Now look i know this is all for a bit of fun and not a serious competition but it feels fairly obvious to me that one of the hunters was watching Alex's stream. It's always the same person circling around and spotting the runners. And to confirm this i checked the live viewer list on Twitch during this event and found that hunters name. A bit of silly "cheating" is fun but having someone straight up stream sniping the entire time really sucks and i hope next time the hunters will be firmly reminded that it's not ok or alternatively you could exclude that hunter from the event.
sometimes i think 'HEY! why is failrace the only one that does survive the hunt" and then I see how the hunters do... and those would be very short videos... so its probably best this way.
If they are being judged by time, then for each pri destroyed a player could get some time added. This would reward those taking risks for pri's rather than hiding out. Also, re subL the hunters should have some counter for any vehicle a hunted uses. cheers
I love these live STH! It is so much fun to see the crew get a chance and to come at the challenge with different ideas, plans and perspectives. And honestly the good-natured cheating type plays that add a bit of something new to the dynamic but are ultimately solvable for the hunters are great fun because they mix up the expectations. Crane and Amy with the helicopter was a great example - once the hunters caught on they had plenty of options to deal with it and get even. I agree with Crane though that the mega fast hunter car was a bit much, because it immediately made creating distance in the chase all but impossible. Same logic for the runners, inventive and interesting is fun to watch, just something untouchably fast is less so.
Whenever a cat meows I don't know if it's my cat, the game or any of Alex's. However so far mine is curled it with me asleep as I watch so no need to check. He sometimes watches with me or just tries to disrupt for attention by blocking the screen, stepping on the keyboard/mouse, or biting me.
More cat trivia. We couldn't put presents under the tree this year as since making him an indoor cat he rips up anything with paper. So we had to hide the presents up high until time to open. He got really messed up as an indoor/outdoor so we don't let him out anymore. Large Maine Coon. Rough housing with him = stitches.
Alex & Crew - please consider devising a silly recurring hunt-themed video featuring the portaloos. Not just a wacky race. One of the funniest things I've seen all year - there's SO much potential for an STH mission with sidewalk sneaking.
Okay, I'm watching this at 4:25 Christmas morning and having to work so hard not to wake up the whole road due to the toilet humour it actually hurts 🚽🤣😥
My pc bricked itself at about 10.30pm on the live stream, no idea, but windows kicked me out, and was making new temp accounts when I tried to log back in, so ended up reinstalling.... Happy Christmas to everyone.
1:38:06 Leathercap with one of the most entertaining, unique strategies ever! 2:42:07 Jo with another one of the most hilariously bugged strategies ever! 🤣🤣🤣
1st Stevie with 28 minutes with 4 Priis 2nd Amy with 25 minutes and 2 Priis 3rd Jo with 18 minutes and 3 Priis 4th Rusky with 17 minutes and 2 Priis 5th Crane with 16 minutes and 7 Priis 6th Longbow with 15:39 minutes and 2 Priis 7th Ewan with 15:00 minutes and 1 Prii 8th Brazen with 13 minutes and 2 Priis 9th Absol with 11 minutes and 2 Priis
The creative methods of cheating some runners came up with made for a far more entertaining stream. After all, this has never been a very serious event, just a lot of fun. Well done and Merry Christmas!
14k in 5. Averaging 1k per hour. Not that anyone needs me to announce it but I like this channel enough to celebrate when things go well for it. An awesome "community" if you will. I know good people when I see it. And love cars and racing.
1:18:39 I've noticed in standard GTA Online, if I make the brake lights work at intersections, the AI doesn't do weird things behind me. If I let off, they try to pass, light them up again, and AI will stop again.
Things we learned today (spoilers): Amy has great taste in vehicles. The dutch will not stay any longer than deemed necessary! "When your teacher/ the government lets you cheat, it's okay!" 👍 Friends are for helping, not hurting! No hails were given to the kings of the castle, although I think you found a new game to play!
