Aibu to audition for hunted when I have a 3 year old and 8 month old?

[cultkid]

Do you think it's unfair on the children to leave them

What can it hurt to audition? You might get on, you might not. Can't hurt to try. But it's 3 1/2 weeks with minimal contact, could you all handle that? Yourself and your family.

I totally would - the money would be fab if you won!! It’s only a few weeks :)

Go for it, we could all be your contacts for hiding away! Imagine how long it would take them to uncover all of us.

I love the idea of a Mumsnet army for a hunted contestant!

If you can handle it, do it! MN will hide you - there needs to be a six degrees of separation thing and code threads to really hide you, though!

Would MNHQ help?

I think the fact your asking means you’ll be one of the hunted who has to check in with their family at some point and gets caught.

What is Hunted?

Do it! I have two kids almost the same age as yours, and a few weeks of being hunted actually sounds like a fabulous fucking holiday tbh

I love this programme.
My job (to a certain degree) uses some of the surveillance techniques you see on the programme and it always is a huge topic of debate in our office.

Go for it. Buy the kids presents with the prize money. All will be forgiven.

Yes - go for it!

My niece auditioned and was offered a place but the friend she was going to go with dropped out and she didn't want to go alone so she didn't do it. They had lots of crazy ideas about high risk things they were going to do (turning up at friends' weddings etc) which I think might have been one of the reasons they were picked

Go for it! Dm me if you get picked and need a Northern contact.

I am obsessed with getting on Hunted one day, driven (I am certain!) by being a SAHM to a 5yo and toddler.

My sister thinks I wouldn't last a day but I have convinced myself that I would be amazing at it.

Following. What is hunted??

Am I the only person who can’t stand this program? I want to like it, I really do but it’s so far fetched it’s unreal.

Someone I know is on the current series and they win!

Go for it. It’s only 2 weeks isn’t it?

Me and the DCs Love It. I know that they fake a lot of it for TV but that last 20 minutes of them getting to the extraction point is proper edge of your seat stuff.

Why the hell not. I've just got Into this programme and I'm already planning my strategy for when I get on it.

Have a go OP! I love the idea of an MN army hiding you all round the country, I’m up for that!

just go for it.

I spend a disproportionate amount of time planning my Hunted strategy and imagining I'm taking part. As I walked down a footpath in the dark earlier this evening I found myself assessing whether travelling on foot at night and sleeping in the day might be an effective approach

Yes yes please do it. It would be like the mason's episode only better.

At that age I think it would be really hard, especially with the baby. You could miss first steps etc. I think I’d be awesome at hunted but I couldn’t do it with small children. I’d be one of the ones that bottle it.

My dh wanted us to do this , not sure my ds would be too happy looking after an 8 year old and I have to admit, I’d miss them

Do it, OP. Get filmed crying hysterically about missing the children and sniffing significantly how you can’t bear to miss Ickle So and So’s school play/match/ whatever, and then head determinedly off in the opposite direction to home and live on grass for a fortnight.

We’ll all root for you. In fact, a Mn ring of helpers might work really well. We’re not in your phone contacts, you don’t know us, but you could log on from a stranger’s phone for 30 seconds to get the next safe house.

It’s a really dumb programme, though. We’re clearly supposed to overlook the fact that the contestants have a cameraman jogging alongside while they try to look anonymous in central Manchester.

Go for it but for crying out loud don’t phone your family, visit your friends or draw cash out of a cash machine 🙈
