This will probably get me to pick up GSN, if only for two months.

On the \"Game Show Confessions\" tumblr thing some parental basement dweller said \"It doesn\'t matter if you get Labbett or Rutter or whoever, just let me on and I\'ll beat him.\" I hope that guy got on the show.

I have never seen an episode of The Chase, and by all of your reviews it\'s good. Is there a good episode of the UK series that I should watch to see how this game plays out?

TLEberle · « **Reply #65 on:** June 19, 2013, 08:59:01 PM »

Yes; over 400 of them.

The first one that comes to mind is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7cwbh4hUN4\'>this episode from early 2011. It introduces you to a lot of the ways the format can go and why it can be so exciting.

The score of this team ranks pretty high on the average scale of Final Chase scores. The way the game ends is why I\'m looking forward to our version having a studio audience. I can imagine the reaction to a moment like that being even more heightened with real people instead of the ITV audience machine.

Yeah, if you\'re only going to watch one, this is the one.

So here\'s what I don\'t get: why does The Chaser care about what he\'s offering to the contestants?

So...he has no financial interest, he\'s just coming up with a number for funsies?

WAY not getting it.

It isn\'t funsies, but he\'s certainly playing the game with a different currency. If Mark offers $100,000 against $25,000 and $5,000; the contestant takes the big offer but gets caught out, then he\'s done his job, hasn\'t he?

There are two episodes of The Chase that should be saved for posterity; that\'s one of them.

Okay, so the only thing in it for him is that he gets rehired as Chaser if the show gets picked up because his offers are compelling and therefore make for good television?
