05/10/2012 Weakest Link

Here are today's team of nine contestants,

preparing for the show. Only one of them

will get the prize money of up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing,

as their team mates vote them the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

could win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other,

but if they want the prize money, they'll have to work as a team.

Eight will leave with nothing,

as we lose the players voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

I'm 21. I'm a reservations agent from the West Midlands.

I'm a 39-year-old police officer from Devon.

I'm 31. I'm a languages teacher

from Cramlington in Northumberland.

I'm a 58-year-old chemist from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.

I'm 41, and I'm a nurse from Oakham.

I'm 20 years old, and I'm a medical student from Worcester.

I'm 58, a betting shop manager,

originally from Surrey.

I'm a 50-year-old housekeeper

from Helmsley in North Yorkshire.

I'm 44 years old. I'm a machinist from the West Midlands.

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly

to reach your £1,000 target within the time.

The fastest way is a chain of nine correct answers.

A wrong question breaks the chain

and the money in the chain is lost.

If you say "Bank" before the question,

the money is safe. However,

you start a new chain. At the end of the round,

only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

We start with three minutes on the clock.

We start with the first name alphabetically.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

So, one of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

No-one answered a question wrong,

but statistics show Aileen as the strongest link,

and Foiz as the weakest link.

why have you voted for Joyce?

We're the same age and one of us had to go.

So it's an ageist thing, is it?

On this occasion.

Joyce,...apparently you're slow.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I expected to go a bit further than I did,

but it wasn't meant to be.

People will criticise me for not doing better,

but they just don't like the old ones.

And I just happen to be a little bit too old.

Round Two. So far,

you have £1,000... Eight of you left.

We're taking ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the last strongest link - that's Aileen.

Who is very sadly unsuitable for the rounds to come?

Will the voting follow the facts?

Voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Martin.

-What do you do?

-I'm a police officer.

-Why Keith?

-Aileen,

why Keith?

-Yes, he thinks petit dejeuner

is peas in French.

With five votes, Keith, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm kicking myself about my wrong answers.

I didn't know the French one, but on the union between England and Wales, I said Scotland.

That was stupid because my family are Scottish. But there you go.

Dave may be go next because he's reluctant to answer quickly.

Round Three.

Of the £2,000 you could have won, you have £1450.

Seven players now. Another ten seconds off the clock.

Who needs to brush up on their brainpower?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Martin was the only one to answer all his questions,

making him the strongest link.

Aileen is the weakest link, although the strongest in Round One.

But will it be enough to save her?

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

We have a tie. Aileen and Stephanie, three votes each.

Just as well.

Well, PC Martin, why did you vote for Aileen?

-I believe she got three questions wrong.

-She did.

You can change your mind. Would you like to get rid of Aileen? Or Stephanie?

-I'll stay with my decision. I'm sorry, Aileen.

-Why?

Because she got three wrong and I thought Stephanie only got two wrong.

Oh. Well, you can't count, can you?

-Possibly not, Anne, no.

-There's no possibly about it. Aileen,

Martin, who can't count, wants you out.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I wasn't expecting to get past the first round, so I'm pleased I got to the third.

Stephanie will perhaps go next.

She and I both did badly in that round.

And I think her nerves will see her off.

Round Four.

And you've banked so far £1550.

Six of you left, ten seconds off the clock.

You have 2½ minutes. We start with the strongest link, Martin. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Vote off the weakest link.

Michelle is the strongest link.

Her answers were all correct.

Martin has gone from strongest to weakest link.

But will the voting reflect reality?

Voting over. Time to see who you see as the weakest link.

Michelle, why have you voted for Dave?

He got too many wrong again. It was not good enough.

Do you think you're good enough?

Oh, yeah.

-Do you think he was the weakest link?

-Yeah.

-Stephanie, your job?

-I do hotel reservations.

And what did Dave do to upset you?

I think he got two questions wrong.

I think he was the weakest link.

-You don't have to count to book hotels?

-No.

Just as well...

Dave wasn't the weakest link. Was he, Martin?

-I don't believe so.

-Who, then?

-Me.

Correct. That's right.

Now, Martin...

You're a Devon policeman. You wear the flat cap?

-That's correct.

-Do they let you out on your own?

-They do, indeed.

-Well, the criminals in Devon must be heaving a sigh of relief.

-And what did Dave do?

-Well, Dave,

you were not statistically the worst player, PC Martin was.

