It is well documented that whenever there is a TV show or whatever where the audience knows something that the contestants do not, there must be some sort of hoax going on and perhaps it is the audience who is being fooled.
And sometimes these theories themselves come under scrutiny.
So in terms of this programme I can see different conspiracies that may be occurring, each getting more complicated than the last.
1. Basic - The contestants are the ones being fooled, we (the audience) is fully in the know. We know they are on earth, they think they are in space.
2. Secondary - It is the audience who is being hoodwinked, the contestants are all actors or at least in on the plot. They and we know they are on earth, we don't know that they know.
3.Tertary - We don't know that they don't know we know. The "contestants" (actors) think that they are actually fooling us into thinking they are in space, we just think they are idiots.
4. Quaternary - We don't know that they know they are actually in space. The contestants are actually in space; we think they are on earth.
5. Quintinary - (my personal favourite) we don't know that they know that we are all actually in space and they are still on earth, possibly laughing at us.
