Interesting data towards the bottom of that Google spreadsheet that confirms my suspicions of how Seven is scheduling the episodes.
I donāt like it at all and itās one of the reasons I find this and Hot Seat hard to get into (alongside the greedy one-hour run time) because the result seems so fixed by the network. Basically if you want to see the team win you only need to bother tuning in on a Monday or a Tuesday!
Monday - Chaser wins 43.26% of the time
Tuesday - Chaser wins 68.71% of the time
Wednesday - Chaser wins 91.49% of the time
Thursday - Chaser wins 99.31% of the time
Friday - repeats

Itās an open secret. When I went to a taping of Hot Seat a few years back, we were told that Nine always schedules the higher winners earlier in the week, as apparently more people watch the show compared to Thursday and Friday.

This may already have been answered along the way - is there a studio audience for this show ? Iāve never seen them, and not sure if itās canned or not.

Surprised that Matt has the best win rate of the permanent team, though he is my favourite.
I didnāt realise Shaun only did seven eps, and only four as of late Feb with Cheryl. Has she been on much since then?

Used to always watch the final chase before switching over to Nine News when I came home from work but havenāt bothered since Andrew OāKeefe behaved like a douchebag towards that photographer on the steps of the Downing Centre court earlier this month.
Same.
Production on Channel 7 quiz show The Chase has been suspended due to emotionally exhausted host Andrew OKeefe taking a sudden leave of absence to deal with a long-term health crisis.
The Chase will run repeat episodes next week.

I hope Andrew OāKeefe gets better quickly.
Probably wise to save new episodes until two weeks time, to air after the Easter non-ratings fortnight. Since they film episodes of The Chase in advance.

All of next weekās episodes were already scheduled as repeat episodes from 2 years ago - not sure why that was mentioned in the story.

New episodes return next Monday (April 29) after the Easter break. However, due to the Leadersā Debate between Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten, The Chase Australia will be shown in WA at the earlier time of 3pm, the timeslot for the UK version. The show returns to the normal 5pm timeslot on Tuesday in WA.

a celebrity version of The Chase? Nice. Surprising it has taken this long to film these specials.
The UK Version has had Celebrity specials for some time now (and some funny clips online too).

Havenāt they previously done some that didnāt rate that well?
A promo has just aired on Seven teasing several celebrity specials, including a Sunrise-themed one. Looks like there will be a live studio audience as well, like the celeb specials in the UK.
EARLY SPOILER: Looks like one of Sam or Nat WONāT make the Final Chase, from what I saw it was only Mark, Eddy and David.
