Hunted Australia Recap Episode 8: We’re reintroduced to Fugitives who’ve been off the grid

Plus, one of the Hunters goes through a Fugitive's bra drawer

It’s episode eight of Hunted Australia 2023 and there are apparently some Fugitives that are doing such a great job at hiding that they’ve barely managed to get any screen time this season.

With just a hand full of days left until extraction, we’re reintroduced to father-son team Tharren and Jordan, who’ve had next-to-no air time this entire season. Could their evasive skills see them beat the Hunters?

Hunted. Ten.

Here are the highlights!

Bayan and Eesha think they’ve cracked the code

Bayan and Eesha are back in the hot seat after some close calls in episode seven and their latest blunder may just see them captured by the Hunters. At this point, they’re still unaware that the Hunters have infiltrated their burner phone and are hot on their trails.

So, when they meet a stranger who invites them back to their apartment, they think they’ve had a stroke of luck. However, when Bayan and Eesha step outside to get some fresh air and switch on the public wifi, the Hunters are pinged to their location and set off to catch the duo. We’re left with a serious cliffhanger when the Ground Hunters make eye contact with Bayan, and the chase of a lifetime begins.

Tharren and Jordan tease the Hunters

Unlike some of the other teams, Tharren and Jordan have laid low all season and haven’t taken it upon themselves to target the Hunters and, consequently, put a target on their own backs. Until now.

After managing to stay off the grid for the past few weeks, the father-son duo send a ‘care package’ of sorts to the Hunters, which consists of decoy postcards from town that they have driven past while on the run. The Hunters are delighted that they’ve received the package and believe they can use forensic measures to track it.

The Hunters break into Holly and Josh’s apartment

Holly and Josh find themselves in hot water after Ground Hunter team Charlie and Delta execute a “covert operation” and break into the Fugitive’s apartment. Inside, they find “Shapes in the freezer” along with some more helpful intel, like a diary in Holly’s bra drawer which has a list of hotels the Fugitives are staying out as well as their travel itinerary.

With five days left, eight Fugitives remain on the run as Hunted continues Tuesday night at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play.
