I'm VERY surprised no one has posted about this yet as it's halfway through.

It's basically a new show in the UK from the makers of Big Brother. 10 would be "Cosmonauts" have been chosen for a trip of a lifetime, they will be trained up in Russia and blasted into "near Space" for a 5 day long space mission. Only there's a bit ofa catch...

Unbeknownst to the contestants, they're not in Russia at all, they're in a disused Army base in England. The training facility and shuttle are a massive set, and the shuttle itself is basically a set on hydraulics and an Imax screen outside in an aircraft hangar.

At this point in the show, 3 Cosmonauts have been chosen and are now in what they think is "Near Space", also aboard the shuttle are 3 actors, one is playing at being a contestant, and the other two are the shuttle's "crew".

Given that the whole point of the show is as a hoax, if any of the 3 remaining contestants figures it out, the entire show will fall flat, although there are 7 remaining contestants still in the training facility oblivious to the hoax.

So, whaddya think? Cruel or entertainment?

EDIT : I forgot, in case you think I'm making it up,

Wait... is that the point of the show? They're working for the reward, but it's not even real?

That's.... really cruel. Why would the promise a reward if they can't actually do it?

So that we can laugh at their misery.

This is what drove England to colonize everything.

And I thought the Joe Schmo Show was funny.
