07/06/2012 Weakest Link

Today's nine players are preparing for the show.

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

The rest leave with nothing

as their teammates 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 have to work as a team.

Eight of them will leave with nothing

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Carol. 39. A recruitment consultant from Birmingham.

I'm David, a 51-year-old commercial manager

from Stourbridge in the West Midlands.

I'm Judy. I'm 62. I'm a part-time lecturer from Bristol.

I'm Alec. I'm 34. I'm a Royal Mail manager from Edinburgh.

I'm Tommy. I'm a salesman. I'm from London. I'm 46 years old.

The rules. In each round, the aim is to answer

enough questions correctly to reach a £1,000 target

within the time limit.

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

Get a question wrong and you break the chain and lose the money.

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.

Three minutes in Round One.

We start with the first name alphabetically.

That's you, Alec. Let's play The Weakest Link.

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

Esther. Why Tommy?

I was aware of him getting a couple of questions wrong.

-You didn't get any wrong?

-No.

David, how's it for you?

-So far, so good.

-Why Tommy?

I thought there was a lack of confidence

coupled with the wrong answer.

Larraine, why Tommy?

I know that he got at least one question wrong,

He was lacking in confidence.

Did anyone else get a question wrong?

Probably me.

-You thought he was the weakest link?

-I thought so.

Statistically, Tommy was not the weakest link, was he, Ian?

-I got one question wrong.

-Is that all?

I lost £100.

Ah. That's a bit more important, isn't it?

It's votes that count, though.

Tommy, you are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I came here either to win, or go out as quick as possible.

Not to be mediocre.

I'm happy to have gone out first.

I wasn't the weakest link. I could have been a threat.

Maybe it shows they weren't that bright.

I'd say Esther might come off in the next round.

She's young. The older ones will have her.

Round Two. You've won £600 so far out of a possible £1,000.

Eight of you left.

We are now taking 10 seconds off the clock.

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

But will the votes follow the facts?

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

Jim, do you want to get rid of the women?

Not really. No. I thought, three questions wrong, weakest link.

What's Judy done to upset YOU?

Nothing at all. She just didn't bank.

Alec, where are you from?

-Edinburgh.

-Are there mushrooms there?

Some.

-Why Judy?

-Three questions wrong. I thought they were easy.

Judy, what do you do?

I'm a part-time lecturer.

I'm almost retired due to senility as you will have noticed.

We did notice. With six votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel mad with myself for being voted off.

I've got more in here, it was just getting it out.

It's easier when you're sitting at home.

I should have got my questions right.

I've got enough stuffed in like a pudding.

I should have known Supertramp. My friends will be horrified.

Round Three. You could have won £2,000 by now.

In fact, you have in your kitty £1150.

You have knocked off the salesman and the senile college lecturer.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The only player to get all his questions right was Jim, the strongest link.

The worst player, statistically, is Carol.

But who will lose out in the voting?

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

Jim, are you determined to get rid of the women?

Not really. I'm just going for the weakest link.

Esther,

do YOU want to get rid of the women?

No. Carol's been a bit hesitant. It was a bad round for her.

Alec, never heard of Vivien Leigh, the actress?

I'm friends with her. I can't believe I got that wrong.

-Why did you vote for Carol?

-I think she got the most questions wrong.

You got THAT right.

Statistically, Carol, you were the worst. The team have voted you the weakest link.

Goodbye.

Good luck.

I feel awful about being voted off at this stage.

I thought I was getting better, then I had a really distastrous round.

Really bad.

I'd love to see Captain Jim Mainwaring go off next,

because he had a twinkle in his eye as he voted for me.

That would be nice.

Round Four.

There's £1,450 in your bank account out of potential prize money of £3,000.

In that round, you banked £300.

Who is now looking dazed and confused and bemused and bewildered?

Sack the culprit.

Vote off the weakest link.

Jim gave four correct answers so he's the strongest player.

Having answered most of her questions incorrectly, Larraine is the weakest player.

But how will the voting go?

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

We have a three-way tie.

David, Alec and Larraine. Two votes each.

David, why Alec?

I think the fact there's a three-way tie shows the round was really even.

I had to pick somebody.

Alec, why Larraine?

Again, it was a close round and really, I don't think I could pick who was the weakest.

-You picked right, didn't he, Larraine?

-Probably, yes.

