Fans of The Chase were gutted when the contestant's lost once again after an impressive comeback.
And some have even gone so far as to say Bradley Walsh has a part to play in chaser Mark 'The Beast' Labbett's victory.
The team lost with just three seconds to go on Tuesday (November 5).
Marie, Owen and Soozie were trying to win £18,000 and managed to push back the chaser four times, Manchester Evening News reports.
But with just three seconds to go - Mark dashed the team's hopes of winning.
And fans have a theory as to why - they think host Bradley Walsh reads the questions quicker for the chaser.
One viewer tweeted: “As ever, fixed. Chaser questions were mostly 6-10 words long to save time, questions were easy and Brad speeds up when asking the Chasers questions. And I should know, I’ve been on the show.”
A second said: “Nah 3 seconds to go for 18k, Brad is mocking it.. he could just read the last questions a little slower.”
A third posted: “A final chase of twists and turns today; The Beast cruising towards a win with 30s to spare only to let complacency get the better of him. 15s left on the clock, 3 answers required.. he only went and pulled it out the bag 3s before time. You couldn’t write it.”
Another raged: “Are ITV ever going to pay out ??? Notice how Brad, reads the Chasers questions, really quickly ???”
ITV has been contacted for a comment.
The Chase airs weekdays from 5pm on ITV.
