When I was traveling to Cork a lot last year for work, and staying in a hotel at the airport, I would find myself back in my hotel room early in the evening and turning on the TV to find something to help me relax. That’s when I discovered “The Chase”.
The Chase is the best quiz show on TV by far.
In the past I have enjoyed “Fifteen to One” and “The Weakest Link”. And I still enjoy watching “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” occasionally.
But I am addicted to The Chase.
The format is just perfect. The focus is very much on the questions. And the elimination element provides just the right level of jeopardy.
And Bradley Walsh is a great host. He has a great way with the contestants, and the chasers. And he’s very funny.
I think he’s related to my cousins. And I didn’t think I liked him before I became addicted to The Chase. But now I love him.
I even went so far as to check to see if I could be a contestant. But it’s limited to people who live in the UK unfortunately. And much as I would like to take part, I think moving to the UK is too high a price!
Here is a picture of Bradley and the chasers:
