Yeah, the prey are often stupid, but they're paired up this season as already knowing each other. I have to admit, I was starting to get pissed at Chris in last night's for coming across as kind of useless and holding Brock back. Though, you couldn't help but want Brock to make it to the finish line (even if he DID have to cover 7km by himself in like...2 hours). Seeing him go from being all cocky (flipping off Mantracker as they're staring at each other through binoculars, and taunting Mantracker after he bailed off the side of the trail and down a hill) to panicking like hell, to realizing that there's no way in HELL he's going to get away, yet not surrendering (and having that annoyed but defeated "you son of a bitch" look on his face when he WAS captured 2km from the finish) gave a lot of sympathy to him I thought.

Just because the prey know each other doesn't mean that won't still be the case though. In fact, even though the two from the first episode this season were friends, Chris still held back Brock because he happened to drop the cigs he smoked behind him at first, AND because he wasn't really in shape. And even then, Brock made it 5 kilometres after his teammate got caught.

That's kinda funny but creepy at the same time. I wonder if he's a loud or a quiet drunk.

For those that watch this (like me):

Mantracker S2, Episode 3: Dustin and Ian, Prey Analysis

Two fierce athletes who thrive on competition challenge Mantracker to a battle of strength, focus and determination in the wild remote wilderness of Grande Cache. Dustin and Ian, childhood friends and Ultimate Frisbee teammates refuse to let fear and dehydration curb their quest for glory but a hungry Mantracker won’t be deterred by their savvy diversions or upstanding fitness. Will the hunter’s skills triumph over the prey’s unrelenting competitive nature or will Dustin and Ian be diminished by a devastating defeat?


Dustin Demille
Age: 27
Hometown: Oakville, Ontario
Occupation: Technical Services Manager

Bio Fact: Dustin is an all round athlete possessed with a relentless thirst for victory. When he’s not knocking heads on the Frisbee field he kicks back in his Volkswagen Westfalia named “Roadie”.

opinion: Does playing Ultimate Frisbee count as "outdoor experience"? If so, then he'll probably have a good amount of it. It's pretty obvious that he'll be ranked high in "athletic ability", so he's probably going to be a pretty fast runner. Let's just hope he's not dumb enough to start yelling out "dude! Where are you?!" if he loses Ian, like the last two people did.


Ian Lawson
Age: 27
Hometown: North Bay, Ontario
Occupation: Teacher

Bio Fact: Ian is a competition junkie. He plays competitive Ultimate Frisbee and says there’s nothing better than the rush that comes with winning.

opinion: They may him sound a bit more reckless than Dustin is, and he'll probably be about even with him in terms of athletic ability and outdoor experience. I get the feeling that even though he should be smarter than Dustin, he'll be a little bit of a showoff.

Caught/Not: Unsure. While I'd like to be able to say that these guys avoid capture and get away, I can't really because I'm not sure just HOW fit Ultimate Frisbee makes someone. Also, what I'd imagine to be a lack of outdoor experience will probably hinder them. Still, I'm expecting a bit of a positive surprise from them in the way of those things so they could probably avoid capture, I just can't say it with confidence at the moment.

Wow, uh....didn't expect that.


Anyway, episode 4 was really good to. Was funny how the one couldn't really hear Mantracker about 10 feet behind him. But man...those two were damn near maxed out on the athletic ability and outdoor experience meters.
