05/11/2012 Weakest Link

Here are the nine contestants preparing for the show.

Only one will take home a prize of up to £10,000.

The rest will leave with nothing as, one by one,

they're voted off as 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. However, to get the prize money, they must work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

as round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

My name's Bob. I'm 22 years old.

I reside in Southend-On-Sea in Essex and I'm a graduate in advertising design.

I'm Mary Ann. I'm 50.

I'm from Llanwrtyd Wells in Powys

and I'm a chef.

My name is Andrew. I'm 34.

I'm from Brighton and I'm a fashion designer.

I'm Pete. I'm 60 years old.

I'm from Coventry and I'm a production engineer.

I'm Beverly. I'm 38, from Ruislip in Middlesex

and I'm a phlebotomist.

I'm Jill, aged 62,

from Penrith in Cumbria, retired.

I'm Helen. I'm 19, a student from Burton-On-Trent.

I'm John. I'm 40. I'm from Edinburgh and I'm a sales director.

I'm Christopher. I'm 55 years old.

I'm from Amersham in Buckinghamshire and I'm a retailer.

In each round the aim is to answer enough questions

to reach your £1,000 target in the time limit.

The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers.

Get your question wrong and you lose all the money there.

If you say "bank" before the question is asked, the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain from scratch. Remember,

at the end of the round, only banked money can be taken forward.

Round One has three minutes on the clock.

We start with the person

whose name is first alphabetically - that's you, Andrew!

of the worst? Who's brain is on holiday?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

But will the voting follow the facts?

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

Right, team. In that first round

you actually got a chain of nine answers

correct, which means two things.

So we didn't get off to a great start.

-Mary Ann, what cooking do you do?

-Good cooking.

-Like what?

Lamb with roasted vegetables and couscous, will that do?

No, I can't stand couscous.

Why Andrew?

-He blew his first answer.

-A fashion designer - so he might flounce out - you are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I can't believe it. My partner will be devastated. He thinks I'm so bright.

I think Helen may be voted off next cos she's 19, she's been nervous all day

and um...I can't imagine her general knowledge is that wide.

Round Two. You've won £400 out of a possible £1000. Eight left.

Why Jill?

I noticed she got a few wrong.

Well...

Jill, statistically, you played the worst and, with three votes,

you are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I feel very let down at being voted off so early on.

I think my nerves were just beginning to subside and I could have gone further.

I think Pete will be voted off next. He's rather nervous and got all his questions wrong.

Round Three. You've won £450, so far.

We're down to seven players

and ten seconds come off the clock. We start

with the strongest link last time - that's Christopher.

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

-John.

-Yes, Anne?

-You don't like Pete.

Pete's a nice guy, but he was a handicap in that round.

Vampire Beverley! Why vote for Pete?

He left me nothing to bank,

and got all his questions wrong.

He's got to go, I'm afraid.

Mary Ann. Who's your favourite TV cook?

Not you, as you don't like couscous.

I'm a proper cook, Mary Ann.

-You think so, Anne?

-I know so, Mary Ann.

-Could you earn your living at it?

-Easily.

Why Pete?

As I recall, all his answers were wrong.

Your memory's OK. We haven't seen you cook.

Pete, it may take you a while to walk off from your podium,

because you certainly took a while to answer any questions.

With six votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I can't believe I got voted out.

But as I got the questions, my mind went away.

I'd like to see Christopher off next. The others are playing as a team.

Round Four.

£640 banked, out of potential prize money of £3000.

There are six of you left.

You've got rid of Andrew, Pete and Jill.

Mary Ann, who thinks she can cook, Beverley the vampire,

Helen, who's at university to learn to go on holiday,

John, who leases cars and Christopher, in vintage spectacles.

With ten seconds off the clock, you have two-and-a-half minutes.

Who's clearly got nothing between the ears...

except perhaps their spectacles?

Who is about to become

an ex-contestant?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the second time in the game, Beverly is the strongest link.

With no correct answers, Helen is the weakest link,

although she did bank money.

Will this be enough to save her?

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

-John!

-Yes, Anne?

-Why Mary Ann?

Um, she passed on a question there before it was even asked.

We'll never bank money at that rate.

Bob! Of washing-up liquid fame!

Indeed.

Why is your washing-up liquid better than others?

