some may raise concerns about the ethics of To Catch A Predator, but one thing that I think every reality television program should have lifted from the series is having a character whose existence can only be described as "The Omen". Chris Hansen technically adds nothing to the actual operation being conducted in the house; being a host/narrator doesnt even really necessitate a physical presence during the prelude to the arrest. His 6ft tall black suited self slinks through the door like a grim reaper and the mood just falls like a curtain at the end of a play. Even if the predator doesn't know who he is, he comes to realize what has transpired when he finds that the calm hospitality found in Hansen's confrontation is not something that can be appealed to or "reasoned" with. It's not even really for him. Hansen is eulogizing the calamity that has already come to pass for the audience, the predator was rendered a specter from the moment he was captured on film. What if there was a guy like this on 90 Day Fiancée.
