‘Really good looking’: Game show chaser Cheryl Toh has ‘brain fade’ moment over Premier Peter Malinauskas’ question

A game show character on a popular television show had the ultimate ‘brain fade’ moment when she saw a picture of the South Australian Premier shirtless.

Premier Peter Malinauskas has come up on a question for a popular Australia television game show, with a character admitting she was distracted by how good he “looks in his swimsuit”.

The question on the show, The Chase Australia, asked contestants, ‘which Labor politician was elected State Premier First?

The answers available for contestants were, former Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, Premier Peter Malinauskas, and New South Wales Premier, Chris Minns.

The contestant answered correctly with former VIC Premier, Mr Andrews, but it was the Chaser, Cheryl Toh, who stole the moment, admitting that she got the answer wrong because she was thinking about Mr Malinauskas’ looks.

“I had a bit of a brain fade there, thinking about how good Peter looks in his swimsuit,” she said.

“He’s a really good looking fit guy and I got so distracted.”

The moment drew laughs from all involved in the back-and-forth about Mr Malinauskas, who in 2022, was photographed at the North Adelaide Aquatic Centre shirtless.

Host Larry Emdur responded to Ms Toh, reminding her what game show she worked on.

“You do now this is the Chase, not the Bachelor right,” he said.

Ms Toh responded to the game show host, adding one more thing to say.

“Peter Malinauskas could go on the Bachelor if he wasn’t already married,“ she said.

The Chase Australia is a game show which has been running since 2015, where contestants compete against the Chaser (Ms Toh), who is considered a ‘quiz expert’.
