"The Hunger Games" meets "Big Brother" on "Opposite Worlds," a new competitive reality series premiering Tuesday, Jan. 21, on Syfy. Luke Tipple, who served a similar function in last summer's CW game show "Capture," hosts the 12-episode series, which airs each Tuesday and Wednesday, the latter episodes live.
"Opposite Worlds" revolves around 14 players who are divided randomly into two teams, each living in an extreme environment that replicates a given time frame.
"One is in a futuristic type environment, while the other is living in much more of a Stone Age environment, but they're separated only by one glass wall, so they can see each other, see how the other half lives," explains Brant Pinvidic, one of the show's executive producers to Zap2it. "Each week they'll be competing for where they will fit in the game, battling to live on whichever side they want to be. It's a really interesting...

Host Luke Tipple isn't exaggerating when he says that no one is safe during "Capture," and all the competing teams will learn that in Tuesday's (Sept. 3) new episode.
Silence is the prey teams' biggest advantage during hunts, but that silence will be harder to sustain this week as everyone's alarm will sound for the duration of the hunt. Until, that is, the first prey team makes it to the mystery box. The box will shut off the alarms as well as give that team a game-changing advantage.
And when we say game-changing advantage, we definitely mean game-changing. Your jaw will drop when the secret power is revealed, and it is something the hunt team will not enjoy. Remember, the power shifts consistently in this game.

"Capture" is about to get even more brutal.
The CW's survival competition show has already seen some contestants break down mentally due to exhaustion and lack of food, but will an injury knock one team out of the running on Tuesday's (August 20) all-new episode?
"There are injuries during the show," host Luke Tipple reveals to Zap2it. "You will see people that are dealing with some injuries they've picked up along the way. Running through the forest at a breakneck speed in panic of being captured is not the greatest way to be traversing the forest. It's tough terrain even for the crew, and cameramen on site were susceptible to injury. It's not a forgiving environment."
In addition to injuries, Tipple says that the game is only going to get harder from here on out. "The game constantly changes across the arc of 10 episodes," Tipple says. "The rules and sabotages...

Things got heated during an elimination round on The CW's "Hunger Games"-esque reality show, "Capture," when gray team contestant Jarick Walker enraged the red team for what they thought were homophobic remarks.
When Walker and his partner were hunted down and captured by an openly gay team (the red team), he told host Luke Tipple, "No offense to the red team, but I didn't think they were gonna be the team that caught us."
The red team then fired back, "I think the Division 1 football player is upset he got put up for elimination by two homos."
Walker never meant his comment in a homophobic way and wants to clear the air. "I didn't see where that came from at all," Walker told TMZ. "I'm a competitor and I didn't see anyone catching us. That team was a big team so I didn't see them as a threat. Being big,...

This edition of my Notebook is open wide to a pair of returning shows, one show on hiatus until next summer and one show that is bringing The Hunger Games into your living room.
Indeed, scroll down now for some scoop on Breaking Bad, Falling Skies and more...
Breaking Bad Yep, the final eight episodes start airing this Sunday – I’ve seen Sunday’s episode and it does Not disappoint – but in talking to star Betsy Brandt about her new gig on The Michael J Fox Show, I couldn’t help but ask her if she would miss her AMC character, Marie. As her eyes welled up with tears, she told me:
“I miss her…I don’t want to be sappy Suzie. I shouldn’t call it a once in a lifetime experience because most actors are never going to be on TV on a show like that and I’m so grateful,...

Luke Tipple serves as Game Master on Capture
(photo source)
In the new CW competition reality series, Capture, 12 teams of two people are dropped into a remote, mountainous area for one month and must compete with scarce rations and primitive conditions to be the last team standing and take home a cash prize of $250,000. Each week, different teams are deemed ‘The Hunters’ while the remaining teams are the prey and the hunt – a somewhat softer version of The Hunger Games - is on.
The host of Capture is hunky Aussie survivalist/marine biologist Luke Tipple and with three gay men vying for the end prize, there’s bound to be not only intense competition but also the breaking of certain gay stereotypes.
Just before the second episode of the new series airs tonight, we grabbed some time with Tipple and out contestant James Wallington to talk about the show and...

Poorly!
I’m sorry to report that as of now (the one-hour premiere aired Tuesday and will air again tonight), the CW’s new reality series Capture is less Hunger Games and more Really Big Game of Hide and Go Seek. There are 12 couples (each week, a different team will conduct The Hunt while the others will be The Prey) competing for $250,000 and the chance to say “I didn’t die on television!” The problem is that the other people will also get to say that. I know it’s not The Hunger Games exactly, but after the fancy race...

"The Hunger Games" came to television -- or at least the closest approximation that would be legally allowed, with the CW premiere of its newest reality entry, "Capture." The series features 12 teams of two who are all in competition with one another. Each week, one pair becomes the hunter and must work to capture the other teams.
They have two days to hunt and must capture a team each day to avoid elimination. As soon as a team is captured, or when time runs out, the hunt is over for the day. The two teams captured are then up for elimination. If only one team is captured, the hunters are the second team up for elimination. If no teams are captured, the hunters are automatically eliminated that week.
At the end of the competition, one team will stand triumphant and win $250,000 for playing the world's most extreme form of tag.

The Hunger Games has been a pop culture obsession since the first book was released in 2008, and The CW is about to make the titular game as real as we'll (hopefully) ever see with the premiere of Capture, a high-tech game of tag that is one of the year's most engaging new reality shows.
Capture is an intense wilderness competition where 12 teams of two will enter "The Arena," a fenced-in enclosure in the middle of the wild, where they must live for one month and compete against each other for scarce resources and a $250,000 grand prize! I sat down with host Luke Tipple, who cut his teeth hosting shows for the Discovery Channel, Nat Geo and Animal Planet, to talk about becoming Capture's Game Master!

When you put twelve teams of two teens in an outdoor arena for a month in a fight for survival, any feelings of friendship or loyalty are the first to go.
At the mercy of the Game Master, Luke Tipple, the teams compete against each other for scarce resources and a $250,000 grand prize on The CW's newest reality competition show, "Capture." Each week, one team is chosen at random to be the hunter and must find and capture two teams or face elimination themselves. Of the captured teams, the "safe" contestants vote on who goes home, leading to constant betrayals and back stabbing.
But even Tipple was shocked at how quickly the teams began stabbing each other in the back. Zap2it got the chance to sit down with Tipple before the series' premiere to discuss the teams' strategies, shocking alliances (or lack thereof), and how he had to put...

In the latest iteration of the action-adventure-reality genre, the CW has a late entry with the new series Capture, a man-versus-man-versus-wild competition set in an Inspector Gadget-like forest compound.
“You will hunt and be hunted. You will remain here for as long as you survive the game.” These are the foreboding words of Captured host Luke Tipple (also an Australian marine biologist, according to his website ).
The new CW competition series — premiering Tuesday — pits 12 teams of two against each other in an enclosed wilderness compound, where they fight each other, hunger pangs, unfortunate space-agey pantsuits, and bad weather in order to avoid being captured.
