This ensures the show maintains its structure even in rare scenarios like this.
However, ITV viewers were left fuming as all four players were sent home, branding the episode a “disaster.”
Fans called for significant changes, claiming the show is “losing its appeal.”
Adding to the frustration, two contestants who opted for low offers were still caught by The Menace.
Alexander, 18, was chosen to represent the team with a chance to share £4,000.
However, the youngster struggled with several questions, failing to answer many correctly.
This made the final chase an easy win for the chaser.
Frustrated viewers threatened to boycott the show, with some vowing to switch off entirely.
Taking to X, one viewer write: “I do wish the producers of #thechase would chose more competent players. Make it better TV.”
Another added: “Oh dear, everybody out. What a disaster of an episode. A very poor team tonight. #TheChase.”
A third penned: “#thechase this is absolutely painful viewing, can’t believe I’m saying this but it may be time to switch back to Pointless.”
A fourth commented: “Ffs – another low offer …. This show is going downhill fast.. the producers need to sort it out & fast … it’s losing its appeal … #TheChase.”
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
