Seems to be pretty much the strategy of one of the pairs this series to be honest, or at least it was until one realised the other one was a total bell. Did enjoy him saying “good luck finding a black man here guys” when he was hiding out in Dalston mind.

Yeah, from what I can gather they have to keep moving (so no holing up in one location for a month) and seemingly have to make contact with family or friends at least once (because they all do it when it’s an easy way to get caught).

i have thought about this -
do you have much advance notice to plan stuff?
i’m thinking lots of double bluffing - like getting on trains to places and instantly doubling back, posting my phone to one of my mates with instructions to text another mate about hiding me at theirs for a while, looking up loads of nonsense online before places i’m going to go which they can then have a little lookie through, when all my real research will be done on a laptop of something which i will have destroyed before the hunting.

first dye and then shave off all my hair halfway through or something, don’t talk to anyone, probably do some camping out in the woods, just keep my head down and try to set up a load of red herrings really

only seen the show once so some of this might be terrible ideas!

I think there must be restrictions on stuff like that and also you have to have googled and emailed stuff about it beforehand so that they can find stuff on your computer. So much of it seems staged so that the TV show works, which is understandable, but annoying.

Most of them do all these things. Then for some inexplicable reason they then phone up their partner and leave a message along the lines of “I’m holed up in the Holiday Inn in Colchester for the next couple of days. I’ll be wearing my Tinky Winky costume when I go out for lunch at 12:14 this afternoon. Happy Birthday.”

Yeah, mainland UK I think.

This seems like a bit of a piece of piss. If I knew I was in with a chance of being on it, I’d probably be walking round with £3k cash on me. If I got the call telling me to hide, I’d ring my wife and say “Right this Hunted thing’s come off, gotta dash!” chin my phone off and then rack off paying cash for everything for a month. Stay in a B&B somewhere.

Not hard is it.

I really like the househusband who sent a decoy to go get rugby tackled for him

I keep on hoping someone goes absolutely feral on it, leads their cameraman into the woods, loses him and the last footage is of the contestant leaping down from a tree naked and wearing deer antlers, bashing the cameraman’s head in with a rock, screaming “YOU’VE BEEN FEEDING THEM INTEL YOU CUNT!”

Yeah that was brilliant. So totally unnecessary.

It’d be like that Japanese solider who didn’t believe the war had finished for years after. Researchers playing messages into the forest saying the series got cancelled years ago but he thinks it’s at trap.

They all make sure to contact their kid on their birthday as well, putting the whole thing in danger. I’m sure their kid will get over the disappointment* if you come home a couple of weeks later with a hundred grand.

*worth noting that I’m not a parent and as such am incapable of imagining the emotions involved.

I would quite like to see the psychiatrist woman giving her psych evaluation of Balonz after meticulously researching this site.

Or they never find you and the last shot of the show is you cleaning up and collecting their coffee cups, and them shooing you away, and you turn to the camera and wink. Worth more than money that
