Aftermath:

The Hellions rolled out the red carpet for Dean and the crew from the Paul O'Grady Show (Olga TV). The team chased him around the fields of Wastelands and Bedlam, but were asked not to paint him up too much. For a while it seemed like they were going to come off looking like poor shots during the staged movement segments. Fortunately for them--and unfortunately for Dean--those were just the filler spots. Eventually, the time came to open up on him with markers a'blazing. In the end, it was all in good fun. The Hellions had a great time and got to send the Brits back home with several new bruises.

The video as it will air on the Paul O'Grady Show may be seen in the Press secion. A selection of photos from the event is available for viewing in the Gallery.

Story Line:

The Paul O'Grady Show, which airs daily on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, picks seemingly normal people and sends them on fabulous trips around the world. They then report back on camera about their experiences, and the whole adventure gets played out as part of the live studio show. These video segments cover all sorts of sports, travel, extreme adventures, etc.

A 3-man video production team have made plans to stop at CPX Sports in Joliet, Illinois. A football (i.e. soccer for those in the States) punter named Dean has been selected to be the player and the Hellions have been asked to show him the ropes on the field.

The plan is to have Dean experience the various aspects of the sport of paintball. CPX Sports has promised to outfit him with the best speedball gear. The Hellions have the easy job of chasing Dean around the field and try to look good in the process.
