The Chase (Game Show)	comment	British Game Show hosted by Bradley Walsh (two American and one Australian versions also exist; see below). As explained at the start of every episode, a team of four players, never having met before, answer trivia questions to earn cash and then compete against the day's "Chaser" (one of several resident trivia/quizzing experts) for the chance to take home an equal share of the money the team earned overall. The name of the show comes from the need to answer enough questions correctly to stay ahead of the Chaser on the show's gameboard. Considering the Chasers have prominent backgrounds in local/national/international quizzing competitions, and the rather difficult nature of the questions, this is not easy. For the first round ("Cash Builder"), each individual team member (in turn) has 60 seconds to answer as many quick-fire trivia questions as possible, earning Â£1,000 for each correct answer. The total amount is then brought into the second round. All this happens after a pre-round interview with the contestant. In the second round ("Head-to-Head"), they then compete against the day's Chaser for the right to play in the Final Chase. They can start three steps ahead of the Chaser and play for the Cash Builder total, take one step toward home and play for a lower amount, or move one step toward the Chaser for a higher stakenote (Or two steps on the GSN Version; see Flawless Victory and Schmuck Bait below). Then both the Chaser and contestant answer multiple-choice trivia questions. If either gets it right, they move a step down the table toward the contestant's end. If the contestant reaches home, they advance to the Final Chase and their money goes into the team's prize pot. If the Chaser catches up, both the contestant and the money are out of the game. In the third round (the Final Chase), the surviving team members answer as many quick-fire questions on the buzzer as they can in two minutes.note If all four contestants were caught, they elect one team member to play the Final Chase for Â£1,000 each. If only one person is in the Final Chase, no buzzers are used. Each correct answer moves them one step ahead, and they receive a one-step head start for each surviving member. The Chaser is then given two minutes to catch the team, and each pass or miss gives the team a chance to push them back one step by answering correctly.note If the team pushes the Chaser back when the latter hasn't got a step yet, they gain an extra step. If the team is caught, they leave with nothing; if not, the surviving team members split the prize pot equally.The original two Chasers were Mark Labbett ("The Beast") and Shaun Wallace ("The Dark Destroyer"), with Anne Hegerty ("The Governess") joining in 2010, followed by Paul Sinha ("The Sinnerman") in 2011 and Jenny Ryan ("The Vixen") in 2015. All five are renowned quizzers of a similar caliber to Eggheadsnote In fact, all five have competed on Are You an Egghead?, with Wallace reaching the Series 1 final and Hegerty reaching the Series 2 semi-finals; Labbett and Ryan even faced each other in Series 1 (Ryan won), as did Hegerty and Ryan in Series 2 (Hegerty won), including a Mastermind winner (Wallace) and two champions of Only Connect (Labbett and Ryan, with Ryan also being the first woman to be part of a winning team on the show). Darragh Ennis, who appeared as a contestant on a winning team in 2017, became the show's sixth Chaser ("The Menace") in 2020. A primetime spin-off, Beat the Chasers, also launched that year, featuring singular contestants competing in a timed, head-to-head duel against multiple Chasers.The first attempt to bring The Chase to America, with Mark Labbett (promoted as "The Beast" as opposed to his real name) as the single Chaser and Brooke Burns hosting aired on Game Show Network for four seasons from 2011 to 2015. The rules were changed slightly, with only three people per team, a $5,000 per question Cash Builder, occasional six-figure "Super Offers"note (even higher than the increased offer, but the player had only a one-step head start and needed seven correct answers to bank the money), and a Live Studio Audience. Two episodes into the second half of the fourth season, GSN announced that the program would not be renewed, citing that it was too expensive to continue producing. The American version was also seen in Britain on the Challenge channel, where it's billed as The Chase USA. The third and fourth seasons would later be made available for streaming on Netflix. ABC rebooted the series for primetime in January 2021 with the Jeopardy! trio of James ("The High Roller") Holzhauer, Ken ("The Professor") Jennings, and Brad ("The Buzzsaw") Rutter as Chasers and Sara Haines (The View) replacing Brooke Burns as host, awarding $25,000 per question in the Cash Builder. This version adds a room called the "Chasers' Lounge" where the two non-playing chasers can watch the game and provide color commentary. Labbett would later join the ABC version for its second season, at which point the Cash Builder question value was reduced to $10,000. The third season, which premiered on May 3, 2022, saw the departure of Jennings and Labbett but also welcomed three new Chasers: Victoria ("The Queen") Groce, Brandon ("The Lightning Bolt") Blackwellnote who, while American, was probably more notable as a quizzer in the UK, where he won University Challenge while at graduate school at Imperial College, London, and