I think the rules regarding when the hunters can actively shoot at a runner, needs looking at, because Russkiy wasn't disabled, the vehicle was stull moving and operating well, but got shot, and both Alex and Russkiy were still in the vehicle. If the rule is they can shoot once the vehicle is stopped then it's been frequently broken, because Russkiy was reversing then got hit from the side, then was shot. In previous videos the vehicle needed to be stopped, upside down, the hunter out the vehicle or the vehicle needed to be disabled in some manner, just feel it needs working on as some wait for the hunter or vehicle to be disabled and others just shoot once they've hit the vehicle.
I am fairly sure the only rule is the hunter has to be out of the vehicle to shoot. There have been a few instances of Alex getting shot while still driving. I could be wrong but I don't believe there is a rule about the survivor's car being stopped.
Happy Christmas from Lenoir City Tennessee. I second the I like to watch after it was live. I've been saying that when I retire I am returning to the U.K. to stay. I retire on Feb. 16th. Happy days! I plan to get an/ a Apt. , 2bd, 2 bath in Edinburgh and an equal size perhaps around Bicester, England. When I was in England, many years ago, The motorways speed limits were 100MPH. Now they are 60? Man that is slower than here in the U.S. Oops. My mistake. A Happy Christmas to all of the Failrace team, and a Happy Boxing day as well.
i have an idea, not sure if this exists or if it can be done. Next fund raiser... CHALLENGES FROM THE AUDIENCE FOR A FEE. Example, someone puts up $ if within 2 minutes you shoot down the blimp or during the chase you manage to kill a hunter and use their car for at least 3 minutes and so on.. but has to be done within a limited time frame :)
I would've loved to see an escort or Alex use an RC car in a StH!!!! Here's what I learned in StH today..... Stevie manages to hit every stationary object while being a submarine.....don't you hate it when docks appear out of nowhere?! The Dutch are still behind in time. Crane is blind. Shados enjoys throwing shade in chat. Around 1:44:30... Every time Alex busts out of the porta-pisser with a gun, it's like he's telling the hunters "Wait your damn turn"! Brazen driving weird vehicles back & forth in front of Alex every reset reminds me of kids trying to get the attention of cameramen going "hey, film me, I'm acting stupid" lol Weird family-of-4 road trip around Los Santos. Around 3:02:33 Alex gets tased & does not even react, as if its just a normal day in the office.... The Cramy (Crane + Amy) plan was awesome lol.... Crane's blindness to objects makes sense now, seeing how he wrecks into many things that do not move lol Alex is a friendly-fire goblin 😆 Alex being inside Ewan's demon-yellow headlights vehicle gave me flashbacks to many previous & tense StH moments lol I now understand why there are so many damn death messages within the initial 2 minutes of every StH..... 🤣
Watching them try to meet up with Absol and Brazen was like watching an historical reenactment of life before cell phones.
Alex opened the door of a submarine while submerged.... classic!
reminds me of an episode of whose line where colin said in a sub "it's stuffy in here" and opens a window
Not going to spoil it for those on replay. But we weren't disappointed with the 'you couldn't make crazy stuff like that up if you tried' moments.
thx

Up this comment!
That's just shitty. Name the hunter and shame him.
Meh... More often than not, STH is recorded and there's no stream to watch.
Really? Who?
I like to watch it after live :) merry Christmas FR all the best!! Hands down my favourite gamer
fellow control freak lol, same bro, happy new year and many more
😂 Magic moment. "Keep it moving, you don't get killed." And gets popped as he finished this sentence! 😂
sometimes i think 'HEY! why is failrace the only one that does survive the hunt" and then I see how the hunters do... and those would be very short videos... so its probably best this way.

"if you never stop, you're never killed"
Jowo, final words, 2024
I enjoy how the snow stays on your car when you are UNDERWATER...
Merry Christmas Failrace, I hope you guys all realise the joy you bring us all. May 2025 bring more fun! ❤❤
53:23 Only Brazen can pull that off and get away with it 😂😂

Jowo's run was... pure gold!
I think leathercap's plan was the perfect Baldrick "I have a cunning plan"
Merry Christmas! Thanks for posting this! I was only able to watch the last run because the lack of time I had today.
