Het Jachtseizoen: Most Wanted(2024–)

Nothing is safe

Day 1: On board the plane, the announcement rings out over the loudspeaker: “Take it easy, guys.” The response is that all eighteen fugitives are actually on board, so calm is required. However, the tone changes quickly: “You bunch of thugs, prepare for the landing. Hurry up, hurry up, keep moving!” The instructions are clear: there is only one mission, and that is to stay out of the hands of the pursuers. Nothing is safe, not even the safehouse, and the curfew is not strictly enforced either. One hour's respite is granted before the chase begins. After that hour, Stuk TV sees nothing but numbers on the map. The question arises: who will be apprehended first? Remarkably, there is already a couple designated as ‘most wanted’ just a few hours after the start. Shortly thereafter, the report follows: “Crook apprehended.” Immediately, another person is designated as ‘most wanted’, also close to Stuk TV. The game has begun, and the tension is rising.

Lost control

At the station in Tilburg, things are going to get very tense for a fugitive for a little while longer, and it remains to be seen whether he will make it out of Stuk's clutches or not. And all this on day one. One hour left before the curfew, and as Stuk TV said earlier, nothing is sacred, so the fugitive must remain vigilant for the public even then, because they are allowed to simply keep reporting where they are seen. And the viewers have to say who is offline for one hour, and whoever finishes at the bottom is then live for one hour; omg, this is the end for the fugitive. And Stuk TV immediately plays their first trump card: the curfew is extended by four hours, so not 6:00 PM, but 10:00 PM. And again the report "Thief arrested," and all that on day one, oh my goodness. And again someone who is most wanted, and that for a snob, amazing. The poll is closed; they will get the results tomorrow. But will they all make it to tomorrow?

Everyone changes direction

We are looking for a fugitive, is he here? I don't think so, but I'm going to take a quick look around, is that allowed? Then another notification comes in: “Crook arrested,” and all this on day one. The fugitives realize how far they are from Stuk TV. What will day two bring? Good morning, we’re starting in fifteen seconds… and off we go! But who gets to go offline for an hour and who has to go live? Result of the poll: offline. And who goes live? That is… good luck! The most wanted turn out to be sitting in Rotterdam, unsuspecting, and are making extensive use of public transport. Is that really smart? Someone humiliates Stuk TV at their office, but is playing with fire because Stuk is very close by and the chance of getting caught is high. It ends very well. There are two offline buttons in play, in Amersfoort and The Hague, and everyone gets this notification, including Stuk. And there is the notification again: “Crooks arrested.”

Offline and fully in the sights

Who can find the offline buttons and thereby disappear from the grid for an hour? But at which location will Stuk be? The offline button has been pressed, and for the first time, there is a lightning rod as an advantage, while the other location is forfeited. The lightning rod now takes effect: whoever is closest to Stuk goes live for an hour. One team is startled by this and is now most wanted. The rest feel safe and decide to go eat. It is almost 6:00 PM, so who will make the curfew? Then the message follows: “criminals apprehended.” Seven teams remain, who must look for a place to sleep, while some have evening commitments. Stuk is allowed to extend the curfew one more time and does so by an hour. Afterward, Stuk receives the locations of the fugitives, most of whom are in the Gooi region. One rat chases a fugitive and reports this to Stuk.

Not a moment's rest

Once again, a fugitive was spotted by Stuk, followed by the notification "Crook arrested," just 15 minutes before the curfew. This concerned the third arrest on day 2. One fugitive even appeared on RTL Late Night. On day 3, one of the two fugitives who were close to Stuk was declared "most wanted." The FC Groningen stadium also features prominently this season, where the quartet was spotted. This did not go unnoticed and was shared massively on social media, which meant Stuk also became aware of it. The journey then continued all the way to Groningen. At Lelystad Airport, they narrowly managed to evade Stuk's grasp, which led to great frustration. One of the duos unexpectedly became "most wanted" after spending too much time in a vehicle; they went live for two hours, but due to the great distance, the pursuit was pointless. The safehouse offers security—there are two this year—but anyone arriving too late faces a major problem.
