Why would anyone sign up for this? The problem is too big, too far reaching for a few individuals. Volunteers, at that. Not trained under-cover agents.
They put a few people in seedy locations, for 60 days, to gather as much information as they could from low level addicts and dealers, hoping to find the missing Mexican Cartel link.
What??
Does anyone remember Enrique "Kiki" Camarena? The DEA agent tortured to death over 36 hours, may he rest in peace. What exactly do the volunteers think is going to happen when A&E leaves? Unless they're in witness protection programs, which they most certainly are not....um, good luck.
This ratings grab, to me, is just crazy.
This was unnecessarily dangerous for no yeild whatsoever. While I admire the volunteers' eagerness and enthusiasm, I would not want to be in their shoes.
I hope the "Where are they now" update show isn't an actual question as we try to guess where their bodies are.
Stupid idea, A&E.
