If we’re being serious for a minute, it has made me question more of what we see. Of course i understand selective editing but i didn’t think it would be something that would apply to a tv quiz show. Why would they do that? But then it becomes pretty obvious, if they’d shown the other parts there would have been zero social engagement, nobody is talking about the programme and then they might not tune in next time to get angry at the latest ****.

I was even warned in an email specifically not to look at social media while it was airing, so they 100% knew it was coming. I’ll defo be more aware of this watching tv in the future.

It was interesting watching the twitter chatter before i went up, everyone knew i would go low when we had 3 home and so much in the bank. I assume therefore this must happen a lot (i don’t watch it).

I swear on my mother’s life i had never seen it until i got my live audition. It was actually my mum who text me one day to say ‘The chase are looking for contestants, you should apply’. She’d seen it in a magazine and sent me a link.

Even in my phone auditions i didn’t know how the game itself worked, but they were just general knowedge questions and personality interviews.

Then when i got my live audition and i was told we would be playing The Chase i watched a few episides to see how it worked. Then when i got through and was told i was filming i watched some more to suss out the strengths / weaknesses of the Chasers.

I’ve probably seen a dozen episodes tops in my life, including the one i was on.

So your Mum told you to audition for the Chase but you didn't know you would be playing the chase until you got to your live audition? How's that work.

I didnt know the live audition was going to be a game of The Chase. It couldve been anything - an interview on camera, a general knowledge test etc - but we literally played The Chase.

I don’t work in Marketing. I have never said that i do.

I never said it hadn’t occurred to me about live tv. If you want to show me where i said that I’d be pleased to read it. You really do have a problem with details...

Also, I’d be interested in how ‘selective editing’ occurs in live tv...

Ah right, thought you meant you were told you were auditioning to go on The Chase at the live audition. <laugh>

Hope I can catch the full episode, only seen the final bit. Never watched it before so don't quite understand the carry on.

Only game show I tried to go on was a jokey one that I think they wanted **** contestants for, in the audition I answered all the questions right and knew most other people's specialty subjects and I got sent packing. They kept some plump idiot who loved ABBA and some old bloke obssessed with guns. So well done on getting through and having a crack.

You seemed pretty surprised they would try to paint someone as the bad guy. <laugh>

Because it's filmed in front of a live audience. I'm talking reality tv/game shows that aren't scripted.

Marketing and PR are the same bullshit. You all just add fluff to a business that adds no real value.

As I said, never watched the show before, but you're being a complete pedant now. Game shows/reality tv/ whatever you want to call it, filmed off the cuff with no script and supposedly "reality". It's all bullshit. The fact you didn't think they might paint you as an idiot makes you pretty naive.
 
I have to say I’m surprised none of you, or anyone on Twitter that I saw, took the piss out of the shirt. They paid for a train and hotel in London so I thought ‘**** it, I’ll buy some new clothes’ and went down with literally nothing. I bought a couple of nice tops that fit with their criteria and one shirt i really wasn’t sure of that wasn’t my usual style. Of course they made me wear that one and i think it’s pretty dodge.

Suppose the ginger **** routine overshadowed it.

I don’t think they did paint me as an idiot, I got a lot of questions right and without me they would have gone home with nothing.

Speculation. They could have got more right without you and your football answer. <laugh>

All a bit of fun though. Start with nothing, leave with nothing.

Its not speculation, its FACT. They would have been caught.

And just a point on PR and Marketing not adding any value to a company, its a fair evaluation. That’s why every major company in the world does both.
