Low offer enabler #thechase." Another typed: ""#TheChase Fs Alan."A third tweeted: "Hope Alan doesn’t come on twitter tonight !#TheChase." While a fourth penned: "#thechase they all could have gone higher and still lost and will lose the final."However, others congratulated the Scottish contestant in his expertise in answering questions.

One Twitter user wrote: "Well done, Alan. They’ve got a good chance here #TheChase."And another added: "Alan's come to win money, Fey's just happy to be there. #TheChase."But then, as Alan and Fey ended up losing out, one Twitter user had this to say: "Oh Alan #thechase."
