I agree Aces. I saw a few minor slips that cost the catch for Sinha: 1. Pass on mule a half second earlier 2. Saying "eyebrows" a second earlier 3. Pausing a half second less before "triangular". This saved time would have nullified by the extra time needed to say "Adidus Domenai", but the extra second at the end would have been used, leading to a buzzer beater. Let's say the team gets "oxygen" right. That would have been nullified by the pushback leading to 29 scored with 3.5 seconds left. Suppose they get the pushback by saying "20th century" instead of "19th century". This leads to a catch on the buzzer.
What a team. Sweet-looking older guy, smiling maid, older lady with a mind faster than lightning and a guy who looks like the sharpest bouncer in the West. And Paul absolutely smashing it too. Amazing game.
They all did such a great job to get up to 28k, but Marilyn (who was also the biggest contributor to the pot) really put the team on her back for this one. Not only did she dominate in general, but that "Eleanor of Aquitaine" answer was the difference between winning and losing.
30 correct, 2 pass, 3 wrong with a speed of 17.5: this is Paul's fastest chase and the third fastest overall. Much like the other 28-step game, the team got three pushbacks (barely enough)!
In Season 9, Paul was set a target of 26 steps and he mentioned this episode where a team scored 28 and he was able to get to 27, which gave him the belief that he could chase down that target. He got demolished!! Only reached 13 and the team of three he was up against executed 6 push backs from 8 attempts. Just wasn't his day either time.
This chase. A masterpiece. Honestly. Simply amazing. But basilic vein (which I believe is in the arm) or even Anno Domini would’ve caught them. Paul was so close to chasing down 28, even with the mistakes. How he caught up that time, an enigma. But that team - Marilyn especially - wowzers. I could not have gotten Eleanor of Aquitane at that speed, I had to pause it there to think of the answer. Amazing performance, job well done, only Angela in the other 28 step chase ever did better than that. But chlorophyll vs oxygen was free. On the other hand, “Best performance by a Marilyn since ‘Some Like it Hot’”. One-liner if there ever was one. And “They’re never gonna get Eleanor of Aquitane…a dagger went through my heart,” lmao. One day I gotta get on the chase (and lose awfully).
@@nzdefrag yes, but the contestants had three advantages over the chaser. Firstly there were four of them against one chaser. Secondly, they had a head start of four steps. Thirdly, the contestants can push the chaser back, but the chaser can't push the contestants back.
@@bigredsock1They’re also not complete human encyclopaedias. They’re supposed to be challenging the chasers brain, not Bradley’s 265mph speed per question and all the other advantages of the chaser. Also they’re is 2 sets of questions, and you will find a lot of the questions in each set are on similar subjects and have similar answers.
@@henrymanley4116 It makes a difference; because if Paul Sinha saved any of those seconds where he paused - or if he just said "a bird" instead of "it's a bird", then he would have caught them.
Both Mark and Paul nearly missed that final question on 28 steps from the team, Shawn also almost got to 27, Anne has a record of catching at 26 (different from Mark since she had a few pushbacks), Jenny caught a team at her highest record of 24, and I think Darragh is still undefeated (if so, his time will come, if not, it was only inevitable), but his highest is only at 20.
I’ll tell you what I was back there thinking they will never get back in the racquet and then this dagger went into my heart that was the finest performance by Marilyn some like it hot
Too close:- to lose a chase on 28 steps would have been a bitter pill to swallow for the team:- hard to deny that the questions were Paul's though. I believe that unless a team can rack up a total of 30 steps, (not sure it's been done), there is no comfortable guarantee you have got it in the bag, as this clip shows. It all comes down to the chasers on the day, some rubbish teams win and some superb performances still lose.
@@shadowmoasic3524 Actually no. Itai Hermann scored 26 that time. I think you were talking about a time where 2 people were playing for 65000 shekels with a score of 29 and got caught with 10 seconds left on the clock. This just shows that Itai Hermann is smarter than any of the chasers here in the UK.
@Salmon He was probably trying to go all the way back to his days as a medical practitioner! Those pushbacks really are crucial. I think another second and he would have caught them.
@Sam He was a doctor. The answer was there somewhere in his brain, he was trying to dig it out, but his practitioner days are behind him so it was buried quite deep
"finest performance by Marilyn since Some Like It Hot" LOL, indeed it was. If only Paul had thought for a split second longer on the Anno Domini question.......
He let them win. He let them win. No offence to the team but he got a medicine question with ample time to give an answer and shirked and smiled and let them have it - watch it again if you need to. He chose grace and I admire that fact.
2:58 wouldn't the correct answer be eyes? (not eyebrows). Kohl is more commonly used for the eyes (as eyeliner) - it is sometimes used on the brows but not as common.
What mind boggles me is the fact that how it actually hasn’t been equaled like done again and if not gotten beaten by getting 30 or over , it could be faster by that I mean Bradley when he says correct or by pressing the buzzer imagine then and how quick they were id say 40 45 considering how clever they were
Funny thing is 2 people have got up to 28 steps on the chase which is basically 26 question answered right so why can’t a full house get 26 questions right cause considering that it’s take up to 30 steps which’d be satisfying
i still think the other 28-step game was better, they did it with 2 people. if they had four people it would've been 30+ steps then again paul did perform better than mark
He was even gifted with the one where he answered Firth and than he changed to Peter Firth. Should be his first answer, not change it to the full name.
if he knew that the basilic vein was in the arm without even thinking about it, he would have caught the team with a split second, and the team would be very disappointed. It was just based on luck.
Marilyn got 2 questions wrong if those 2 were right they would’ve and could’ve got 30 steps so it should actually be 30 steps and not only that a team of 2 have got 26 question right which basically took them into the same score as this and do youknow another funny thing if those 2 questions were right that’d mean that they would’ve got 26 right too which would’ve took them up to 30 shame 😔😔😔😔
3:18 Unfair. The chaser didn't deserve to be pushed back on anno Domini. He gave a correct answer. He should have been offered a chance to give the full answer, even if you don't accept an abbreviation as a phrase (you should),
The team needs people to be in the final so they can have more chances of winning however the money would get split and if it was a solo then you'll ha else's chances of winning and if they win then they won't have to share it with any of the team
@@thisismarcjohnson Let me correct myself. He said "it's a bird" & "it's . . ." on the last question. He also had a few times where he slowed down, of which one of those was avoidable with more focus. Had the Sinner Man: 1. Not said one of those "it is a"|'s 2. went through with his answer for the last question through the buzzer (he said "it" before the clock hit zero, though fatigue would have forced a judges decision on whether that one-third of one second pause nulled an otherwise valid buzzer beater); or 3. Paused for a second and a quarter for one less time than he did . . . the team then would have been caught. The Sinner Man also lost a full second by not stating the proper first name on the "Peter Perth" question in his first response. He also said "AD." not paying attention to the question. Both the team and the chaser made a century counting mistake for something done in 1900. This is a forgivable error. Nevertheless, the Sinner Man lost out on plenty of chances to save that last 1.5 seconds he needed to catch. I am real stickler for details . . . You have to REALLY EARN a victory to impress me. It may have been the chaser's best Final Chase, but it was not the best game play he could have brought. I also think that he did an intentional pass.
I found what happened Windsor . . . Not fixed. There was a review on the last response off camera that was cut for time. The answer came 1/50 of a second too late.
