Current Events > That game show Release the Hounds gets dark in season 2 (spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

They put one guy in an electric chair and his teammate had to move a ring over a twisting and bending bar and every time she touched it, the guy got shocked.

And there was one challenge where the player at the end had to go into a creepy ass dentist office and these guys walked in and zip-tied his arms to the chair and this old ass guy started looking in his mouth and putting tools in his mouth.

ugh.

Or like this guy just got chased by a truck then thrown into a garbage dumpster and the dumpster tossed into a water reservoir xfd

It's on Netflix if you're interested. First season and first couple episodes of the second season are kinda cheap jokes really, but it gets more serious as it continues.

Also frustrating to see how dumb some of these people are >_>.

Apparently a lot of companies globally have bought rights to produce their own version of it, so we're gonna see international versions soon too!

lmao this guy hurt his ankle and couldn't do the run. That sucks.

It is such a great show. Latest series had an ex-Olympian trio and one of them just utterly trounced the dogs.

Always like the kidnapping bits, you can see them a mile off but they're always grand. That and the obligatory first dog scare are the best regular bits.

Plus the dogs just seem to have so much fun and it's great that you can see the handlers cheering them on.

I've never noticed the handlers cheering the dogs on, I gotta watch for that in the future haha.

I'm always kind of curious if they actually just calm the people down and show them what they're doing between camera shots after they put the bag on their heads and drag them away, but the fact that it's so ambiguous helps maintain the tension.

There are times where they waste so much time and it's so frustrating.

w o w, this one it's a ... band? And they taped this guy naked to a stripper pole at a wrecked strip club and the guy had to bob for eyeballs out of a dirty urinal.
---

He has to answer questions newlywed-game style that his fiancee gave answers to, and it shows her answering questions and flirting with another guy on camera, so screwed up.
---

Man I just did the math. It is literally impossible for them to outrun the dogs with anything less than a 60 metre head start.
At 30 metres (The lowest head start) they would need to run 25mph, almost as fast as Usain Bolt.
---

Has anyone even started at less than 50? But yeah it did seem like anyone under 60 was screwed.

Finished the first three seasons they had on Netflix, hope that more comes soon. The last season had some more interesting moments, like the first time a person actually made it to the ladder AND had the dogs jump on them.

No it's some British dude who is way too nice for the show for the first season and a half and then he kind of takes on a little more evil/cynical attitude imo.

Weird how we can treat game show contestants worse than murderers and rapists.
