The Chase Contestant Called Out by Paul Sinha for Saying 'Skip' Instead of 'Pass'

A contestant on Thursday's episode of The Chase was playfully reprimanded by professional quizzer Paul Sinha after she used the word 'skip' instead of the instructed 'pass' during her cash-builder round.

Host Bradley Walsh introduced the four contestants—Alan, Kathy, Genevieve, and Andy—before they faced 'The Sinnerman'. Alan started with an impressive £6,000 in his cash-builder and secured his place in the final. Kathy followed, adding £7,000 to the prize pot.

Genevieve struggled under pressure, managing only £2,000. Viewers noticed she repeatedly said 'skip' instead of 'pass', the correct term to move on to the next question. One X user wrote: 'Skip? WTF, it's pass you donugh', while another joked: 'On behalf of Lincolnshire I apologise for skip woman'.

When Sinha returned, he immediately quipped: 'Genevieve, welcome to the game. You never said pass once.' She nervously replied: 'I said skip a few times, didn't I?' Genevieve was eliminated after just five questions in the head-to-head.

Andy then banked £7,000 and joined Alan and Kathy in the final. The team answered 19 questions correctly in two minutes, beating Sinha and winning £20,000 to split between them.
