Series One: Round One


Our 10 castaways have been marooned on Mars. A shuttle has been dispatched to retrieve them. But there is only enough space for 9 on board. Who deserves to come back and who do you want to Strand on Mars?

It's up to you. And it may be a tough decision. Some of these folks are obnoxious and irritating, some are over exposed, and others are rather despicable.

Vote for the people least deserving of a spot on the return trip. Come back each week and vote from the remaining castaways, until we decide who we will Strand on Mars!

Now let's meet our Series One castaways:

1. Ann Coulter, the radical right-wing commentator and shock jock let's the bile flow for attention. Along with inferring John Edwards is a 'faggot', Ann has said, "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." Are we better off if she stayed on Mars?



2. Miley Cyrus, a.k.a Hannah Montana is the child star daughter of Achey Breaky Billy Ray Cyrus. The ubiquitous 'tween star is now the ubiquitous teen star. Yes, Smiley Miley, and her Disney pop music, is everywhere! Should Mars be her next domain?



3. Levi Johnston, the baby daddy of Bristol Palin's child (apparently Grandma Sarah's minimalist approach to sex education -'Don't do it' is not very effective) has flown the Wasilla coop and is looking for a reality TV career. Is that something we should let loose on the world or are his 15 minutes up?



4. Michael Vick, the former Falcons quarterback has returned to his football career after serving 18 months for involvement in a dog fighting ring. Vick pled guilty and admitted to conduct that was "not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible". Instead of a job with the Philadelphia Eagles, is Mars a more deserving fate?



5. Glenn Beck, is yet another radical right winger. This FoxNews commentator is known for his crying antics and hypocrisy. Recently, Beck ranted on about how the US health care system was the best in the world and doesn't need fixing. While at CNN, just 18 months earlier Beck spoke from his own experience with the US health care system and was very critical of it. He also accused our mixed race President of being racist. Perhaps his tears will be the much sought after water on Mars.


6. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the Republican voice on ABC's The View, seems to just repeat the slant and 'facts' from FoxNews and not so much her own original opinions. She recently was accused of plagiarizing a book about cilliacs disease, allegedly again repeating someone else's words. She survived Survivor Outback, could she survive the red planet?



7. Dr. Phil McGraw, the spawn of Oprah Winfrey has been spouting his hill-billified psycho-analytics on his own show as well as adding his two cents about the octo-mom or who ever is currently in the news. Let's not forget he's also the author of a fitness book. Is there anyone on Earth who hasn't had their fill of Dr. Phil?



8. Joe Jonas, it wouldn't be right to strand all of the Jonas brothers, so how about just Joe? After all he looks the least like the other two. Had enough of their music, TV shows, concert movie, purity rings? How 'bout we break up this trio for good?




9. Reese Witherspoon just gets under some people's skin with her perfect and perky attitude. Bad enough she wrangled cutie pahtootie Ryan Phillipe into marrying her, then she wins an Oscar and kicks him to the curb. How 'bout a dose of real loneliness on Mars, and save us from another Legally Blonde movie.



10. Rachel Ray is evvvvvvvvvverywhere! She has a half dozen shows on the Food Network, her own syndicated talk show, and is in what seems like every other commercial. Plus you walk into a store and there are her cook books, cookware, dog food etc. Is it time to take her out of the equation and give someone else a chance?


Well there they are folks our Martian castaways. Place your vote in the side bar for who you'd like to Strand on Mars! This week vote for up to four. And don't forget to comeback and see who got saved, and whose fate is still in your hands. Results and next voting round begins Thursday August 27.
