"The Chase fans express frustration and disapproval following contestant's surprising move in the quiz show"
In the latest episode of The Chase, airing on ITV1 and ITVX, HR Manager Robbie from Hampshire made a bold move in the cash builder. Robbie chose to play for £4,000, a decision that set the stage for an exciting game.
The current Chasers on the show include Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, and Darragh Ennis. On this particular day, it was Shaun Wallace who was on top form, catching the first two contestants with ease.
Robbie's teammate, Amanda, also had a turn in the cash builder and managed to earn an impressive £6,000. However, when it was Robbie's turn to decide on an offer, he sought Amanda's advice. Amanda, likely considering the strategic implications, advised Robbie to go for a lower amount.
Despite the potential for a higher win, Robbie followed Amanda's advice and played for £10,000 against Shaun Wallace. The team scored 11 points in the game, but the Chaser ended their game with 35 seconds remaining.
Viewers were far from impressed with Amanda's advice, with one viewer expressing their disapproval online, calling the show an "absolute joke now!" Another viewer questioned the tactical decision, stating that Robbie could have won more if he had chosen a higher amount.
Despite the controversy, Robbie advanced to the Final Chase with £4,000. The episode concluded without mention of any record-breaking wins or the recent news about Jenny Ryan's victory on Celebrity Catchphrase.
In a separate incident, Headteacher Tim McCarthy passed away just one month after winning half of a £100,000 jackpot on The Chase. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
Meanwhile, Darragh Ennis, a former contestant, made history by joining the Chaser line-up. Darragh, who was part of a winning team against Paul Sinha in 2017, is the first former contestant to join the team.
Host Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players on The Chase, promising yet another exciting episode filled with suspense and strategy. Tune in next time to see who will emerge victorious!
