0:07:58 > 0:08:02because I realised that by banking I stood out from the crowd.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07I voted for Jack. He failed to bank when we'd already got the £1,000.

0:15:05 > 0:15:10- Why Ruth?- She did hesitate and she did get a question wrong.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Ruth, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24In that round, three of us got a question wrong,
