Surely they will give this chaser the push, she s just not in the league of the others.
Just acting dumb to try and make it exciting.

Good lord. She won, but goodness me she made a shambles out of only 9.

Credit where credit's due though, Natalie gave her a run for her money, which is saying something given neither side performed particularly well!

I agree. And I think it was merely to make up the time they needed to fill.

Man cannot live by - alone?
Brent and Snow are varieties of which birds?
Jenny not knowing those is pathetic.
Bring Egghead Daphne out of retirement!

The Chaser couldn't even catch 5!

OMG I am in love with the new Chaser, Jenny... She's gorgeous.

I've actually applied to go on the Chase, I applied in late 2014 and still not been contacted

Yeah, somebody like the Beast or the Governess would've caught her in seconds.

Agree. Jenny was clearly acting dumb to give the contestant a chance. I know all the chasers try not to completely annihilate contestants when their score is low. But Jenny is such a poor 'actress' when she pretends to not know a 'bread and butter' quiz question.

Pretty sure Jenny was getting some of those wrong on purpose, just to make it more interesting.

After her initial impressive performances, Jenny's weaknesses are appearing

Twice now she has failed on relatively straightforward general science (chemistry) - today with the Ammonia question (NH4) and previously on the acids (Hydrochloric not having oxygen molecules in it IIRC)

If this is true then The Chase has no credibility. These types of shows are heavily edited, so it's not as if they need the excuse of it being to fill in time, as they can do that earlier in the show if the chaser annihilates a poor contestant, with over a minute to spare.
It's bad enough that they pretend there's an audience and are now telling them to make up job titles.

Well, she didn't succeed, did she?

I'm not keen either, but I'm not sure why.
For me, it's just that she's not as sassy as she likes to think she is...

I'm not keen on Jenny either, something a bit cocky about her when there's no need.

She's not fit to lick Frosties boots, or any other chaser for that matter. Get rid of her.

When the chaser gets questions wrong on purpose to drag out the final chase it makes a mockery of the programme for me.

Sean seems to drag out the Final Chase, on occasion.

I'm not buying this "the Chasers get questions wrong on purpose" argument. (Well, maybe they do on the celebrity editions.)

But what benefit does it serve anyone? If they're going to win in the end anyway surely you'd rather show them romp home wouldn't you? Show how formidable they really are, not have them look weak.

Jenny's just not very good is all.

If you do, and she ever finds out, you'll be in trouble.

(And thank you The Two Ronnies).
