The Chase

[Caran]

Why do they take the minus offer? It is so embarassing, I couldn't live with myself. I always hope they lose and tonight he did. He's out!

[Caribeing]

Yes the guy tonight was good on the cashbuilder round but took the minus glad he was out, I would rather go out on the big offer, if they get back on a minus the amount should be deducted from their winnings, I know this won't happen as it's all part of the game!

[Caran]

That's my view exactly, why should they benefit from the others success.

[nailit]

Bear with me on this...
BUT how would it pan out if the first contestant got 0 points. The chaser would HAVE to offer a minus offer. (with nothing banked)
Then supposing that all the other contestants got knocked out (all scoring 0 points)....how would that work?

I Think too much......

[Caran]

I agree!

[Arksided]

I wanted him to lose as well.

nailit a similar thing happened the other day, as there was no money in the 'bank' or the accumulator round the chaser couldn't offer a lower amount.

[silliemillie]

There was an episode last week when the woman took minus £11,000! How could she hold her head up?!

[netibiza]

Totally agree, and sometimes they do get some stick from the Chaser, Bradley and the contestants, I couldn't do it!!

[mallyh]

i'm always glad when they lose ,especially if it's a minus amount .

[murraymints]

I find the level of general knowledge extremely low ...........and if it were me it would be 'what I earn I keep' at the final round !

[Robinia]

I'm disappointed when they take the lower offer but there is sometimes an argument for it. If the first 3 get through and the last one accepts say, minus £2000, but s/he is good on one particular subject s/he may make the difference of winning the final or not. Between four of them it's a loss of £500 each.
They have to work as a team to increase their chance of at least winning something.

[mallyh]

quite a while back someone took a low offer and the other team members were cheering mark to win .

[Robinia]

lol yes mally...but if you go on the show you know what can happen and you have to accept that you may know everything but others may not. ;o)
I'd be too nervous to talk to Bradley, never mind answer questions at speed.

[Hopkirk]

When one woman took a minus offer, Bradley said to her that if the team beat the Chaser by one point, she would be recognised as the hero.

[mallyh]

i agree ,family members said me and oh should enter things but i get very nervous and wouldn't remember my name lol .

[ToraToraTora]

That happenned the other day nailit, they do not have a lower offer if there is nothing in the bin and the contestant gets £0.

I always want them to lose if:
a) anyone of them takes the lower offer and
b) none of them take the higher offer.

....and those in seat 4 who take a negative amount when those earlier have built up a good pot?....Death's too good for them!☺

[Old_Geezer]

I didn't watch it, I rarely catch the programme, but I have to say there seems a friendly and benedictory lot of folk in here.

[ummmm]

I seen one where the last person took the minus offer and he answered more than anyone in the final chase and they won.

[zebo]

Love devious people. I watched a Perfection where an older man took 11K out of a young lad's 12K, then said all his answers were right all along. Had that been me, I would have changed one of the correct answers so we won nothing, I'd only be out 1K he would have been out 11K.

ummmm,

## I seen one where the last person took the minus offer and he answered more than anyone in the final chase and they won. ##

ummmm, was that the one that the first contestant kept giving him really rude remarks, until he forgave him for getting a lot answered in the final, but said he was still a Prat.
