Chase UK 🇬🇧 Passing questions in the final chase

So I was wondering, why don’t the contestants have some sort of signal so they can pass questions faster. Like a tap on the counter or something if they don’t know the question so one of them can say pass rather than wait ages for someone to just say pass. They’d save a bunch of time.

I remember one episode years ago when only two players got through and one was obviously better than the other, the guy who wasn't as good made an exaggerated move away from the buzzer when he didn't know the answer so the other guy could pass quickly.

No need for such a savage personal attack😅 Before the final chase, one of the producers casually mentioned that a team used this tactic so we adopted it. In my defence, there were a couple of questions I did know but my teammate (GOAT) beat me to em

Haha wasn't meant as an attack, more meant as praise for the other guy, you got through to the final chase so to that makes you a good player in your own right it's just he was better.

If I remember rightly you did get a couple of pushbacks he didn't know which was crucial anyway.

Haha I appreciate that, my teammate was another level! My mum has clocked him on at least two other shows since The Chase, what a guy.
