Competitive reality TV shows are all the rage right now. These shows are hugely loved and highly followed. One such show currently enjoying a lot of spotlight is “Stars on Mars.” The show is currently airing its first season and has already received a lot of attention because of the recent feud between two of the participants on the show. It all started, when former professional cyclist and participant on the show, Lance Armstrong made certain remarks about transgender athletes.

One of the people who had hit Lance Armstrong back for his views was participant Ariel Winter. Using this as fodder, another participant on the show has raised questions about Winter’s credibility as a leader.

Marshawn Lynch questions Ariel Winter’s credibility in ongoing feud with Lance Armstrong

The reality show that simulates life on ‘Mars’ involves a setup wherein one of the members is chosen to lead all the participants. The participants are famous individuals loved by millions of Americans from different fields. The group leader receives the title of Base Commander and navigates the team through the tasks thrown at them. Modern Family actress Ariel Winter was among the favorites for the position. Amidst it all, retired NFL star Marshawn Lynch questioned her ability to lead the group properly. Stating her feud with Lance Armstrong as a reason, Lynch said that she can’t be trusted with impartiality.

When one of the participants nominated the 25-year-old to be the base commander, Lynch protested against it.” That’s the problem,” said the 37-year-old former athlete, “a lot of people don’t be feeling that kind of s*** though.” Responding to Lynch, Winter said that her feud with Lance Armstrong was just a matter between the two of them. However, Lynch was unconvinced and said this was an even bigger problem.

The argument left Ariel Winter in tears, but turned in her favor

According to Lynch, the feud stripped both Winter and Armstrong of their reliability. “Neither one of you should be base commander because while we are out there and if you got problems then that’s not just good for the team,” said the former NFL giant. However, Lynch had himself cast his vote for Lance Armstrong for the leadership along with Porsha Williams Guobadia.
