I really enjoyed that.

It really sheds light on the fitness level of professional athletes. Also the command they have over the mental aspect of it.

Shane's younger brother seemed to be a pretty spry, active and in shape 23? year old kid.....and a 34 year old Shane Doan mopped the floor with him.

I enjoyed that episode also. Nice to see brothers working together as a team. Was suprised that Shane's brother was able to keep up.

No it isn't. It's impossible for them to get all the shots they need given the size of their crew and the pace of the action. Re-shooting just make's the show more watchable. Things get jazzed up for TV, but don't make it sound like some choreographed affair.

Ya right. I am sure they hold the event and then afterwards get everybody together to re-enact it. You sound like one of those guys who cried wrestling was real even after the facts came out. I find it incredible that anybody buys that the show is not scripted.

Listen to the clip with Shane Doan and Rob Kerr talking about his experience.... There is no way its fake.

Why would Shane Doan agree to go on the show if it was fake?

Is it wrong that I'm scared to watch something called "Mantracker"?

Are you serious? I thought we went through this the first time this thread was brought up.

Might as well quote it again:
Quote:
The show did a behind the scenes episode to show how they film the show. The game is carried out, Mantracker vs Prey first. No cameras except the ones following Mantracker. The prey have their own handheld and when you see scenes with "Prey Cam" that means it is footage from the actual game.

When it concludes, the production team goes back with the prey to recreate it so the story can be told on TV. So when you see prey hiding and the camera is standing there showing Mantracker and the prey hiding in a bush 20 feet away, it's a re-enactment. Otherwise as some of you have stated it would make no sense cause Mantracker would just follow the camera crew following the prey.

Just like Jay Bouwmeester is a #1 defenseman right? It looked like a fake bear and I was wrong and I can admit it. Your wrong about hockey stuff constantly and never admit it.

Exactly. Some of us don't believe everything we are fed by the media or shows looking to keep ratings.
