鈥淭his dude thinks he鈥檚 making a TikTok. Turning to Bradley after each answer to explain it and using his hands. Possibly one of the most annoying things I鈥檝e seen on this show,鈥 wrote one.
Another fan of The Chase joked, 鈥淭hanks for the explanations to your answers, Samir! I鈥檓 sure they weren鈥檛 too long!鈥 while another begged him to 鈥淪top overexplaining every answer lad, this show only lasts an hour.鈥
鈥淎re the explanations necessary? Please stop!鈥 another commented.
