The Chases Worst Contestant?

[DarceyK123]

Why on earth did that girl today put herself through that humiliation?

She wasn't even trying, in the cash builder she was cutting off Brad with her passes before he'd even got half the questions out.

I'm sure she could have got some of them if she had stopped to listen.

Makes me wonder why the put themselves through it, I would love to go on a game show as I'm always the one shouting at the TV and regularly get up to top questions on Millionaire but I know if I was actual on the TV I would go to pieces and make a complete fool of myself.

No jj. Not because he is blind. Of course in reality I will bow to the bench. However because we are close and take the pee that is what I have said in jest. What I will never do tho is pity him. His brain works his eyes don't. He doesn't need to have slack cut. I'm not going to get personal like you jj in calling me disrespectful because I don't dish out pity unnecessarily.

[Barmaid]

And where did I say she should have been tougher? And where did I lack empathy? I SAID I have been there. She had bad nerves. I feel sorry for her nerves just like I would a fully sighted person but I am bloody well not going to ascribe the reason she cocked up to her visual impairment.

[DarceyK123]

Jj - weather she is blind or not is neither here nor there.
What difference does that make?
I'm talking about her as an individual not a blind person, she wouldn't want to be treated any different would she?

And before you get on your disability high horse, my mum is almost blind, just sees shadows, but she doesn't let anyone treat her differently.

..How can one pass a question not even asked ? It was excruciatingly embarrassing to watch

[Caribeing]

Agree she was one of the worst contestants ever passing before hearing the full question not even tried to guess what made me amused about it was the other contestants telling her what offer to take as they needed her knowledge what knowledge, pathetic.

I don't think it would be in the spirit of the show to say "tbh it doesn't matter lol", so it's fair enough.

Who knows, she might have got over her nerves by the final chase? In the end as I understand it she went out before then but people have picked up their performances before so...

I feel sorry for her.

[Sqad]

LOl...AB psychological department here in full strength on this thread.

I have sympathy for this girl, based on physical and emotional circumstances.
However, I feel that "passing" BEFORE a question was asked was a pre determined strategy and this cannot be condoned in my opinion.

[Sqad]

I must be honest here....I have NEVER heard of the term "Brain Fart" before.
I have looked it up.......;-)

I have long thought that TV quizzes intentionally select the odd 'dumb' contestant just to give us a bit of light relief.
Remember Jade Goody?

[pixie374]

Watching talbot's link, I think her mind just went blank, she panicked and just wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible.

[anotheoldgit]

I don't know if she was totally blind or just partly blind.

But she seemed to have a bit of an attitude, and didn't seem to please Brad when she called him grandad.

What I have noticed is the fact when some contestants reach the chase slope they put on their glasses, do they need to see something and if so how did this contestant manage?

[Tilly2]

I felt really sorry for her. I think she just went into panic mode. Poor girl.

[murraymints]

Agree with AOG she did have a bit of a negative attitude and was clearly being positively encouraged perhaps because of her sight problems... it was very uncomfortable viewing..

[Sqad]

I thought that she had an "attitude "problem from the very start.

[DarceyK123]

She didn't ooz warmth did she?

AOG - there is a screen to the right just like we see on the tv with the question and 3 possible answers, suppose it's useful to be able to see it but as Brad reads it all out anyway it's not necessary.

[dunnitall]

Agree with sqad...an attitude problem from the beginning! I don't discriminate...doesn't matter who people are...I want to see what they are like...just how they come across. Ridiculous to the enth degree... passing on questions before you hear them. There were questions she could have answered if she had listened to them fgs.

Never seen the like before on this, programme and hope to never again. She should be ashamed at her performance and her attitude... she needs a good talking to. We pussyfoot around those who are 'less fortunate' yet they want to be treated as equals. So she should IMO be ashamed and the producers should also be ashamed if they knew how she was at letting her appear on the programme.

I've no doubt her fellow contestants were in despair at her performance. Shame on her and those who allowed her to be a contestant.

[davegosling]

This won't be a popular answer and may get pulled, but she was one of those people who believe their disability gives them the right to be rude. I thought Bradley, her team-mates and the Chaser did really well not to tell her to grow up.

[murraymints]

Agree Dave !