Well, it just brings things up brighter.

-It brings things up brighter?

-Yeah. Unbelievable.

Why Mary Ann?

Well, she passed on a question that wasn't read, and banked money that wasn't won.

-Sorry, she had to go for that.

-Helen.

You're training to go on holiday. You didn't get one answer.

Why have you voted for Mary Ann?

Because she went off on a mad one.

-She just started passing.

-She got two questions right.

Yeah, but I waited for mine to be asked.

And then got them wrong. Take us through the Agatha Christie,

Body In The Coffin.

Well, I wouldn't know. I'm...I'm not that old, Anne.

-What's that to do with it?

-I'm just saying, old people read Agatha Christie.

You'll be meeting people when you're an expert on tourism?

-I hope so, yeah.

-Young people?

-Yeah.

-You won't want to bother with old people?

-Not really.

Well, statistically,

the genius Helen was the worst player. But it's votes that count.

Mary Ann, with three votes,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I can't believe I said "Pass" when Anne said my name!

I'd meant to say "Bank". The wrong word came out.

I feel Helen should be standing here, not me.

She's studying for a career in tourism. I work in the industry.

If she came near me, I'd give her the boot.

Round Five. Your total is £790 out of a possible £4000.

Five of you are left.

Ten more seconds come off the time.

Bob is the weakest, as he failed to get one answer correct.

But how will the vote go?

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

We have a tie, team. Bob and Helen,

-two votes each. Helen.

-Anne.

-Are you tired of Bob?

-He just looks like he needs to sit down.

-Christopher.

-Anne.

-Why Helen?

Because I think she got a number of questions wrong.

When a vote is tied,

the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

Beverly, why did you vote for Bob?

He didn't have a good round,

although he's done well up to now.

What are the teeth all about?

He's got a lovely smile.

-All I can see is his teeth.

-OK.

Well, you can change your mind.

You've voted for Bob, but you have the choice, do you want to get rid of Helen or Bob?

I'm going to change my mind, actually.

Bob's been consistently better. I think she's lost the plot

-a little bit.

-We're here to be horrid. Helen, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm annoyed that I was voted off. Obviously, she felt threatened.

Beverly's in love with Bob's smile, so I'm sorry I haven't got a nicer smile.

Round Six, and you haven't even made it to £1,000. £910 in the kitty. There are four of you left.

In a reversal of fortune, Beverly is the weakest link in this round.

Christopher is the strongest link.

but at this late stage in the game who will survive the vote?

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

We have a tie - Christopher and Bob.

-Two votes each. Christopher.

-Anne.

-Why Bob? I think he got a number of questions wrong, Anne.

Did you think he was the weakest link?

I think he might have been, yes.

-Bob.

-Hello.

-Why Christopher?

-Well, I've got a little bit of an affiliation with John over there,

and Beverly saved my skin, so there's only one choice I could make.

-That might have been an unwise choice.

-Yeah, but never mind,

-these things happen.

-They do. When the vote's tied,

the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

-Do you know who that was?

-It's probably Christopher.

-Christopher, who would you like to go?

-Bob.

-There we go.

These things happen. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was really racked off for being voted off.

I felt I could win. It wasn't to be at the end of the day.

I'd like to see Beverly go next, just because she's a bird. I want to see a bloke win it.

Round Seven. You've won £1,120 out of a possible £6,000. Three of you left. Ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link - Christopher. Let's play The Weakest Link.

The correct answer is mega, in fact, but you were out of time, and wrong.

£160. In Round Eight you get the chance to treble what you bank,

which means in the next round there's £3,000 to be won. The question is...

are you going to ditch your rival,

or do you have the courage to hang on to the better player?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The statistics show that Christopher is the strongest link at this point.

He answered the most questions correctly. John is the weakest link.

But whose game is over in this final vote?

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

-Christopher.

-Anne.

-Why John?

I think he got more wrong than anyone else.

He did, indeed... Beverly.

-Yes, Anne.

-Why John?

Between the two of us,

he was the worst, rather than Christopher.

No messing, John. Statistically, you were the worst player.

They've had enough. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm not happy to be voted off at this stage, to get so far.

I never had one vote throughout the contest. I was ganged up on at the end.

Anne reminded me of Attila the Hun. She wasn't as bad as I thought.
