A new Mantracker?

[Byrns]

Bah, there is only one Mantracker.

Now this. End of the line. His TV trail boss in Toronto says Grant quit. The cowboy says he had no choice. The details are lost in mudslinging, though Grant insists he wasn’t asking for a raise in his $84,000 annual grubstake.

I've played golf with Terry Grant a few times and I have to say he's a real down to earth guy.

[Redliner]

That sucks. Show just won't be the same without him.

Who or what is a Mantracker . . .

Terry Grant was the only person OLN auditioned when they were looking to do this TV show. They were so impressed they hired him.

The show will never be the same without him.

Oh Mantracker.

I partied with Mantracker at a work conference in Ottawa in October. I got hammered, and started running my mouth, and we ended up "fighting" in the middle of the bar. Mostly just messing around, but he smacked me good right upside the head. The next day my boss said "I don't know what happened... I kept hearing these smacking sounds, and I turn around and you're fighting Mantracker in the middle of the bar". Among many other ridiculous things that happened that night, he gave me his room number. I said "Mantracker, as cool as it would be, I'm not that kinda girl", and he said "well you've got my room number if you change your mind". He also recorded my outgoing voice message, so when you called me you head "This is Mantracker. We can't come to the phone right now because Parch and I are currently engaged in really, really great sex. Once she gets her clothes back on she'll give you a call back". I accidently deleted it when I was drunk this weekend Good times. He's actually a pretty wicked guy.

While the show has never been the same for me since then, there's no way you can have Mantracker without the original Mantracker. No replacement will even compare.

Watched it once and it was ridiculous and horrible, just cancel it.

I dunno, I kind of like the show... even though it's obviously either faked or re-shot post chase.

Once you find out it will already be too late, he'll have you in his sights.

Lies.

Mantracker wouldn't need to give you his room key. He would simply show up at your door after following clues as to your whereabouts.

Just like any "reality" show.

For days they’ve peppered Bonterra Productions and Rogers’ OLN network with e-mails and they’ve launched a protest Facebook page that quickly soared over 2,500 members. Mostly women, I notice. Oh to be a fireman or a cowboy.

I'm sure Mrs. Cowperson will be wailing, pulling out her hair and signing the petition tonight when I give her the bad news.

I actually met Mantracker in High River a year or so ago, catching him walking down the street. He's bigger and wider of shoulder than I thought and that steely gaze is as intimidating and as real as you might have imagined. Nice guy that day though.

It isn't "faked" but they do re-shoot based on what happened.

Hahaha, he did track me! I got up to go to the bathroom at one point, and he tracked me there. Apparently he asked my boss where I went, he said he didn't know. While I was washing my hands, he poked his head in and asked me if I needed any help. I'm very glad he didn't track me to my room... he's almost as old as my dad. Gross.

I will sum up every episode of Mantracker for those that have not seen it.

Mantracker: "See that rock? It's turned over. They went that way."

[Rathji]

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.

So that's why he conveniently never notices the camera crew with the hiding prey.