another memorable Jeopardy! figure in Buzzy ("The Stunner") Cohen.The Chase Australia began airing on Australia's Seven Network in September 2015. The Australian version was originally hosted by Andrew O'Keefe and features Anne Hegerty and local Chasers Matt Parkinson ("Goliath"), Issa Schultz ("The Super Nerd"), and Brydon Coverdale ("The Shark"). Mark Labbett joined the lineup in 2016, after the GSN versionâ€™s end; Cheryl Toh ("Tiger Mum") debuted in 2019, followed by former contestant Mara Lejins ("The Smiling Assassin") in late 2022. In late 2021, Larry Emdur (from The Price Is Right and Wheel of Fortune fame) replaced O'Keefe as host after the latter was charged with domestic violence and common assault in January 2021. Each correct answer in the cash-builder round earns $2,000.Not to be confused with Sci Fi Channel's Cha$e. Also read Win Ben Stein's Money, which was a ring-in game show that also offered contestants a chance to beat the titular quizmaster for some quick cash.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_1be7d298	type	Easy-Mode Mockery
The Chase (Game Show) / int_1be7d298	comment	Easy-Mode Mockery: Taking the low offer results in a lower potential prize, and the Chaser will often mock the player for taking it if they did well in the Cash Builder (or talked themselves and other contestants up during previous rounds). There are occasions where this doesn't happen, particularly with poor players in situations where the numbers are dwindling; knowing how good you aren't is sometimes more important than knowing the questions themselves, and you can't win anything if you get caught. On at least one occasion, a player took a (negative) low offer and made it home, and the team went on to win the Final Chase by exactly one step — the head start for having that extra player in the game. Mark will sometimes chastise a player for not taking the lower offer, especially if it was early in the game (and therefore had no chance of being negative) and the player had a weak Cash Builder, meaning the low offer may reduce the total prize pool by a negligible amount. For him, sometimes taking the middle offer is the worst thing to do. Mark once declared a negative low offer to a contestant specifically to prevent them from betraying the team. The guy actually took it. His team immediately turned against him and Mark caught him in one of the few times where a contestant elimination on the show was positive.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_20a14df0	comment	Wrong Genre Savvy: Many a contestant has come onto the show proudly stating that they play pub quizzes a lot. While this can be good trivia exposure, The Chase focuses entirely on verbal and written questions, whereas pub quizzes can use a variety such as naming songs from samples or locations from pictures. Many pub quizzes are also played as a team; while The Chase is also a team game, the first two rounds are played on your own and demand far more individual knowledge (the Final Chase also only features team huddles for pushbacks). Time pressure is also a significant factor.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: Less-skilled contestants will often invoke this when they fail to read a question correctly (very rarely, the Chasers themselves do this). While The Chase is considered to be one of the more difficult quiz shows, many questions can be outright guessed based on a provided clue (pyro = fire, for instance). Video game questions are ripe for invoking this: if a question is asked about what you drive in Grand Theft Auto, a contestant may panic over not knowing anything about video games to realize they only have to answer "cars". In one 2020 episode, a team was given a lecture by Anne on Henry I, who died in 1135 supposedly of eating too many lampreys. Would you believe it, he came up in the Final Chase, and the team passed.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_2319aa2e	comment	All or Nothing: Escape the Final Chase, and win the cash. Otherwise, it's a victory for the Chaser, and the team earns absolutely nothing. Lose your head-to-head chase, and your only chance to take home any money is if everyone else on the team wipes out too. In cases where the first three players are knocked out, it's common for the fourth contestant to go for broke and pick the high offer regardless of skill level since if they're caught they'll have to pick someone for the final chase anyway for the lowest possible cash amount. This rarely works for both the head-to-head and the Final Chase, but on the off-chance they're successful, they'll have won a huge amount of cash all to themselves.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_231c34d2	comment	Suddenly Significant Rule: On the GSN run in the US, the five-second shot clock in the Individual Chases. If Brooke said something to the effect of, â€œRemember, you and the Beast must lock in within five seconds of each otherâ€� before the first Individual Chase, it was almost certain that one of the contestants (usually the first contestant) would get locked out by the time limit. Averted on the UK version, because unlike the Game Show Network version, there is a short piece of music that kicks in immediately when someone enters their answer. This would be remembered for the ABC run, often with one side scrambling to avoid being locked out (and risk spotting the other side a "free answer" that could cost the game).

