    Yeah she's so smug and not very intelligent either. Her questions always seem to be easy too..

    Love the show except when Jenny "the Vixen" Ryan is on - no fun at all with her and the worst of the knowledge

    Despite you naysayers, she actually managed to catch a 24 in the final on Tuesday before Christmas - last time a 24 was caught was back in Series 5 when the questions were asked much quicker!

    Was that on TV3? Would love to have seen her "special" questions.

    I personally think the Vixen is great. And not just because of her looks. :)

    I have to admit, I find it hard to believe how strongly disliked she is on here... :eek: :eek: :o:o

    I was watching a load of old episodes on challenge yesterday (the good ol days :D ) so its easier for me to compare

    ^^^ That's right up there with the easiest round of final chase questions I've ever seen

    "How many in tri" "Gary lineker" "taurus" "doctor martins " to name but a few - i mean seriously

    I don't dislike her - i just don't think she holds a candle to the rest in terms of personality, appeal and charm

    She’s growing on me. She’s improved a lot since she first appeared

    Looks like she was the most successful Chaser of 2017... :D:D:):););)

    In contrast, the Dark Destroyer had quite a few bad days at the office. :D

    73% wins - it'd be very interesting to compare with previous series'

    Looking at the older episodes on Challenge, every episode seems 100% genuine - but there are far more dubious ones nowadays. I find it hard to take the Beast's losing stats at face value to be honest, definitely think a fair few of those are thrown matches.

    Does it include those farcical celebrity specials too?

    Either way I think it's easier to judge this show anecdotally given all the variables

    Beast is definitely the strongest chaser, with Sinha the most overall intelligent. Shaun is the most inconsistent, but has a higher ceiling than Anne and Jenny

    Shaun is still a full time barrister so probably isn't nearly as invested as the others, which might explain his decline

    I don't think people really watch for the Chasers' intelligence though? It's all about their personas

    Otherwise they'd have those pesky eggheads on!

    Completely unfair of course. Her questions were either tailored for her or stupidly obvious. She obviously has fanboys, for what reason I don't know.. difficult to watch

    Let's move on to something else now... such as this contestant wanting a specific higher offer and actually getting it.

    And who knew that Shakespeare had a sheep-shearing festival take place in one of his plays? :D

    Can't believe she asked for it, he offered it to her and she declined. Total let down!

    As it turned out, however, she was right to stick with the £4k.

    Imagine, though, if she'd taken the lower offer...

    :D:D;)

    The episode airing on Challenge at the moment has now-Egghead Lisa competing!

    (Can't stand her, tbh! But interesting to see)

    That is the first time I have seen her, I was not overly impressed, I thought I was going to be amazed and see her really rattling them off, stuck for time. I thought the questions were not too hard and can see another poster was previously saying that too.

    Another annoying aspect is when there's a very low target set in the final chase and the chaser throws a few questions to drag it out as long as possible to up the drama

    Shaun yesterday being a clear example

    I'm waiting for that to backfire one of these days.

    Embarrassingly obvious dive from the Dark Destroyer today. Pathetic.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    It’s not the first time I’ve seen him have a horror. If he gets any wrong early, he just looses it.

    I don't think he lost it, he just didn't try.

    Do you think he done that deliberately?
