Old dear take minus 13 grand in The Chase.

*takes

Ouch, split second last answer.

What a phucking parasite.

Justice done.

Why would you you want to play a game,where if you win you lose 13 grand,,pathetic is too mild a word for it

What a finish,,fair play to him ,,produced the goods under pressure

Takes bottle to take minus 13 grand imo.  Most people wouldn't have the courage to do what's best for themselves, even though your team mates are complete strangers, for fear of being labelled a parasite.

She might have been thick but she wasn't a fool   (I haven't watched it so I'm only guessing it was the right play)

Would she have taken -£13k if she was first up?

She wouldn't have been offered -£13k if she was first up though.  There must have been a good pot there for them to make the offer.  Plus I'm guessing she didn't have a great general knowledge, but was shrewd enough to accept that fact and played accordingly.  If she didn't make it to the final with a four space head start it shows she probably made the right decision.

Nothing but a parasite imo trying to leech off the others.

how much was in the pot?

43k when she took -13k

Good grief, I wouldn't have dared.

Exactly, shameless.

-1 or -2 perhaps, but -13!!

Pi55 take.

I was delighted when the Chaser won cos I didn't want her to get anything.

did the team beat the chaser?

just read above

I do this all the time Kenny! It takes me that bloody long to type and think, what I say often doesn't make sense cos there's other messages inbetween!

never mind, i'm a one fingered man myself, although have started using my left for the A and the S.

How much would she have added to the £43k? I think she made the right decision, £5k may mean something to her (it would to me). Say she had +£7k to add to the pot, that's £12,500 for her while £5,000 for an extra breathing space against by far the best Chaser.

There's a lot of tactics in that game, you want to make the most for yourself, I'd have done as she done.

FINGER*

How many questions did she answer correct in the final team build up?

^^^^^ One question, and the team gets an extra step just for her being in the final lineup.

Also they only got beat by a split second, so her place was in the final was crucial. It was more of an insurance tactic than anything else.

Cheers. Well she made the right decision for the team then.

She played the odds.

I think the chaser should go even further to spice things up a bit, minus half the prize pot or more.

How about instead of a minus offer for the four-step advantage the chaser demands the withdrawal of another player.  That would make things interesting!

You go in with fack all, so you can't lose.

Both of them suggested she take the minus figure so that she could get back for the extra point.

She turned around and asked them again before she accepted it, and they both said 'yes' quite happily, as they really wanted the extra point.

If she had not been there, the other two would been easily beaten.

I saw one a few years ago which I reckon was far worse than reducing a £43K bonanza down to £30K...some stupid, selfish tart took £6K from a £9K pot meaning there was just £3K to share between 3 players!
That was shameful behaviour from a super-tight bítch!
