    What is it with Chase contestants wanting Motor Homes/Camper Vans? Almost every day one contestant says it's on their wish list!


    It is a massive thing with the British. Well, the English. They're mad for them

    One lady did win £50,000 on her own.

    I do agree, he WAS brilliant.

    Anyone else get mildly irritated by Sean's habit of throwing out completely irrelevant facts about the questions/answers?

    Yes and in a lot of cases the facts he states aren't necessarily true. I realised this when there was a question about the movie ' all about eve ' ( which would be my mastermind specialist subject ) and as an aside, stated confidently and as fact, after the answer was given, that it was directed by Billy wilder. (But I knew it was Joseph mankevicz ) so now whenever he does this ' fact stating ' I google it and 3 times outta 5 he's wrong!

    He's the c.j. de mooi of the chase for me!

    He's been particularly irritating of late - to the point where i sometimes won't bother watching his shows....

    Ah that's harsh.

    Maybe Shaun does get his facts mixed up, and maybe he is the weakest Chaser - but he's definitely more likeable than CJ.

    And I'll never tire of his catchphrase:

    This could tie in with the "feeling old" thread, when you haven't a clue who the celebrities are (UTV 7pm). Susie Dent (car repairs?), Anthony Crolla (who?), Ellie Taylor (:confused:) and Harry Redknapp. Well 1 out of 4 ain't bad. If 'Arry gets the money he might be confused if it's not in a brown envelope.

    Feeling old is no excuse for not knowing who Susie Dent is. In fact most people would assume it would help as old people is the core audience for Countdown.

    He'll only end up putting it into his dogs bank account anyway.

    Susie Dent is around for AGES! In fact, I think she was in Dictionary Corner when I appeared on Countdown, about 20 years ago :eek::D

    Anyone else's recording of The Chase skip a whole chunk of the 3rd player's round tonight? My Sky box is up to all sorts of tricks tonight :mad:

    Yes, it jumped back to The Chase in the middle of the ads. We didn't see player 3's cash builder, just them against the Chaser and they seemed to be a question or two into it already.

    She was playing for £100 so maybe we didn't miss much... :pac:

    Meh, you could see that The Vixen threw that away intentionally today! I guess they have to let a certain amount of teams win. £12 K is a small amount.

    Indeed. They just got the wrong chaser! Any of the others and they were home and dry.

    Interesting to see if Dick shakes Harry's hand when he goes back, he's disgusted.

    Edit: Gone anyway. Good!

    Tipping Point Lucky Stars on Saturday at 6pm (UTV) features 3 of the chasers, Mark Labett, Anne Hegerty and Paul Sinha. Never seen them not on The Chase before.

    Delighted for Harry yesterday. Taking a minus offer, unless told by the team to take it, is pure scumbag behaviour imo. I also loved Dick's reaction.

    A question about Trump. :D 18 on his own then got pushbacks, fair play you could tell he looked like he'd been caught. Amazingly close.
