I think Ian will be on his own on the Final Chase! Don't think the two girls will be of much help...
The Chase (ITV) (Part 4)
68 of 368
Swap Hannah with the chap that Shaun wiped out and it would have been a well deserved win for the team
Ian was pretty good. You could see the agonies he was going through when he buzzed in and it was the wrong answer. It really looked as if it meant something to him.
Meanwhile Hannah just stood next to him smiling and doing nothing. Having said that, that's probably better than her buzzing in with a wrong answer when one of the other two might have known it.
She was worth three points, one for being there, one for her one correct answer in the final chase, and I think she helped with one of the pushbacks.
They might have won without her, but then again they might not. But they all get the same amount of money, no matter how much, or how little, they contributed. it's probably the best way to do it.
it would be different if the prize money was divvied up the way they used to do it in "Divided". I never watched that much when it was on, but I've been watching some of the old footage on YouTube.
The trouble with that show, much like Goldenballs, was that it was really only the last five minutes that was interesting. The rest of it was pretty dull.

Ian's performance was variable. He was fast but got a lot wrong. When he was guessing, waiting a second longer for an answer from the others would be better.
Hannah did answer some and made a difference in the pushbacks.
Shaun's performance was poor, as he acknowledged.

I think when Brad asked Hannah what she did she properly didn't know so said the first thing that came into her empty head,how do people get through life being so thick

No, she said she was a student at Bath University, studying French and Italian. Didn't you hear that?

You're confusing intelligence with knowledge of trivia.

There have been far luckier than her. The prize fund was pretty small tonight. The really lucky ones are the ones that share in a big win while doing next to nothing themselves.
Towards the end of November last year there was a team of four that won sixty thousand between them, fifteen thousand each, far more than the average Chase win per player. Player four didn't answer any in the Final Chase. They got about 25 steps in the Final Chase and won easily. The extra player certainly wasn't required for them to win, there were two seriously good quizzers on the team as I recall. He at least didn't go for the minus, which, as player four, he easily could have.
There is a lot of luck in The Chase, not just the questions you get, but who you get teamed up with.

When Brad asked her to say a short sentence in French and Italian, all she could come up with was "Bon jour" and "Ciao". I can managed that and I've only got an O-level in French.

I don't tend to watch the individual rounds nowadays - Just get home and watch the final chase. However, a Chaser total of 13 is pretty shocking in itself, especially overthinking Rouge et Noir to such a degree...

Someone needs to tell her she's wasting her time and somebody's money!
