So the German version of Release the Hounds<\/strong><\/a> aired this evening on ProSieben, just shy of two hours long and with five contestants instead of three, and hosted by German The Voice host\u00a0Thore Sch\u00f6lermann. It was filmed in the same location as the original.<\/p>\n

Main differences (I won’t go into too much detail in case any future contestants do some research) – the team were split into a pair and three and sent on their separate ways, there was a bit with a car and another bit which was a treasure hunt in a graveyard which was fun, although as ever as the scenarios (which were otherwise basically the same as the UK one) can’t be lost it was rather tensionless. The way the team rejoined each other after splitting was thoughtfully handled.<\/p>\n

Outrunning the dogs has become a bit easier – whereas before (correct me if I’m wrong) you had to cover 80m, 100m and 120m (60, 90, 120?) with the dogs starting at the 150m mark, now it’s a straight 90m dash with the dogs starting 70m behind and gaining ten metres after every scenario. This seems to feel much more doable, with someone winning big money with a 40m headstart (although the final round at thirty metres was a loss). There were five cases worth \u20ac70k total (about \u20ac20k from the first three cases, the same figures as our ones, then ~\u20ac20k and ~\u20ac30k for the last two). The losers just get up and talk to Thore straightaway and they all celebrate at the end which is honest if rather safe.<\/p>\n

Overall whilst I thought it developed the ideas from the UK pilot fairly well but it’s still not hitting me in a way I really want it to. But if there’s anything we’ve learnt this evening, it’s that people shouting swearwords at surprise entities is universal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
