@Ben Dover one of the male decoys was asked by the predator "who lives here with you?" And the decoy answers "just me my mommy and my daddy". The decoy looked like a 30 year old which made the predator feel suspish. 😂 as another comment mentioned i think its called the Eew predator. Sorry i dont remember the actual name 😅
@Rumple999it's from an episode. The decoy said it the most awkward way possible and it's hilarious. So now it's a meme. Not that you could say that without it becoming a joke.
Okay hear me out. You gotta arrive at my workplace in a cheetah costume at 2:50pm, run in and declare yourself a man-cheetah loudly, then run out crying out "I'm soooorryy I'm sooooooooorryy" after I bellow out: "Be gone cheetah creature be gone with yooouu!!" 200 before the job, 4800 after. I just want you to really confuse and bewilder my coworkers for my entertainment. Yes I would pay people for this.
I wonder if they docked the pay of that grown ass "me, my mommy, and my daddy" decoy. How that eww predator didn't bolt the other direction is a real call-out to his final braincell.
Explains why there were more frequent decoys as opposed to long standing ones i.e Kayla Marie-Armstrong I mean Casey Mauro. That payout, especially back then was huge for a young person.
"So tell me, what did you come here tonight?" "I just came to pick up my check." "That's not what you said online?" "That was all talk. I swear, I just came here for my check."
I wish I could be a decoy, sounds like such a cool acting gig cause you’re actually helping law enforcement instead of just advertising a cell phone plan😂
My sister used to work with the police and try to buy alcohol and see if she was carded. If not, they'd fine the location (at best). She looked no older than 15 well into her twenties. It helps that she's short and very thin. She could have definitely pulled off being a decoy but I doubt she would have felt safe enough. My daughter and I also look young but we both hit within an inch of our adult height by the time we were 14 so it would have been harder to pull off. My family ages very slowly.
I mean they had a legit risk of a creeper coming in with a weapon so I don't even think that money was enough. I watched the one where the guy slammed the window shut tight right away and it sent shivers down my back
They made a lot of money at the time, but almost all of those seemingly high paying acting gigs usually make you give up your rights to royalties. So they made a lot of money in the short term but probably lost out in the long term.
The fact that a 5 year sentence is one of the harsher punishments that came from this show is just kinda sad. I guess they’re reputations are forever ruined, so that’s something, but still.
Actually sounds pretty low of a wage for people risking their lives and putting themselves through trauma voluntarily to protect kids but then again it’s often that truly wholesome, good jobs that only get relatively good to sometimes terrible pay. Meanwhile the Kardashians remain millionaires. Sigh
They had Police, security, and an earpiece, that relayed information immediately to keep them safe, that helped keep things under control. I'm sure they were coached on how to escape quickly. I wish they'd had that when I worked retail and guys would get into my personal space and then threaten me if I said no or stalk me. I was being paid $9/hour and my life was more at risk than theirs. That's not to say they weren't at risk, they obviously were, just that they had an entire system set up to keep them safe. They deserved the money they made.
@@elleembee6335Chris in a Behind The Scenes snippet said that the Predator who was a Marine or something like that scared him because he was aggressively trying to get the Decoy to leave the bait house and go in his car even though she was showing signs of NOT wanting to leave the bait house and go in his car. Chris was worried that the guy would end up hurting the Decoy, so he came out WHILE the Decoy was still in the room. 💡 A LOT of times, the Predator will ask to go to the bathroom and while he's in the bathroom, the Decoy leaves and Chris enters. 💡
@@karicewillis exactly, they have it set up so that the decoy stays safe at all times. I'm glad they have that set up that way. Children deserve to be protected and I'm glad they caught people who would consider children prey.
loved watching the series but the boy decoys were so embarrassing to watch you could see the predators faces drop to the floor upon entering the house lol
Around that period in time that much alot more in value than now 5,000 probably would be 10,000-15,000 equivalent due to the prices of everything and the economy
I was an extra on the show Yellowstone for seasons 2 and 3. They paid me a couple hundred bucks per day. The very first night I got to do it, I counted how many extras were on set and they paid out over $30,000 just for that 1 day alone
A Former Decoy said something like," The Predator took out his penis and began masturbating. She was disgusted and all she could think of was the fact that the Predator REALLY did think she was a 14 year old girl and not a 20 year old Adult and would have masturbated in front of an actual minor and she thought about the possibility of him doing that in front of her innocent 10 year old Sister. She also pointed out that she knew that there was a possibility that the Predators could go after her personally for helping to set up their capture, but she was helping to save Children and Teens from these Predators. 💡
What the fuck yo? The guys in question had sexual text relations with what they thought were minors.. minors brains haven't fully developed, and they don't have the capacity to meaningfully consent to those kinds of things. That's why they develop trauma later in life. Are you misinformed or a pedophile sympathizer?
