The Chase viewers were left unimpressed after what many dubbed the 'worst final ever' aired on ITV, with one contestant eliminated in just 20 seconds.
The British quiz show, hosted by Bradley Walsh, 65, features four contestants who have to work as a team to answer general knowledge questions.
They must defeat the Chaser, a ruthless quiz genius, to win the cash prize, with the maximum amount that can be won for a single player being £100,000.
But during a recent instalment, Chaser Mark Labbett, also known as The Beast, 59, needed just five questions to knock out solo finalist Nicola.
Viewers were stunned as Nicola, the last contestant standing, was quickly dispatched in one of the show's shortest final chases ever - but could you have answered all five questions correctly?
Earlier in the episode, Nicola scraped through after a weak performance in the cash builder round, earning just £2,000 - compared to teammates Casey's £5,000 and Ian's £8,000.
However, both Casey and Ian were eliminated before the final round, leaving Nicola to face The Beast alone.
Despite her determination, Nicola only managed to answer four questions correctly in her two-minute final chase, earning a total of five points, including her one-point head start.
Before the round began, she admitted she had a 'feeling she'd be caught' - and she was right.
Mark got all five questions correct in just 20 seconds, ending the game with a whopping 1 minute and 40 seconds still on the clock.
Firstly, Bradley asked the star: 'What type of fashion accessory is a trilby?', Matt proceeded to answer the question correctly with 'hat' before they moved on to the second question.
Bradley then asked Mark: 'Eric 'Butterbean' Esch has 58 KOs in what sport?' to which he replied 'boxing'.
And for the third question, Mark was asked: 'Zodiac and Consul were brands by which carmaker?'
Mark quickly answered with 'Ford' before Bradley asked him the following question: 'James Collinson was a member of which artistic brotherhood?'
Viewers were stunned as Nicola, the last contestant standing, was quickly dispatched in one of the show's shortest final chases ever - but could you have answered all five questions correctly?
Whizzing through all the answers in just 15 seconds, Mark confidently confirmed the answer was Pre-Raphaelite.
Meanwhile, the final question which caught Nicola out was: 'Frosch' is the German word for what amphibian?'
With plenty of time on the clock remaining, Mark confidently answered the question with 'Frog'.
And just like that, Nicola was out - and viewers were left cringing, dubbing the episode as the show's 'worst final ever'.
Viewers took to social media to vent, with one writing: 'I actually feel dumber from watching that episode (face palm emoji).';
'That was the worst team I've ever seen.'; 'Never ever have I seen such a failure... 2k in the pot! ... Only 5 questions to be answered!';
Others echoed: 'Done in 20 seconds! Shocking.'; 'Shocking final chase.'
