The Chase viewers and host Bradley Walsh have been left shocked after a contestant managed a first for the show with a “pass” answer.
Bradley Walsh called the contestant a “jammy so and so” as the contestant managed to do something which has never been done in the 14-year history of the show.
The Chase contestant’s ‘pass’ happened to be the answer
Fintan, a musician, from Northumberland, shocked Bradley Walsh and viewers of The Chase as he answered “pass” to a question, but pass happened to be the right answer. During one contestant’s cash builder, Bradley asked: “In computer security, what word can before ‘code’, ‘phrase’ and ‘word’.” The contestant, named Fintan, was unsure and told Bradley “pass”.
You jammy so-and-so! You’re absolutely correct.
But the contestant was confused when Bradley replied: “Correct!” before moving on to the new question. After the cash builder, Bradley told the contestant: “It’s happened! It’s actually happened! The word pass is an answer. You jammy so-and-so! You’re absolutely correct.” Fintan managed to build up £5,000 in his cash builder, with a big thanks to his “pass” answer.
‘We’ve waited years for that!’
Viewers of The Chase were ecstatic as pass was finally a correct answer for the first time in the history of the show. One person wrote: “Pass is correct. We’ve waited years for that!” A second person added: “‘Pass’ being the actual answer there is superb question setting by the show.” Another viewer joked: “That was the best answer ever in The Chase history.”
OH… MY… GOD.

A fourth person also joked: “Pass… literally the best answer ever given in any quiz show ever.” A fifth fan said: “‘Pass’ was an actual answer. Well… that doesn’t happen often!”
Although the team failed to beat the Chaser in the end, Fintan’s answer will surely go down in The Chase’s history.
