00:00The stage is set. These four strangers have one common enemy, the chaser.
00:05They've only just met, but they'll have to combine their skills to survive.
00:09Will that be enough, or will they need the spark of firepower to ignite their game?
00:13Let's find out. The chase is on.
00:23Hello there, welcome to The Chase Australia, everybody.
00:26So, who are these four courageous contenders taking on tonight's chaser?
00:29Let's meet them.
00:30G'day, my name is Ben, and I'm here because my fiancé applied for me.
00:34Hi, I'm Kerry, and if Mara's not our chaser today, my toddler's going to be in tears.
00:39Hey, I'm Josh, I love collecting coins, and I'm ready to take some off the chaser.
00:44Hi, I'm Mia, I'm an F1 fanatic, and tonight I'm going to be in pole position.
00:49OK, that's my team, but there's one person they need to outrun, that's the chaser.
00:54If they get caught, the money is gone, so are they.
00:56But if they make it through, they could share in a huge cash prize.
00:59Now, everyone must face the chaser, and tonight Ben is first.
01:06Hiya, Ben.
01:07Good, thank you, how are you?
01:08Rare contestant busting to be first tonight.
01:10Yeah, I just want to get this over and done with, because otherwise I'm going to sit there,
01:13I'm an overthinker, so I'm just going to overthink everything, everything's going to fall apart,
01:17so let's, I'd just like to get it, get it going.
01:20Mia, don't worry, not everything's going to fall apart.
01:23Get that thought out of your head.
01:25My bad.
01:26Ben, did you apply to come on the show?
01:27No, my fiancee applied for me.
01:30You know, we love watching game shows, but I never thought that I'd ever do something like this,
01:34and she thought, you know what, we'll go for it, and here we are, so ready to run.
01:39What's your fiancee's name?
01:40Vestal.
01:41And does she have great confidence in what you can do here today? Obviously.
01:43She, yeah, she says she does, but like, deep down I know she's like,
01:47yeah, he's not probably going to do that well, but I believe in him anyway.
01:51Yeah.
01:52Okay, now what would you like to do, Ben, with some money?
01:55Well, I'm getting married next September, so it'll definitely pretty much be going all towards that.
02:00Yeah, I'd say so.
02:01Good man, you're a good fiancee.
02:03Yeah.
02:03That's exactly what your fiancee would be here.
02:05Alright, one minute on the clock, $2,000 for every correct answer.

03:18Sweet. Look at that.
03:18Very well done.
03:19You've got to get it past the chase so you know how this works, right?
03:21Yes, yes.
03:22We'll see who that is right after the break.
03:23Perfect.
03:23Good stuff.
03:24Nice.
03:25Strong start.

03:38$12,000 fiancée will be very happy she's done the right thing pushing you in here.
03:42Yeah, she'll be pretty stoked with that.
03:43I think she was thinking I was probably going to get like at least four.
03:46So, you know.
03:46Look at you showing off.
03:47We'll triple that.
03:48Look at you showing off with all that smart stuff in your head.
03:50Now, favourite chaser?
03:53Probably the super nerd.
03:54Only because it seems like sometimes, don't get me wrong, he's a genius, right?
03:57They have to be.
03:58But sometimes it seems like he can get a little bit flustered.
04:00So, let's hope he's off his game today.
04:02Yeah.
04:03That's what I'm hoping.
04:04Yeah.
04:04Don't get me wrong.

04:07Let's start around a bit.
04:08Mia, who would you like to see come out now?
04:10The governess.
04:11Why?
04:11That's my English queen.
04:12I love her.
04:13Oh, that's the one.
04:13What about you, Josh?
04:14I'm the smiling assassin.
04:16Similar to Ben, I think she slips up a little bit.
04:18Hey.
04:19Kerry, what about you?
04:21I have to say Mara, also.
04:23I have a two and a half year old at home that has just got a quiet little crush on
04:27her,
04:28I would say.
04:28So, he needs to see Mara on the screen.
04:31OK.
04:31So, who will we be facing tonight?
04:33The smiling assassin.
04:34She's got no off switch, no slow setting and definitely no time for my jokes.
04:40The governess.
04:41A viewer said she was too serious.
04:42She laughed once in 1994.
04:45Goliath.
04:46He'll let you talk yourself into the ground while he just kind of stands there.
04:50A super nerd.
04:50He's Brisbane's biggest brain and probably their dungeon master too.
04:54Oshak.
04:55He's the best looking of all the chasers and the only one who writes his own intros right
04:59there.
04:59OK.
05:00You're ready to go, I know.
05:01I'm ready to go.
05:01Release the chaser.
05:05Hey, hey.
05:06Here comes the smiling assassin.
05:15Hi, Ben.
05:16Hi.
05:16How are you going?
05:17Good, thanks.
05:18And look, I know you're not an over-thinker and I don't want to psych you out, but why
05:22did your fiancé sign you up for this?
05:25Something for you to ponder.
05:26Yeah.
05:26For the next few questions.
05:28Well, you're pretty popular back with the team, so I mean...
05:30Always nice to meet my fan.
05:33I feel like you're looking straight past Ben at this point.
05:36Hi, Mara.
05:36Lovely to see you.
05:37Hello.
05:38Here's your money on the board right now.
05:40Awesome.
05:40At $12,000.
05:41Happy toddler at home, Kerry, for sure.
05:44Here's your low offer.
05:45$1,000.
05:46Top offer now?
05:47$40,000.
05:49Wow.
05:50Wow.
05:51The $40,000 is...
05:52With some of the quotes I've gotten for the wedding, $40,000 sounds really, really enticing.
05:56Yeah.
05:57But I think, as long as the team's happy, I'm probably just going to go with the $12,000.
06:00You know, it's a pretty decent bring back.
06:02So, we'll get rid of the $1,000, we'll get rid of the $40,000, we'll go with the $12
06:05,000.
06:05Yeah, I'll MC your wedding for $12,000.
06:06I think I just took your line.
06:06I'll MC your wedding for $12,000.
06:08Yeah, of course.
06:09Lose the...
06:09Yes, you did take my line.
06:10Sorry, sorry about that.
06:11Lose the $1,000, lose the $40,000.
06:12And as Ben said, for $12,000, look into that camera and say, the chase is on.
06:17Just say, the chase is on.
06:18Which one?
06:19The chase is on.
06:20That'll do.
06:23It was so close.
06:24As Ben was trying to say, for $12,000, the chase is on.
06:31Here we go, mate. Best of luck.
06:32First question.

