How do the trackers work?

- Hi friends! This week we look at how the trackers work, what they do, and how they are inserted and removed!
Every tribute in the Hunger Games is equipped with a tracker, which allows the gamemakers to track the tribute within the arena. But what exactly does this mean? Is it purely a GPS tracker?

Anyone else who is stunned by how good she rocks those lip colors O,O
Ikr!!
She should try multicolored combos of her lipstics

I think the trackers are removed because some of the victors have kids, and the trackers do something with the tributes hormones🤷♀️
That makes sense!
And Katniss got another in Catching Fire so she can’t have two
@@Mark-mp7eq all the victors did so yes you have a point
Yea, like in the book when Katniss got her hearing fixed, they probably removed it then
Do they keep the trackers in the dead tributes?
Idk about the facial hair but given that a period could leave a tribute in a lot of pain and unable to fight with a lot of loss of blood, it could be seen as unfair and thus give no hope to those parents of the girls, who could intern revolt
That's true I mean panem has a lot of problems but rasism and sexism aren't really issues so I think they'd want to give everyone a fair chance.
It’s not about being fair though. It’s to punish the districts, keep them in line and entertain. If not I don’t think they care.
I thought they didn't want the girls to have their periods in the Games so the Capitol guys wouldn't feel uncomfortable while watching.
I have to agree with Kimber and Banjo there. If anything, I think they likely block periods because, much like in modern TV programs, actors and therefore the characters they play are supposed to be presented as physically flawless or attractive at all times, and this is especially true with women and girls on TV. I'm sure the Capital would also want to present these tributes as attractive to the viewers and sponsors as much as possible. Watching someone bleed because they were stabbed in a gruesome fight is "sexy." Watching them bleed menstrual blood is not.
I don't think it evens the playing field just for girls, because growing facial hair (having to worry about shaving) or just growing in general (which boys do at an accelerated rate compared to girls) can get in the way of competing for the male tributes. The hormone blockers could stop them from getting erections as well, which is another impairing factor. Oh, and men on average burn more calories that women which is a HUGE disadvantage when there is no food. The Hunger Games isn't about fighting, its about survival which is already an equalizer because surviving depends more on skill rather than upper body strength (although girls do have higher pain tolerance). The hormone blockers are more about maintaining the appearance of youth.
Who else flinches when the tracker is inserted
(I’m early)
Every time!
@Eva especially because the needle looks so T H I C C
Yeah, I don’t mind shots, piercings and tattoos, but having a straw sized needle jammed halfway through my arm 🥴🤢🤮
xXSmollPandaXx yeah doesn’t help needles terrify me lol
Yep. Flinch every time.
I think the trackers would track the tributes nutrition, protein, and fluid status.
I’d say heartbeat too because of they’d need to know if they’re dead for the cannon
Oops didn’t see that part
@@Mark-mp7eq Don't worry, I do that all the time.
Darcy Hunter ok
It might even track their sleep patterns.
I'm pretty sure the trackers are removed once, since Katniss, Peeta, Annie, Finnick and other victors have children. I would say they are removed when the victor is in the hovercraft just after they win. A lot of times a team of doctors is keeping them alive then and it would be no big deal for the doctors to remove it then. Idk just thinking...
Same, my thought process exactly
This makes sense and I agree but in Katniss’ case, Johanna roped out her tracker during the games. But I still think they would have removed them since Annie and Finick had a kid
I think that the hormone therapy just stops working after a certain amount of time, like it just runs out? Maybe the actual tracker disolves after some time or something similar as well. Either way I think it has a timer as the game makers don’t want the games to go on for literal months.
I actually think the hormone stopper is just so the hormones wouldn't intervene with the game. They don't want a tribute to stay put from period cramps. And maybe for the boys- they don't want them to be able to have wet dreams or such. Its the hunger games- Not a strip club.
true
I feel like they definitely stop younger tributes from starting their period as well as preventing it for the older ones, plus this levels the playing field between genders and makes less fuss over distributing sanitary products x
Even if this is a disgusting idea.
Couldn’t the tributes if the trackers did nothing about hormones or periods, use there period blood to trick other tributes into thinking they are about to die and possibly leave them to die their.
