The days of a Chaser even coming close to catching a score in the 24+ region when it happens are long gone for all of them.

Fantastic team though today!

Why? And what's the highest money ever won?

Well done to that team!

I did chuckle when Bradley pronounced the literal spelling of 'Flava Flav' instead of Flava Flave

I think it was £100,000 in a celeb show and £90,000 in a regular show.

Wow - that doesn't happen very often.

Chaser taken to the cleaners there.

Also on the topic of highest wins, I believe £60,000 was the highest solo win.

Questions are just simply too long in comparison to Series 1-5, and theChasers virtually never get perfect games these days thanks to the higher difficulty.
It's already a mountain for the Chaser to make up for the headstart the team gets in scores of 24+ and added to that, just one question wrong can pretty much ruin them as they'd still end up short, which Mark pretty much said.

Mark Labbett ‏@MarkLabbett 7 min7 minuuttia go
Great performance from team but my confidence was zero that day. Was being punished for winning too many in 2014 with another great team
I think Mark gave up after the first 3 push backs so early.

Ahh. Was a good game. The team deserved it. We don't see that happen very often.

Much like last week, a team of four wins and the weakest player is a passenger. Ovie didn't answer any in the Final Chase. The other three would have been far better off if he'd been knocked out, then they'd have got twenty thousand each instead of fifteen. He certainly wasn't required for them to win. It backs up my calculation a few pages back that the weakest player in a team of four is probably only worth one or two points.

He's basically picked up fifteen thousand pounds for doing...not very much.

He at least had the decency not to go for the minus, which he easily could have.

If I were on the show and had gone for the high offer, and had taken the risk of getting knocked out, only to then watch somebody behind me knock ten grand off the prize fund, just to get themselves into the Final Chase, in which they are likely to be of little help, I would be less than pleased, to say the least.

I must be imagining it then when he always physically applauds individual players who get through to the final and teams when they win...

But then makes excuses afterwards on Twitter.

He got £15,000 for doing very much - I agree with this. A good thing he didn't go for the minus. I guess it would be different if he was a lot of help in the final chase but he wasn't.

Yeah well that's the nature of the game isn't it. No point griping about it.
You get to the final, you share the spoils.

If prospective candidates for the show don't like that, they are free not to apply.
If viewers don't like it, they are free not to watch.

That was also against Mark.
I also recall a 50000 pounds solo win against Paul.

Because they've all played a different number of games, it's hard to give a figure, but in percentage terms Anne is just in the lead on 78% of her games won, followed by Mark 77%, Paul 75%, and Shaun on 67%. This doesn't include Celebrity versions, which are skewed by easy questions for the celebs and the suspicion of thrown answers by the Chaser.
