We've just watched the US version of the Chase, that started with series one today; I'm aware that it has already run three seasons in the US.
The show was absolutely awful and a shocking adaptation of the UK original. Mark Labett should be ashamed for demeaning himself by appearing on that. The whole theme was completely over the top, with the contestants so bad I'd have preferred to have my teeth pulled than continue watching it.
One of the contestants allegedly had a PhD in maths, and felt the need to remind Mark Labett at one point; he clearly had self esteem issues. He performed a little dance to indicate how he, as an alleged maths "professor", teaches his students how to remember the "quadratic formula." I was left wondering what university requires such a "professor" to teach their students to remember such an elementary formula. Where did he purchase his PhD?
I can honestly say that it was probably the worst gameshow I have ever seen, and I will not watch it again; I cannot get that time back.