But the team have decided they've had enough of you. Goodbye.

I'm outraged. I shouldn't be here. One of the first three should.

They all voted for me. I hope none of them win except Helen.

There's nobody particularly strong in the team. I was the best of a bad bunch.

Round Five. You've won so far £1850.

Five of you left. Ten seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest link. That's Michelle.

has definitely popped its clogs?

Who is lying in cloud-cuckoo-land?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Helen is the strongest link, statistically.

Martin got all his wrong, making him the weakest link for the second time.

But can he survive another vote?

Voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

We have a tie - Martin and Foiz have two votes each.

-PC Martin...

-Hi, Anne.

-..why Foiz?

I believe he got a couple of questions wrong.

-You thought he was the weakest link, did you?

-I did.

-Foiz...

-Yeah.

-..why Martin?

I thought he got a couple wrong.

When there's a tie, the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

Helen, you haven't voted for either of them, but you now have the choice.

Martin the policeman or Foiz the medical student.

-Who would you like to get rid of?

-I'll vote for Martin. Sorry.

-Why?

-He has been the weakest link.

-He was the weakest link on the last round

and on the round before.

Helen's had enough of you.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It was Helen's decision to vote me out over Foiz.

I think in the long term Foiz might fall on the older questions. He's quite young.

I would do better but I wish him luck.

Stephanie will be next. Her general knowledge isn't as good as the others.

Round Six. You've won £1930 so far.

Four left. Another ten seconds off your time.

-We start with the strongest link -

-Helen.

Time's up and in that round you won £250.

But who is standing in your way?

Who needs to be dispatched without delay?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistically, Stephanie is the strongest link.

The weakest link is Michelle but she was the only one to bank any money.

Will it be enough to save her?

Voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Interesting!

We have a four-way tie.

You all voted for each other.

So you've all got a vote each.

Foiz, why Michelle?

I remember her getting questions wrong that I would have got right.

Helen, why Foiz?

-He got a couple wrong.

-So did you.

Michelle, why Stephanie?

I remembered she'd got a few wrong.

-Do you know anyone else who got a few wrong?

-I did but I banked.

You've always got an answer. It must irritate the children you teach.

Stephanie, when the vote is tied, the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

Who do you want it to be? Why have you voted for Helen?

I think that she got the most questions wrong in the last round.

You can stick with Helen or you can get rid of Michelle, or Foiz.

Who would you like to get rid of?

I'll stick with Helen.

Well, statistically, our brilliant language teacher

Michelle was the worst player.

Helen, Stephanie wants you out. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think Stephanie voted for me in that round

because I voted for her earlier.

So I'm not surprised that she did it.

Michelle will vote tactically. She's a little older.

And she's got a wise head on her shoulders.

Round Seven. £2180 in the kitty. Three of you left.

Ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link - Stephanie.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

In the next round, there's £3,000 to be won.

The question is who should be given their marching orders?

Who is unlikely to raise the bank balance?

It's time to have the courage to vote off the weakest link.

Having survived the last vote, Michelle has become the strongest link.

Foiz is the weakest link for the second time.

Will the others have noticed this?

Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Stephanie, why Michelle?

Michelle was the weakest link.

-What made you think that?

-She got the most questions wrong.

-Did she get more questions wrong than you?

-Yeah.

And was she the weakest link overall?

-No.

-She was the strongest link overall in the game.

-Yeah.

Are you getting rid of your big opposition?

No!

Well, actually, she was the strongest link in the last round.

And she has been the strongest link throughout the game.

-Foiz...why Michelle?

-Because she was the strongest link.

So you're a coward and a medical student?

No, I'm not a coward, I'm a pragmatist.

-You're not brave enough to take on the opposition?

-Why make it difficult for yourself?

Michelle, the teacher from Northumbria.

You were the strongest link in that round and overall.

Will the pupils be cheering or laughing?

You are the weakest link. Goodbye!

Being voted off at this stage of the game is terrible. I feel terrible.

I should have won. I could have.

It should have been me out there.

The person I would least like to see win is Foiz because of the way he voted.

Round Eight. You've won £2240 so far. You could have won £7,000.

Stephanie and Foiz, just you two left.

This time you have just 90 seconds.

Whatever you win in this round will be trebled to make up the final prize money.

So, £3,000 is at stake in this round.

You voted off the strongest link so we go to the second - Stephanie.

Let's play the weakest link. Start the clock.
