Using a dating app to find someone special is nothing new, but CBS's new reality show, Hunted, takes matchmaking to a whole new level.

The show follows several two-person teams as they attempt to get off the grid and stay on the run for 28 days, as a team of highly trained law enforcement experts use every trick in the book to try and track the "fugitives" down.

In this week's episode, dreamy millennial duo Miles and Will are attempting to hide out somewhere between South Carolina and Georgia, so the Hunters devise a scheme to send their photos out on a number of dating apps with the offer of a reward, hoping that some enterprising young lady will give up their location for a sweet cash prize.
