Anyone Watching Hunted?

[Irish#1]

This show is pretty interesting. It gives 8 pairs of people a one hour head start to go on the lamb and hide for 28 days without being caught. They are being hunted by a bunch of former law enforcement officials ranging from local police to FBI. It opens up your eyes to all the the technology and methods used by law enforcement to find criminals.

Example......There's a pair of ladies who had been on the run for 15 days. They were staying off the grid living in the woods. The hunters had no idea where they were until these ladies decided to celebrate their 15th day of not getting caught by going to Taco Bell and grabbing lunch. They found them because a "licence plate tracker" camera picked up their license plate on the highway. A few minutes later they apprehended them.

saw the original UK version that aired on Channel 4 in UK. From my memory all the runners ended up in Scotland hiding out in sheds and stuff lol

I was into this show when it premiered and subsequently learned that most of it is staged.

yeah in reality with a show like somebody running would just go and live in a basement somewhere and just chill out until they collected the money. I prefer that old Canadian show where the guy on horseback would chase people down lol

Damn, you just burst my bubble.

You have to admit the technology and methods they use are pretty interesting.

To catch a couple of the runners they did create a "Wanted" poster and posted it on Facebook. Someone ratted out one of the couples and was disappointed when they found out there was no reward. The wanted poster stated "possible reward". They overlooked "possible". lol
