Beats the chaser on his own

Well done my son

[tiggerblue10]

Might have to watch it on catch up!

I saw a lady beat The Beast on her own several months back.

[douglas9401]

Hmmm, that's different kind of programme altogether, surely. :-P

[tiggerblue10]

Lol

[jourdain2]

Yes, glad I saw the final bit of this - very well done! Only 20 yrs. old. Seemed a genuine, laid-back sort of chap.

Stopped watching this because I think it's fixed, but having read on here about this win, I watched it on the hub and my view hasn't changed.
Why would a chaser try to answer a question before Bradley finished asking it knowing how much was at stake and knowing how many confectioners there are?
I can't remember how many the chaser got wrong, but I don't believe he didn't know the answers.
Up until this point, he said himself he had only got one wrong.
Also, Bradley was the only one to get excited. The lad looked like he couldn't care less.
No, I still believe it's fixed.

[ToraToraTora]

for what purpose would it be fixed?

[Barsel]

TTT I don't know for certain, but it makes a good story.
Young boy of 20 wins £75.000.
He looked very uncomfortable to me also and as I said, he looked like he couldn't care less.
If that was me, I would be going berserk with happiness.

Occams Razor me old china, he was a very good quizzer, he got 18 on his own should have been more he kicked himself a few times. he also got some pushbacks. The chaser got bogged down and pushed into errors. The program is not fixed, it does not need to be.

[Barsel]

I think it would be very boring for people who watch it if the chaser won every time, so perhaps the producers might think it will be more interesting to watch if a young boy of 20 who only got 3 answers right in the cashbuilder?? on his own beats a chaser and wins what Bradley told Eden was the largest amount ever won by a contestant in a UK daytime quiz show. Very newsworthy.

[Barsel]

Sorry, I know I sound very cynical, but it's just what I believe.

[ToraToraTora]

But the chasers lose often enough without fiddling it. There is no possible benefit to fiddling it and if it ever came out it's curtains, no upside plenty of downside. The young lad was very good you seem to be denigrating that performance. He got 17 right in 2 minutes however you cut it that's very good for one person.

[Mamyalynne]

It's all about your mindset isn't it?

Some people are by nature very cynical, I am decidedly the opposite - sounds to me like a bright and calm young chap, more power to him in the future.

Barsel //Why would a chaser try to answer a question before Bradley finished asking it //
Because the clock was running down with little time left. All these comments that the show is fixed are rubbish.

[THECORBYLOON]

The Chaser lost by three points so even if he had waited and got the question correct, he would have lost by a point.

[Barsel]

Oh dear, I feel like it's me against the world. :-)
Ok, I will admit this is the first time I have ever watched this chaser as I stopped watching before he joined and so I don't know whether he is considered to be really good or not so, can I asked this?
Do you think this lad would have beaten Anne Hegarty?
Might watch it again to see which questions the chaser got wrong.

[dannyk13]

Barsel//Do you think this lad would have beaten Anne Hegarty?//
impossible to say but none of thre chasers are unbeatable.

[brainiac]

What do the Chasers care? As I've said before on here, that's the fatal flaw with this programme: they get paid win or lose. If we were told they don't get their fee if they lose, then the 'anger' they sometimes show when they lose would be more believable.

I also think the Chasers occasionally give wrong answers on purpose - you can see it in their eyes. Shaun Wallace was once asked a question that began "Which Belgian surrealist painter....", and he answered Matisse. I do not believe for a minute that Shaun Wallace really thought that Matisse is a Belgian surrealist.

[dannyk13]

Brainiac// I also think the Chasers occasionally give wrong answers on purpose -//
The Chasers are professional quizzzers, so why on earth would thay damage their reputations by deliberately giving wrong answers.

[brainiac]

Because they're receiving a hefty appearance fee for each programme