@@cloewilliamson2999 possibly but then the capital would see it as rebellion or making a mockery of them and their family would most likely be killed off or something
@@chaitea6256 If I'm being honest, I'd use it as a fake out.
I- they put them in an arena to die i highly doubt they will distribute sanitary products
This is such an interesting theory, i always wondered why katniss never got her period during the games
lottie b the games only lasted for 2 weeks, so there’s a chance she wasn’t due for one during the games, and/or the malnutrition may have affected her fertility, so her period may not be on a healthy schedule. But chances are, hormones in the trackers possibly affected her period.
Late bloimer?
@@ITZ.URGIRLNIMA 16 would be very late, most girls are 12-13, I was 14 and considered late
@@skb282 I was 18 when I got my first Period
Maybe humans have evolved to the point that they don't have periods anymore, it has been hundreds of years since the time we live in.
Theory. Story Diver is from the capital. The lipstick. The hair. The accent. The extreme knowledge about the games. She came too the past through time travel to tell Suzanne Collins to write the books because she hates the games and doesn't want us to suffer the same future that she did.
Darn you got me! And I tried so hard to blend in!
Do you think the way the film theorist's strategy to win the games is a viable strategy?
That's what I've been getting info from, so if it's wrong...
WELP
@YonGG I think their strategies are pretty valid. Running away from the Cornucopia worked pretty well for both Katniss and Peeta in the first book, and many of their other ideas to increase your odds of survival are very smart and fit really well with the books’ canon.
I'm here early so I just gotta say
The👏 way 👏her 👏lipstick 👏matches👏 with👏 her 👏shirt👏 every 👏time
✨perfection✨
Great video,
Theory - what if Katniss had killed Finnick in the bloodbath of the 3rd quarter quell
That would be so interesting as a theory!
peeta would die. as would katniss, beetee and johanna.
@@Mystix_x Maybe not. It would make no difference to the blood rain ones (that is basically how I think of Johanna, Wiress and Beetee up till the time they meet Katniss, Peeta and Finnick) until they were meant to meet them.
So Katniss would probably rescue Peeta after he was stuck cuz he couldn’t swim, and they would escape.
They wouldn’t know the nuts Mags showed them were edible, but they could survive some time without food. Katniss could still shoot the rat thingy and they would have meat though later on.She would also still receive the spile so they would still have water.
Peeta might have died when he hit the force field BUT Katniss might have also noticed the chink in the armour before because she was’t preoccupied about whether or not to trust Finnick.
So when they were in the acid fog, Katniss still couldn’t lift Peeta BUT they would have a few extra seconds head start because it would be two less people for her to wake up. Plus he might not need help since his heart hadn’t stopped previously. I reckon they would still survive it.
Maybe they would die from the monkeys, but they might not be in that situation in the first place because Katniss only stayed behind to wait for Finnick, which meant Peeta was in the jungle alone. If they went to get water together, Katniss’s hunting senses would have told her something was wrong and they would’ve left.
I will try to comment what would happen next another time.
I did not know that that's how those birth control rods are removed
Imagine having your first period during the games and wondering if it’s your period or a wound
I do think the trackers are removed, because some of the Victors have kids, like Cecilia from District 8. In the book, they mention that she had 3 kids.
My dad looked over my shoulder while I was watching this and said "she ate a smurf".
Nom nom
I just read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and oh. My. God. It was a rollercoaster.
I’m gonna start it soon I’m halfway through mockingjay
don't spoiler us please! :D there are still people who haven't read it
Sadly, I haven't read any of the books TwT
@@mermaid960 You can find audiobooks if you don't wanna buy them, or you can find them online for free
soo gooodd
I think the tracker tracking their heart rate can also help with knowing which tributes to watch. If their heart rate is raised, they're likely either scared/nervous or physically exerting themselves in some way, which is more exciting to watch than, say, someone sleeping.
The trackers are very likely removed because Katniss has to get another one injected in Catching Fire.
QUESTION: if the capitol is so high tech, I don’t recall seeing anyone with mobile phones in the movies.. so do they have mobile phones in Panem?
