00:00Four strangers, one mission, beat the chaser.
00:03But when a game-changing cash-for-steps deal lands on the table,
00:07will it supercharge their final chase or derail it?
00:10Chase is on.
00:19Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Chase Australia.
00:22So who are these four confident contestants taking on tonight's chaser?
00:25Let's meet them.
00:26Hi, I'm Clay, and when I'm not spinning decks, I'm writing books.
00:30G'day, I'm Jeremy, and I'm training for a 250-kilometre walk.
00:33I'm Amanda. I enjoy fishing.
00:35So let's cast out some answers and see what bites.
00:39I'm Lynne, and from living in Kenya to walking the Larapinta Trail,
00:43I am ready for my next challenge.
00:46OK, so that is my team, but hot on the heels is the chaser.
00:49Now, if they get caught, the money is gone, and so are they.
00:52But if they make it through, they could share in a huge cash prize.
00:56Now, everyone must face the chaser, and tonight, Clay is first up.
01:03Hiya, Clay. Oh, yeah, this is happening.
01:04G'day, Larry.
01:05Hey, you owned a bookstore for a while, right?
01:07I did, yeah. I did own a bookstore cafe, actually.
01:09Do you have to read a lot of books when you own a bookstore?
01:12That's the idea, I think, but then I think when you start business,
01:15as everyone knows, you don't actually get to sit down and read anything.
01:17Was it your love of books that got you into that,
01:19or were you just looking for something else?
01:20No, absolutely. It was love of books and writing, and they got there, yeah.
01:23Okay. You did some studies at Oxford, right?
01:25I did, yeah, yeah. I studied writing at Oxford, yeah.
01:27Okay. And did you then go on to write some books?
01:30I did, yeah. So I've got a young adult novel.
01:33It's called 100 Remarkable Feats of Xander Mays.
01:35And then we've got a series, a kid series, called The Marvellous Submarine.
01:39And there's a new one coming out called Gimme Space.
01:41You didn't come on here to play the chaser.
01:43You came on to plug your books.
01:44Just to spreex some books.
01:45Yeah, you really did.
01:46Because you got nominated for an award as well, right?
01:48I did, yeah. I got nominated for the PM Award for Literature like a few years ago.
01:53Fortunately, I didn't win because that was a big prize,
01:55but I did get a free salmon, so that was good.
01:57Like live or in a packet?
01:59It was cooked, yeah.
02:01I think, yeah.
02:02Wow, that's a lot of work for something you could have got at Coles.
02:04I know, right.
02:05Yeah, yeah. There we go.
02:06What do you want to do with some money, Clay, if you win?
02:08Well, I've always wanted to go to Burning Man, Larry,
02:09so I thought that'd be fun, but I've never actually gotten over there yet,
02:12so I think that could be number one on my list
02:15and do some travel around the States at the same time.
02:16Nice. One minute on the clock, $2,000 for everything.

04:01Oh, I don't think he'd get in.
04:02They've got that thing at the front.
04:04If you're smaller than me, you can't.
04:05Yeah.
04:05All right.

04:27Or the super nerd.
04:28His favourite civilisation in history were the ancient geeks.
04:32Ready to go?
04:33Ready.
04:34Release the chaser.
04:39Here comes Goliath.
04:47Hello, Clay.
04:48G'day, Goliath.
04:49Well, you're a busy man, aren't you?
04:51Besides being an author, you say you're also a DJ.
04:53So you're either pumping out the hits at 120 beats per minute or pumping out the novels at 120 words
04:58per minute.
04:59Hopefully one day you'll write a book we can all dance to.
05:02It sounds good.
05:03You can tell he's a young adult author, because in his world the drivers celebrate with Sprite.
05:08Yeah, that's right.
05:09That's right.
05:10Matt, nice to see you.
05:11Here is your money on the board right now.
05:13Five steps from home.
05:14$12,000 low offer.
05:16Look, I don't think we need to talk about this much, so I'll just say $1,000.
05:20All right, here's your top offer now.
05:21Yeah.
05:22I think you should maybe consider this quite seriously, because I feel like your intuition is really tuned in today.
05:28So $30,000 is your top offer.
05:31Okay.
05:32I think, you know, I'm pretty nervous today, so I just want to get back and open the account.
05:37So I might actually go the low offer.
05:38Go the low?
05:39Yeah, I'm going to go the low offer.
05:40Off the top.
05:41Yeah.
05:41All right.
05:41Lose the $12,000, lose the $30,000.
05:43And you've really upset the chase off.
05:44I know.
05:45That's not a bad thing.
05:45I want to get away.
05:46For $1,000.
05:47I can't even look at it.
05:49Look, the chase is on.
05:53Here's your first question.
05:54Good luck.
05:56Australian politician Susan Lee was born in which country?

