One of the players on The Chase left viewers furious with his decision last night, after he took a hit at the prize money accumulated by his teammates.
The uproar over the contestant’s “embarrassing” behaviour comes after complaints about “easy” questions on the ITV quiz show.
Although the player in question, Qahir, was able to make it to the Final Chase, he came under fire for accepting the Chaser’s low offer.

The Chase player takes a low offer
Taking a low offer on The Chase isn’t always frowned upon. It is a strategy players use to increase their chances of making it back for the Final Chase.
The last episode (February 19) saw the Chaser give Qahir an upper offer of £69,000 and a lower offer of -£1,000. He had collected £5,000 in the cash builder.
It would be a waste of my time if you don’t go through now.
His teammates – Katy, Liam and Anne – advised him against taking the Chaser’s offer and sticking with the money he had. However, Qahir chose the low offer.
He went up against Darragh Ennis aka The Menace. Despite self-doubt, Qahir made it to the Final Chase.
Qahir’s game also prompted the host, Bradley Walsh, to issue a warning before the final question. He said: “You’ve gone for minus one. It would be a waste of my time if you don’t go through now, I have to be honest.”