06:51Do you remember anything about this?
06:53No idea.
06:53Absolutely no idea.
06:54But just, like, classic Australian kangaroo.
06:59We just went with that.
07:00Classic.
07:01Locked in A. Kangaroo.

07:21C. Hopalong Cassidy.
07:30You know all their names.
07:31Which one was not real?
07:33I just went with B.
07:35I think I'm just going to go into cascading order if I don't know the answer, so B was next
07:40in line.
07:40Let's see if that system works.
07:41Let's see if it works.
07:42Davy Crockett locked in.
07:43Correct answer is...
07:46Hopalong Cassidy.
07:48Chase locked in.
07:51Hopalong Cassidy.
07:52Davy Crockett's the one who has, like, the little raccoon hat with the tail out of it.
07:56I think he died at the Alamo.
07:57Oh, okay.
07:58Next one.
07:59Next one.

08:13B. Fiscal drag.
08:15C. False economy.
08:21Yeah, where'd you go here?
08:23I went with A. My dad's going to hate me.
08:26This is his forte with his job, so I really hope I get this right.
08:32That's really tough that your dad's going to hate you.
08:34Oh, yeah.
08:34Am I going to be okay, though?
08:36Yeah, I hope so.
08:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:37Yeah, no, he's a nice guy.
08:38He's a good guy.
08:39It'll be a first.
08:40Locked in commodity cycle.
08:42Correct answer is...
08:45False economy.
08:46Mara went quickly on this.
08:47Chase are locked in.
08:52Now, Mara's right down on top of that $12,000, so we've got to move.
08:55Yep.
08:55And continue to move.
08:56Here's your next question.
09:00What term commonly denotes a type of watch with a battery that is powered by the wearer's
09:05movements?
09:05A. Vortex.
09:07B. Flux.
09:09C. Kinetic.
09:12Got this?
09:13Yeah, yeah.
09:14Again, weirdly enough, my dad loves watches, and that's pretty much all I've got for you.
09:20What's your dad's name?
09:21David.
09:21David, he's playing a major role in this game.
09:23Good.
09:24So you've locked in what?
09:25Kinetic.
09:26C.
09:26Because David loves his watches.
09:28Because David loves his watches.
09:30Correct answer is...

09:50A. Life.
09:51B. Mystery.
09:53C. Resilience.
09:59Life just feels like it makes the most sense out of all those answers, so I went with A.

10:05Life just seems to make the most sense.
10:07Yes, yes, yes, yes.
10:08Locked in.

11:08The Astoria.
11:10C.
11:11The Belgravia.
11:16I see this all the time pop up, but I've never watched it, so I just had a guess and
11:20I went with B.
11:20Alright.
11:21So because you're a fantastic game show host and you did so well at the top, I'm going
11:24to get you to say the correct answer is...
11:26The correct answer is...
11:31Okay.
11:31I would have liked a little more drama from you, but...
11:33Sorry, sorry.
11:34No, it's okay.
11:34It's nerve-wracking.
11:35I know.
11:36It's okay.
11:38Now, if Mara has got the Arconia, she's got you right at the bottom of the board.
11:42Yeah.
11:43Alright?
11:43And we'd have to say goodbye.
11:46Chaser.
11:46Locked in.
11:50Mate, she got us with that one unfortunately.
11:52You nearly got away.
11:52Alright, nearly.
11:53Thanks for coming in.
11:54Good to see you.
11:54Good luck with the wedding, hey?
11:56You look like you knew that one.
11:57Yes, big fan of the show.
11:59So when it came up, it's nice when they're so close.
12:01You're just hoping that they'll get something wrong, so I was very pleased.
12:03Yeah.
12:03Alright, hey, Kerry is up next, here on The Chase.
12:08Okay.
12:10A little bit of pressure.
12:11That's all right.

12:35So I've got three under five at home, so I've got my hands full.

12:45We have our dinner and watch the chase.
12:47They have their favourites and they're very excited to see who the chase is going to be
12:51every afternoon.
12:51It doesn't sound like you've got a lot of spare time, but what do you do in your spare
12:54time?
12:55In my spare time, when I'm not looking after the little ones, I love to do a bit of baking
12:59at home and I do a bit of dancing on the side as well of an afternoon.
13:04What sort of dancing?
13:05Greek dancing, actually.
13:06I do Greek dancing.

13:14Close to 500.
13:15500?
13:16Close to 500, yeah.
13:17And I have to give my husband's side credit because the majority of them were from my
13:21husband's side.
13:22I had the smaller portion of the 500.
13:25All right.
13:26You ready to go?
