It was a record-breaking night on The Chase Australia last night, with four contestants walking away $129,000 richer—thanks to the show’s latest gimmick, the “Mega Money Spinner.”
And if you thought that was impressive—spoiler alert—it goes off again next week. The timing couldn’t be more critical for Seven, with Tipping Point Australia pulling ahead in the quiz wars to its biggest lead yet, and media speculation swirling over the future of host Larry Emdur—swiftly denied by the network.
The real question? How long can a spinning wheel keep the all-important 6.00pm news lead-in afloat?
