On a recent episode of The Chase, viewers witnessed a rollercoaster of emotions as contestants battled it out against the formidable Chaser, Paul Sinha. The episode, which aired on May 22, saw host Bradley Walsh welcoming four new contestants – Dave, Sophie, Adam, and Liz – to the iconic quiz show. As the contestants faced a series of challenging general knowledge questions, it was clear that Paul, also known as The Sinnerman, was in top form and ready to put their skills to the test.
Dave kicked off the competition with an impressive performance, racking up £7,000 in his cash-builder round. The West Midlands native remained cool under pressure as he went head-to-head with Paul, securing his spot in the final chase. However, Dave’s success was not mirrored by his teammates. Sophie and Adam both fell short in their rounds, with Sophie earning £4,000 and Adam managing £3,000 before being caught out by the Chaser. Despite some missteps, Liz managed to match Dave’s impressive £7,000 total, setting the stage for an exciting final chase.
In a surprising turn of events, Paul decided to offer Liz and Dave a slight advantage before the final chase, acknowledging their strong performances in the cash-builder round. With a target of 19 questions to beat, the duo faced a challenging yet achievable task. However, when it came down to the wire, Liz and Dave struggled to maintain their momentum, ultimately falling short in the final chase. Paul’s quick wit and expert knowledge proved too much for the team of two, as he caught them with just 10 seconds to spare. Despite the outcome, the episode showcased the nail-biting excitement and fierce competition that fans have come to expect from The Chase.
