10/07/2013 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants preparing for the show,

only one will take home prize money of up to #10,000.

The rest will leave with nothing as one by one they're voted 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'll have to work as a team.

But eight will leave with nothing as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm 34. I'm from Worcestershire and I am a chef.

I'm 52. I'm from County Durham and I'm a day service manager.

I'm 23. I'm from Linwood. I'm a building society assistant.

I'm 36. I live in London and I'm a secretary.

I'm 52. I'm from Rainhill in Merseyside.

I'm a health and safety inspector.

I'm 19. I'm from Hampshire and I'm a politics student.

I'm 43, from Wolverhampton and I'm unemployed.

I'm 36. I live in Bury and I'm a legal executive.

I'm 45. I'm from Brighton where I'm a teacher.

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly

to reach your #1,000 target within the time.

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

Get a question wrong, you lose the money in the chain.

Say "bank" before the question is asked, the money is safe but you start a new chain.

At the end of the round only banked money can be taken forward.

In Round One there are three minutes on the clock.

We'll start with whoever's name is first alphabetically.

That's Campbell.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In an impressive first round, Shaney is the strongest link.

According to the statistics, the weakest link is Lyn.

But at this early stage, will the others realise that?

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

-Why Francesca?

-I thought that she had lost the most money.

Well, statistically, Lyn, you were the worse player.

Francesca, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

They voted for me because I got some wrong.

I think they chose me because I'm a student.

I think Lyn will be voted off. She was the weakest link.

The team will remember in future rounds.

Round Two. You've won #950. There are eight of you left.

We take 10 seconds off.

We start with the strongest link from last time - Shaney.

I think Kevin gave the silliest answer.

He didn't know zabaglione, which, of course I did.

Lyn might be voted off next. She was the weakest link on the first round.

She seems a little hesitant.

Round Three, team. You've banked...

-Why Lyn?

-She got two questions wrong.

Lyn from Durham, you're no good at this.

-Not really, Anne.

-Why Piers?

I thought he got the same number of questions wrong as I did.

When the vote's tied, the strongest link has the vote. That was Justin who can't cook.

Why have you voted for Lyn?

I thought it was close between Piers and Lyn.

-He did better earlier.

-Do you want to change your mind?

I do not.

So, there you go.

Lyn, Durham dunce. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was lucky to make it to the third round.

I gave some awful answers in Round One.

That was due to nerves, Anne staring at me, and my mind going blank.

Piers may be voted off at the end of the next round.

It was a tie whether it was him or I this time.

Round Four.

You've won #1,500 out of a possible #3,000. There are six of you left.

As the only player to answer all his questions correctly,

Colin is the strongest link.

The weakest link is Campbell. He gave the most wrong answers.

But how will the votes go?

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

We have another tie, team.

Campbell and Piers. Two votes each.

No, I really do, Anne.

-What are you good at?

-I'm good at voting Campbell off.

-Why have you voted for him?

-Cos he keeps on voting for me.

He continually votes for me.

When the vote's tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

The strongest link in that round was nosey-parker, Colin.

-Why have you voted for Piers?

-I think - I suspect Campbell was

the weakest link in that round.

Holistically, I thought Piers was slightly weaker.

Holistically!?

Do you use that word a lot in health and safety?

-Hardly ever, Anne.

-Just as well(!)

-Do you want to change your mind?

-I'll stick to Piers.

Piers, back to Brighton. You are the weakest link, goodbye.

Well, I think Anne is...vicious, aggressive, vindictive.

She has something against teachers.

When she was at school, I think she was probably naughty,

got into a lot of trouble, and has disliked teachers ever since.

I think Campbell will go next. He's out of his depth.

He should have gone instead of me. I think he'll go next round, I hope he does.

Round Five, team.

Five of you left. Ten seconds off the time.

The strongest link is Shaney according to the statistics.

The weakest link is Campbell, for the second round in a row. Can he survive the vote?

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

Shaney,

you've voted for Kevin three times.

The first time I'd sort of lost the plot a bit, so I sort of picked on Kevin.

Then I thought he WAS the weakest link. And again this time.

-He hasn't been the weakest link in any single round, Shaney.

-Right.

-Campbell, why Kevin?

-Erm...

-I think he got two questions wrong, and it was a bad round for him.

-How do you think you did?

-I got three questions wrong, is that right?

-No.

You did statistics, so it's no surprise that you can't count.

-You got two questions wrong.

-Well, that was good.

No, that's not good at all.

That's very, very bad.

I got two right as well.

Statistically you were the worst player.

It's votes that count. Kevin, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

They voted me off because they'd been plotting. They was frightened I might win the money.

The next person to be voted off, I think, should be Shaney,

as she's voted for me every round.

I think she must have put her brain in the washing machine. She can't do a thing with it.

Round Six, team.

You've got in the kitty:

There are four of you left, another ten seconds off the time.

We'll start with the strongest link, Shaney.

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

We have another tie, team.

Campbell and Colin, two votes each.

-Campbell, you woke up in that round.

-It was a bit better.

Colin, what happened in that round?

Pop music and cooking aren't particularly my subjects.

Nor politics or animals.

-Why did you vote for Campbell?

-Going overall,

over all the rounds - the H word again - holistically.

Well try the U word - which is unfortunate.

Because the strongest link in the last round was Campbell.

-Campbell, who would you like to go?

-I'll have to say Colin.

You will. The health and safety officer who turns out to be a danger to the bank balance.

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

I've no problems with Campbell at all.

If I'd voted him off earlier, the situation may not have arisen.

I'll get a lot of kidding from the people at the St Helen's quiz, where I sometimes go.

They'll enjoy every question I got wrong and remind me of it.

Round Seven. And the bank balance sits at:

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

We'll start with the strongest link, Campbell.

-Shaney, how long have you been a secretary for?

-19 years, Anne.

-When you started, did you have a computer?

-I started on a typewriter.

-You didn't know a simple question about a typewriter.

-I know.

-How long since you've used one?

-I still use one.

-Why Campbell?

-Because there wasn't any money for me to bank that time.

-Justin the chef,

what's this toast and peach dessert called Kiri Te Kanawa?

I know a lot of desserts, but I don't know any opera singers.

-Why Campbell?

-I thought he was the weaker of the two players, and I will always try

-and vote off the weakest link.

-Aren't you a good person(?)

Campbell, it's been a delight to have you here. Statistically you were the worst player.

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

It's quite upsetting to be voted off so close to the last round, but I was lucky to get as far as I did.

I'd like to see Justin lose out of the two that are left.

He voted for me throughout the game. I hope he doesn't win.

Round Eight, team.

Out of a possible #7,000, you've banked so far:

Two of you left and you have 90 seconds.

Whatever you win in this round will be trebled and added to your total to make up your final prize.

We'll start with the strongest link from the last round, that's Shaney.
