Big lad just cleaned up and won 67,000 going into final chase.

Paul thought a dog had delivered a litter of 101 pups.

I can't believe the chasers decide how much money to offer. I'd say they have an earpiece and are told what to offer the contestants. That doesn't mean they are told the answers to the question though.
I also don't believe Bradley's patter of "his team" and wanting them to win every time. We saw what he really thinks when he was set up by Ant and Dec. Plus the speed he sometimes goes at when the chaser is running out of time. One episode he went like the clappers at the end and the chaser caught them by a second. I rewound it and he went nowhere near that speed for the contestants. It was noticeably different.

Chasers have a screen I think which will show the amounts to offer...

Obviously the contestants don't get as many questions in as they need to buzz and name called.. chaser doesn't and that probably worth 15 seconds or so

The whole show is set up for the chasers. As you say no buzzing in and Bradley reads the questions out faster for the chaser. He knows they will take it in at that speed. Add to that a lot of the questions aren't really general knowledge but a chaser spends hours a day just boning up on stuff like history, geography, science etc. They're also people with very good memories. I'm surprised the chasers ever lose. My favourite is Shaun because he's the most vulnerable to losing. Plus he's funny and has good patter with Bradley.

Bradley definitely isn't with the team, his annoying comment I think your 2/3 light etc is hardly team building 🤔
 
The chasers all know the kings and queens of England and presidents of USA.

Usually have good knowledge of classic literature and geography

oh and you need to know that Mexican artist 👩‍🎨

Mexican artist (Frida Kahlo), surrealist (Dali), Pop Art (Warhol), the Dutch one is either Rembrandt, Van Gogh or Vermeer. Canadian rapper, Drake, Canadian singer Bieber (male) or Dion (female). Greek & Roman gods, Planets and their moons and the Periodic table will get you through most non proper general knowledge.