The Chase (Game Show) / int_2b694b8	type	Flawless Victory
The Chase (Game Show) / int_2b694b8	comment	Flawless Victory: Often highlighted by the Chasers who point out to a contestant that they haven't gotten an answer wrong yet. The American GSN version raised the stakes with occasional six-figure "Super Offers" that could run as high as $250,000. However, these offers gave a head start of only one step and fell into Schmuck Bait territory, since one wrong answer by the player would knock them out of the game unless Mark missed the same question. (No one ever took the Super Offer.) A more straight example would be if a contestant answered all of their questions correctly during the head-to-head; a chaser can't catch anyone who doesn't answer incorrectly. That had happened before in the British version when Colin answered every question correctly in both his Cash Builder and his head-to-head round against Paul Sinha. On the flip side of things, during the Final Chase, players cannot push back a chaser who answers everything correctly. Of course, the chaser still has to catch up before time runs out, but while it's easy to see if the contestant(s) score on the lower end of things, a flawless chase by said chaser becomes important if they have to score 20 points or more. On one occasion, Mark defeated a team scoring 26 with no wrong answers and 3 seconds remaining, visibly exhausted after the chase and acknowledging that he got lucky. The Chasers often try to have perfect games where they give no wrong answers in a single episode. On at least one occasion Mark answered too quickly trying to do this and breaks his streak in the Final Chase.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_3bc88a7f	comment	This can happen in the inverse as well: on at least one occasion a poor player made it back but the other two are knocked out. When the fourth contestant turns out to be excellent, the remaining player begged them to not go high and either stick or go low so they had some support. The fourth contestant instead goes for broke and inevitably gets caught, leaving the unskilled player on their own where they lose the Final Chase, meaning nobody won any money.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_3d699462	comment	Curb-Stomp Battle: Whenever only one player survives to the final round, the Chaser usually ends up winning with a considerable amount of time left. However, there have been some subversions where either the solo contestant emerged triumphant or the Chaser barely makes it halfway to the target: In January 2013, a solo contestant faced Mark in a 15 point final chase. There were numerous pushbacks, and Mark lost with only one answer to go. The contestant's winnings were Â£60,000 (a little over $91,000), the largest single win ever! In Series 1 Episode 2 of the US GSN version, where a full-house team (3 contestants in the US) faced Mark in an 18-step final chase. After some dreadful mistakes, Mark lost with two steps to go. The contestant's winnings? $180,000 (about Â£118,000) - more than Mark has ever lost to a team in the UK version, and the highest cash prize in GSN's history. Also in the GSN version, one contestant, with a bank of $125,000, managed 7 total pushbacks, forcing The Beast to outright surrender in the end, making only 10 steps out of 19. The episode airing September 2, 2014 was an embarrassment for the Beast, where the players not only managed to make $175,000 and a record 26 steps in the Final Chase (with most of those due to one player, future Jeopardy! mega-champ and Chaser James Holzhauer), but for the first minute of the game, the Beast got so many questions wrong that he never got past 2. Needless to say, it was an unprecedented landslide for the players. Season 2 Episode 38, Australian version: Nick marked history as the first Australian player to win with a one-man team. Even more impressive is the fact that he was facing the Governess, whose very page information stated that she had never been defeated by a one-man team before.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Series 1 only had Mark and Shaun as the Chasers. The early episodes were also quite subdued by comparison. A lot of the gags were absent, and the Chaser of the day was revealed in the intro. The arrival of a Chaser to face the first contestant was preceded by a profile of just him. Funnily enough, the ABC version uses this style of intro at present, though it had three Chasers. As the series goes on, the set goes through several revisions, including replacing the circular disk at the bottom of the head-to-head table with a floor that stretches back to "the bar" where the contestants are, which itself has been changed several times. Going back to these episodes is a strange sight. The culture around low offers has also changed quite a bit, at least regarding the Chasers and the host. In the early days a negative offer of any amount was tantamount to treason: -2,000 was enough to earn your team's ire and ward off anyone thinking of going low. Nowadays however it's understood that in certain situations it is justified to go low, so the "I'm setting this so you won't take it" offer is closer to -7,000. Chastising a player for going low is now only done when it's tactically unjustified: if one person brought back 50,000 but is the only one back, the last player taking -10,000 is acceptable. Interestingly, this outlook rarely applies to the contestants themselves: "I'll never take the low offer" is still said very frequently no matter what it actually is. The first season of the ABC show had Cash Builders worth a whopping $25,000 each. This was toned down to $10,000 after they realized it made the choice between the three amounts almost moot.