Infobox

Cash Builder and individual chases

  • In the second paragraph, maybe the description of lower and higher offers should be rephrased. I've seen the UK version of the show, so I understood it, but I think especially the sentence "The contestant must answer five questions correctly without being caught to bank the money and continue to the Final Chase" is confusing, as it is untrue (it could be 4/6 questions) - regardless of later clarification. I think the second paragraph in the UK article explains it better.
  • "given credit for an incorrect answer"...so, they are given no credit at all? I'd replace with ...and do not move.
  • "until the contestant either banks their prize money" - this made me think (momentarily) that banking was a choice the contestant could make (like banking on The Weakest Link, for instance). I'd write something along the lines of until the contestant reaches the end of the board, and banks their prize money.
  • "or if they are locked out" - perhaps add by the time limit or something similar.

The Final Chase

Production

  • You've included dates for when the second and third seasons premiered, but not the first. It makes sense to put the date "August 6, 2013" somewhere in the section for when the first episode of the first season aired.

Reception

  • Maybe you could get more from the Manhattan Digest review - for instance, Tyminski also talks about the [lack of] difficulty and "rapid" pace of the game.
  • I think "argued that the presence of "dick-related questions" hurt the series when comparing it with the British version of the show" is a bit of a misinterpretation of the review. Am I missing something? I can't see anywhere where Teti criticizes questions with sexual innuendos, let alone that this "hurts" the show when compared with the British version.
  • The Emmy nomination is described in less detail in Reception than in the lead. For instance, The American Bible Challenge is mentioned in the lead in the paragraph about the Emmy nomination but not under Reception. The relevant sentences should probably be swapped around: whatever the solution, anything mentioned in the lead should also appear in the Reception section.
  • The Chase was #9 on this list - perhaps this deserves a mention in the article.

Overall, the article is good, but a bit small; I understand that it's not going to be a particularly large article but is there nothing else that could be added? Maybe there could be more detail in the Ratings section. Bilorv (Talk)(Contribs) 18:42, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review. I'll do my best to address all these issues as soon as I can. Thanks, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 19:31, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Everything's been addressed. Good work. :) Pass for GA. Bilorv (Talk)(Contribs) 21:19, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
