definitely my favourite chaser!

[u/T9672]

To think that Darragh was a hit even when he first appeared on the show as a contestant!

As the only player on the team who didn’t go low (and would go on to win a 4-way share of £6,300), obviously people on Twitter were furious at his teammates, to the point where they started a #JusticeForDarragh hashtag AND a GoFundMe page for him (I think he refused all the money raised and instead donated it to a local charity — talk about humble ☺️).

I wonder how many people back then could’ve predicted he would be a chaser today :P

Who is that young go getter Smithers?

[u/Ok_Sentence8885]

How many other worldwide Chasers have been contestants before being hired on as a Chaser? I know James "The High Roller" Holzhauer and Mara "The Smiling Assassin" Lejins were also contestants too.

Quiz and game show fan from the States- love Darragh and the Chase! And Bradders, of course.

Michael was REALLY offended by that Harry Potter reference.
