Why did she not go for £100k?

A step closer to home but she would’ve cleared that £100k easy. Watch her win now.

Vincent Van Gogh Pronunciation

Hey Everyone, American viewer here who loves this show and has been posting pretty regularly here for the last year or so.

I haven’t asked this question yet though, but it came up again in another old clip I was watching.

Why do people pronounce Van Gogh as Van Goff when they’re on this show? Is that just how he is known in The UK?

I have heard English people say words spelled similarly and they don’t pronounce “ogh” or “ough” that way.

I have also heard people on the show say it how we say it in America and they said Van-Go. More often than not they add that “f” sound though.

I found a video on YouTube explaining that it is kind of like “ht” or “huh” sound in Dutch, but still not really an “f”:

https://youtu.be/73iOdFbxPCg?si=NzecmSafBoJ9Xb1d

Anyway, no hating lol. Love you guys, love the show, but just wanted to say I always get a chuckle out of this.

Ambiguous questions

I felt a bit sorry for the contestants who received a couple of sport-themed questions lately.

One was “Which winter sport do biathletes take part in?” The answer they were looking for was “biathlon” which is kind of a “Which city do Parisians live in?” question. The contestant said the same as me, skiing, presumably on the basis that skiing is a winter sport and shooting isn’t.

The other was “What is football better known as in the USA?” which had me saying “gridiron?” whereas they were looking for “soccer”. Given the enthusiasm for NFL in this country it would have been better phrased as “What is association football better known as in the USA?” (in my opinion).

Do you get tired of the usual repeated sayings on the show.

One of the things that I wish they'd cut is when the team loses and Bradley says we needed 20 plus amount and the chaser says something like not high, speedy enough etc. Plus it ends the show in a negative way which I dislike. I still enjoy the final chases even if they lose and I'd much prefer it if they quickly wrap up the show and just say thankyou for playing. Other repeated sayings include things like the Intro (It's a lengthy intro as well I'd say) Moving one step closer chaser put, (why not just stay silent as it happens?) Asking chaser what they think of offer contestant chose. (There's no need to ask the chaser) Also off topic but I also think it would be great if they gave the contestants a chase branded prize or a chase trophy. Would be a nice change to lighten up the mood when they lose.

Has there ever been a final chase where The Dark Destroyer answers the final question in that smug voice and he ends up getting it wrong? I'll elaborate.

So you know how on the final chase whenever The Dark Destroyer is the chaser, normally whenever he answers the final question before catching them, he'll say it in a smug exaggerated voice as if to say "I got you." Most of you will know what I'm on about..

What I wanna know is, has he ever done this, and the answer ends up wrong? I hope there is a time this happened it'll be so funny.

What part of the body is a beret worn ?? Hair ??!?!

Just thinking if that was a contestant answer, would he have allowed it? It didn't matter whatsoever, but I'm sure bald people wear berets too ? So surely hair is not correct in that regard?.

The Chase: World Tour is sorely missing VS Mode

Playing as the chaser/contestant was such a great feature in Ultimate Edition - and it could've been improved in this version by actually letting people play over the internet. It feels like a big feature that's missing from the game - and I'm sure there'd be a big demand for it.

I feel like this is Brad reacting to the next contestant suddenly turning out to be Giant from Gladiators, and instead of Beat the Chasers, it's a Duel platform.

Would a Chase video game work?

I don't mean the app, I mean a fully fledged console game.

It was a thought that popped into my mind. Licensed games don't seem to be much of a thing these days - they did a PlayStation 2 game for Millionaire about 20 years ago but not much since.

Interested to hear people's thoughts.
