Watched the 1st episode last night, must say it didn't really grab me and think the premise is a bit ridiculous, a faster paced version of the awful Eggheads. Really and truly you'd have to be a genius to beat all 5 chasers on your own, you may have a chance against 2 of them but the money on offer is paltry, to have a go against 5 getting a 5/10 second start they need to put up at least a million surely, thought was disappointing and not a patch on the normal chase format.

Looks like you need to be a semi-professional actor/entertainer to get on the show.

It's a cottage industry for some people. No way is this a random selection.

Also, could they squeeze more adverts into the numerous breaks?

Good idea ruined. I'll stick to the original from now on.

One critic called it "fast paced"... he should be sacked.

She did get a 21 second start and only 50k. The one thing you do have going for you as a contestant is that if you take on 4 or 5 of them they do seem to want to hit their buzzer before the other chasers and on a couple of occasions were too quick to get in and didn't wait for the question to finish. Still didn't do much for me on an excitement level, as someone said above Eggheads V Chasers would be good.

this ought to be a lot better show than what it is tbh

the cash builder part for each contestant is virtually pointless because all the value is in taking the higher offers
time seems to be far more important than how many chasers they take on imo

I think the money being offered is generous and will be reduced if there is a second series.
p.s. kevin and Pat of the eggheads would  easily beat any 2 of the chasers

I think Kevin on his own could give all 5 a start and a beating ! Different class !

Pat and kevin are in the world top  ten quiz rankings,Paul and Anne dont play enough
events to get a true ranking,my guess would be 15 to 20. The other 3 Chasers dont play
any events,presumably they dont want to be  embarrased.

Where are all these extrovert characters coming from, bit odd really. Half expecting the army guy from millionaire on soon.

I guess that is part of the show.  Quite enjoying it, but watching it all on catch up.

Seems in this format of the show, the chasers are a hinderence to each other. Jumping the gun on questions being a big one. It's like they're in competition with each other at the same time. All for the good of the contestant. If they carry on with it though, they'll get slicker as it continues.

Indeed, and a whooping audience, it's not for me.

the chasers embarrasing themselves in this new format ,getting beat by extremely average contestants ,although its the clock thats beating them really ,one wrong answer from them and the contestant has massive advantage.

How much are they winning? I saw a dizzy woman win 25k the other night, she was followed by 3 increasingly dizzier women and I gave in.

I am sure at least two have won 50k saddo and they were not that clever.
