Hey Escaping Realty Fam! It's summertime & we wanted to watch something FUN and NEW and WEIRD. So, we were left with no other option than to watch Fox's new reality competition: Stars on Mars!! And honestly, we're into it. We're introduced to our competitors (the most random group of celebrities you could put together) on the incredibly realistic Mars simulation that they will call home for 24 days. Given that this is a brand new show, we have a LOT of thoughts.

We're discussing production value and set design, the game concept, and the missions & responsibilities of the cast. Do we know what any of it means yet? NO. Do we fully comprehend what it is they're playing for & why we should care? NO. But are we enjoying the heck out of the show so far? Yeah. Yeah, we are.

Episodes are airing every Monday night this summer (for 8 episodes) on Fox & streaming next day on Hulu. We hope you'll watch along with us on this wild journey into the mysterious unknown of 'space' & reality tv.
