Chaser Shaun Wallace Under Fire: "Horrendous" Performance Sparks Axe Calls
28 Jan
Summary
- Viewers criticized Shaun Wallace's "horrendous" performance on The Chase.
- Fans called for a change in Chasers to keep the ITV show fresh.
- One contestant made television history by winning the exact amount needed.
Viewers of the ITV quiz show The Chase have voiced strong opinions online, with many calling for Chaser Shaun Wallace, known as "The Dark Destroyer," to be removed from the program. This sentiment arose after a recent episode where contestants Shenagh and Matthew faced Shaun and narrowly lost their £6,000 prize with only 15 seconds remaining.
Online reactions frequently described Shaun's performance as "absolutely horrendous" and "really bad." Some fans suggested it was "about time" for the Chasers to be changed to keep the show "fresh," with Shaun being the suggested first to go. This criticism was contrasted with other Chasers' performances, with one viewer noting Jenny achieved 12 correct answers with a minute to spare.
In separate instances, The Chase has seen other controversial moments. Previously, viewers questioned host Bradley Walsh over perceived "making rules up" during a game where Mark "The Beast" Labbett caught contestants with one second remaining. Mark later clarified that an adjudicator, not Bradley, made the call regarding an incorrect answer.
Additionally, a contestant named Amanda made "television history" in a prior episode. She had aimed to win £800 to buy her son specific trainers and managed to secure exactly that amount, advancing to the Final Chase. Host Bradley Walsh highlighted this as an extraordinary and possibly first-time occurrence in the show's 15-year run.
