Plucky contestants who make it through to the Final Chase always pray the Chaser will get a question wrong.

If that happens, the question is thrown back to the contestants, who can put their heads together to come up with the correct answer.

If they manage to get it right, the Chaser is then pushed back one step.

That means they have to answer an extra question in their efforts to out-perform the team within the two minute countdown.
