A few nice wins tonight

A bit predictable and tame, I thought. Leave The Chase as is. It doesn’t work when they try to work as a team.

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

Ah its a complete fix .

Other contestants tonight were offered derisory offers and the last guy gets 3 great offers.

Credit Checker Moose

Are offers at the chasers discretion or are they fed to them by the ITV accountants?

I've often wondered the same about the ordinary game, and I assume they're fed the offers from backstage.

Whatever about the others, Mark('s ego) would completely lose the run of himself far too often to be given free rein!

Of course they don’t come up with the offers themselves. There’s a massive team behind them doing that!

Likely the same with the one-liners etc.

Didn’t like the format the first time and don’t this time around either. The cash-builder is relatively pointless bar getting the first question wrong being a disaster.

I can't watch it but maybe I'm missing something...the general public contestants go in a head-to-head at answering questions (that are chosen by the programme producers or whoever) against someone who works for the programme???

I would guess they have actuaries calculating the risks etc.. I also assume they grade contestants beforehand with tests etc..?

Some players seem to be acting the bimbo/himbo a bit to get more time and money. They suddenly get down to business and become very focused when it comes to the chase.

I’d say so. I noticed a couple of chasers looking down before making an offer.

Caught a glimpse of The Beast doing his version of Daniel Craig’s 007 coming out of the sea in swimming trunks. A real horror show!

Shauns shorts :eek:

The Beast looks like he has lost a good bit of weight in fairness to him.

In last night’s show, the chasers answered 31 questions correctly in the first section. Unfortunately, they didn’t all get through to the end but I was wondering whether 31 was the highest first round score for a team?

Last night on V2? That was the second instance of a team scoring 31 combined in the cash builder, see http://onequestionshootout.xyz/stats/cashbuilders_team.htm under the Series 6+ section.

The Governess had a horror today. 12 in the final chase and she was beaten by 7!

Yeah couldn't believe it. She usually comfortably beats any score that's below 20

I enjoyed the road trip episode tonight , some good moments.

It was something else. It must be a contender for the biggest loss taken by a chaser but I am sure Shaun Wallace has lost to 11 before.

I find something very endearing about Shaun.

The sight of the beast coming out of the sea is one I can’t get out of my mind!!

He’s settled in a bit more and is interacting with Brad and the contestants more.

I think there's a new Beat The Chasers series on this week.... it's listed in the paper as including Darragh, but not Paul Sinha.

Hope that's just giving the new guy a run out, and that Paul is OK

Paul was missing from the previous series over a month ago too due to illness, but I think this series was filmed around the same time so I think it was one bout of illness that took him out of both series'.

Paul was ill when it was filmed so Daragh got to take his place. Paul was diagnosed with Parkinson’s last year.

I cant warm to Beat the Chasers at all . I must prefer the old format

Yes, I knew about the diagnosis, hence hoping he's OK.

I haven't been following the new series, so not up on who's been appearing in that. Although I gathered from this thread that Darragh is settling in well!

I find it very scripted. While there is some scripted chat in the original, it flows better.
