Today’S Chase (Spoiler Alert)

[Caribeing]

At last a win for contestants bet Anne was sorry she offered a big amount usually they only win when a small amount is won, the barmaid was a bit thick.

[Gizmonster]

Always nice when they win big money and I love how Bradley kept his promise and gave them the quid at the end :)

[Baldric]

How many and how much would be useful

[cashier]

Two people won £42,999.00

[Tilly2]

I do like Bradley.

[Gizmonster]

There were 2 in the final.
Earlier in the game, Anne found out that one of the contestants would go big if she offered him £36 000 when it came to his turn ..... so when his turn came, she offered him £35 999. Bradley said if he took it and they won, he'd pay him the extra quid ..... which he duly did at the end.
I think they won £41 999 plus the quid off Bradley (or it might be £42 999 plus the quid - can't quite remember).

[Tilly2]

They won £42000. (with Bradley's contribution)

[Tilly2]

No 43000!

[chrissa1]

Yes. The barmaid didn’t know what dressage was.

[Baldric]

Is that ^^ a crime? I grew up at a Riding Stable so knew what it was but if you've never had any contact with horses and no interest in horsey things, why would you know?

[chrissa1]

General knowledge!! Does she not see the News, read a newspaper, catch the Olympics when they’re on?

She’s not a kid, but a grown woman.

[Baldric]

OMG, are all those things now compulsory?
I never knew,

[chrissa1]

Facetious so and so!

[goodgoalie]

She'd chosen to go on a national television quiz show! How do these people get past the audition stage? Is there an audition stage?

[Cloverjo]

Some shows have auditions. My OH went on 15 to 1 and had an audition.
The shows that pay out prize money don't necessarily want lots of clever people on as they'd lose a lot more money.

[goodgoalie]

When I went on 15-to-1, I had to pass an audition, as did everyone else who appeared.

[Cloverjo]

Yes, but 15 to 1 doesn't give away money, so it wants to have clever people on.

[goodgoalie]

I think you're right, Jo. Maybe shows like The Chase weed out serious quizzers.

[malagabob]

Ah but the barmaid did say it was her night off when her quiz was on. lol.

[lankeela]

Don't these 'thick' people realise they are thick, surely they watch the programme and can't get many right - who in their right mind would go on a national tv quiz show and make themselves look foolish? Then say 'it was before my time' when they get something wrong - its general knowledge not just what has happened since you were born.

[goodgoalie]

Ha yes, lankeela, the 'before my time' excuse really winds Ken Bruce up on his Popmaster quiz. I think he once replied to someone who'd just said it " Shakespeare's before your time, have you heard of him?"
