The Chase Today

Spoilers...

Great win for the team over the Vixen, but wasn't it nice in particular to see the youngster dominating the final chase buzzer round and making the difference? Makes a pleasant change from young people getting criticised every time they go on non-UC quizzes, huh?

[Tilly2]

She was brilliant. Well done to her.

[Tilly2]

...I can't remember her name but she was a star!

[Spicerack]

One swallow does not a summer make.

[Tilly2]

It does now. Swallows are very few and far between. They've all been shot.

[Tilly2]

Sorry, Jim...

[cashier]

She was very good, and so fast which is what is needed in the final chase? Layla she was called.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Cashier.

[chrissa1]

Yes she did very well.

What I can’t understand is why some contestants have their hand so far away from the button. They lose a couple of seconds whilst reaching for it.

How many years have you been waiting to post this, jim?

[jim360]

About two hours, Talbot. Didn't need to wait long to post it at all -- there are some brilliant young quizzers. I thought today was another shining example, is all.

Cynics, you.

[elliemay1]

She was brilliant and such a lovely modest girl.

[Tilly2]

Chrissa, I said the same to Mr T tonight. I would stand with my hand ON the buzzer, ready to press.

[jim360]

I've often wondered if they strictly need to wait until the end of the question at all. The chasers sometimes interrupt, so why don't the contestants? Bu maybe there are some rules about being fair to the audience.

The Chase does not have a studio audience - unless you mean the viewers at home?

[chrissa1]

I also wonder, Tilly if their button vibrates to let them know they have “the right” to answer, so as they don’t get the dreaded “wrong person answer.”
