That was very harsh. if he'd taken that he'd have been almost halving their money compared to taking the £4K.

Good team but I just can't see them winning, only because the team won yesterday and they hardly ever show two wins in a row.
Doesn't this ruin it about the chase? If the team won yesterday the chaser will win the next day. We'll see.

Another good game today

Yes I have made this point previously that because they want to space the wins out it makes it too predictable. I think they've only shown two wins in a row four or five times.

Probably the single most important statistic when predicting if the team will win is not how many players reach the final, or even what score they get - it's just whether the team won the previous day.

If the team didn't win the previous day, the chance of a win is probably about thirty-five to forty percent.

if the team did win the previous day, it's probably about one or two per cent.

What if they went a week without showing a win, too?

They started off well but fell away. The second minute particularly there were times they were all just standing there waiting for somebody to do something.This is why you should have a Captain that takes charge. Also, passing on a "Which Superhero.." question, you might as well have a guess rather than pass, there's only about two or three it's likely to be.

I don't know if they've ever shown a week without a win. There certainly isn't many, if they have.

You can look up "The Chase Wiki" page (not the Wikipedia page) that has all the results on it and check for yourself if you're interested.

I thought Stewart was a decent player but showing a great lack of knowledge, hasn't heard of venting your spleen and thought Jack Niicklaus was the Great White Shark!

This could turn out to be Mark's easiest game ever.

Young Ben was brave - and got off to a lucky start with that mistake by Mark. Shame he couldn't hang on to it. Not going to be much of a final chase, I'm thinking...

So am I, thinking it was going to be easy for Mark. Ben is pretty good.

Minus £10K

Logically that's what she should go for.

They did the right thing. Ben's good but he'd really struggle alone so it was worth £10k to get someone extra. She's not so good but she'll add her fields of knowledge. I hope they work ok together. Plus a step.

She seemed to pass a lot. Think they might need some pushbacks...

11 is poor. I got 13 on my own without a head start of 2.

Yes, there were loads of times she instantly pressed the buzzer just to pass and you could see him trying to answer.

Poor Ben.

He'd probably have been better alone.

I am convinced that they deliberately select weak contestants when the loathsome Mark Labbett is the Chaser to maintain his so called reputation
The times when he faces a good team, he loses
