08/06/2012 Weakest Link

Here are today's team of nine contestants, preparing for the show.

Only one of them will go home with 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.

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Jason, aged 30, a military clerk from Lytham St Anne's in Lancashire.

I'm Rosalyn, aged 62, retired, from Yeovil, Somerset.

I'm John, I'm 29, an electrician from Glossop in Derbyshire.

I'm Josie, 43, a billing supervisor from Surrey.

I'm David, 56, a sales representative from Romsey, Hampshire.

I'm Helen, 23, a marketing manager from Kidderminster in Worcestershire.

I'm Paul, I'm 40, a landscape gardener from Stratford-upon-Avon.

I'm Simon, 18, I'm studying environmental science and I'm from Wigan in Lancashire.

I'm Donna, I'm 32 and I'm a secretary from Newcastle upon Tyne.

In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your £1000 target,

within the time limit.

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

Get a question wrong, you break it

and lose all the money in it.

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

But you start a new chain from scratch.

After the round, only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

In Round One, there are three minutes on the clock.

We start with David, whose name is first alphabetically.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

you banked £700 of the £1000 you could have won.

Who is already looking worryingly slow? One of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The statistics are similar for most players, but Helen is the strongest link.

The worst player is Simon, who lost the team money.

But who will lose out in this first vote?

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

John, why David?

There weren't many wrong answers in that round,

and I just remember David passing on one question.

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

-Yes, I did.

-But you want to kiss him three times?

-Mum said you'd pick on me.

Of course, he wasn't the weakest link...was he, Simon?

Obviously not.

-Who do you think was the weakest link?

-Me?

-Yes. But it's votes that count.

With three, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm fairly disappointed, obviously. I wasn't the weakest link.

I know I got one wrong, but I wasn't the only one.

There's two people I think are in line for going off next.

Rosalyn, who seemed a little uncertain, and Simon.

But, on the other hand, he may shine.

Round Two. You've won £700 so far out of a possible £1000.

Who can't cope? One of you is about to leave with nothing.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistics show Donna was strongest this round.

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

Jason.

-That's very reasonable. Rosalyn.

-Why Simon?

-I remember he got two wrong.

Right. He actually got three wrong.

-Do you know anyone else who got three wrong?

-Me.

That's correct. No points for that.

Simon, you should go back to school. You're costing us too much money.

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

It's a nightmare. I had a terrible round, and deserved to be voted off.

Anne wasn't so intimidating, and I think I got off well. She is really nasty to some people.

Playing the game is nerve-racking.

It's very hard. It's not so bad at home when you've got time to think.

Here it's a different story.

Round Three, and of £2000 you could have won you've banked just £800.

You're down to seven players.

You've got rid of a salesman and a student. Ten seconds go.

We start with the strongest link from that round Donna. Let's play The Weakest Link.

In that round you did marginally better, but by no means magnificently.

You banked £220. The question is, who's outstayed their welcome?

Lighten the load, heighten the bank balance.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

The only player to get all his answers right was John, so he was the strongest link.

The weakest link is Josie, although she did bank money.

But will the other players have realised this?

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

Paul. Why Rosalyn?

I think she's got a few wrong. I think she's just been a bit slow.

Helen. Why Rosalyn?

I think she's been banking too early, and I don't think she had a good round.

-Right. Rosalyn, how do you think you did in that round?

-Two wrong, I think.

-Yes.

Badly, I think.

But not as bad as somebody else here, did she, Josie?

Statistically you were worst but it's votes that count.

With three votes, Rosalyn, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I thought I'd go out earlier, so getting this far was a feather in my cap.

I won't be laughed at so much at home.

I think Josie might be next. She's rather hesitant.

But Paul has got questions wrong. It's between those two.

Round Four. £1020 banked out of potential prize money of £3000.

Who's no longer useful as a member of the team?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the second time, Donna is the strongest link.

The weakest link is Helen, who gave three wrong answers.

But will the votes follow the facts?

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

Donna. What did Jason do to upset you?

