Arrested Development Ugh GIF

Especially when theyre taking a minus

Especially when the minus is a huge amount/the prize pot isnt that large!!

Oh, I think it should be a capital offence. I went high 😊

worldshottestmom · 02/06/2026 18:06

Greedy bastards aren't they. I'd start booing from the panel if that was me. Though I do love it when they encourage them to take a higher amount, knowing they will lose.

MrsMitford3 · 02/06/2026 18:11

The second anyone (wanker) takes the low offer I am straight to twitter to enjoy the outrage.

Why go on the bloody show if you are going to be pathetic?

What I really enjoy is other contestants who have gone before the wanker and are openly furious with the low offer acceptance...

@TheEyesOfLucyJordon how much and did you win??? 👀

mumofoneAloneandwell · 02/06/2026 18:19

What made me laugh today was the low offer wanker who rushed in and answered

'Who released a book about gardens with Chelsea Clinton...' saying 'Alan Titchmarsh'

The guy who got a score of 10 looked like he wanted to burst out laughing

Theres a special place in hell for such people I reckon 😄

I always think there should be a vote from the panel as to whether they want to have them back or evict them from the team!

Yes!

And they should be able to hiss at the contestants even pondering it

Sometimes it's the right decision.

sometimes the player is more use in the end game than a little extra cash.

but mostly they're selfish wankers!

didn't see it today. I really like 'beat the chasers' more now!!

AmandaHoldensLips · 02/06/2026 19:11

Remember the low-offer bloke who Ann openly called a cowardly weasel of a man!

The guy today took -2000 from a 14000 pot

They won but no thanks to him 🤢🤢

I don't like it when they frame it as "it's only minus £2,000" or whatever the low offer is, ignoring the money they have to play for in the default position, if they got 6 questions right, there is no option to play for zero (only if you get no questions right at the start being the exception), at that point it's minus £8,000 not just minus £2,000.

It was actually Beat The Chasers (where you play as a single player against a number of Chasers). I took the highest offer of £100k and lost put by five seconds 😬🤦‍♀️

It was Beat The Chasers. I played The Vixen, The Beast, The Menace, The Sinnerman and the Super Nerd (Anne was off ill with Covid). The Dark Destroyer got to sit it out for my game 🙂

JustAnotherWhinger · 02/06/2026 22:37

It can work out though.

DH was on it, last player took the minus offer, but they then won the final chase with the chaser only needing one more and the guy who took the minus answered two sport questions DH and the woman didn’t know. They played for £1k each less because of his minus, but had he not got back (and he only just got back) they’d have won nothing.

AbzMoz · 02/06/2026 22:41

I can just about get on board with the tactics (while still screaming at the tv), but I do NOT understand the people who apparently dream of something costing a fair chunk, say £20k plus, and then they go for the low offer…
Who do they expect will fund the dream of theirs then?!

Henseleven · 02/06/2026 22:49

Low offer is fine. The minus offer people just need to fuck off. What’s the point in getting to the final? One extra rung on the ladder? But they’re as a thick as mince so it all evens out.

MrsMoastyToasty · 03/06/2026 18:34

The Head to Head part of the game in theory is the easiest part of the competition because you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting it right. The Cash Builder and The Final Chase depend on your individual or collective knowledge.

NearCanongate · 03/06/2026 21:51

I think it depends on the make up of the team. As in the case above - those two questions the person got right (plus the extra step for the third player) made the difference between winning and losing. And a third of something is better than half of nothing.

LittleJustice · 03/06/2026 21:55

You do get an extra point though don't you for each player that you take to the table. So even if they don't answer any questions they've effectively answered one by being there.

Having said that it's way more exciting when somebody goes for the high amount.

Me too, I love the low/minus offer ranting on Twitter.

Three times I've applied to go on and had 2 phone interviews, but not got past that stage so I take it as a personal insult when minus offer wankers, especially when they got loads wrong, get through to the final chase!

Merryoldgoat · 03/06/2026 22:19

I’m still annoyed I didn’t go high but we still
lost in final chase so immaterial.

It’s a very fun day out.

quackers7 · 03/06/2026 22:44

Sometimes it’s a tactical decision. The extra person can make the difference between a win or a lose even if they don’t answer anything. A minus offer of 10,000 from a massive pot (when one player has gone high and won) isn’t that big of a deal if it secures the win.

I didn’t see today’s but I guess if it’s from a smaller amount it’s different. I wouldn’t take a minus offer unless it was from a large amount but I’d be tempted if it was in the +++

Gosh I’ve thought about this too much…
