I suppose thats a bummer, but It will still be interesting to see how the game is played

Simple solution - don't buy TV Choice.

(EPGs tend to be quite reasonable these days - no real need for a TV magazine at all).

They say "what goes around comes around"
have just remembered
Last year on the Silent witness thread on here, someone said about a character being killed, I found out he was not and posted this, did not think
Talk about Karma?

If karma comes in many disguises, is it Karma Chameleon?

My problem with this sometimes entertaining quiz is a lingering feeling, that I can't quite shake off, that the chaser knows some of the questions in advance. How can I be convinced otherwise?

You probably can't, but this from someone who states they are a former contestant might help:

As a former contestant on The Chase i am as confident as it is possible to be that there is NO fix.

ITV employ independent adjudicators from a company called "Beyond Dispute" and their staff are on hand throughout the recording.

As previously stated they prepare two sets of questions and one of the team pick which set to use.

Additionally (and i have been contacted by ITV for this) they test out the questions they are looking to use in future programmes.

They asked me 40 questions over the phone. They told me that Beyond Dispute had said that as I had done well on the Cash Builder ( I got £12K) they expected me to get about 80% right - I actually got 34 so slightly more than 80%. They said they were testing out the difficulty level of the questions against good performers, average performers and poor performers from pervious series, and the adjudicators had indicated what kind of scores from the testers should be expected.

Beyond Dispute are a highly respectable and reputable company, and I cannot for one second imagine them colluding with ITV to fix the results.

It is true that they do not broadcast the shows in the order they are recorded. "My" programme was recorded as programme number 43 in the series but went out as number 22.

Don't forget that The Chasers are there for a reason - they are very very clever!