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_4f84cdef	comment	Smug Snake: In one episode, a young man named David, fourth on the podium, spent the whole show encouraging the other contestants to take the low offer. Paul Sinha was infuriated by both this and his mocking of the Chaser's banter, but when David was left alone, he gave him the chance to put his money where his mouth was and offered Â£40k after a mere Â£3k cash build up. He took it, got it, and came very close to beating Sinha in the final chase, earning himself a standing ovation from a genuinely impressed Chaser. There have been many contestants over the show's run who proudly drop that they play in pub quizzes, only to learn the hard way that The Chase is a very different ball game regarding the question difficulty and the caliber of the Chasers.

Prior to Mara Lejins' ("Smiling Assassin") debut, Cheryl Toh, "Tiger Mum," was one, as she was the only female Chaser in the Australian version due to the coronavirus situation preventing Hegerty (and also Labbett) from gaining a work visa for Australia.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_62259825	comment	Nintendo Hard: The questions can often be brutally difficult compared to other game shows. Amplified by the fact The Chase gives far lower amounts of money than other game shows unless the players go for the even harder high offers, especially the "Super" Offers on the U.S. version, which required a 7-answer Flawless Victory to just stay in the game if taken (unless the Chaser missed a question). Taken even further on Beat the Chasers as you don't have the luxury of a team to back you up. Not only that, but to play for a higher payout, you have to give the chasers a higher safety net by allowing more chasers into the game with more time on their side of the clock.

Contestants also show similar seriousness when playing, which can cause frustration when one of them is only there to have fun and has a rather flippant attitude.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_6ef9d3fe	comment	Christmas Episode: Except for 2016, The Chase has held celebrity episodes around Christmas every year since 2012, usually during their "Text Santa" marathon. Unlike other episodes, each of the celebrities faces a different Chaser, with one of them (2012-14) or the fifth (2015 on) playing the Final Chase. The Chasers have dressed either in formalwear, or in costume as follows. 2012 — Panto villainsnote (Mark was the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk, Anne was the Queen from Snow White, Paul was Captain Hook, and Shaun was one of the Ugly Sisters) 2013 — Traditional Christmas charactersnote (Shaun was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Paul was an elf, Mark was the Grinch in a Santa suit, and Anne was a Christmas angel) 2014 — Sequin-covered formalwear based on their usual outfits, while Bradley and the contestants wore suits and dresses 2015 — Everyone onstage wore a Homemade Sweater from Hellnote (All five Chasers appeared thusly dressed in the intro, but only Mark played the episode) 2017 — Characters from A Christmas Carolnote (Shaun as the ghost of Jacob Marley, Paul as Ebenezer Scrooge, Mark as Tiny Tim, Anne as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Jenny as Mrs. Cratchit, and Bradley as Bob Cratchit) 2018 — Bands that charted #1 hits at Christmasnote (Shaun as Elvis Presley, Jenny as Madonna, Anne as Ginger Spice of the Spice Girls, Paul as Freddie Mercury of Queen, and Mark as Noddy Holder of Slade) 2019 — Characters in movies about, or released at/near, Christmasnote (Shaun as John McClane from Die Hard, Paul as Buddy from Elf, Mark as Santa Claus from Miracle on 34th Street, Jenny as the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, Anne as the Mother Abbess from The Sound of Music) 2020 — Subjects of famous paintingsnote (Anne as Marilyn Monroe, Mark as King Henry VIII of England, Paul as King Charles II of England, Shaun as The Mona Lisa, and Jenny as the Girl with a Pearl Earring)

None of the other rounds are like this: the Cash Builder is an easier, solo form of the Final Chase, and the head-to-head gives multiple-choice answers to even the playing field. Beat the Chasers is the inverse, with multiple Chasers going up against a singular contestant. Naturally, this attracts a lot of trivia buffs who want to lock horns with them.

