It seems you're very anti this idea. Perhaps we should wire them up and give them an electric shock should they answer out of turn.

I'm anti this idea for the simple reason that I don't think it would work. I doubt very much it would be a significant improvement on the way they do it now, by calling the players' names out. And it may well be much worse.

Production companies with long running gameshows will always be looking out for ways to improve the game, making it faster, more exciting, and so on. They will be mindful, however, of the saying that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. As far as I know there have been no significant changes to The Chase format since it started.

I suspect if this way, or another way of doing the Final Chase, had been found to be a significant improvement on the current method then it would have been changed some time ago.

Naturally you are entitled to your opinion however wrong it may be.

And closing out this week its Jenny

Jenny woop woop

Not really any need for such rudeness. I shall refrain from commenting further on this subject.

Jenny is not the most brainy of the chasers is she?

I honestly don't know how she got the gig. first question in was simple to work out.

I think that the others are so good that they make her look almost like another contestant.

Double leopard print, fab

exactly what i was thinking...how she got those wrong I dont know!

Brad practically gave that first bloke the answer for that newspaper question. He tapped the man on the arm when reading it out as if to say "Here, mate, you said you wanted to go to Japan."
Yet both the contestant and chaser got it wrong.

What a shame, Caroline is so lovely

Soviet leader, man of the decade in 1989? "Lenin."

Give him credit though, he's going high.

But I don't think he's going to last long.

Nice and easy for Jenny to take out David

Kudos, he did try and go for the big money

When the time is 5.42pm and seat 4 goes high, you know its gonna be a very short chase.

Should be straightforward for Jenny, but she does tend to struggle with small targets sometimes

Imperial College in Oxford? Somebody of her standard should know that's in London.

She's certainly making hard work of catching eleven.

Although she has got there.

Notch another one up for the Vixen

Not too bad for someone who's 'not the most brainy of the chasers' eh?

A minute and a half to get 11, she really struggles.

Jenny Ryan ‏@jenlion 1m1 minute ago

Not my best show, but considering it was my first show back after a 3-month recording break I can't complain about the result! #TheChase

The Chasers should almost never be losing to a target of eleven.

I'd have made myself favourite to catch eleven, and I'm not a Chaser.

I'd have known Imperial College as well. And Antonine Wall. It's much less famous than Hadrian's Wall, though, probably because it was built in turf and there's hardly anything left to see of it.

I dont think the others take breaks from studying, thats why they are superior, they constantly go to quiz nights and swot up, there is no break if you want to be a good quizzer . if anythingthey should all be better after a break as they have had more time to cram those more obscure tidbits in.

The chasers win the week 4-1

Mark - Won 2
Shawn - Won 1
Paul - Lost 1
Jenny - Won 1

You don't really need to say "Played 1, won 1" for the ones that only played once.

Just say "Won" or "Lost". Makes it a bit easier to read.

The Chase used to have a very informative Wikipedia page on statistics from the show e.g win/loss ratios, highest amount won/lost etc but for some reason this has now disappeared.
