The Chase UK: 38 Correct Answers Across All Cashbuilders

Series 2 Episode 4

[@T6448_P2]

When £8,000 is the _lowest_ cashbuilder on the team, you know they’re *really* good! Just a shame we’re unlikely to see this total again any time soon, as £8k+ cashbuilders are becoming rarer and rarer…

[@qasimhussain1678]

Ikr and Gareth had a spectacular CashBuilder, was one of the best contestant’s in chase history and possibly could have beaten the chaser on his own.

[@T6448_P2]

@@qasimhussain1678 Well, it depends. If Gareth answered the same number of questions correctly as the team did collectively, then on his own, he would’ve been caught with 3 or 4 seconds remaining because of the way head-starts work in the final chase. This is why I’m not slamming any of the other 3 for going low - tactically, it makes perfect sense.

Ok fair enough, I see your logic, how do you think Gareth would have done against the other chaser’s (either on his own or with a team)?

I misunderstood the title when I first read it; I thought that it meant that one individual player got a cashbuilder of £38,000. So I immediately thought that the title was clickbait, since it wouldn't be possible for 1 person to correctly answer 38 questions in 60 seconds. However, I then realised that the £38,000 was from the 4 players combined. 😛

[@ninjapirate123]

yeah same

[@ritafriedman1600]

I wish they could keep the cash they’ve made like in Tipping Point. They hardly ever beat the Chaser 😢

[@scmtuk3662]

I've always wondered, what is the highest ever _potential_ jackpot in a single episode? That is the highest sum of all of the "high offers"?

[@bencalebrod]

The current record is probably in one of the recent episodes. More and more teams recently are so immovable in not going high the show has been making higher high offers than ever to try to tempt them. In the old days the standard cap for a team pot was £60,000, but nowadays it's common for the 4th player to get a six figure offer!

[@violin01]

Such a shame that everybody except for Gareth decided to chicken out and go low. Could have been playing for 38k instead of 19k :/

[@CritteRino]

Interesting to see how different the game is played in others countries. Germany also adopted this format but they only get 500 Euro per answer and you almost never see someone go down as they give so little money. Only giving them a reasonable amount if most of the team lost already. And in the final you usually see well below 10k total which they almost never win. Pretty cheap show for the channel xD

[@gameshowclips]

Gareth wasn’t a very nice contestant to be honest, the other three were actually making smart decisions because it’s all about getting as many players back in the final chase as possible. I mean, yes it could’ve been a £38,000 win, but £19,000 is still a lot of money, but I feel like Gareth could’ve been more supportive about their decisions.

[@T6448_P2]

⁠@@gameshowclipsI think you’ve hit the nail right on the head. Any money-whether it’s £1 or £200,000-is zero money until the final chase is won, if it’s even won in the first place. £19,000 would actually be considered an average team cashbuilder total by modern standards, so none of them really had anything to worry about as £4,750 each is still a good payout for an hour’s worth of work.
Still, it’s always interesting seeing different teams play _The Chase_ in different ways; whether that’d be all going low just to play the final chase, or all going high to maximise the pot. Every episode may be different, but at its core, it’s still a team game.

[@davidfearis7335]

@@gameshowclips GARETH had every right to complain to his team when they kept chickening out
This was Series 2 after all & it wasn't until the Celebrity Specials started being aired when they realized they needed the team more than the money
I stand by what I originally said when I first saw this episode in 2010, everyone except GARETH was A COWARD

[@violin01]

@@gameshowclips I understand where you're coming from but in my opinion, even though it's about getting as many people into the final chase, you'd also want to be playing for a decent amount too.
Thankfully this was only season 2 cause what if it was the later seasons, it would have been less than 19k cause lower offers for seats 3 and 4 could be minus offers.
I don't know how comparable this is but this situation was a less severe earlier clone of Darragh's episode because there weren't any minus offers.

Darraugh's team was WAY worse though, as seats 3 and 4 took minus offers, leeching on Darraugh's 9k and reducing the pot to just £1,575 per person.