Steve actually accepts the negative offer, and is chased down within five questions, much to the glee of his team. Future lower offers would be significantly higher. This can happen in the inverse as well: on at least one occasion a poor player made it back but the other two are knocked out. When the fourth contestant turns out to be excellent, the remaining player begged them to not go high and either stick or go low so they had some support. The fourth contestant instead goes for broke and inevitably gets caught, leaving the unskilled player on their own where they lose the Final Chase, meaning nobody won any money.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_8dc2b0f2	comment	Hard Mode Perks: The higher offer is higher for a reason. Questions are much harder, and many contestants trip up on these questions. And the Chaser is two steps behind you to start off. Contestants rarely survive the higher offer Personal Chase. The U.S. version took this up to eleven and added a rare SUPER Offer on a few occasions, which was usually at least double the high offer and could run to six figures. However, the player started out only one step ahead of the Chaser and needed seven correct answers to bank the money. Throughout the show's run, nobody accepted the challenge of the Super Offer. Beat the Chasers relies even more strongly on this trope. The more Chasers you decide to play against, the higher the offer goes, often topping out at 20-50 times the Cash Builder total if you take on five. Beginning with the fourth series, any contestant who gets all five Cash Builder questions right will receive an extra "Super Offer," allowing them to go up against all six Chasers with no time advantage and play for an even bigger prize.

In some cases, this can be advantageous: if a very good player got caught through bad luck, they can represent the team and can answer the questions as fast as they like. The Australian version of Beat the Chasers utilizes a tournament format: the 7 biggest winners of the first four episodes (dubbed the â€œheatsâ€�) are invited back on the Grand Finale to play another game against all four Chasers for even bigger (bonus) payouts. On the Grand Finale, each Cash Builder question is worth $5,000 and players must wager a portion of their heats winnings to add to their Cash Builder total to make the lowest cash offer. Then they are given that and two other big offers of time and money to face the four Chasers. A win adds the chosen offer to what they have had (before the wager), a loss deducts their wager.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Mark once declared a negative low offer to a contestant specifically to prevent them from betraying the team. The guy actually took it. His team immediately turned against him and Mark caught him in one of the few times where a contestant elimination on the show was positive.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_bad20f4e	comment	Whammy: The Chaser's low offer can be anything below what the player won in the previous round, including negative figures. (This also means that if the player won nothing, a rarity, a minus cash offer will definitely be the low option, even if there's nothing in the bank).note This has happened at least once, and in this scenario, the negative figure would be a cash penalty that would be applied to the final bank total prior to the Final Chase This is an unusual iteration of this trope, as the player can refuse it. Averted in the UK version: there, if the first contestant doesn't get a question right in the Cash Builder, no low offer is given in the head-to-head, since there's no money to take away yet. Averted on Beat the Chasers; the base offer (to face two Chasers) is always whatever amount the player won in the Cash Builder, and it grows with every additional Chaser. Unless they got the first question wrong...

