A little bit cynical I know, but it couldn't have been anything to do with the fact that one of the contestants was also a black lawyer?

[andy-hughes]

Interesting.

The inference of the question appears to be one of the following -

- that Mr Wallace deliberately threw the contest because a competitor was black,

- that Mr Wallace deliberately threw the contest because a competitor was a lawyer

- both of the above.

I have to confess that it would never in my wildest dreams have considered that Mr Wallace would lose on purpose for any reason whatsoever.

I suggest that seeing any of the above scenarios says a lot about the provider of the OP, and his attitudes to professionalism and racism.

I would conclude by saying that the OP does not merit the dignity of a response considering the ethnicity and profession of the contestant.

To consider it would give credence to a notion which is, at best, puerile and suggesting that Mr Wallace is unscrupulous, and at worst, tantamount to unreconstructed racism, which has no part on a site like this.

not cynical imo - outstandingly racist

you have outdone yourself, not something i thought possible but....

Unbelievable and completely speechless....The sad thing is that you're serious.

[RandyMarsh]

I do wonder if he is actually being serious or playing to the crowd.

[Mamyalynne]

Whichever Randy it's still worrying - the thoughts came from somewhere.

AOG could have a point. I have seen Shaun Wallace kick many a black persons backside on the chase, so maybe the being a lawyer is what swung it?


Better do some research an see how many lawyers have had an easy ride against SW.
(I only knew the answer to the popcorn Q)

That's my devils advocate reply, my alternative reply would be

What The Funicular?
seriously What The Funicular?

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - Your 'devil's advocate' reply only further exposes the breathlessly appalling premise of the OP.

I would however heartily endorse your alternative!

[andy-hughes]

It's all gone very quiet on here for some reason ....

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[EcclesCake]

@@@@ the tumble weed is blowing through.....

[andy-hughes]

Perhaps the originator is waiting for the doubtless reported posts to be removed before returning to the thread.

[Zacs-Master]

Can't you see if they're reported AH?

[andy-hughes]

Zavs-Master - //Can't you see if they're reported AH? //

No.

[Zacs-Master]

Thanks.

[andy-hughes]

You're welcome.

Anyone who has watched the chase for any length of time must have seen other Chasers get some easy questions wrong.I can remember Mark LaBet getting quite a few wrong on one chase.

[vortex]

Could AOG be attempting to second-guess on behalf of 'some chase viewers' as per the heading, as opposed to his own views?

[andy-hughes]

Vortex - it's a nice thought, but when you have been on here as long as some of us, you will notice the deeply incised patterns regarding the ethnic aspect of a lot of questions that crop up in this section.

[yogi-bear]

Sad, but true.

I always ask myself in this age and time, why?...just why?.

[vortex]

Andy Hughes - I bow to more experience...

I'm still learning though I do try to assess the facts not the AB user.

(I had a recent spat with divebuddy one night and fully agreed with him the next afternoon on another thread for example)
