Catch The Lightning Bolt, the quickest Chaser yet, on The Chase Australia.
In the competitive 5pm game show slot, Channel 7’s The Chase Australia is set to energize its lineup with the debut of a new quiz master, known as The Lightning Bolt, starting Monday, 26 February.
This move comes as The Chase Australia aims to reclaim its viewership from Tipping Point Australia, which has recently been leading in the 5-City Metro ratings.
Following the subdued reception of its “Double Trouble” feature, The Chase Australia is now hoping to captivate its audience with the addition of Brandon Blackwell, alias The Lightning Bolt.
Blackwell is celebrated for his remarkable quickness, holding the title of World SpeedQuizzing Champion and ranking among the top scorers on University Challenge, a revered British quiz program.
With confidence, Brandon asserts, “I’ll beat you before you even turn up,” challenging Australian contestants to match his quick-witted performance.
Having appeared on The Chase America, Blackwell brings his exceptional intellect to the Australian version, joining the esteemed ranks of Chasers like Goliath, The Beast, The Governess, The Smiling Assassin, The Shark, The Supernerd, and Tiger Mum.
His prowess was notably showcased when he clinched the runner-up position in the under-30 World Quizzing Championship in 2020, earning him the moniker of the fastest Chaser globally.