The Chase (Game Show) / int_bc74ef27	comment	Berserk Button: The easiest way to drive the Chaser up the wall, during the Individual Chase rounds, is to get the correct answer after admitting that you have no idea what the answer is. Especially if it happens for all the rounds, and especially still if you're playing for the Top Offer. Cocky contestants are also liable to attract the Chaser's ire, whether they are actually knowledgeable or not. On a more serious note... poor sportsmanship. The Chasers are mainly hamming it up for the camera, but one of the few times Mark has honestly seemed genuinely angry at a contestant was when the contestant was pulling mocking faces during Mark's round of the final chase. When the team subsequently won, Mark sourly noted that they were good players, but lousy sports. Want to stay on Bradley's good side? Do NOT answer a head-to-head question before he has finished fully reading all of the answers. Some of the funniest examples can be found here.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_c3d60914	comment	Continuing is Painful: If all of the players are caught out by the Chaser, they still have a chance to take home some money in the Final Chase. However, only one person (chosen by the team) is allowed to answer the questions, and they only get a one-step head start rather than four/three (since it's one step for every person playing the Final Chase).note Or, before season 3, none at all in the American ABC version. On the British and American GSN versions, the money at stake is enough to give every team member the value of one Cash Builder question. From Season 3 of the American ABC version, it is two questions per person, or $60,000. On the Australian and ABC (Season 1) versions, the chaser names the prize, to be divided evenly among all the players.note This can be substantial; Ken Jennings offered $250,000 if a team's solo player could beat him. However, as noted by a couple chasers, sometimes they are better off this way as an earlier, stronger contestant who just had a stroke of bad luck in their personal chase is better than a later contestant who didn't do well in their cash builder and thus would fall apart in the final chase so that the team can go home with something. Sometimes invoked by the Chasers, if its within the last couple seconds and they can't answer a question knowing they can't recover from it, they will simply let time run out rather than waste time being wrong as they still have to stop the clock for the team to answer and possibly push back. Certain contestants will feel this after taking a substantial low offer only to romp home easily and deduct a lot of cash for no reason.

Previously, the show used pyrotechnics at the end of the Christmas Specials. However in the spin-off Beat the Chasers, this trope is played straight: confetti falls whenever a contestant defeats all five chasers and wins an especially high amount (normally Â£100,000), which is usually the highest amount won in that episode. In later seasons, winning at least Â£50,000 or Â£60,000 is enough to get confetti falling on you.

Throughout the US show's five-season run, no one accepted the "Super Offer". And even if they did go for it, they still needed to win the Final Chase or it was all for naught. Also the "Super Offers" in the UK Beat the Chasers from series 4 onwards (which only one person has dared to accept). Taking one of these means facing all six chasers with no time advantage for a massive cash prize. Highest Super Offer ever proposed was a whopping Â£500,000.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: Often happens when a player takes the low offer (especially if it's a negative amount, which sometimes leads to the other players rooting for the Chaser.). Especially if they previously encouraged everybody else to go high or have themselves earned a lot of money in their Cash Builder, proving they can do it. One example is a lady who took an offer of minus Â£11,000, after encouraging everyone else to go high all game. Note that sometimes, this can be inverted and the player may be encouraged to take the low or even negative offer out of desperation. This is generally acceptable if the extra body will give them another step ahead of the Chaser in the Final Chase, they can afford to take the low/negative offer, previous contestants have been eliminated and/or they aren't that good, although certain negative amounts can preclude even these.

The Chase (Game Show) / int_d9ee7048	comment	Spin-Off: The Beat the Chasers specials, which began airing April 2020. One contestant builds up a prize pot, then decides how many Chasers (from two to all fivenote or from Series 4, all six if they clear all 5 Cash Builder questions) to face at once in a timed showdown of alternating quick-fire questions. More Chasers equals more money, but also more time on their clock. The Beat the Chasers format was so successful that it began to expand internationally as a separate program later that year. The Australian version, the first to feature a tournament format, premiered in November 2020; versions of the program in six European countries have also been produced. The Dutch version, entitled Beat the Champions, would be the first international version of the program to air in a country that did not have a localized version of its parent show.
