It’s episode nine of Hunted Australia 2023 and it’s time for another pair of Fugitives to be benched from the run.
At this point, there’s only Eesha and Bayan, Ed and Jimi, Holly and Josh, Jordan and Tharren still out in the wild, and out of the Hunters’ grasp… for now. However, four teams of Fugitives will become three teams by, well, a few minutes into episode eight.
Here are the highlights!
Bayan and Eesha try a predictable hiding spot after being sprung by the Hunters
At the end of episode eight, we see Bayan, quite literally, lock eyes with one of the Hunters. Unfortunately for him, the Hunter recognises him and a high-speed foot chase ensues. Bayan darts back inside the unit they’re staying with and tells his partner Eesha, who is less than impressed.
The Hunters surround the house and Bayan eventually lets them in and surrenders himself. However, not before Eesha disappears into a hiding spot. The Hunters storm the house and eventually find her in what could be called the least creative hiding spot: under the bed.
Ed and Jimi successfully navigate the dreaded ATM withdrawal
Ed and Jimi have so far managed to keep the Hunters off their tails and make somewhat of a mockery of the team to the cameraman. So, the Hunters can’t be too happy when the men manage to get one up on them by hitting an ATM at BP in Glen Waverly and withdrawing $200. They believe that this money will see them through until the extraction in a few days.
The Hunters are alerted to their location through the withdrawal, but once they arrive at the petrol station Ed and Jimi and well and truly gone.
Josh and Holly split up
Josh and Holly have only just scraped through in the past few episodes, and have had a few situations where the Hunters have been hot on their toes. Now, they’ve sent all Ground Hunter units to approach the couple’s close contacts one by one could this be their last hurrah? Apparently not.
After using a stranger’s phone, Josh and Holly discover that the Hunters have already visited their close contact Ally. With the Hunters hot on their trails, the Fugitives decide to split up and Josh left with Ally, hoping to draw them away from his girlfriend Holly.
Six Fugitives remain on the run as Hunted continues Sunday night at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play.
