Cool TV Show Alert: ‘Hunted’
I don't normally watch a lot of Television. But lately there IS one show that I can seem to get enough of.... "HUNTED" on CBS. (Wednesday Nights at 7pm). In fact, I probably wouldn't even be watching the show, if it weren't for The AFC Championship Game about a week and a half ago. The premiere episode aired immediately after that game, and I just happened to have had the television on. And I'm glad it did, because now I'm HOOKED!
So what exactly is "HUNTED"? Well, here's the definite description from CBS.com:
"Hunted follows nine teams of two in a real-life manhunt as they attempt the nearly impossible task of disappearing in today’s vast digital world as highly skilled investigators combine state-of-the-art tracking methods with traditional tactics to pursue and catch them. From searching their targets’ homes and scouring their internet and cell phone histories, to identifying behavioral patterns, Hunters in the field and Command Center investigators work together to identify clues to potential hiding places and collaborators that can ultimately lead to capture. Will the anxiety of being fugitives on the run cause teams to make a critical error, or will they be able to stay off the grid long enough to avoid being found within 100,000 square miles of the southeastern United States? A grand prize of $250,000 will be awarded to each team that successfully evades being caught for up to 28 days"
Sounds easy, right? However, there are some RULES:
- Fugitives must stay within a 100,000-square mile hunt zone.
- Fugitives will be given a one-hour head start before Hunters are alerted.
- Fugitives are provided limited funds.
- Command Center is given only a name, photo, and last known location.
- Fugitives that evade capture win $250,000 per team.
Could you evade the authorities for 250K? I don't know...these guys and gals are pretty SHARP! But I would LOVE to try! I know if was on the run, I would hide out at a Star 101.7 Listener's house! Maybe even YOURS! But if I do that, PLEASE don't turn me in.....I'll make it worth your while, ok? :-)
