    The gimmick only really works from season to season if you occasionally allow one of these freaks to win.

    Finding Bigfoot is on season 12.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finding_Bigfoot

      Wikipedia only has it through nine seasons. And they’ve been regularly called out for “Oh we think we found something!” excited grainy nothingness that gets hyped into an alleged encounter.

      The incredulity of the producers is what makes the show work. The Bigfoot hunters are never seriously challenged or meaningfully debunked, and a great deal of the show involves them insisting they’ve parsed mistakes out from “real” Bigfoot evidence.
