Show was kind of interesting. Can't believe how dumb the greyhound bus people were. Calendar lady is lucky that her stupidity got overshadowed
I really want to go on this show. The deck is so ridiculously stacked against you though. I downloaded the British original and its so much better. In the first ep of the British one they pull up one guy's search history and its all about what size penis is normal. No reason to include it other than to be a dick to this guy. Show is awesome. I just want to know the full rules though. Like the couple hanging out in the nice house in the Atlanta suburbs. Can they just chill there because the hunters can't come in or can they come in and running actually makes sense? But total BS that the hunters are like oh that random car driving by is very suspicious. It must have the people in it.
Seems like if you knew you were going to be on the show you'd have a go bag with cash already in it. Getting money out of an ATM at a bus station and then taking an actual bus from there was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Arkadin you probably know that couple so please report on their thought process. I'd also have acquaintances lined up to help, assuming they would watch close family and friends. Maybe have the neighbor of a family member drive you to a hideout, then another one pick you up and move you somewhere else, etc. My guess is that they can come in if they truly suspect the person is there. Kind of like irl police and having a warrant. Otherwise they could be hanging out the window yelling shit Kramer style and still be in the game.
I would have just laid low in that house away from windows. Really if you just stayed at a friend they couldn't connect to you by making sure your online presence doesn't connect then it wouldn't be too hard. And just how do you only take $100 out? Take it all out and never go to an ATM again.
They can only take 100 out at a time. I feel like this could be really easy if you're willing to be completely miserable and hungry for 28 days or whatever it is. Get a tent, buy a fuck ton of granola bars, and camp out near somewhere with a water fountain.
A couple of my friends were talking about this show and a friend of ours from college and how we always say that he probably has cash, a vehicle, and a go bag in a storage locker somewhere and he could drop off the grid in minutes if he wanted to. Guy is ridiculously smart and a little shady. We joked about how if he was on the show, they would cut to the investigators and they would be like "there has been absolutely no sign of X.X., not even a blip and they would cut to him and he would be boating on a lake or water skiing without a care in the world in plain site."...then at 27 days, 23 hours, and 55 minutes he would hack into their computers and tell them the account number and bank he would like his winnings routed to and then he would be hanging out on a beach in Thailand the next day. This is a guy who changed the way some major retailers now handle returns(this was late 80's). In Target for instance he could tell which items were on sale nationally and which items were location discounts only. He would see a stack of items that a store was blowing out, buy them, then return them for cash with no receipts at a different location. He is also the only person to ever pass a speech class at UND without ever giving a speech....they had to change the syllabus after he figured out as long as he averaged a 95 on the 3 tests during the semester he could take zeros on speeches and still get a C.
Watch it and enjoy the show. Hope the cocky fuckers get caught, would like to see the 2 muslims win. They've played a good game. I didn't know they had as many tag readers as they do, it'd be easier for us who have seen the show to know to stay off of interstates now but I probably would've lost similarly to the 2 that did in Alabama.
I'm actually pulling for the cocky team, but pretty sure that their risk taking tactics will eventually get them caught. I'm surprised the muslims are still in it TBH. Thought they were least likely to win because of their appearance and the climate today, but pleasantly proved wrong as many strangers have helped them along the way
I still think this show is total bullshit and fake as hell. I'll finish this season, but they could have made this so much better.
I definitely need to watch the British version to make a comparison. There's definitely liberal editing for entertainment purposes. But i don't really watch it to think
British version is sooooo much better. I like the Muslim guys the most and hope they win. Cool to see how being Muslim has helped them.
Got hooked on this show at some point after it started. I caught the final 4 or 5 episodes so I didn't get to see half the groups that got caught early on. I probably would have enjoyed that. Did any groups get caught within the first couple of days? Spoiler Anyway, I was rooting on the cocky guys so I was glad to see they made it. Didn't really care about the husband/wife that made it but pretty nice move by them to set up the hunters to rush the wrong people in the last day. I wish they would have 1 more episode where they showed all the groups after they got caught and explained to them how they got them. That would be great seeing their reactions. I hope another season of this gets green lighted.
I really liked this show until the final instructions. These people evaded them for a month and on the last day the hunters get the courtesy of finding out exactly where they are? SMH.
Its how the British show works too. I don't like it at all. I laughed at how fake it was though when the guy is like hey, what about using seaplane? Totally wasn't told anything, I just figured why use a real airport? If they did another season I'd do it and use TMB to bounce around the south. It would be kinda easy using posters here since I'd have no real life connection to them to track.
The more I think about it, the more I think the husband & wife team did it the smartest way. Literally not taking any type of electronics with you is the way to go. Hitchhiking would suck but seems like it would be the most effective by far.
Surprised to see 2 teams win it all, figured they'd catch the male team since they were so cocky through it all. Finale could def tell it was scripted but still entertaining. Would watch another season.
