****Warning contains spoilers!!!!I was enjoying this show up until the final episode. I watch Investigation Discovery every chance I get so I loved the concept of this show. There were a couple of things that seemed fake throughout the season like how willing family members were to talk to the hunters, or how the Hunters would sometimes guess the next move of the fugitives and be on target, but this last episode took the cake of phoniness. The fugitives had to log in to a computer to get instructions, withdraw money and take a plane all of which the hunters knew about it. THAT WAS RIDICULOUS! So after all the running and hiding, coming up with diversions only in the end to give the hunters a big heads up that would never happen in real life took away from the show. It didn't matter the last two couples won the money, that plot twist just screamed fake.

When they were first advertising this show I thought it was stupid. I was actually a criminal on the run for 6 years with a husband and 5 kids and there were common sense things that these people do that a real person on the run would not do. But here is my biggest deal: you have camera's following these people then the hunters have cell phone cameras chasing someone, how do they not see the camera man in the same space, then they have strangers giving them spare cars and stuff. People are so scared of violence right now, so I don't think there are as many hitchhiking's happening as much as the show claims it is. Plus as much as people know about cell phones and how they work, or how your parents can find you with one there are just too many mistakes that I really don't think real people would make. I know not everyone is very bright but this show makes you think almost every person is dumb. Then to win you have to sign into a website to get your get away plane... a site that is being watched by the hunters. All of you that thought you could get pointers on how to stay on the run, there is nothing to see here folks

Spoiler alert! This is a joke! Let's see....give some idiotic people 1 hour to prepare (if it were me, I'd have a bag at the ready), only allow them to withdraw limited money with the show's plastic from ATMs, and then break every law to track them down. I understand signing away your right to privacy for the show, but what about other individuals (edited out, of course) caught in the information dragnet of street cams, etc.? Looking at the first episode, regarding the tall couple, I would have asked the bus driver to let me off a few blocks before the terminal. There's not a shred of reality in this. In reality, the agencies would have to (I hope) get court orders for most of their tracking activities.Pure crap!

100% real. Anyone doubting the authenticity of it needs to read the rules and learn some basic film production. Nothing fake about it at all. The shows contestants have signed release forms allowing the hunters to gain access to everything without a warrant or any court order as such would be needed in real life. The camera crews aren't filming live either. It's edited back into the show to give a viewer the perspective of the fugitives but they aren't actually there when the hunters are looking for them. There's a lot that goes into a TV show and those with basic knowledge know this show is real and how it's being filmed. The rest of the show is pretty self explanatory. It reminds me of Amazing Race but so much better and keeps you on the edge of your seat!
