It's all paranoia and as much a part of the "suggestibility" the show is all about. Some people have heard it's a hoax and are so suggestible themselves, they will go to all lengths to beleive it- looking for minor, insignificant things that prove nothng, and even things that aren't there. IMO all the evidence that people beleive the public are being haoxed falls flat on its face (and, no, I don't work for endemol, nor am I stupid or gullible, before the Guvnor tries to suggest that. And I personally wouldn't take your blog as gospel truth either.)

The link that you have provided in this thread as proof of how this is a hoax is inaccurate. It appears to be written by you, so i think you should note how your post on that website explains NOTHING about why this show is a hoax on the viewer.

Also, there was never 125 eyes in the bowl like they revealed to the viewers.

There were in fact 210 .

Quote:
And in the diary room, one person farts, he was the first person to do in to the room too. I don’t see that happening.

Claims that it is very unlikely that the first person into the 'diary room' would have farted? Oh, the whole show is definately a hoax on the viewers then. Rolling Eyes

Quote:
The second person in used a far fetched quote from another contestant, again, hard to believe. To make things worse, one actor somehow managed to “kick off” the toe nail of ill bill actor Steve. He then holds his foot up to one of the cameras and shows his foot, saying something along the lines of “I might as well show you what you want to see”. It was a bit too silly for an actor because he is supposed to give the impression he is NOT an actor. I did not check to see if he had stopped limping later, but they may have thrown something in like that for good measure, but I am only guessing.

So a 'normal' person wouldn't have realised there were cameras there and that they would no doubt want a shot of his toenail hanging off??

I fail to see how or why Endemol, or in fact Zeppotron, would even want to hoax the viewers into thinking that they were playing a hoax on a group of 9 wannabes. THERE WOULD BE NO POINT WHATSOEVER.


but what about the rest of it. i could go as far to saying some bits were just padding. anyway there was never 210 eyes in there.

There is far more to it than just what was written in the article, but it was rushed out before the following show. The toe nail was to show it was staged more than anything, not to prove it was a hoax. But im taking you have no arguments with the rest of it then.

I will say no more on the subject because, im not going to bother watching. there are better things to be doing with my time.

lets just say i have had all the confirmation i can get that it is a hoax, but will keep stum. just like others are doing about the hoax.

you have been warned. and i promise not to say i told you so.....well i promise to try.

channel 4/endemol or gullible, there is only three choices im afraid. but i feel it wrong to up their viewing figures by making a fuss now, otherwise that would make me just as stupid.

Conspiracy theories - don't you just love them! Laughing

Of course some of the contestants have been on TV before - hence why they applied to be on TV again! Quite often at least a couple of the Big Brother HMs have made apperances before, often on Endemol shows.

And quite funny reading a review in today's paper saying Space Cadets doesn't work as the contestant's aren't the outgoing wanabees that they moan about being on Big Brother!


I'm still loving this show, and like the way things are unfolding slowly. Even if the hoax is on us, I don't care. It's a great show, scripted or not!

Why in the TV Guides and the Sky EPG do they describe tonight as the show where they 'launch into space', yet Johnny said it was Monday?

It's tonight, Jay.

The 'launch' was meant to be tonight. Has in fact been postponed until tomorrow night. Obviously too late to change what has been printed in the tv guides.

Why was it postponed? They were meant to be having Space Cadets live on E4 and everything from tonight, now they'll be screening god knows what.

They showed a clip of the 4 cadets in the spaceship earlier.... I assume the launch did take place tonight and we'll see it tomorrow
