Welcome to the Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:32

Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to £10,000.

0:00:330:00:38

They've only just met, but to get the prize money,

0:00:380:00:42

they'll have to work together.

0:00:420:00:44

However, eight will leave with nothing, as round by round

0:00:440:00:50

we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

-Behind your podium!

0:07:020:07:07

Put your board up. Why Marcus?

0:07:070:07:10

0:07:100:07:12

-What sort of accident?

-I chopped my finger off.

0:08:290:08:33

-Receding, I'd like to call it.

-OK, put your hat on again.

-Thank you.

0:08:330:08:38

Put your board up. Why Marcus?

0:08:380:08:42

The question about the "I" was quite easy, so that's why Marcus!

0:08:420:08:48

Marcus, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

0:08:480:08:51

To be voted off first in the Weakest Link has made me furious

0:08:580:09:01

with myself, because I didn't listen to the question properly,

0:09:010:09:05

I was too nervous.

0:09:050:09:06

0:32:200:32:25

I got two and he got three. I could be wrong!

0:32:290:32:32

-Kris, why Kellymarie?

-I think she got two wrong,

0:32:320:32:34

so we're equal and I can't vote for myself.

And the strongest link was Annette. What do you do, Annette?

0:32:410:32:45

Really? And was it love at first sight?

0:33:090:33:12

It actually pretty well was, yes.

0:33:120:33:16

Why do you want to get rid of Kellymarie?

0:33:160:33:19

I just remember her getting two wrong. I didn't realise Kris actually got two wrong as well.

0:33:190:33:24

OK. Well, you've a choice now.

0:33:240:33:27

You can stick with Kellymarie or you can move to Kris.

0:33:270:33:30

No, I said I'd always stick. So I will stick with Kellymarie.

0:33:300:33:33

Sorry.

0:33:330:33:35

Kellymarie! You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
