“Question – Stalker”: The candidate suffers from a blackout – even the hunters show sympathy

In the ARD competition program, candidates not only have to show knowledge, but also have to show their nerves of steel. You play against two opponents: the hunter and time. Once the answer is recorded, the participant cannot retract their decision.

Only if the candidates survive the preliminary round can they compete together in the final for the prize money in an “Asked – Hunted” vs. Hunter showdown. The road there is not easy, but for Julia Maria from Bondi, Tuesday evening (September 5) was a disaster.

“Ask – Chased”: Nervousness becomes your biggest enemy

Swabian Sebastian starts against catcher Thomas Kinne. With €4,000 in his pocket, he confidently reached the final. His colleague Giulia Maria wants to do the same and enters the duel with 2,000 euros.

The young woman admits to presenter Alexandre Pomis that she is very excited. But at the time, she probably didn’t think that this stress would be her downfall. Giulia Maria initially did not respond to the tempting offer of 14,000 euros and wanted to maintain the supposed safe distance for three questions.

Brief guest appearance

But the tension can be seen growing on the woman from Graubünden, while the experienced “contest doctor” does not change his expressions. When asked, “Which country’s Prime Minister brought her three-month-old daughter, Nephi Te Aroha, to the UN General Assembly in 2018?”, she chose “Canada” instead of the correct answer, “New Zealand.” “I was driven by fear,” she revealed to Pomis.

More news:

This causes the hunter to get closer and closer and the candidate is knocked unconscious. Before she can answer a question correctly, Thomas Kane has already met Julia Maria and the game is over for her. Even the hunter shows compassion and retracts the comments, while the frustrated candidate has to give up the seat to the next person. With more time and less pressure, the duel would certainly be more exciting, but that’s the difficulty with “question-pursuit.”
