The Wild Hanlon family is unlike any family you’ve seen on reality television. Proud mullet-wearing Pat owns a successful carpet cleaning business. Big brother Ben has a huge smile that hides his quick temper. He also has his doctorate in medical administration and is an Air Force veteran. Pat’s son Josh seems soft-spoken, but can hold his own against his dad and Uncle. Other teams might think the Hanlons are “hicks,” but they are a clever team with hearts of gold.
Strengths: Determination, humor.
Weaknesses: Quick tempers, hard headedness.
Fun Fact: James Hanlon was once featured in a local TV commercial.

Pat is a successful entrepreneur and business owner. In business since 1987, Pat owns a restoration company that now utilizes several branches. Pat’s teammates say that his strong opinionated spirit contributes to the team’s inability to always agree on the best course of action, but Pat cites this as part of his team’s ability to get people’s attention, which he believes will help them immensely. Pat is excited to complete this task and show that he can be as successful at “Treasure Hunters” as he is in his personal and professional life.

Comedy relief for sure. I like their good ol' boy mentality, but they're dumber than a monkey humping a football. They can't think every little thing is a clue. Not to mention they help out everyone who is lagging behind. Hope they don't think anyone else is going to help them when they need it. Hah.
