??? And why wouldn't he? He did his job. With the chaser, there's no show...

brainiac: "And the chaser still got his fee, as per " - what an odd thing to say, they are on wages, Brad got paid too. It's a TV show you know and the host and chaser get paid.

It's the fatal flaw of the show: the chasers have no skin in the game, and they get paid whatever happens. If we were told that if they lost they forfeited their fee, then there would be something at stake. And it would make a more interesting and exciting programme.

Mark Labbett gurning and grimacing when he loses is a joke - what difference does it make to him?

Of course they have skin in the game, they lose too often they get fired. They are pro quizzers their job is to train and perform. If they don't perform they get fired. Just like sports people. It's a TV show first and foremost in the end and all the production staff from the host to the tea boy get paid, that's how it works.

brainiac

So how many of the chasers have been fired, then? None. They're on the gravy train.

because they win 3 times more often than they. It's a game show and it's good if people win now and again. The also have their own rankings and stats in the quiz world to consider. They win on average in all games 76% of the time. Here are the stats

What's that got to do with my point? The statistics don't matter, they still get paid.
