People were seriously angered over this!
Last updated 21st Mar 2017
Every once in a while TV quiz show The Chase sends it's viewers into absolute meltdown on social media and that's exactly what's happened again.
On last night's episode, the team made up of Georgia, Carol, Michael and Darragh gave an exceptional performance to win £6,300 in the final round.
Of course as fans of The Chase know, taking the lower offer is not a good move unless you want to receive a ton of online abuse by angry fans.
If your a regular watcher of the quiz show you'll be thinking that jackpot figure seems low, well that's because three out of the four finalists decided to take lower offers in their knockout rounds.
And that's exactly what happened. After quiz maestro Darragh gave an impressive performance and won £9,000 for the kitty, things looked up for the team.
That was until Carol opted to take -£1000, Michael decided to take £300 and Georgia went for the -£3000.
Despite all three of them getting back to the final round, not surprisingly it was Darragh who answered most of the questions correctly, leading to a contestant victory.
So after Darragh left with only £1575 after being forced to split it with his teammates, Twitter went into complete meltdown with some even branding it 'daylight robbery'.
Some even got the hashtag #justicefordarragh trending.
At one point, The Chase was even trending on Twitter above Article 50!
And maybe the most surprising thing about it, somebody actually set up a Go Fund Me page for poor old Darragh.
Titled 'Get Darragh his £9,000 that he lost', the page reads, 'We need to get Darragh his £9,000 which was lost on the Chase. Watch the Chase with Darragh in if you want to know any more about his situation. His name is Darragh Ennis and on behalf of his request, this money will be sent to the Helen and Douglas House Charity which is a wonderful charity who care for young children to young adults with life shortening illnesses'.
The Go Fund Me page is currently at £50 of its £9000 target.
Brilliant! 😂
The Chase continues weekdays, but we doubt another episode will cause this much drama for a while!