What did David do to upset you?

I was in two minds between him and Alec.

I felt this side did better than that. There wasn't much in it at all.

Enough for you to statistically be the weakest player.

Jim,

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

You can change your mind, having heard the evidence.

So, would you like to get rid of David, Alec or Larraine?

I'll stick with my original one.

Why?

I don't like changing my mind for a start...

Alec, Jim wants you off. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm absolutely gutted being voted off in a tie-break.

I felt Jim would change his mind, but obviously he's quite a stubborn man,

and he's not changed it.

I think Larraine's been the weakest link a few times.

She's got some easy questions wrong, but she gets incredibly hard questions right.

But I think she is the next one, probably, to go.

Round Five. Your total so far is £1,750.

If you'd hit your target, it would be £4,000.

Another ten seconds coming off the time.

We start with the strongest link, that's Jim.

The Persuaders.

Time is up.

That was the correct answer.

But after all that work, you only put in your kitty a very unimpressive £200.

Who is throwing away everyone else's money?

Who needs to be retired?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

David and Jim answered all their questions correctly and banked £100.

David is the strongest link, having gained more money.

Ian is the weakest link for the second time. Can he survive?

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

Esther, why do you want to get rid of Larraine?

The overall performance. She's doing very well,

but I think she has to go now before she starts losing it.

Ian, why Larraine?

The fact that she's voted for me makes it sweeter,

but I also thought she was the weakest link.

She wasn't, though, Ian.

Statistically, guess who was.

-Me.

-Good. It's votes that count.

Larraine, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

This game is really difficult.

It's like trying to rub your stomach, pat your head and hop on one leg, on the spot, all at once.

It's really tough.

It might possibly be David, but I think Ian will be the next off.

I think he's been the weaker of those two throughout.

Round Six. You've banked £1,950 out of a possible £5,000 you could have won by now.

There are four of you left. We are cutting off ten seconds.

Who's not cutting the mustard?

Who is now well out of their league?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the second successive round, David is the strongest link.

With the most incorrect answers, Esther is the worst player.

But who will collect the votes?

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

We have a tie - Esther and Ian.

Two votes each.

-Esther, why Ian?

-Because I banked over half the money for that round,

and I'm still valuable to the team.

-Ian, why Esther?

-I thought she had a weak round.

Well, when the vote is tied,

the strongest casts the deciding vote.

And of course, you could change your mind.

David, as the strongest link, would you rather

get rid of Esther or Ian?

-I'll stick with Esther.

-Why?

I think she was weaker that round.

Esther, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It was a shame that last round was a tie between Ian and I.

Overall our performances were similar and could have gone either way.

I'm obviously disappointed to be out.

Ian deserves his place down there as much as I do, so I wish him luck. I don't think he'll win.

Round Seven.

You have £2040 out of the £6000 you could have won by now.

There are three of you left. You've got rid of all the women. Ten seconds off the time.

Time is up.

Considering how many weak links have gone,

that was spectacularly pathetic.

You managed to win just £60.

In Round Eight, you can treble what you bank,

and so in the next round, there is £3,000 to be won.

Who is least likely to help you towards a better bank balance?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

David has maintained his position as strongest for the third time.

With four incorrect answers, Jim is this round's weakest link.

But who will lose this final vote?

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

Ian, why Jim?

Out of the two, he was the worst that round.

If we were to look at overall performances

-who do you think is weakest?

-I would be.

-David, why Jim?

-I just thought he had a bad round.

Statistically, Jim, you were the worst player in that round. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I can't complain at being voted off. We were playing The Weakest Link.

In that round I was the weakest link, no doubt about it.

Had I stayed on, I could have won it.

I think David will win it.

He's steady. He thinks out what to do.

And he does it. Ian knows his stuff, but he's getting a little nervous.

Round Eight. You've won £2,100 so far,

out of a possible £7,000.

David and Ian, just the two of you left and you have only 90 seconds.

What you win in this round will be trebled

and added to your total for your prize.

So, £3,000 is at stake in this round.

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

I feel elated at the moment. I'm on a cloud.

I can't wait to phone my wife. She just won't believe it.

At the moment, I'm disappointed,

but in a few weeks' time, I'll be pretty proud of myself.

I'm delighted to have won The Weakest Link.

I can't believe I've done it really. It's a wonderful feeling.
