She really shouldn't have got the orchestra question wrong. If she'd taken a moment to think about it she'd surely have got it right, rather than just guessing.
Just picture an orchestra in your head, it's all the violins and cellos at the front. There's a lot. A full orchestra can have over thirty in the strings section. The percussion? Somebody on the drums, couple on the timpani, cymbals,maybe a xylophone and glockenspiel. Probably half a dozen people at the most. There's just no way it could be even close to the number in the string section.

Lol You really overthink this game don't you ??????? They don't have time to visualize a full orchestra.............It's all against the clock and sometimes, because of that, they mess up even when they know the right answer !

All this makes me wonder...why are there never any unemployed people on the show?
I've never once heard anybody say, "My name's Dave, I'm 36, and I'm unemployed." It might also be to do with the receipt of cash sums affecting benefit claims...potentially not declaring the money...benefit fraud and all that. |

Even regular low wage job types like supermarket shelf stacker or barman and the like seem pretty thin on the ground. I mean there's an awful lot of these people about. I should know, I'm one of them, Do these sort of people never apply to go on The Chase? Any possible answers to these questions are welcome. ![]() Quote:
Why do people say "educated guess" when they haven't got a clue? What's educated about that?? Surely "ignorant guess" would be more accurate. And I'm sick of this woman saying "I don't know this."

Are there often unemployed contestants on other such shows? If not then perhaps the production companies think such contestants would be accused by some viewers of being scroungers. Imagine the Twitter outrage! 'Lazy git just won £40k, more than I earn in a year of WORKING!" #discusting #rediculous'
It might also be to do with the receipt of cash sums affecting benefit claims...potentially not declaring the money...benefit fraud and all that. People on Twitter are very good at getting outraged at anything and everything. Some of the "news" articles these days on the internet seem to be more or less based around a few outraged Twitter quotes. |

What annoys me more is when the host of any tv quiz says "Good guess" when a contestant gives a wrong answer. The only "good guess" is a correct guess.. For example any question which starts, "What type of creature is a .....", and then the name of something you've never heard of. Now any decent quizzer should know that 90% of the time the answer to these creature questions is a fish or a bird. So either of those would be a good guess, but obviously only one of them can be correct. But, say, "antelope" wouldn't be a good guess. |

That's not necessarily true. You can give a wrong answer which is still a good guess.

Unless he's good he should go high, go out and return for the chance of £1k relying on the best player.
I only turned on while that last woman was about to do her chase. Were the others useful as nominated player? |

Well, he's through with £60k. Well done but he's on his own.
As someone who got a pitiful £2k in his cashbuilder and isn't an impressive player I can't see him being good enough or fast enough to set any sort of worthwhile target. |

Good effort from Mick, even retaining a sense of humour with that McCartney answer at the end

A target of 11 in the Final Chase was nowhere near high enough, any Chaser worth his or her seat would easily beat him, as Mark did, with 40 seconds left.
Fair play to Mick though, he did get a couple of push backs. |
