My gf brought up an interesting take a while ago. While I was watching a certain catch, she overheard a particularly horrific part and asked me "how does watching these catches not affect you?" I simply responded "because we're different people."

Looking back, it was an incomplete response. Some catches do disrupt my spirit more than others. Mac and cheese pred was the most recent one. I can only imagine how the decoys, camera guys, and Alex himself feel during certain confrontations. You'd have to be made of stone not to feel downright sick to your stomach with some of these guys.

Indeed, watching a child predator get exposed, humiliated, and arrested is rewarding. It's always fun when Alex is able to add his unique style of humor to a catch. ("Every Rose Has It's Thorn" comes to mind, as does his passive references to "the Letcher method" ) But knowing what these demons have done/planned to do to real children is horrifying.

Hope everyone from supporters to the PP crew themselves are enjoying the break. God knows we could all use a break after the mac & cheese monster. Looking forward to the next trip!