It doesn't seem like they do. They have phones in their houses, but mobiles may give the population too much freedom
Story Diver what about in the capitol where Snow wants to at least give them the illusion of freedom??🤔🤔
I've always wondered if there was a secret reason for the trackers, some way to control the tributes by changing their vitals
This probably might sound a bit weird, but I’ve always wondered how the tributes go to the toilet while being in the games and being filmed 24/7? Just an idea
How did I not think about that?
They change the cameras to someone else I’m sure.
They just go, we see Katniss talk about it in the books
@@StoryDiver oh, that's cool. I have watched the films, and my Mum bought me the first book today! I didn't know she was going to either!
Ohh, haha, I've never gotten the chance to read the books, thanks for explaining it
"You need to have surgery to take out your tracker" Johanna: " AiNt No BoDy GoT tImE fOr DaT"
I think it’s also worth noting that if someone grows a beard in the area they might not be able to be recognised by sponsors as easily. So it’s partly a practical thing, as well as to keep the tributes looking young. Love your videos!
Thank the lord for this video. I read all of the books in 4th grade & again in 7th grade. I was also obsessed with the movies. I always wondered about this stuff
Id have never thought of them using hormone blockers, but that makes so much sense!... Thats why i love this channel so much youre so good at theories😱
If the males are on hormone inhibitors wouldn't they be less strong and therefore at a disadvantage? Especially Thresh who Katniss notes seems as if he actually gained muscles in the Games. Perhaps the females do because of their periods or lack thereof but I'm not sure about the men because of how important testosterone is to male physical and mental health. As Story Diver pointed out in the video, perhaps it is only the hormones that would make the tributes look less grown. But even if the males were given DHT (the hormone that more or less controls hair growth in grown males) inhibitor, I still think the effects of testosterone on almost all males (ie defined jawline, muscle growth and definition, etc.) would make them stand out as more grown that facial hair alone.
I agree that they probably don't block all hormones, they pinpoint certain ones. I also feel like not only does facial hair age the tributes, but capital citizens probably wouldn't want to watch a guy shaving anyway so it just makes more sense to block hormones for more air time. Same goes for girls and periods.
I know this is a bit weird but i think they must have used the hormones in the boys at least to lower their sex drive?
It could be a way to even the playing field, men are stronger than woman meaning they have an advantage so the tracker would fix that
I agree with the trackers having multiple functions. It makes the most sense to me.
In The ballad we can see that the viewers don't know we're the tributes are. When they get out of the original arena and go to the tunnels they become invisible, they can't receive any goods from mentors, and no cameras film them. I think trackers are also used for that. To have an eye on the tribute's location, to send goods and for the camera.
Please put a warning for those who have not read it yett.
Awesome video! A cool idea for a video would be how the Arenas actually work eg: weather is created, controlling the different elements, earthquakes, terraforming, construction, mapping, force fields, mutts, launch rooms, underground catacombs, life support systems for tributes (oxygen in the arena) etc.
I feel like once the hunger games is done the tracker dissolves and goes through your bloodstream until gone
I always thought that the trackers tracked their pulse in their arms and as soon as the pulse stopped they would send a cannon.
THATS QUITE A GOOD THEORY
@@zahranikpour3886 Thank you
I think there is a small microphone in the the tracker so that game makers can hear the conversations between tributes more closely
The way your face crakes me up when you said about the big niddeil
I think a part of the hormone blocking also has another big factor. It keeps the tributes looking mostly the same and also allows them to keep focusing on killing. No stopping to put in a tampon or to shave.
I got a idea for a Vid! What happens when there's not enough tributes for a district like D13 had a massive chicken pocks problem that killed all it's kids what if that happend to a another District, What would they do?
trackers: hormone blockers
me, a non-binary person with a death wish: I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE
I’ve never seen you in another comment section before! Your videos are so cool
LMAO
😭😭😭
I loveeeee your videos! You always have such smart theories! Your amazing!!! I also was wondering if you could maybe do a video on how in the book the mutts are the tributes what do they do with the mutts after the games/ how are they made?
-your like biggest fan ever!!!!!!
I've been binging your hunger games videos and I'm obsessed with the lipsticks you wear.
I like your teal lipstick...that’s my favorite color! 😄 💄
Thank you!
