The Chase

deandean

We have a new Chaser. And he's Irish
He was once a contestant on the show and now ITV quiz The Chase has recruited Irish scientist Darragh Ennis as their new chaser.
A former student at NUI Maynooth, Darragh is now a post-doctoral researcher at Oxford University and joins long-established chasers The Beast and The Governess in the popular gameshow, which sees a team of four contestants vying for big money in a battle of wits. He will make his debut later this year.

Not really.

I kinda enjoyed the different Chase there.

Unsure about the offers that they’re giving but it’ll eventually fall into people taking what they earned in their cash builder and trying to win that.

Funny so far (which is important)

HeidiHeidi

Ah ffs :rolleyes:

Basq

Don't think too much of this..

HeidiHeidi

It's all a bit slow. Esp if Brad explains all the rules in full every single time......

Basq

Sinha may get a chance to show his comedic chops..

HeidiHeidi

Gawd I hope this one doesn't do it, she's an awful pain....

callaway92

One small complaint is it feels a little bit dragged out per person.

However the normal chase has 4 guests so I’d assume this is similar.

Editing could probably allow for a lot more contestants.

Collie D

The guests are a bit annoying. Definitely chosen for their “personalities” - could picture a couple of them on reality TV.

BettePorter

i think its good but too much faffin about and wasted time with the offers... and then theyve just wasted 5 minutes gwtting the lifestory of a person for them to get knocked out on the first frickin question. Needs severe editing to maintain interest i think.

And more cash potentially given out.. so I get the impression that's why it's dragged out.

Collie D

A former winner and Mastermind semi finalist. This could get interesting.

HeidiHeidi

A normal contestant, finally.

Pistachio19

Hope she does it now.

It’s ITV so I should have expected that but quiz shows and cliffhangers is not a TV device I’m a fan of.

Just as they got a good one too.

My dreams often end at the good bit with the claxon from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

I expected it to be better.

I thought all the one liners between the contestants and Bradley were very rehearsed.

Still enjoyed it as a one off weekly alternative. Can't beat the original.

It's on every night this week. Presume it'll be an occasional thing, like Millionaire?

Sally was good, would have won if she went lower.

callaway92

Damn that was close.

Collie D

Great effort from the cliffhanger contestant. One or two great answers under pressure.

First (and possibly last!) "normal" contestant.

Really thought she might do it, she was brilliant.

callaway92

Really doesn’t matter what you get in your cash builder really

All offers between the games are fairly relative, in particular the large ones.

Say Your Number

I love the dirty looks when one of the Chasers get one wrong

HeidiHeidi

Rabbit in headlights, that fella.

Fair dues to him!

Collie D

Pressure really got to him I think.

The Beast’s reaction when Paul got the Jim Carrey Batman question wrong :):)

Collie D

Thought he had that. Think he had 13 seconds on the clock to their 3. Good contestant, just caught out by a couple of toughies at the end.

callaway92

Show seems to be flowing better tonight. Less ad breaks I think though so far.

Thought he had it too! Shame

That was a bastard of a question.

Ad breaks every 15 mins same as least night. They're just squeezing more contestants into each quarter!

Only easy if you know them... I didn't even need the options.

Knew it straight away - they stand out something serious when going through duty-free.

Collie D

That’s an ass whooping. Well done, young man

Charlie19

Nice win for the young man, I hope he invests wisely:)

Basq

He walked that.. could've gotten more.

Labbatt messed up big time.

Collie D

Generous offers here. Go for the top.

EDIT: Good woman, best of luck

HeidiHeidi

Not a hope.

Hope she does though! she's lovely

HeidiHeidi

I stand corrected!!!!

Well done to her!!

Collie D

Brilliant. Think they beat themselves there but she won’t care.

I feel the producers of this show didnt consider the chasers might loose 1 in 2 games.

Yeah it's definitely a better format for the contestant to win money, even 10k would be more than what you would generally win in the original way when you have to share 20k or so.

Basq

What's that? 85K gone in 2 shows? ITV will be sticking to the 5 nights!

BettePorter

my good god shes annoyimg

Same issue again here with the woman that got 1k in her cash builder

Basq

These are poor offers!

Say Your Number

Everytime Brad says his name I think he's saying 'madam'

castletownman

I tell you what.

She is some MILF for 51
