Did The Chaser ‘Throw’ A Couple Of Questions Today?

[naomi24]

I can't believe he didn't know Gerald du Maurier or Decolletage.  I think he was being kind.

[Cloverjo]

Who was the Chaser? I've seen Shaun get some silly answers wrong and Mark a mathematical one that I thought he should have known. 

[ToraToraTora]

You mean that could have been a TWAU? I thought about it but I thought it wasn't clear cut enough and I'd get the usual suspects pretending to be thick so I thought I'd wait for a better one.

[Tilly2]

Poor girl. She went to pieces.

[Vagus]

I don't know Gerald du Maurier, never heard of him.

[naomi24]

It wasn't a TWAU - it was the chaser - Shaun.  I simply cannot believe he didn't know the answers to those questions.  Multiple choice too.

eg here is a chaser one....

That was in the final chase though when speed is all, TTT, so just a mistake.  This was multiple choice.

[ToraToraTora]

ok here's a MC one:

I do use chaser TWAUs too.

[naomi24]

TTT, this isn't about what you do.  I would like to know if anyone else thought the chaser got those answers wrong on purpose.  That girl had only £1000 I think - so no threat to him whatsoever.

What were the questions?

It's all about keeping the viewer engaged, they have to show their human side every now and again or it's just David v Goliath without the sling.

[Canary42]

If it's in the script, then they go with it.

[ToraToraTora]

I don't think they'd get one wrong on purpose, they are too proud of their stats.