Alex & Crew - please consider devising a silly recurring hunt-themed video featuring the portaloos. Not just a wacky race. One of the funniest things I've seen all year - there's SO much potential for an STH mission with sidewalk sneaking.
I was thinking the same. Not very race-related but something like CoD Prop Hunt was sparking for me while they were running around in the portaloos.
The hunters impressed me figuring out the submarine like that in round 1.
If @matgee8892 is correct, one of the hunters was stream sniping...
So glad you all do these holiday STH shows.
Okay, I'm watching this at 4:25 Christmas morning and having to work so hard not to wake up the whole road due to the toilet humour it actually hurts 🚽🤣😥

Merry Christmas Alex and the FailRace Filming Crew.
Been awhile since I watched a live survive the hunt, still funny as hell, with cheating involved makes it even funnier when usually
1:38:06 Leathercap with one of the most entertaining, unique strategies ever!
2:42:07 Jo with another one of the most hilariously bugged strategies ever!
🤣🤣🤣
3:42:10 "we may have to get on foot at some point"
yes, Alex, you may xD
1st Stevie with 28 minutes with 4 Priis
2nd Amy with 25 minutes and 2 Priis
3rd Jo with 18 minutes and 3 Priis
4th Rusky with 17 minutes and 2 Priis
5th Crane with 16 minutes and 7 Priis
6th Longbow with 15:39 minutes and 2 Priis
7th Ewan with 15:00 minutes and 1 Prii
8th Brazen with 13 minutes and 2 Priis
9th Absol with 11 minutes and 2 Priis
when driving a port-o-john, probably best to just drive on the sidewalk the whole time lol
Dang it I missed it. Anyway, a very merry christmas eve to you all.
Brazen's run was fun as always! 😃
@ioeee7563 I am not even up to that yet and having fun watching.
Up to it. Fun indeed.
The creative methods of cheating some runners came up with made for a far more entertaining stream. After all, this has never been a very serious event, just a lot of fun. Well done and Merry Christmas!
merry Christmas to all the crew
Them toilets i was laughing so much. It was brilliant😂😂
Just got here missed the live. Interested to see it with the new rule. Alex no longer a sitting duck when the driver fails.
Good runs, very entertaining. Merry Christmas
Almost 13k views in 4 hours. Merry Merry!
14k in 5. Averaging 1k per hour. Not that anyone needs me to announce it but I like this channel enough to celebrate when things go well for it. An awesome "community" if you will. I know good people when I see it. And love cars and racing.
Happy holidays filming crew!
To the crew. You should do another one where Alex joins the hunters.
Merry Christmas!
I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
1:18:39 I've noticed in standard GTA Online, if I make the brake lights work at intersections, the AI doesn't do weird things behind me. If I let off, they try to pass, light them up again, and AI will stop again.
Amy should add dpEmotes to the server, a resource with hundreds of animations including props to blend in
Things we learned today (spoilers):
Amy has great taste in vehicles.
The dutch will not stay any longer than deemed necessary!
"When your teacher/ the government lets you cheat, it's okay!" 👍
Friends are for helping, not hurting!
No hails were given to the kings of the castle, although I think you found a new game to play!
I'm still hopeful for an all motorcycle spawn set for survive the hunt. 😁😁😁
someone needs to design a blimp that looks like a pri.
the muisical chairs around the car at pier was the best.
You ever started from the maze bank gold reserve parking area for a more urgent car change ...
2:58:52 help 😂😂😂I can’t breathe from laughing
Amy should be like the 5m Lester allowing you to do something slightly cheaty with a 15 minute cooldown haha
Amy has perhaps the most enjoyable STH I’ve seen in a long time.
Happy birthday and merry Christmas Brazen!
Boy, he must be old by now.
No traction on the slippery roof.... 34:15
What caused the players to not be able to drive the cars?
So many good moments in this one!

The hunters just have to be on foot. There is no rule about the car being stopped. You must have imagined that.
Absol absolutely demonstrated Alex’s inept abilities.
Had to sleep before the stream 🥺
Will watch later today or tmr ❤
Amy's go was brilliant to enjoy!
