still tell my TV, "You know you're not really on Mars, right?" I get that they are just playing the part, but it's so weird.

This show isn't as cutthroat as Survivor (yet), because when I used to watch that show people would beg to get voted off, but they would vote someone else off because the alliance game was more important. Ronda got mad because her friend got voted off. She had gotten comfortable with a little group of athletes, and losing Richard punctured her world she had set up. I don't think it's unusual for her to feel that way, and it looks like by this week she had recovered nicely.
