Hahahaha

She's my favourite as well, just a shame she gets a rough ride on social media especially when she makes the slightest of mistakes or loses a game

Go home now ladies!

Beth
at least I suppose she did get one question right

Imagine that, they got 10

Beth a great help there

Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan at first but she's grown on me a lot.

Yesssss

Much too easy for our Jenny

I hope their relatives weren't watching. The chaser being kind to them.

I'm not going to say anything because I'm trying to be tolerant.
It's SO hard.

Is this a repeat? Beth looks kinda familiar.

"Zero is absolutely ok"? If I was standing next to Patrick, I would've given him a dead arm.

Omg! She beat Jenny on that question because she thought a clarinet was a brass instrument.

These Gala Bingo sponsor links with Jenny and Shaun are totally cringe worthy.

Beth thought the second word of the anthem was 'Queen'.

Thick as pigshit that one.

She looks like a young Jenna Coleman (how she looked when she appeared in Emmerdale and Waterloo Road)

You know revenge porn? When a man gets at his ex-girlfriend by posting naked picture of her on the internet? Do you think Beth's ex-boyfriend got revenge on her by sending in an application for her for The Chase?

They're certainly going to give those awful new BBC1 idents a run for their money in the awfulness stakes.

Ahhh yes. That's who she reminded me of.

The sinnerman looked like he had only just woken up/slightly drugged up during that little segment he was in.

Rarely watch this programme, and after tonight's episode I remembered why.............where do they find these contestants?

But they've done so many episodes with so many contestants. It's only natural, they are not as good as they used to be.

I caught a repeat on Challenge yesterday - one of the contestants was Derek Hayes who I've seen on loads of other quizzes over the years. He and one of the others got 8,000 each against Mark and then beat him in the final chase (Mark said he thought Derek was a good quizzer and could have taken his higher offer).

Whenever I see old eps (I'm a relatively new Chase watcher) the contestants always seem much stronger in the cash builders - quite often getting 5k plus, where with the newer ones showing on ITV now 5k seems a good result.

I think that's more to do with the fact that there was a distinct change in the style of questions for episodes from Series 6 (2012) onwards. They became longer and trickier ones became more common. (Mark himself confirmed this). Prior to this, it wasn't uncommon for high cash builders (£14,000 being a landmark high) or high scoring Final Chases. (As high as 28 a couple of times.)

It's basically why teams scoring over 20/Chasers catching 20+ scores on the challenge repeats (which go up to Series 4) are so common when now they're a rarity, it was a genuinely easier show back then.

They reject a lot of contesatants at audition stage if they display too much knowledge for Thicko "character" contestsants .

Complete nonsense, there are tens of thousands of proper quizzers who would wipe the floor with the vast majority of contestants on The Chase.

Go and watch some matches in a quiz league - I think you will be surprised at how much more knowledgeable the team members are than the people they put on this show.
