    I dip in and out and have never seen the Chaser being beaten. The odds do always seem stacked against the contestants.

    The Wikia page claims the Chasers have a 73.5% win rate (if you add up each of the Chasers totals), or about 3 in 4.

    I think that's a decent percentage. It means most weeks will see the Chaser lose at least once.

    Some of the celebrity contestants get badly shown up - one trick ponies when it comes to general knowledge!
    I think some of the questions are deliberately focused to improve the contestants scores ! Enjoyable show though !

    There seems to be a higher percentage of showbiz and entertainment questions for the celebrity version, it seems.

    Uh... did I not attach that video in post #117? :o:o:D:D:);)

    Anyway, here's the Dark Destroyer only just succeeding in reaching an only slightly bigger target:

    So you did, sorry...

    I think the Chase would benefit from some kind of daily accumulating prize pot aswell like on Pointless, I love those. Need to get rid of Shawn Wallace though, he's the weakest link.

    If it had an accumulating prize pot, then what would that mean for the cash builder rounds and the Chasers' lower/higher offers?

    It would just be a bonus cash pot showing us how long its been since a Chaser was beaten, do you not think Pointless and Eggheads and others are a lot more exciting when you the pot accumulates into big money? As I said, you'd have to get rid of the Dark Destroyer for it to work, he drops the ball too easily...

    Leave the Dark Destroyer as he is.

    The one I've get seen beaten the most is the doctor
    I love the governess her comebacks are witty.
    Not keen in the big guy can't remember his name
    Sometimes I scream at the screen when they mess it up as a group, or when someone takes a minus number

    Low offer walkers annoy me greatly. You can nearly always tell who it will be too.

    I'd hate to have a low offer walker in my team ( that's a great expression), I'd feel like they took money off my total and did no work for it.

    They add another step to the final chase. That's about the only positive.

    Tried to watch the American Chase last night and gave up. Awful. No buzz at all.

    Not if they buzz in early and pass which has happened many times.

    And probably a BOOM sound effect for those taking the higher offer... oh, hang on. :o:D:D

    Irish guy on today's show given questions about British palaces and politics. That's the risk you take I guess. He didn't last too long.

    I'd love to see Kevin from Eggheads on it. Now he'd truly be a "Beast!"
