0:36:29 > 0:36:33there is no doubt you are the strongest link overall.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41have voted you the weakest link. Goodbye.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I've been stitched up by the two that are left.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57Basically, they're just chickens.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Of Chris and Sue, it's difficult to say who I'd least like to win.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06They've both been horrible.
