I used to love Mantracker, but after I talked with my sister-in-laws boyfriend, who was on the show, I lost a little bit of respect for it. Obviously you are running around in the bush with a camera crew following you, so he would have to be an idiot not to find you, but they constantly are telling you what to do. For example : "Wait for us to set up the cameras then come through these bushes and run down the road. Then wait for us to move ahead of you".

Now in the big scheme of things you really can't blame them because filming a show based on a 100% real chase would be impossible, but finding that out really stole some of the 'magic' for me.
