ABC's recently premiered reality TV series The Chase returned for another exciting episode on Tuesday night. Titled, Dressed To Kill, Here To Love, this week, three new contestants came prepared to face off against the chaser in a bunch of trivia questions. This week, Buzzy "The Stunner" Cohen made his debut as the chaser on the series.

Emily Hogg, John Beck, and Jayanthi Martins entered the competition. Jayanthi lost the first round to Buzzy and was eliminated from the show. John and Emily made it to the final chase as a team. Facing off against Buzzy, they were placed two steps ahead of Buzzy.

The duo had gained a total of $80,000 combined. Even though Emily and John answered all the trivia questions asked, the money wasn't guaranteed. If Buzzy answered all the trivia questions, he would grab the money and leave the duo empty-handed.

Even though fans rooted for the contestants, Buzzy's trivia knowledge was immense. With seconds to spare before the timer went off, Buzzy answered all the questions and raced ahead of Emily and John, stopping them from winning their cash prizes.

Fans who watched the series were impressed with Buzzy's trivia knowledge.

More details on what happened on episode 5 of The Chase

Hosted by Sara Haines, this week's episode featured three contestants, a stay-at-home mom, a federal employee, and a copywriter. But one of these contestants caught the attention of Sara, who was taken up with the story behind her surname.

Emily's surname is spelled H-O-G-G, which one would think is Hogg, the literal pronunciation. She agreed that in Scotland, it is pronounced as it spells. But her great grandfather changed the pronunciation when he fell in love with her great-grandmother. Her name was Iona, and since he didn't want the literal pronunciation for her surname, he made it a little classy by making it a long O. Sara was taken up with the story claiming that this is what true love is.

The series will return next week for an all-new episode, and viewers will get to see if the contestants will take home the cash prize or not.


The Chase airs every Tuesday at 9 pm ET only on ABC. Readers can check their local listings for more information.
