Ok, so let's for a moment imagine they manage to get there and survive all of the adversities.
What's to stop them from going "Ya know what? Screw all these cameras... *smash*"? Also, a very high probability for random weirdos who are ok with being sent on such a trip (no offense to anybody here who would be interested) to have underlying psychological conditions, which they may not even be aware of and could pass undetected in a psych evaluation, that could very well surface after a bit of forced cohabitation with other people that aren't even their relatives or friends and end up in suicide or mass murder.
I know the above goes for astronauts as well, but astronauts are usually handpicked from the military over years of observation, then years of training. Here they're just getting a bunch of people that sign up for it and doing a quick screening for the best. And their definition of best is probably more leaning towards the TV aspect than the astronaut aspect.
As far as i understood the article they are going to participate in a ten year training as well. Should be enough time to find out if there are issues preventing the organization to take this guy on Mars
