The Chase viewers have mixed feelings about the new ITV spin-off, The Chase Around the World. While some fans are excited about the new series, others are criticizing it for deviating from the rapid-fire question format that makes the original show so popular. The new show features a global quiz adventure, hosted by Bradley Walsh, where contestants travel to international cities to answer questions and complete challenges. The twist? The more you know, the further you go. The first episode saw six pairs of contestants navigate Rome, answering questions set by Chasers Mark Labbett and Anne Hegerty. The show's format, however, has been a point of contention. Some viewers feel that the show is too slow, with too much time in between questions, making it less engaging than the original series. Others argue that the rapid-fire question format of the original show is what makes it so popular, and that the new show lacks the same level of excitement and challenge. Despite the criticism, some fans are still excited about the new series, and are looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. The show is available to stream on ITVX, and viewers can expect more episodes in the coming weeks. As the series progresses, it will be interesting to see if the show can find a balance between the new format and the expectations of the original fans. The success of the spin-off will depend on whether it can capture the same level of excitement and challenge as the original show, while also offering something new and exciting for viewers. Only time will tell if The Chase Around the World will become a hit in its own right, or if it will be remembered as a missed opportunity for the beloved original show.