I kind of lost the plot a bit there,

but I did remember him getting a question wrong, so...

Right. OK.

He wasn't the weakest link, of course. Have you had enough of him?

-He voted for me in the first round.

-Ah, we went deep enough there. Good.

Josie. Why Jason?

-I just remember him getting a question wrong.

-Any other reason?

Well, he voted for me the last round!

Right. Good. OK.

Jason. The women just do not like you.

-No. Nothing new there.

-Nothing new there. Right. OK.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I don't feel happy about getting voted off.

I was not the weakest link, and as usual, one of the females...

It's a weak bunch of females... was the weakest link.

They're vindictive, as I voted for them before.

I'd like to see Donna go next. I've voted for her twice.

She weakened the chain. No-one had a chance to bank.

Round Five. Your total so far

is £1220 out of a possible £4000. There are five of you left.

There is another ten seconds coming off the time.

Who would have been better coming to London to sightsee today?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The only player to get all his questions right was Paul,

so he is the strongest link.

With the most incorrect answers, John is the weakest link.

But will the votes reflect reality?

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

Helen.

-How's it going?

-Not well. That round was better than the last one.

-Darth Vader.

He got the Star Wars question wrong.

-Oh! Do you know anyone else who got two questions wrong?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Right.

John, your mother said I'd be horrid. I won't disappoint her.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm ashamed. I don't think I'll be able to walk around Glossop,

and hold my head as high as I did.

I think Paul will go next. Either he'll have a bad round and will deserve to go,

or if it's borderline, I think the ladies may get together and get rid of him.

Round Six. You've won £1370 out of a possible £5000.

There are four of you left.

We have cut another ten seconds from your time.

Who doesn't deserve to stay and will cost you money

if they do? Time to vote off the weakest link.

For the third time, Donna is the strongest link.

Helen is the weakest link for the second time.

But who will collect the votes?

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

Paul. Why Josie?

She did slightly worse than me, and she's had a couple of bad rounds.

-She wasn't the weakest link statistically, of course, was she, Helen?

-No.

You thought the last round

wasn't good too. Or the one before. Why Josie?

Er... Just the Soviet Union question. I remembered that, and...

-That wasn't the last round.

-Was it the one before?

-Mmm.

Josie, you weren't the worst player.

But you've hung on long enough. With two votes, the team have decided you have to go.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was surprised to get as far as I did,

because I was very nervous at the beginning.

And the nerves didn't seem to fade at all.

I think Donna will probably win.

She started off really badly, but she gained in confidence as the show went on.

Round Seven. You have £1460

out of the £6000 you could have won by now. Three of you left.

Ten more seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link Donna.

You get worse as we go on.

You put away just £40 in that last round.

In Round Eight, you get a chance to treble what you bank.

That means, in the next round, there is £3000 to be won.

The question is, who is least likely to assist in raising the bank balance?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In a dramatic reversal of fortune, Helen is the strongest link,

and with six wrong answers, Donna has become the weakest link.

But at this crucial stage in the game, how will the voting go?

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

Helen. Not much sisterhood today going on?

No, but, you know.

You vote off the weakest. I think I was a bit stronger that round.

-She did vote for me twice before, as well.

-Right.

-Paul. Why Donna?

-You have to vote off someone, so it had to be Donna, I'm afraid.

Donna, with two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Considering I was the strongest link about three times in the game,

I think I deserve to win the money!

But obviously, I didn't. I think, on performance...

Probably...

Paul should win.

Round Eight. You've won £1500. You could, by now, of course, have won £7000.

Helen and Paul, just you two left.

You have only 90 seconds.

But whatever you win will be trebled and added

to your total to make up your final prize money.

So. £3000 is at stake.

We start with the strongest link from the last round Helen.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

That means prize money today of £1680.

But of course, only one of you can take that money away, so now,

you will play against each other head to head.

I'll ask alternate questions, best of five. Whoever gets the most right wins.

If it's a tie we'll go for sudden death till we have a winner.

So, Helen and Paul, for £1680, let's play The Weakest Link.
