You're nearly better off deliberately getting the second question wrong given the offers they gave someone who got 4 right.

This fella looks like Frank McNamara.

The amount of times it comes down to one second.

Also if look a bit of a gomme they give you decent time which is the critical part.
If they look for over 40 seconds for what ever money you have got against two chasers you're on a loser.

This article says Anne is the best statistically with Paul just behind.

I feel on beat the chasers, Anne is a bit slow on the buzzer, while Paul seems very fast.

I think Mark is the most dangerous so to speak. When he wants to beat you he ignites the after burners and goes after you. He also pressure presses more than the others. It's a matter of pride for him far more so than the others to win.

Yeah, I spotted that myself.

Might have been editing more than anything.

He really annoyed them.

Would have been close had he gone high.

He really annoyed me! What a bizarre attitude. Wasn't paying full attention, but I didn't think he won by a whole pile?

I always felt if I was on a gameshow, at least make it worth your time and go for a decent amount

No i meant by a whole pile of time (in response to whoever said it would have been close if he taken on all 5)

The high offer was 48 seconds, he won by 11.

Told ya I wasn't paying full attention!! Thought it was a lot closer.

Still think he hadn't a prayer, he was burning through questions at an awful rate.

How's our Dub going to do???

He wasn't best pleased at that!! Will there be another twitter storm tonight?

Yer man was good (if a teeny bit lucky at the end).

You think they might be playing up to the cameras with the interactions with contestants, but it seems Mark actually hates Mohammed.

The Beast seems to be very irritable and insulting of late. I don't think he is just putting it on any more.

Muhammad was one of the most up his arse contestants ever on this show or The Chase. You'd hope he was taking the piss.

I often have to wonder about some of the answers that do & don’t get accepted.

Rewatching last nights Beat the Chasers, to hear one of the answers again, to confirm an answer that rightly shouldn’t have been allowed. When the Irish woman was doing the challenge she was asked ‘What fruit is used to make dried currents’, to which she answered first with sultanas before saying apple. By right Bradley should have stopped the clock & said have to accept the first answer.

Noticed it last week too in one of the celeb version of The Chase, question was ‘Who wrote Gulliver’s Travels’ instead of saying Jonathan Swift he answered with Swift Jonathan.

Yet last night Bradley wouldn’t allow the question that Paul gave at the last second because he didn’t pronounce it right.

No, she said "sultanas" and then said "grapes".

"Grapes" being the correct answer was said second, so Brad's actions were correct. He couldn't accept it as the first answer was incorrect.

Swift Jonathon is different. What happens is you answer the correct name, as in Swift, the follow up Jonathon is a clarification as to his first name. Always accepted, in fact many quizzes wouldn't need a first name.

Disaster.

Arrogant little fecker and a sore loser that Paul fella.

Whilst the Beat the Chasers format is entertaining its flawed.

I dont like the multiple choice question format, some of the questions are very abstract.
There seems to be no logic as to how the offers are made to different contestants.

Some offers are derisory and others are extremely generous, especially towards the weaker contestants.

It seems too contrived .
Against a good contestant the Chasers are ruthless and waste hardly any time but against the poorer contestants they waste time and throw answers .

The contestants questions seem to get harder as the 60 seconds goes on so the smart money is on taking the 40-42 second offer .
That way you avoid the harder questions .
If the Chasers want to make it easy for a contestant then they make a generous offer around 40-42 seconds, if they dont want to give the money away they make no decent offer until 45 seconds and higher.

Say Your Number

As generous as it gets, thought he'd take on 5.

A few nice wins tonight
