06/09/2012 Weakest Link

Here are our team of nine contestants

preparing for the show.

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

The others get 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 can win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other,

however, if they want the prize money, they have to work as a team.

Eight leave with nothing, as round by round, we lose the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm Kate. I'm 45 and I'm a health visitor from Chester.

I'm Harjinder. I'm 27. I'm an industrial chemist from Gravesend.

I'm Carmen. I'm 39. I'm a voluntary co-ordinator from Croydon.

I'm Antony. I'm 49. I'm a business manager from Devon.

I'm Val. I'm a 59-year-old pub landlady.

I'm Suzi. I'm 26.

I'm a university administrator from Wigan.

The rules. The aim is to answer enough questions

to reach £1,000 within the time limit.

The fastest way is with nine correct answers.

Get one wrong and you break the chain

and lose all the money in that chain.

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

however, you start again from scratch.

Remember, at the end of the round, only money

that is banked is taken forward.

He's a sweetie. I voted him off because he got questions wrong. Sorry.

He only got one question wrong.

I can't add up either.

No. Right, OK.

-Jim, why have you voted him off?

-He got a question wrong.

Right.

Statistically, he wasn't the weakest link.

Who do you think was?

Erm...Val?

Have another go.

-Me?

-That's right.

Well, Harjinder,

you were not the worst player

but for someone with four A levels,

a degree in chemistry and a masters,

not to know that the kittens lost their mittens was too much for the team.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm devastated being voted off first.

I wasn't the weakest link. I was one of the strongest.

I was the youngest, one of the youngest ones, there

and the most educated.

I knew a lot of knowledge.

They figured that out and so voted me off because I was a threat.

There are eight of you left.

-OK.

-Kate, what is it you do?

-I'm a health visitor.

-Are you?

-Yes.

-And you've had enough of Antony?

-Not really.

I like him, but I do think he was the weakest link.

Antony, what do you do?

I'm a business manager.

Really? You've had three questions on it, and you haven't answered any of them.

I try to know as little as possible about Manchester United.

It's hard to fathom your logic.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm angry about being voted off.

I could have gone all the way, I think.

I'm kicking myself about the Man Utd question,

not because I knew the answer, but because I hate them.

I can't believe they've sunk me.

Round Three. And there's...in the kitty.

There are seven of you left. We take 10 seconds off.

We'll start with the strongest link - that's Carmen.

Jim is the strongest link statistically.

Suzi is the weakest link.

But will the voting follow the facts?

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

Carmen, why Karen?

I was aware that she got a couple of questions wrong.

-Is that all?

-Yes.

You thought she was the weakest link?

I couldn't be 100% sure, but, yes, I think she was.

Val, did you think Karen was the weakest link?

-Um, I think she probably might have been.

-Ooh, that's very definite.

But I voted for her because she voted for me last time.

And I've marked who's voted for me this time.

Right. Good. That's very, very sensible.

So it doesn't really matter to you

whether she was the weakest link or not.

-I think she could have been.

-Well, in fact she wasn't.

But I respect what you've done.

Someone else was the weakest link, weren't they, Suzi?

Yes. Me.

But Karen was second.

Karen,

you were not statistically the worst player.

But there are some powerful reasons for you to go,

A law student, who doesn't know what the Upper House of Parliament is.

A career move may be a good idea.

And you voted for Val who wants to see the back of you.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Not knowing the House of Lords question was disgraceful,

as I'm studying law.

The lecturers and all my friends will have a field day.

I want Val to win the least.

Although I voted for her, she then voted for me out of spite.

Round Four. £1800 banked. Six of you left.

Whose tongue is quicker than their mind? Who is no longer

cutting the mustard? Time to vote off the weakest link.

Kate is the strongest link statistically.

Val failed to answer any questions, making her the weakest link.

But who will be the loser?

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

John, how's it going for you?

I'm getting more comfortable but itching more.

I'm feeling myself impatient for the next question.

-Do you have any hobbies?

-Yes.

I decorate the house at times.

-At Christmas, I'm a Father Christmas.

-Right.

So why can't you answer a question

I don't even remember it. As far as I'm concerned, it's most unmemorable.

-Why Val?

-I rather think

Val got more wrong than me but I can't remember.

-You haven't got much of a memory, have you?

-Not at times, no.

Suzi,

-why Val?

-She got all questions wrong.

That's a good enough answer.

-And she voted for you last time.

-Because she's not a team player. The way she's voting.

Val.

Are you not a team player?

-No.

-Why's that?

Well, you can see I voted for John

-simply because he voted for me last time.

-Right.

You heard that I can't spell

and I can't count and I'm no good at general knowledge.

It's time I went, I think.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think that my friends, my family and all the regulars in the pub who are watching

will be quite pleased with me

because they expected me to go first.

I voted after Round One for those that voted for me.

Get rid of them.

Round Five. £1900 in the kitty. Five of you left.

Who is buckling under the pressure?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Kate is the strongest link again. She got everything right.

Suzi is the weakest link for a second time.

Can she survive a second vote?

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

Father Christmas John, why have you voted for Suzi?

I think she got more wrong than me.

Right.

-Kate?

-Yes.

-I'll stick with John.

-Why?

Because us sisters should stick together.

John, you're actually one of the strongest.

But the women don't want you. Jim should watch out.

Suzi was the weakest link statistically.

But you're going. Goodbye.

I'm slightly gutted. I wasn't the weakest link. I was the victim

of a bit of girl power.

At the end of the next round,

Suzi will be voted off. There's an element of weakness about her.

She's not so knowledgeable as some of the rest.

Round Six. There's £2070 in the kitty. Four of you left.

Not much doubt about that. Suzi, why Carmen?

-Right. Carmen,

-have you been to university?

-I have, a long time ago.

Too late, then. With three votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

As the rounds went on it was getting harder,

and I was glad to go. I think, on balance,

Kate will win, because she's been consistently good. She's been calm -

calm, and confident. That will see her through to the final, and to winning.

Round Seven. £2290 in the kitty, out of a possible £6000.

Three left. Ten seconds off the clock.

in that round.

I honestly didn't think it mattered. I was clearly the weakest link.

-You were?

-Uh-huh.

-You must be too good-looking to go.

With two votes, Suzi, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Jim should be here. He did a lot worse in that round,

and worse throughout the game than I did.

Kate's been the strongest throughout the game,

I'd like her to win. She will.

Round Eight. You've won £2430 so far out of a possible £7000.

and my children are going to be thrilled with it.