I figured hormone therapy was use in the tracker, thank you for making this video! Within most dystopian movies/films I am always wondering what they do in terms of growing hair (facial, underarm, etc) and periods just because that's how my brain works. It's nice at there can be in universe explanation for this even though it's not directly explained in the books or movies
This was a great theory. I have a feeling the trackers do exactly what you said. Otherwise the games wouldn't really work.
I've been watching your videos for maybe a week now.
Love them! You earned a new sub!
Thank you!
I am addicted with you’re hunger games videos😂
I think the capitol would keep it in but take away a certain hormone so the victors could have kids but keep it in ,so that the capitol could make sure the victors weren’t doing something wrong like katniss leaving 12 for hunting
This is such a great idea. I never even thought about this!
Theres just one question i want answered: hOw did Katniss know that her Arrow in catching fire which she shot at the forcefield wouldn’t rebound and hit them like peeta hitting the forcefield with his machette
She didn't, she took a risk
How about a video on what would have happened if Peeta hadn’t been reaped - and the person wasn’t someone she knew?
Gosh, that looks painful! :O Amazing theory though, as a girl I've wondered how Katniss never mentions having a period... I thought that trackers are removed after the games by some surgical procedure, Katniss said at the end of the first book that they had to - you know - make her and Peeta look good for the cameras. They also fixed her ear and Petta's leg (somthing that is never mentioned in movies), so I assumed that their trackers were removed then.
I love this channel so much ❤️
As always, another brilliant and logical theory!
P.S I love your videos and think they are AMAZING!
Story Diver could you possibly do a video on what you think Peeta and Katniss's life is like after the war?
Been subscribed for 2 months now. I love your videos. Thank u!!! I love your hair btw. 😌☺️
Thank you!
My mom literally asked me the same question when we were watching the hunger games!! I think she asked, how to the girls manage if they get got their period, and I had to go through what was in this video 😂. It weird explaining male/female hormone blockers to an adult....
Yashita Prasad 😂😂
Beautiful lip color! Very well though out video too.
Thank you so much 🙂
What happens to the trackers if someone's arm is chopped off in a fight? How would the gamemakers tell if that person is still alive?
I think that happened to chaff, cause his arm was cut /fell by the tracker
I actually love these thumbnails
I love your videos!! Am I the only one binge watching the hunger games playlist?
I have a video idea:
What if Cinna hadn't been a stylist for Katniss?
Great idea and great video.
Thanks!
You’d win the hunger games no doubt-
I would definitely not 😂
@Story Diver No you would honey! You put more thought into the hunger games than the game makers! 😂
The tracker could actually dissolve within a certain period of time, our bodies dissolve things or kill things that are inserted into it. But they don't always do that with things like the rod. I think they may dissolve on their own or when the tribute dies
So if the tracker was never removed wouldn’t the capital know that katnasis wasn’t pregnant 🤨
Oop👁👄👁
I think trackers change how the tribute eats; like how long they get hungry or thirsty.
Also, Katniss sleeps in one of the scenes when Cesar and his friend are talking and a clock says 8 hours, and the same with 14 hours.
I think it changes how they sleep, too.
Because it doesn’t make sense if it’s live, and you’re watching it over 24 hours. Maybe the time is changed in the arena, and then the tracker makes them tired?? idk i hope you understand my theory!
I have the rod you were talking about. The tracker is in the fore arm which the rod doesnt go. The rod really works near the shoulder. The rod doesnt exactly stop periods it can make them even worse as it works different on everyone. For me I get periods for a full month so there is a chance it could hurt a girl very badly
Awsome video! When’s the Q&A coming?!🙌🏼
When I get a chance to film it 😉
Story Diver 😁
I think they must remove them, because in the second movie they get trackers reinserted, and if they were still there this wouldn't be necessary.
I actually came up with a non cannon character from district 4 who had their arm with their tracker cut off and was able to win by allowing another tribute and the capital to think that they won and then killing them.
great video !!
I am such a big fan your videos are so cool
Hi Jess, do you think District 3 helps a lot with the trackers/arenas/mutts?
Also when do you think Districts 1 and 2 officially formed their "career alliance" in the Games?
