DW, so glad you chimed in. And I would have to agree with you. It has somewhat turned Paranormal investigation into a game show. Would love to see your group on TV though, I think you would do well.
I had a great conversation with someone the other night on our twitter feed about this. How can you judge two (or more) paranormal groups and have them compete in a single night. For one the techniques for groups vary so widely. And who is to say what one does is any more valid or invalid than what another group does. Or are we simply comparing how they do compared to some established paranormal team on TV?
Some groups rely 100% on scientific evidence. Some groups utilize sensitives to find hot spots. Some groups utilize provocation. There are so many different ways to go about an investigation, I think its really impossible to compare. Is it a good idea, sure it is! Everyone always wants to validate themselves against others, that is a primary quality of our human nature. But is it logistically feasible, not really. Does it get ratings, SURE DOES!
