Q. Did Henry VIII Know What a Smilodon Was? /s

Whilst Monday's episode was satisfying w/three of them beating the Final Chase for £9k, it could have been £99k had the fourth player, who'd done great in her Cash Builder, not flunked the question "In the 1500s, what was the largest mammal in Europe? Aurochs, Woolly Mammoth, or Sabre-Toothed Cat."

When the question was read I'd thought it might be tricky if they were counting eg brown bears and you had to guesstimate which one's larger; instead you had one animal folks may not know of (the aurochs was the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, went extinct c. 1600s) and two that folks definitely know about and which are synonymous w/"Ice Age animals, which are now extinct."

So naturally the contestant picked... C. Sabre-Toothed Cat.

Going to take a while to get over that one. 😅

Spokesperson mispronunciation

Just watching The Chase and the team got the answer Carlos Alcaraz correct as a pushback. A contestant knew the answer, told the nominated spokesperson the answer, and she then really struggled to pronounce it.

My question is, even though the contest clearly said it correctly, if the nominated ‘answer giver’ had pronounced it Alcarat or Alvarez or something, could Bradley still give it?? Or would it go down as being a wrong answer….

TIA!!
