    We have a new Chaser. And he's Irish :)
    He was once a contestant on the show and now ITV quiz The Chase has recruited Irish scientist Darragh Ennis as their new chaser.
    A former student at NUI Maynooth, Darragh is now a post-doctoral researcher at Oxford University and joins long-established chasers The Beast and The Governess in the popular gameshow, which sees a team of four contestants vying for big money in a battle of wits. He will make his debut later this year.

    Not really.

    I kinda enjoyed the different Chase there.

    Unsure about the offers that they’re giving but it’ll eventually fall into people taking what they earned in their cash builder and trying to win that.

    Funny so far (which is important)

    It's all a bit slow. Esp if Brad explains all the rules in full every single time......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,585 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Sinha may get a chance to show his comedic chops..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,316 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Gawd I hope this one doesn't do it, she's an awful pain....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,101 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    One small complaint is it feels a little bit dragged out per person.

    However the normal chase has 4 guests so I’d assume this is similar.

    Editing could probably allow for a lot more contestants.

    The guests are a bit annoying. Definitely chosen for their “personalities” - could picture a couple of them on reality TV.

    i think its good but too much faffin about and wasted time with the offers... and then theyve just wasted 5 minutes gwtting the lifestory of a person for them to get knocked out on the first frickin question. Needs severe editing to maintain interest i think.

    And more cash potentially given out.. so I get the impression that's why it's dragged out.

    A former winner and Mastermind semi finalist. This could get interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,316 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    A normal contestant, finally.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭Pistachio19


    Hope she does it now.

    It’s ITV so I should have expected that but quiz shows and cliffhangers is not a TV device I’m a fan of.

    Just as they got a good one too.

    My dreams often end at the good bit with the claxon from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

    I expected it to be better.

    I thought all the one liners between the contestants and Bradley were very rehearsed.

    Still enjoyed it as a one off weekly alternative. Can't beat the original.

    It's on every night this week. Presume it'll be an occasional thing, like Millionaire?

    Sally was good, would have won if she went lower.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,101 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Damn that was close.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,453 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Great effort from the cliffhanger contestant. One or two great answers under pressure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,316 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Sally was good, would have won if she went lower.

    First (and possibly last!) "normal" contestant.

    Really thought she might do it, she was brilliant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,101 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Really doesn’t matter what you get in your cash builder really

    All offers between the games are fairly relative, in particular the large ones.

    I love the dirty looks when one of the Chasers get one wrong :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,316 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Rabbit in headlights, that fella.

    Fair dues to him!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,453 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Pressure really got to him I think.

    The Beast’s reaction when Paul got the Jim Carrey Batman question wrong :):):)

    Thought he had that. Think he had 13 seconds on the clock to their 3. Good contestant, just caught out by a couple of toughies at the end.
