Viewers of the popular quiz show The Chase were left shocked and appalled after a contestant made the surprising decision to accept a £0 offer from Chaser Paul "Sinnerman" Sinha. The player, named Betty, opted for the lowest offer in an attempt to secure her place in the game.
Outrage on Social Media
Following Tuesday's episode of The Chase, fans took to Twitter to express their disbelief and outrage at Betty's decision. Many were quick to criticize her for choosing such a humiliating offer. One viewer exclaimed, "Zero is close to 2k, f***ing hell #TheChase." Another angrily wrote, "Can't believe she's gone with £0. The Chase, omfg if they win, don't give her any." The Chaser himself also faced backlash, with one fan stating, "Chasers who give £0 as a low offer are the f****ing worst #thechase."
The Chaser's Role
Some viewers placed the blame on Chaser Paul for encouraging Betty to take the low offer. However, others disagreed, suggesting that accepting £0 was the best course of action in that particular situation.
Betty's Decision
During the episode, Paul offered Betty £0 after she had earned £3,000 in the cash builder round. Her previous teammates had already taken a low offer and advised her to do the same. Ultimately, Betty decided to take the zero offer in order to return to her team. Host Bradley Walsh supported her choice, stating, "If all four of us get back, that's only £500 each difference [with the zero offer]. And we're a team… so I'm going to take the zero."
The Aftermath
Paul commended Betty for her decision and called it the sensible one. This incident has sparked a debate among fans about the different strategies players employ on the show. Paul has also recently addressed speculation that celebrities on the show's spin-offs receive preferential treatment.
The Chase airs on ITV weekdays at 5pm.
