The Chase's Mark Labbett warned a Liverpool university student she was making a bad choice with her cash offers.
Miranda, 21, a marine biology student was hoping to raise funds for a cage dive with sharks in South Africa.
But during the cash-builder, it appears nerves may have gotten the better of her as she only managed one right answer.
Mark Labbett then offered Miranda the option of getting one step ahead, by taking a lower offer of -£1,000.
Miranda's fellow contestant Lee urged her to take the minus option, but Miranda stuck with her £1,000.
The Beast told Miranda she had made a mistake by not taking the low offer, saying it would have been much better for her to be in the final, even if there was a reduced prize pot.
Many viewers also agreed, taking to Twitter.
Dave said: "When will people learn a 'low' minus offer is often the best move especially if you have had a poor cash builder."
Steffan tweeted: "Tbh I think Mark's right it was only 2k difference to increase her chances of getting back and in the final chase. She's made a mistake."
And unfortunately for Miranda, it appeared The Beast was right as she was soon knocked out of the head-to-head.
