Awful performance by the chasers there. 34 seconds to spare

Too bad to be true

Side note - I've only seen Darragh Ennis play once or twice but he's very strong and consistent. Zero personality but impressive knowledge.

My father is a Chase addict. Im staying with him since early December and we watch 3+ episodes a day.

We still havn't seen the new Chaser.

I find it funny you say he has zero personality. They slag Sean Wallace for being dull and boring, when actually he can be very entertaining.

I think they normally air the new episodes of 'The Chase' on VirginMedia the day after ITV/UTV airs them.. this was certainly the case for Darragh's first episode but can't be sure.

He's got a helluva hit rate anytime I've seen him.. easily answering 8-10 on the bounce in the final Chase.

It's part of The Dark Destroyer's persona.. to always look unamused and unimpressed. But he'd be the first one to break into song etc.

The Series 13 episodes debuted on V1 the day after at 2pm. Series 14 episodes are not shown locally over here yet, can only see them on manually-tuned-in ITV.

Did ye notice the new set with screens between the contestants?

Yeah I noticed on a few of the gameshows it's all Covid socially distanced

The screens between contestants didn’t bother me as much as Brad’s distance from the person taking on the Chaser.. you’re so used to him being next to them advising them, making jokes etc

Mark's fury with Shaun was hilarious last night, even though he was right.

They play it up for affect.

The conversation between Chasers remains cringey..

She had a nightmare there.

She got 4/5 wrong in the middle there but got away with it.

Ha 50k!!!!! good for her but is it just me or are the questions on this way easier than the regular version?

The questions for non quizzers seem easier?

I thought so, too.
The chasers comments as each contestant are pathetic. Fawning over a supposed great quizzer and making fun of a young bubbly girl who managed to beat them!

I did laugh at Paul saying "She looks happy and bubbly... Not a quizzer..."

I has a real whiff of being made to be good tv about it this time out compared to last time.

Daft time to show them. No wonder we've missed them. It would never occur to me to look at the TV planner at 2pm for a brand new episode of something.

Ironically, the primetime schedule of Virgin Media tends to be full of repeats!

Paul Sinha has quickly, and rightly, become the flagship Chaser..

.. used to be Mark, but look at promotional material, and even position on this, and Sinha is front and center.

That was mental.

Very generous, surprised she didn't go high.

Brilliant. Eegits forgot that the question was theirs!

Paul has grown on me over the years and is now my favourite. I like his humour.

There was a gang of shítes back in school who always hung around on the same bench every day and would make a snide remark about everyone that walked past, the Chasers remind me of them every time a new contestant walks out :pac:

This article says Anne is the best statistically with Paul just behind.

I feel on beat the chasers, Anne is a bit slow on the buzzer, while Paul seems very fast.

Just want to say the chase has become my best friend while working from home :pac:

I know exactly what you mean! I retired December 31st. During first lockdown, i became a fan of Countdown, Tenable, Tipping Point, The Chase......

You're nearly better off deliberately getting the second question wrong given the offers they gave someone who got 4 right.

This fella looks like Frank McNamara.

Say Your Number

The amount of times it comes down to one second.

Also if look a bit of a gomme they give you decent time which is the critical part.
If they look for over 40 seconds for what ever money you have got against two chasers you're on a loser.

I think Mark is the most dangerous so to speak. When he wants to beat you he ignites the after burners and goes after you. He also pressure presses more than the others. It's a matter of pride for him far more so than the others to win.

Bit of flack over last nights show to be honest I thought the guy had won the 10k

Yeah, I spotted that myself.

Might have been editing more than anything.

He really annoyed them.

Would have been close had he gone high.

HeidiHeidi

He really annoyed me! What a bizarre attitude. Wasn't paying full attention, but I didn't think he won by a whole pile?

I always felt if I was on a gameshow, at least make it worth your time and go for a decent amount

The high offer was 48 seconds, he won by 11.

Told ya I wasn't paying full attention!! Thought it was a lot closer.

Still think he hadn't a prayer, he was burning through questions at an awful rate.

How's our Dub going to do???

You think they might be playing up to the cameras with the interactions with contestants, but it seems Mark actually hates Mohammed.

The Beast seems to be very irritable and insulting of late. I don't think he is just putting it on any more.
