Hunted season 2 contestants Cath and Kel talk tactics

Long-time friends Cath and Kel plan to sneak onto a friend's yacht and kill the time sipping champagne.

Season two of the adrenaline-fuelled reality show Hunted hits Australian screens on July 17 when 10 fugitive pairs are released on the streets of Melbourne to play a three week game of hide-and-seek.

"Between the two of us, we probably don't have the same technological knowledge as one young person," Cath told ACM.

"So we're going hide in plain sight using disguises and costumes."

Contestants are pursued by the hunters who use their backgrounds in police, defence and British Intelligence to track the fugitives.

And winners, who successfully evade the hunters and reach the extraction point, get a share of the $100,000 prize money.

Cath and Kel said women their age "can be invisible to society" and they plan to use this to their advantage.

The professional entertainers know they can't outrun the other contestants but they can blend into the crowd and use their age, smarts and bubbling charm to disarm strangers.

And they have a lot of wigs to choose between.

"You'd be amazed how far you can get by wearing a lanyard," Kel said.

"People just assume you work there, which is sometimes shocking because I've got one that says P&O cruises."

The first episode of Hunted season two airs at 7.30pm July 17 on Channel Ten.