Does anyone know how long before Rockstar takes away this snow effect:)
@03:26:30 it's the FailRace GTA V Mismanagement committee.
Bro was in a submarine, no one can see him, no one is able to shoot.
IMPRESSIVE! under those rules id still be surviving in 2026
Would love to see a portaloo only STH
When traffic breaks, you gotta blend in with street furniture
That's crazy when the hunters go right by you and have no idea
By 2:55:47 I'm crying from laughing so hard at the chaos going on
Gotta be a first - Alex kills almost all the hunters while using the can (or the loo). That's the stuff legends are made of!
3:52:40 Ewan going for a convertible Voltic. Bold choice.
Happy Christmas from Lenoir City Tennessee. I second the I like to watch after it was live. I've been saying that when I retire I am returning to the U.K. to stay. I retire on Feb. 16th. Happy days!

The monster mini is awesome. Dear R*, I need it in regular GTAO please.
1:40:35 - His and Her Port-a-loos 🚽🚽
i have an idea, not sure if this exists or if it can be done. Next fund raiser... CHALLENGES FROM THE AUDIENCE FOR A FEE. Example, someone puts up $ if within 2 minutes you shoot down the blimp or during the chase you manage to kill a hunter and use their car for at least 3 minutes and so on.. but has to be done within a limited time frame :)
Driving the Port O Loo's was a pisser.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
1:55:40 someone in chat said Survive the Dump xD
I love STH live
Idea: use blowing up the Flivver as the starting gun :O
Merry Christmas!
STH idea: get two hunters to be traitors, but each one thinks they're the only one and see how they interact.
How do I donate?
Is Amy’s run the closest a STH has been to HTS?
Brazen doesn't weep, when you hurt him.
I think Crane became new favorite FRFC after Alex.
What are the Lego streams?
Is it possible for Amy to create a trigger change that when Alex gets in a new car, ALL vehicles change. That would be interesting.
Around 33:00 ... The chase is on.
So close....
It's hard to come up with a plan mid chase panic. Good job regardless lasting that long even as sneaky as it was.
"A mighty punt"...
With 500 coming up, do we have a new title sequence?
Thunder Box racing would make for a good video
With destroy the Priis. I like already.
The sub has left tailights out lol.
3:04:42 I thought that crane would of used his 1930s car
The portaloo ballet. xD
Need to mod in a monstrous Pri-shaped blimpus.
This should’ve been done on normal gta not fivem imo but still incredibly fun!
"is it left or right? Left. Right?"
amy will make sth history driving toilets, which will be one of the funniest ever sths
Shados in the chat…they’re bullet proof 😂😂😂😂
3:26:23 Brazen has gone to space!
I like the idea of this stream, but I think it's time to go back to council GTA-V until this gets fixed.
This should be called Cheat The Hunt
Merry Christmas to my British Brothers and English Roses. Please save your county.
You shot Absol!!?!
I would've loved to see an escort or Alex use an RC car in a StH!!!!
Here's what I learned in StH today.....
Stevie manages to hit every stationary object while being a submarine.....don't you hate it when docks appear out of nowhere?!
The Dutch are still behind in time.
Crane is blind.
Shados enjoys throwing shade in chat.
Around 1:44:30... Every time Alex busts out of the porta-pisser with a gun, it's like he's telling the hunters "Wait your damn turn"!
Brazen driving weird vehicles back & forth in front of Alex every reset reminds me of kids trying to get the attention of cameramen going "hey, film me, I'm acting stupid" lol
Weird family-of-4 road trip around Los Santos.
Around 3:02:33 Alex gets tased & does not even react, as if its just a normal day in the office....
The Cramy (Crane + Amy) plan was awesome lol.... Crane's blindness to objects makes sense now, seeing how he wrecks into many things that do not move lol
Alex is a friendly-fire goblin 😆
Alex being inside Ewan's demon-yellow headlights vehicle gave me flashbacks to many previous & tense StH moments lol
I now understand why there are so many damn death messages within the initial 2 minutes of every StH..... 🤣
