Somebody wrote bad words on the image!
[edit]Please delete--Brian Earl Haines (talk) 04:59, 31 August 2011 (UTC) words such as "Fake Ass Show" on the page! Peterxj108 (talk) 14:23, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
I think it should be left in because the show is not reality it is actors playing a role.
representation
[edit]The show take the money and run is incredably biased in favor of the law enforcement team. Most the civilian contestence have never had to deal with the lies and minuplation that law enforcement uses. The Investigating team has the interrogating team to assist them in their search, plus 48 hours. Where is the support for the civilian contestence? In the real world they could request an attorney and all questions would cease.SO....Where is my ATTORNEY? Or at least some type counciling to help them through that "Horrible" 48 hours of confinement, Oh boo hoo I could do that standing on my head. I know some individuals who would be more than happy to "Represent" the civilians.(----) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tattoodanny307 (talk • contribs) 01:05, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello! I missed the one where the contestant quit, thanks to my "DISH Network" DVR deleting that episode before I could view it. But anyway, I know what you mean! The Interrogaters wanted to treat it like the Civilian Contestants were actual criminals, while the Civilian Contestants wanted to behave as if it were the game show that it is/was, but were told to behave as if they had actually committed a crime! As in "Tell us where you put it or else?!" I expected the former Marine to simply give them his name, rank, and serial number, instead of confessing! The poor daughter, to have such a wimpy father in the end! Also, what about the Fifth Amendment? I never saw anyone choose the option to be silent. So it makes me wonder what the actual rules of the game are/were. That, and I wondered what would've happened had someone else outside of the game took the money, until I realized that a camera crew or some other team would be there to guard it. I kept expecting them to actually find a dead body, rather than just lonely apparell items. But apparently no real crimes were committed to otherwise distract the cops/ex-cops. (That's a news story or movie plot I'm expecting to see someday. Real criminals interupt an awards show or game show.)
But all of that aside, what about the premise itself? Sure, as a civilian you'd want to win shold you play the game too. However, logically, if we are to maintain our faith in the power of law enforcement and the skills of it's employees, the cops/ex-cops should always win! But this series demonstrated that they don't always do so. So what are we to make of that? Granted, usually the time limitation is longer than a mere 48 hours.

There's Something About Mary!
[edit]As in, is her surname a hyphenated one or not? Within the series it self, I've seen them use both a version with a hyphen and one without! So which is correct?! LeoStarDragon1 (talk) 09:21, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Ryan O'neal in episode#5?
[edit]When I saw episode 5, I swear that the father was an actor. I finally think I figured it out. Ryan O'neal. It has been months since I have seen this episode, so I will amend this or delete this if I confirm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.76.47.120 (talk) 03:26, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
