Spin Bob, spin.

He’s already said he had no intention of returning here. He unmistakably thought he’d be hobnobbing with the TV stars, after becoming one himself, & would be too good for us. He wasn’t expecting his shernanigans to attract such world wide disapproval.

It’s now evident that it’s backfired a little & he’s had to return here, cap in hand, to his online pretend friends because TVland & his real friends have shunned him due to his insidious acts.

He’s a Marketeer as well as Machiavellian & although he continues to play both roles, as well as playing us, we need to rise above it. He needs us right now, we may be all he’s got (apart from 5k obvs) so don’t be too hard on him.

Love, not hate.

Did autocorrect change racketeer into marketeer?

Something else regular The Chase watchers might be interested in... Colin did actually get a question wrong. It was on his head to head and about dinosaurs. The Chaser got it right.

Without real explanation why, they then re-shot it with a different question, which he got right. They then made a big fuss throughout about him being the only person ever to get every single one of his questions right.

Hmmmm.[/QUOTE]
Really? That's pretty **** . I'll be sticking to The Simpsons from now on
 
Everyday there is a headline about Twitter going into meltdown about some inconsequential matter. I used to wonder what sort of fannies went into meltdown over trivial matters. Now we know.

I've seen similar type of things on twitter whereby the last second of the countdown of the chasers question pauses more than one second to allow him time to answer. I didn't believe it, but now BCC mentioned this, maybe it is true.

There were ****loads of reshoots, things going wrong etc. On the ‘leaning tower of pizza’ answer Brad (we’re mates) originally gave it as right then we answered the next question right as well. All of a sudden someone runs on set, stops us, says the pizza / Pisa thing was wrong so we had to go back so Brad could say that we got it wrong. Then, they changed the subsequent question.

Dodgy as ****...

Probably they would have gone over budget if you added 6k, so you were urged to take the minus offer.

I’m not thinking that, but he really did give a massive speech about it. Maybe he’d seen the rest of the questions and thought they were rock hard, and he was doing his mate a favour?

Also you get no say in the order the contestants go, i was forced to be last. Maybe they thought i was more susceptible to taking the minus?
 
Always been edits. In Who Wants To Be A Millionaire they didn't have a time limit for answering but used to cut out the long pauses. In the American version some bloke who had said he was a hot shot Wall Street Broker, been to Harvard etc was given his first question and pondered for 42 minutes over the 4 choices given to him before deciding the animals Hannibal led over the Alps were llamas.

It's all about the ratings, Bummers.

Higher ratings = more revenue from advertisers.

Contestants can be well rewarded with their part but may have to put up with a few hours of insults on social media.

Another Chase tonight, another bad guy for the hordes to hate.

Maybe it is that, they might always try to get a ‘bad guy’ to boost social chatter / water cooler talk. If every contestant was great then what would anyone talk about?

Bob was right.

Obviously it requires verification from one of the other 3 contestants on here to be sure. There's no way that you can take testimony from either a tv production company or "PR-guru" Bum-Chinned Gary as factual. It'd be like accepting a Zimbabwean election result on the face of it.

I knew i should’ve got Jo’s number on the train back to Kings X.
