What a disaster, 4 out of 6 questions wrong in the final round. Why on earth would he have guessed "Final Will" in the last question? I think 99 out of 100 would have guessed the Notebook.

Sometimes they put an obvious one in there to trick you, not sure how many counters that was for though, if it was two I would have definitely thought notebook.

The machine is set up such that the first few counters seldom pay out which means the contestants who don't answer the first questions go later and cash in on a stacked shelf - often that is enough for them to win the whole game in the first round. The game would be much improved if they reset the score at each round - they could still take the total into the final round. |

However by answering the first couple of questions, you can play tactically and pass to another player, hoping they will waste a counter. If you don't answer, there is a chance that it will be passed to you, with the same consequence.
I don't see how resetting the score on each round would improve anything. Apart from anything it would reduce the final winnings. |

You should have seen the girl on the Chase on Tuesday. She was studying French and Italian and couldn't say more than bonjour and ciao. Her general knowledge was shocking. She didn't get one question right:

No it wouldn't reduce the final winnings as the total would be restored for the final round. (Actually reducing the winnings wouldn't be a bad thing in my book but it isn't neccesary for this rule change). Quote:

Yes you can do that but it doesn't always work. The problem with the first round is that it is designed to be largely random as to who wins it but at the same time the winner is already determined by the time the 2nd round happens just from one lucky drop.

"St Patrick banished snakes from which European country?"
"Spain." This show defies belief sometimes. |

What a poor bunch today. Tracy keeps passing everything she can and non of them seem capable of answering the questions.
What's Roy doing there? |

Not as bad as the duffer who won yesterday who guessed a four parter was a trilogy.
He then failed to guess that sodium carbonate contains, err, carbon. They inhabit a world of their own. Old Roy on today's game did well to get his name right. |

No I idea why she went into drop zone two with the one counter or she didnt have a think about how many edges are on a cube. Oh well it was her money and she gambled it away.

How to throw £3,100 away in one easy lesson. I don't think she had a chance unless she got all three bonus counters in the right place to get the Jackpot counter over the edge as there was no counters in the exact right place to do it with less, then she wasted one in drop zone 2. Perhaps £3,100 didn't mean much to her.

Agree with you all. What a bunch of idiots
![]() Tracey should not have got the question photogenic right (I think that is what she said) As Photo + Graphy does not make that answer ![]() None of them knew when to drop the counter so it didn't ride. I need to stop watching this for the sake of my blood pressure
