08/11/2012 Weakest Link

Here are the contestants preparing for today's show.

One will take home prize money of up to £10,000.

The rest of the team will leave with nothing

as, one by one, they are 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, if they want the 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 Chris. I'm 54, from Ponders End and a retired train driver.

My name is Deborah. I'm 22, from Southsea.

I'm a recruitment consultant.

I'm Arthur. I'm 60, from Swindon, Wilts.

I'm a building site manager.

I'm Mark. I'm 21, from Lincoln. I'm a barman.

I'm Kay. I'm 54. I live near Carmarthen.

I'm a clerical worker in the NHS.

I'm Seamus. I'm 31. I come from Derry. I work for a credit union.

I'm Mari. I'm 43. I live in Preston and I'm a prison officer.

I'm Lisa, aged 32 from Birkenhead.

I'm an HR and payroll support assistant.

I'm David, aged 44 from Ashton-under-Lyne.

I'm a business advisor.

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.

If you break the chain, you lose the money. But if you say "bank"

before the question is asked, the money is safe

but you start a new chain from scratch.

Only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

In Round One there are three minutes.

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

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

I think at 60 he should know his left from his right.

Right. Well, Arthur, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel pathetic about being voted off. The questions I got wrong were so simple.

How I did it, I don't know.

Lisa might be voted off next because she's just as nervous as me, although I was more so.

Round Two, team. So far you've won £650 out of a possible £1000.

I've got an A-level in geography and a GCSE.

I didn't know Thetford was in Norfolk.

-Why Deborah?

-Brussels, wasn't it? Plus she owes me a drink.

-Her geography's not good enough for you?

-No, mine's a lot better.

Seamus...was the worst player.

But it's votes that count.

Deborah, who doesn't know about penguins,

with four votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm annoyed I was voted off, and disappointed.

Seamus was the weakest link, not me.

I wish the others had spotted that.

I'd like Chris to be voted off next.

Before the show he was miserable.

And he wasn't very talkative.

Round Three, team.

You've won £850 so far out of a possible £2000.

But whose game is now over?

Voting over.

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

OK, team.

In the last round you managed to answer 10 questions correctly in a row.

and not banked too early, you would have reached your target.

Did you bank early, Chris?

I must have done.

-What sort of people annoy you, Chris?

-Nerds.

Gricers. Which is a derogatory term for trainspotters.

-Why have you voted for Mark twice? Is he a nerd?

-No.

I think it's a generational thing

but when I was at school I was taught to do simple sums.

-Maybe Mark is calculator dependent.

-What do you do, David?

-A business advisor.

-What is that?

-I advise businesses and they ignore me.

-Why Mark?

-Because 450 divided by 5 is not 75.

Mark was not the weakest link.

Lisa, who thinks Birkenhead is on a par with Liverpool, was.

It's votes that count.

So, Mark, the barman who can't add up,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm annoyed about being voted off. I was not the weakest.

Lisa and Mari were worse than me.

I got one on maths and the older ones picked on me.

Chris should be voted off next. He's cocky and he's voted for me twice.

Round Four and you've got £1500 out of a potential prize money of £3000.

I'm disappointed that I was voted off. I wish I was up there trying to beat Chris.

The one who shouldn't be in the game any longer is Seamus.

He didn't know that a shark was a fish. He thought it was a mammal and that is bad.

Round Six. You've won £1,990 out of a possible £5,000. Four of you left.

She wasn't the weakest, was she, Mari?

She wasn't. I think that might have been me.

-Why did you vote for Kay?

-The Bon Jovi question. She's struggling a bit and I'm being kind to her.

Statistically, Mari was the worst player.

But it's votes that count. Kay, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was angry they voted me off.

I really didn't expect it.

I've been strong up to now.

But that may be behind it.

Kill the threat when it's down to four.

I'm sure Chris will win. He has hardly got a question wrong.

He's boring, but he can't help that.

Round Seven. So far you've won...

..out of a possible £6,000.

Three left. 10 more seconds off the time.

Starting with our strongest link Chris,

to be courageous enough

to hang on to the best players.

who will lose out in the voting?

Voting over. Time to see who you say is the weakest link.

Well, when the chips are down, it's dog eat dog...

Seamus, why have you voted for Chris?

Cos I'm a coward.

Cos you're a coward.

Well, that's a better explanation than Mari. Chris...

you have failed to answer any question incorrectly.

You are the best we have had on the show. But...

you're too good for Seamus and Mari.

The two have voted you off. Goodbye, Chris.

Very disappointing to fight through to the last three,

with no incorrect answers,

then to be voted off

because the other two daren't face me in the final. It proves

in this country, and the world,

mediocrities rule.

Round Eight. You have won...

..out of a possible £7,000.

Seamus and Mari, you have 90 seconds.

But whatever you win in this round

Chris would have probably won.

He was one of the strongest contestants I've ever seen.

So, tactically, it was better to get rid of him.

but when it came to it, I did. I'm surprised at myself.

It's amazing to have won. I'm still in shock.

But I hope it'll live with me for the rest of my life.