06:12Locked in, United Kingdom.
06:13Correct answer is?
06:18Nigeria.
06:19Chase her locked in.
06:23Nigeria.
06:24Her father, I'm not sure what the job was, but it involved a lot of international postings.
06:27I think it was corporate, so Nigeria is where she was born.
06:30OK, thank you.

06:50The Outsiders, yeah.
06:51Locked in, B, The Outsiders.
06:53Correct answer is?
06:56The Outsiders.
06:57Money moves.
06:58Goliath is locked in.
07:02The Outsiders.
07:03Imagine having a musical based on your young adult novel, Clint.
07:06I know.
07:06I've actually got it tattooed on me.
07:08Have you?
07:09Yeah, I've got Stay Gold tattooed on me.
07:11Did you get that tattoo of me in the end?
07:13You were going to?
07:14Still working on the sketches, though.
07:16OK, question now.

07:42All right.
07:42Locked in microplastics.
07:44Correct answer is?
07:47Algal blooms.

08:20Yeah, the DJ.
08:21Come on.
08:21The only band I've heard of is Modest Mouse, so I'm not sure, though.
08:25I haven't heard of the song.
08:26OK.
08:26Correct answer is?
08:31Modest Mouse.
08:32Modest Mouse.

08:37Modest Mouse.
08:38Question.
08:40The thermionic valve was largely replaced by which ubiquitous electronics device?
08:46A, transistor.
08:49B, capacitor.
08:50C, CPU.
08:58What did you think?
09:00Maybe a capacitor?
09:01I don't know what a thermionic valve is.
09:04OK.
09:05Locked in capacitor.
09:06Correct answer is?
09:10Transistor.
09:11Don't worry about not knowing what stuff is up there.
09:13I don't know, 95% of the things that come up the base are locked in.
09:20Transistor.
09:21The most likely place you'll see an old-fashioned thermionic valve now is on a really expensive
09:26hi-fi setup, and it looks like a glass bulb with a little filament.
09:29Oh, OK.
09:30So that's what a thermionic valve is.
09:31I know that.
09:31All right.
09:32Now, you took the right offer because you're still in the game.
09:34Definitely, yeah.
09:35But you've got to get a couple right quickly.
09:36Right on this?
09:37Here's your question now.

09:45A, babyface.
09:47B, pretty boy.
09:49C, sweet cheeks.
09:56Lester Gillis.
09:57Babyface, pretty boy, sweet cheeks.
09:59I think there was a pretty boy in those gangs back then, but I'm not sure.
10:04It could also be babyface.
10:05I went with pretty boy.
10:07Locked in pretty boy to get us out of trouble here.
10:10Correct answer is...
10:16Babyface.
10:17No.
10:18Now, if sweet cheeks has locked in babyface, we've got to say goodbye here.
10:23You are.
10:27If he's locked in babyface, he's got us here.
10:28That's all good.

11:16Oh, just new to it.
11:17Oh, yeah, yeah.
11:18Well, I've played guitar for about seven years.
11:20Now, you've got this sort of Rubik's Cube record you've got to tell us about.
11:23I'm pretty decent at a Rubik's Cube, so that's a good party trick to pull out.
11:27I can do it in under a minute.
11:28Under a minute?
11:29Yeah, yeah.
11:29It's actually a lot easier than people probably think.
11:32You're right.

12:56Here comes the chaser now.
13:05Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, mate, you can't be in a punk band and be doing a Rubik's Cube in less
13:11than a minute.
13:12You're a punk band, you want to get to your guitar and smash that Rubik's Cube in the face.
13:16That's what you do.
13:16Young people today, Larry, no idea how to do anything.
13:19No idea.

13:22Let's put your money on the board right now and start this off.