Interesting thought about making the tributes look younger. When you mentioned hormone blocker, I assumed it was for the optics of filming. The pampered Capital audience don’t want to see their favorite tributes fashioning a tampon out of moss or growing uneven stubble
Remember when Johanna ripped Katniss’s tracker out of her arm so she can fight off the career tributes

I totally agree with this theory since I’m catching fire they did get another tracker inserted in them; and there would be no use if the tracker was still inside from the other hunger games.
Hello how are you today you’ve saved me from Sucide and I wanna say thank you
♥️
Hey there! Whatever you're going through, even if you aren't ok now, you will be ok one day. Nothing in life is permanent, this too shall pass. If you need to talk, reach out to me in my Twitter or Insta DMs. I was where you are, and I can assure you, you are stronger than this, and you will get through this, and you will achieve greatness 💛
I hope you are better now. If you ever need to talk or rant to someone, I’m here for you. Stay strong! You are amazing! ❤️
Evelyn Cody tysm 💕
I agree with what you said about the hormones and what some previous comments have said. When the tracker is inserted (which looks as painful as Katniss says it is in the books) you can see the little light on the tracker move up the arm so I wondered if you even could remove it if the tracker moved about in your body? Just a theory...
I don't know about periods, I suppose it's to give everyone the same physical chance, and periods is a disadvantage that isn't to do with the tributes abilities. It could also be that periods are a pretty taboo topic generally speaking, and not really thought of or mentioned much in books or film, even in works like the Hunger Games.
beautiful lip color!
Thank you!!
You should do “what if Katniss never got the mockingjay pin?”
This is really interesting I never thought about this gods vid 👍🏼
I love your lip color!!
Thank you!
Love your videos, I'm not sure if you're done this yet but could do you a video based on if peeta had been rescued by district 13 at the end of catching fire and Katniss had been captured, how that would have affected the story
I’ve always wondered what would happened if one of the tributes had their period. That would be so bad
Do you think the trackers could actually allow the game makes you insert a mood into the tribute, because in panem they have crazy technology so I think the game makers could give the tribute a certain mood to make the games more entertaining, like flirtatiousness between two tribute, bloodthirsty anger to get more action, sadness to create a heartwarming moment
A theory: What if Tresh allied with Rue? It's clear that she was important for him, so why didn't he start an alliance with her to protect her?
I’ve had a theory for ages. What if a tribute bribed the game makers to make it seem liked they died and they killed the last tribute at the finale
Video Ideas: What happened to Ceasar Flickman after panem was restored to peace?
Please do it this is my fourth time asking for this
Most videos are planned weeks or months in advance, and I don't do all ideas, as sometimes there just isn't a theory there. In this case, I'll look into it, but there's no guarantee a video will come out
Story Diver Thank you so much! I appreciate you replying! I love your vids and really hope you do mine!!!!
I think he was jailed
maybe the trackers are also explosives so when the tributes do something they shouldn’t, like break the force field, or escape the arena they just explode
Yea I’m pretty sure that’s right, cause in some games you have to get to the cornucopia/a place known to everyone, in around 3-5 mins or the tracker will EXPLODE
Early loved the video
Also if I remember correctly they had to give them a new tracker when katnis goes in the hunger games a second time so I would assume they remove them
Imagine how bad everyone must smell at the finale. I don't even want to imagine their breath
WOW! HER LIPSTICK!
Remember, a period typically comes once every 28 days and lasts 3-7 days. The Hunger Games usually last 1-2 weeks. Katniss or any of the girls not getting their period would only be of any significance if they knew they were supposed to get their period during the dates of the games.
I would like to think that the trackers can detonate if the game makers think the tribute did something VERY wrong in the arena like eat another tribute's dead body or rape another tribute, because it's probably very deep in your arm, if it explodes you'll most likely die of blood loss
ugh!! those needles give me the heebie jeebies
Could you make an analysis on the prequel please? btw love your vids!
Not until the movie is released!
I think that one purpose of the Ridiculously large needle itself is to show the tributes that they’re completely at the mercy of the capital.
So their Tracker is kind of like my Dexcom it alerts me if I have a high blood sugar or low blood sugar so either I or my doctor can make adjustments to my insulin regimen
