That's a scary thought.
Why would anybody voluntarily sign up for that? Do they know what Mars is?
Honestly it's pretty god damn pointless and a waste of all the fuel and resources sent there that we wont be able to retrieve, we would be better of building [BEEP] on the moon. Or a big habitable cylinder. Or any number of things more beneficial then sending people and supply's on a 9 month trip to a barren planet that we don't have the means to exploit yet.
It's the part that training is going to be a reality TV show with premium-cost numbers to dial to vote for your "favourite" that gets me. I think I'm going to stay on Earth. I do actually like going outside and being able to breathe without a helmet on. And eating food that isn't that vaccum-packed ice-cream sandwich.
I wonder if they get internet on Mars. Probably don't get Wifi. I've yet to hear of any cell phone operators offering calls to other planets.

3D printer using lunar regolith to construct building shells which can then be outfitted with airlocks and air recycling systems, to support more people. They would only need a small crew to build the framework then send over the more advanced components. Much better use of peoples time and money than going to Mars, and dropping valuable resources somewhere where we cant retrieve them.
So I just registered - I want to see where this goes!!!
....they weren't long looking for money lol

No laisair, we need you here. You're actually nice
...whatever. I doubt they've built a 3D lunar regolith airlock whatever thingy on Mars before. Still, call me materialistic or whatever...but I do actually like being able to use the internet??? And not stuck on some red rock place with three other people doing...whatever you do on Mars...I don't know, what do they do? Sit around and twiddle there thumbs??? I doubt that there's actually much to do on Mars. I wonder what happens if there's a fault with the oxygen supply. Or one of them gets sick. A lot of people who signed up for that seem to be eligible for a pension in 10 years time...
Good luck, I guess. I'm half tempted to do that, but I don't imagine there not going to take somebody who can't hear much. They say the moneys to make sure that you are fully comitted to going to Mars. Not that they could force you, I don't think.
