While contestants Sinead, 26, and Gifton, 32, were already at a disadvantage following the loss of their other two team members, they gave an impressive performance in the final round.
Racking up a score of 16 correct answers, the team were hopeful, until Bradley Walsh read out a surprisingly easy question.
He said: "How many months are in a calendar year?" as The Sinnerman breezily replied: "12."
Rocked by the ITV quiz show's apparently unfair sway towards the chaser, fans took to Twitter in anger.
