The Chase's Mark Labbett was left stunned after a contestant clashed with him over the higher offer.
Four new contestants were welcomed to the ITV show, in a bid to take on the Chaser and win some cash.
Eddie, Helen, Tom and Elizabeth all took it in turns to face the cash builder, before going head-to-head with The Beast.
First up was Eddie, who stunned host Bradley Walsh after revealing that he used to be a submarine operative and once spent three months living below the surface during the Falklands War.
He answered five questions correct in the cash builder, securing himself a solid £5,000.
But when The Chaser laid out the higher and lower offers, Eddie wasn't impressed.
Mark offered him a higher offer of £22,000, but Eddie opted to play it safe and stick with the £5,000.
Eddie said: "I thought the high offer would have been at least £30,000."
"You should have done better then," Mark quipped.
Unfortunately, Eddie was eliminated by the Beast and went home empty handed.
Viewers took to Twitter after the defeat, with one saying: "Should have got through Eddie."
Another added: "Such a shame I liked Eddie."
"I liked Eddie," wrote another.
While a fourth added: "Sad times for Eddie."
The Chase continues weekdays on ITV at 5pm.
