YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Ready for America's Next Top Katniss?
The CW has ordered two new reality shows, including one that's clearly "Hunger Games"-inspired.
In "The Hunt," 12 tributes teams of two are dropped into the wilderness without food, water or shelter. They must compete in a game where they'll rely on their physicality, survival skills and hunting skills to endure the harsh conditions and kill "capture" one another."*
A new reality show from the CW looks strikingly similar to "The Hunger Games" in the titular book and movie. In the book, it was used as a demonstration of a savage competition used to entertain an overstimulated audience and shame the poor. What is the point of "The Hunt?" Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss the concept of this show.
