Clyde/Lisa/James
Premiere He has an IQ of 155. He is one of the greatest trivia champions in the world. He stands 6 foot 7, 370 pounds, mostly brain. He's a mathematician and teacher with degrees from Oxford and Exeter. He has single-handedly denied many unfortunate Britons hundreds of thousands of dollars. His name is Mark Labbett. They call him "The Beast", and for good reason. And tonight, he invades America. Three complete strangers have the unenviable task of competing against this sultan of stat. If they have the knowledge, the courage, and the speed, they could win hundreds of thousands of dollars. All they have to do is survive... THE CHASE. Tonight's trio of runners are...
The game is played in three rounds, and each runner will play all the first two. Round 1 is the Cash Builder Round. Brooke will ask each Runner rapid fire questions for one minute worth $5000 each. The money they win in this round is put on an eight-space game board for Round 2, the Chase Round. The Runner can stay where they are, but if they step one space away from the Chaser, they will play for a lesser amount, but will have less questions to answer. If they take one step TOWARDS the Chaser, they will play for bigger money, but will have to answer more questions correctly. Compounding that, if the Chaser answers a question correctly, HE will move one step down on the board. If a Runner gets caught before he or she banks the money, they - AND THE MONEY - are out of the game. But if they bank the cash, they will move on to the Final Chase, where the team will compete against the Beast one more time for an equal share of the bank. First up, it's JAMES, a landscape gardener who wants to backpack through South America. CASH BUILDER: 5 out of 11 for $25,000.
If James wants to move one step towards the bank, The Beast will offer "The Chicken Option, 10 grand." If he wants to gamble, Mark will offer $60,000. James elects... to STAY where he is. And with that, for the first time on American television... THE CHASE... IS ON!

If she takes the easy way, Mark will serenade her with an offer of $15,000. If you want to gamble... ".... Think how much $75,000 will do for your career." Lisa stays at the $30,000, and the Chase is on...

Lisa: Roller coaster Finally, it's up to Clyde to build to that bank. Like the Beast, he likes comic books. If he wins the money, he's going to the World Series of Poker. CASH BUILDER: 6 out of 11 for $30,000. He can stay there... If he takes the safe route... "Entry fee into the Main Event of the World Series of Poker, $10,000." If he wants to play ball... "You're a gambler, so gamble. $95,000 SAYS YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!" Clyde is GOING ALL-IN! For $95,000, the Chase is on...
Clyde: Muggles
Clyde: Halle Berry
Clyde: Doctors Without Borders And with that, Clyde... the Chase is OVER. But we do have Lisa, we do have James, and we do have $55,000 to play for. THE FINAL CHASE Lisa and James will get rapid-fire questions for 2 minutes. For each correct response they buzz in with, they will move one step ahead of the Beast. There are two people playing this Final Chase, so they will begin with an automatic two steps. For $55,000, the Final Chase... IS ON! Lisa: 5 for 8 The team ends up with a total of 13 steps. A modest score... But is it enough? Mark will now have 2 minutes to answer as many questions as HE can. Every correct answer puts him one step closer to the Runners. If he answers a question INCORRECTLY, the clock stops and the question goes to the Runners. If they answer the question correctly, they will push the Beast back ONE step. If Mark catches the Runners before two minutes is out, then the Final Chase is over, and the Runners leave with nothing. If Mark fails to catch the Runners in time, then the Runners will get an equal share of $55,000, $27,500 a piece! It's time for the FINAL CHASE!
