0:13:26 > 0:13:28You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38It seemed that most of my questions were geography, which is not my strong point.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Anyone who knows me will say that! I got the wrong questions.
0:13:43 > 0:13:49I think Bryan will be off next, because the team will have paid notice that he WAS the Weakest Link.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Round 3, team. So far, you've banked...

0:27:56 > 0:28:03"If you're in that position, don't change your mind." So I'll have to stick with Bryan

0:28:10 > 0:28:14You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.
0:28:19 > 0:28:26I thought I'd get down to the last three. I've done nowhere near as well as I thought I'd do.
0:28:26 > 0:28:33I think Lyn will be off next. She's weak in a lot of areas. Frankly, she's been getting away with murder.

0:28:36 > 0:28:41You're down to four players. Another 10 seconds coming off your time.

0:31:16 > 0:31:23As the only player to answer all his questions correctly, Richard is the strongest link.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Maria is the Weakest Link, as she gave the most wrong answers.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52Kevin, why Maria?
0:31:52 > 0:31:58If anybody was going to vote for anybody other than me it would be Maria,
0:31:58 > 0:32:05- so I felt I should vote for that to stand a chance of surviving. - Try and say that more simply.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Why Kevin?
0:32:41 > 0:32:47I think Maria got one or two questions right, cos I could bank something.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52I don't think Maria had a chance, so I think Kevin was the worst player.
0:32:52 > 0:32:58- And you're not going to change your vote?- I can't upset my daughter, Anne.- No, OK.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03Statistically, interestingly, Richard, Maria was the worst player.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05But it IS votes that count!

0:33:18 > 0:33:21I'm disappointed to be voted off.
