The Chase Game Show Host Bradley Walsh Stops Show to Help Contestant ‘Rig the Game’

The Chase, a popular game show hosted by Bradley Walsh, took a surprising turn when Walsh halted the show to help a contestant ‘rig the game’. Penny, Phillip, Max, and Anya were the contestants facing off against The Vixen, Jenny Ryan, in Friday’s episode (January 26) of the show. Tensions rose when it was Max’s turn to play. Despite only winning £1,000 in his cash builder round, Max boldly decided to go for the high offer of £60,000.

Max’s decision shocked everyone, leading Walsh to interrupt the show and jokingly ‘rig the game’. He pulled Max aside, expressing his admiration for him and asking if he was sure about his choice. After some banter, Walsh returned Max to the table, whispering a humorous hint about the answers to the questions. This lightened the atmosphere, even earning a small smile from The Vixen.

Unfortunately, Max was caught by The Chaser in his cash builder round, leaving Phillip as the only remaining contestant for the final round. In a nerve-wracking final game, Phillip answered 18 questions correctly, but The Vixen caught up with 27 seconds to spare, concluding the game.

This incident highlighted the occasional mistakes that can occur while reading questions on the show. Walsh, who doesn’t see the questions before the contestants, has to ask them at a rapid pace. He explained that the pressure is high, and he needs to ensure the contestants reach a certain score to challenge the Chasers. Occasionally, misreads can happen, but the show’s lawyers promptly address them.

This episode of The Chase entertained audiences, showcasing the unpredictable nature of the game and Walsh’s wit. The show continues to be a popular choice for viewers, with occasional surprises that keep everyone engaged.
