Taking The Reigns
CW
ETonline can also exclusively reveal that Luke Tipple, an Australian marine biologist, will take time out from swimming with sharks to host Capture.
Tipple has hosted television shows for the Discovery Channel, Nat Geo, Animal Planet, while his travels have taken him around the globe. As a marine biologist and adventure guide, he's come face to face with some of the world’s most dangerous predators, and survived -- he's even one of the pioneers of out of cage experiences with Great White Sharks!
Clearly his expertise will be essential to the team's survival in these harsh conditions. Will they heed his advice? Only time will tell!

The Hunt Is On
CW
Further complicating matters, every week new teams are designated The Hunters. Their goal is to capture the other teams because when The Hunters ensnare two teams, the rest of the competitors get to vote on who stays and who goes. Each team will take turns being The Hunters until only one team is left standing!
Tech Chic
CW
Capture is jam-packed with super cool gadgetry, like the Talon (pictured above). This is The Hunters weapon of choice as every player is wearing a vest and The Talon is how a player is "deactivated" from the game.
Another crucial tool in The Hunters' arsenal is a GPS system that tracks every player's movements -- but a team's location is only displayed to The Hunters if they've been standing still for more than three minutes. And with the playing field continually decreasing in size as the game wears on, hiding places become scarcer and scarcer.
Although it's impossible to hide at The Supply Station, which offers players replenishment but not salvation as patrons chance exposing their location since The Hunters have it constantly staked out knowing everyone will have to eat ... eventually.
