If Alex doesn't win, we will riot.
We know that you're supposed to watch Hunted rooting for all the fugitives, but viewers of tonight's (February 1) episode are rooting for Alex like no-one else.
Alex, who's taking part on the show with his dad Bob, spoke candidly about his life with Asperger syndrome, admitting that he often struggles to be independent and has found it difficult to make friends after being bullied when he was younger.
Viewers were heartbroken to hear Alex's story, but more than that, they found his attitude and determination to succeed inspirational.
Hunted fans were full of praise for Alex, with one paying tribute to his "bravery and courage".
"Bravery and courage is not about never being afraid, it's about being anxious, confused and balls out terrified but still lacing your boots up, throwing on your bergan and going anyway," they wrote.
"I think Alex's participation in this series is not just brave, but also inspirational too!" another viewer added.
But more than anything else, those at home were in agreement that if anyone was going to win Hunted, it should be Alex. (And his dad too, of course.)
At the end of the episode, Alex and his dad Bob had still managed to move relatively undetected by Hunted HQ, so it looks like Alex is one step closer to living his dream and winning the series.
And let's face it, it's totally our dream, too.
Hunted continues on Channel 4 next Thursday (February 8) at 9pm.
