07/09/2012 Weakest Link

Today's nine contestants prepare for the show. Only one of them

will go home with up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing,

as team-mates vote them the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in the studio today could win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other.

But if they want the 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.

I'm Billy. I'm 43. I'm an analyst from Bourne Hill in Scotland.

I'm Candice. I'm 32. I'm an exhibition organiser from London .

I'm Alan. I'm 38, from Doncaster. I'm a civil servant with a benefits agency.

I'm Rachel. I'm 24. I'm a housing officer in Middlesbrough.

I'm Sam. I'm 22. I'm from Surrey. I'm a student a Bristol University.

I'm Judith. I'm 46. I'm a lecturer in Business Studies, from Broxbourne in Herts.

I'm Roy. I'm 56. I'm a retired supervisor in the motor industry from Leamington Spa.

I'm Dermot. I'm 31. I'm a building surveyor from Newcastle.

I'm Eugenie. I'm 51. I'm a union secretary from Essex.

Now the rules. In each round

the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

to reach your £1,000 within a time limit. The fastest way is

a chain of nine right answers. Get your question wrong,

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 was banked

can be taken. In Round One

there are three minutes.

We start with the person whose name is first alphabetically - Alan.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

The first question is for £20.

so you need to streamline your team.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

After a very close round,

Eugenie is the strongest link.

On paper, Candice is the weakest link.

What factors will the team consider as they cast their vote?

Tim to reveal who you think

is the weakest link.

Roy,...

how do you think it went for you?

It was difficult because nobody got a question wrong, so it was pot luck.

Why did you choose Eugenie?

She chickened out and banked money while we were on a roll.

You punish her for banking money?

-I had to decide on somebody.

-That's interesting.

Judith,... why Eugenie?

I think she hesitated. I didn't really want to vote for her,

but I had to vote for somebody.

Well, in fact, statistically,

she was the strongest link.

She banked £650, but it was reasonable for Roy to argue

that if you kept going you would have got to the £1,000 target earlier.

Statistically, Candice

was the worst player.

But it's votes that matter.

-Eugenie, you'll never listen to Suzie Quatro again, will you?

-No.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed at being voted off. We reached the target

and I was the strongest link.

But I'm philosophical about it.

It's hard to choose who will go next.

It might be a younger contestant. They don't have the life experience.

Round Two. You've got £1,000. Eight of you left.

One of you is about to leave. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Time to reveal who you think

..also...

Candice. Again because of nerves.

Voting over.

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

If Alan continues as he's been doing, he'll be voted off next.

Round Six. £2350 in the kitty. Four of you left.

Billy did well until the last round,

then he got a few wrong in the last round.

Right. Billy.

It was between me and him there. So I had to vote for Roy.

If the voting's tied, the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

Alan, you've voted for Billy, but you can get rid of either.

-I don't want rid of either.

-Don't be nice.

-It's such a waste of time.

-I'll stick with Billy.

I felt he did well up till now, but this one was quite bad for him.

Right. Statistically, he was the weakest link in this round,

but overall he's the strongest link. Stronger than Alan.

Billy, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel really disappointed. If I'd held on in that round,

I might have won.

People at home had thought I'd be out first round.

I think I've proved I'm not really the weakest link.

Round Seven. You have £2390 in the bank so far.

Three of you left. Another 10 seconds off the time.

The question is...

Who has gone very dim indeed?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Alan?

Are you slightly confused?

Lucky in that round, to be honest.

Right, well let's be honest.

Why are you getting rid of Roy?

He had a worse round than Candice.

Roy, what can we say? One right, five wrong. Leamington Spa awaits.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I had a stinker of a round,

after having two or three good rounds.

I started badly, then improved, but peaked too soon.

I voted for Alan, because in that last round,

there wasn't much between them

but he'd had a stinker in the previous rounds.

But the way it goes, he'll probably win.

Round Eight. You've won £2460 out of a possible £7000.

Candice and Alan, just you two left.

You have 90 seconds but whatever you win will be trebled

and added to your final prize money.

£3000 is at stake. We start with the strongest link from the last round - Alan.

against each other, head to head.

Best of five. Whoever answers most correctly wins. It's that simple.

If there's a tie, it's sudden death until we have a winner.
