NO ONE'S WATCHING CAPTURE!!!

Did anyone ever think that Hunger Games   would inspire the finest reality show to hit us with raw guts, nerves, stamina, energy, stealth, mind-games and simply bowl us over every week with some new twist in recent times. I have no words, adverbs, adjectives or synonyms for this Awesomeness called CAPTURE!!!The rules of the game are pretty simple.There is a 4,000-acre wilderness area called the Arena, in which 12 teams participate in hunts to eliminate other teams for a $250,000 grand prize.From this simple premises we get a crazy intense show. 

The Hunt is On

If you are an Indian, you will be able to identify the format with our very old Chor-Police (Thief-Cop) game, where one Hunt team tries to catch the other Prey teams in this huge wilderness over varied terrain in four hours over two days each and the result is cliffhanger reality show at its best.Some hunts literally going down to final seconds with just a minute to spare with one team bearing down on the other. The Hunt team has talons, which they have to attach on the vest of the Prey team to capture them, so breathe easy guys no one gets killed!!!

The Pink Team trying to evade capture - Spot the Survivor! She was Season 1 Survivor Finalist

There are some other rules too, but I would request everyone to watch it. Its a fairly simple game but the show producers have put in incredible thought on how to make every episode interesting and twisted. Just when you think the show would probably drag the next week, they introduce something new in every episode to keep the concept fresh and exciting week after week. I love watching Reality shows. To me, The Amazing Race, Survivor and the UK Apprentice are the best reality shows on tube. Capture joins that list with flying colours.

Incredible Moments of Emotion!

Full marks even to the people for choosing the teams identified by their colours. Each one of them is just perfect and belongs to a particular group. The divide seems all the more strong for every viewer, when they watch as they can identify with each one of them a little closely, feeling as if they are playing the game. The Amazing race used to make us feel the same way, but Capture is way more gutsy and intense. Be it the sneaky Lime Bro-sis Sibling team or the stealthy tiny Teal twins or the atheletic green afro-american college roommates or the hunky handsome red Gays or the black Prom Queen Blonde and Brunnete together or the Gold Good Brothers  or the Grey Mixed martial artist couples. Its just a perfect cast!!!Wish they had a geek  Cochran team so that I could cheer them on. And its amazing how all these teams use survival startegies unique to their mindset and physical disposition to adapt to this game.  How the teal twins, inspite of being tiny and somewhat weak compared to the other teams battle the elements with stealth and their knowledge of the terrain along with their keen sense of smell and sight; how the grey team uses their mixed martial artist experience to measure 3 minutes, which was the time they used for sparring rounds to stay off the radar off the hunt team along with hilarious moments also...when the Black team for their irressisitible desire to have some alcohol prove to be their undoing or even a puny Lime team sabotaging a very strong team and showing them the proverbial finger at the elimination phase for their bullying with the final vote.... the results are just reality show at it's very best.

Elimination Ceremony

Once I had finished watching Capture the full season, I really felt if we have reality shows with such drama, fun and excitement, who needs movies? This is way more compelling than anything else. Give Capture a shot!!!! You won't be disappointed. This is probably the best new Reality Show, which probably no one's watched yet!

BEST EPISODE - Season 1 Episode 6
