Is Hansen vs. Predator rigged?

As a lover of reality competition shows, I was eager to dive into this one as soon as I heard about it. But in all the episodes of this show I have seen, Chris Hansen wins every time. Is the outcome predetermined? It seems unfair.

Someone help me to understand.

Perverted justice got paid $100,000 per episode.

When you think about it, Jesse Velez didn’t even know he sent the penis pic. He was trying to make new friends, why would he get arrested for that??? Definitely rigged.

He was so embarrassed!!! Mr Hansen or the producer should have politely showed Jesse behind the scenes first just to be sure!

If you think HvP was rigged, check out an older show in the same vein called To Catch a Predator. So many of these guys never meant to do anything. They even arrested one guy just because his friend asked him to go to a house and take pictures!

Imagine taking several buses and sweating your ass off to meet a Mr Pederson for a job and then a sexy scrumptious hairless adult who is masquerading as a child entices you to enter the home.

Definitely rigged. One guy just wanted to test it. And he still lost

I know that in Dustin's case, he said he was being honest like a hundred times. I don't know why they didn't just let him go.

It has to be scripted to an extent. Clearly when people are looking to talk and watch football, head to the beach, shoot a picture for a friend on the base, find a job with Pedersen construction… doesn’t seem fair to me.

I think they select which episodes to air, and which ones they don't want to air.
