Life isn’t the same as it was 18 months ago. Many people have seen their social life turned upside down, are suffering cabin fever and are struggling with their wellbeing. In that environment is it a surprise that things on the forum get heated sometimes?
I think it's
And a Sporting Disasters thread as well. The possibilities are endless.

Seat 4 taking -17k on the chase, even worse she got every question right and the chaser didnt!
In fairness the other two told her she could, they wanted 3 in the final chase more than they wanted the big pot.

And I think more are suffering than would like to admit it.

I'm sure they were both just being polite.
Their £47,000 was being reduced by £17,000 and then shared between three!
I'd never advise someone to go for such a huge minus offer. It'd feel like I was asking them to rob me.

But they did; in fact the woman that won the £40,000 advised both the contestants that followed her that she was happy to see them take the low offer.
Made perfect sense if I’m honest. With that much prize money in the pot surely the priority has to be bums on seats. Not many shows are won with two contestants, and a third share of £30k would still have been a good afternoon’s work.

genuinely dont see the point in risking your own place in the final to go high to then tell someone else to take almost half of it away by going low, so -EV its unreal

Sat in my armchair, no I couldn't; stood there with the two who have put the money in the pot giving me carte blanche to do so I might consider it, depending on the exact circumstances. I'd like to think I wouldn't but...
Don't get me wrong, I have no time for those who have contributed nothing to the pot going low to steal what the others have earned. But today's seat 4 had earned decent money & was urged by both of those though to take the low offer. I'd view those two circumstances entirely differently.
I think you have to set the money to one side and ask yourselves as a team, honestly, what gives you the best chance of beating the chaser. Surely beating the chaser is the priority, with any money won a by-product of doing that. The woman who took back £40k (note, she didn’t win £40k, because nobody wins a penny until the end of the show), very clearly understood that principle, or she would never in a month of Sundays have suggested taking -£17k.
Three have more chance of winning than two. That has to be the guiding factor, surely. If you don’t beat the chaser, you win zip.

It's a team game tho
I work (well worked as he has been promoted) with someone who beat the chaser .. they won a fair amount
When we saw it we basically saw that he beat the chaser (proper quiz buff) whilst the other person didnt answer many questions
He said he didn't mind it's a team game
Awful jumper tho bazza

Exactly this. I've said for ages that the outcome of this show is not in the gift of the contestants. It is with those running the show.
On the show you can get all the questions right, yet still lose.
No matter how big the pot, if the chaser answers the questions put to him, /her , you lose.?

An unvaccinated colleague is having to isolate until he gets his pcr test results back. A customer had an outbreak of covid this week while he was there so he’s had to drive home.
Silly silly boy and the rest of us will have to pick up his slack.

I always thought it was quite simple. Answer more questions to make more money. If the resident boffin answers more questions then you then you're screwed.
