14/11/2012 Weakest Link

Only one of the nine preparing for today's show will win up to £10,000.

The rest of the team will leave with nothing, as, one by one, they're voted off

as 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 are strangers. If they want the prize money, they must work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

as, round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm Les, 57, from Greenock. I'm a retired supply analyst.

I'm Alison, 41, from Sidmouth, and I'm a primary school administrator.

I'm Karen. I'm 26, from Twickenham, and I'm a croupier.

I'm Paul, 32, from Brampton, Cumbria. I'm a security guard.

I'm Anthony, 18, from Birmingham, and I'm a student.

I'm Berni, 36. I'm from West Sussex and I'm a fitness instructor.

I'm David. I'm 26, from Belfast, and I'm working as a courier.

I'm Chris. I'm 41. Liversedge, West Yorkshire. Bar manager.

In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit.

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

A wrong question breaks the chain and you lose the money.

If you 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.

Round One

-That's what people think we shout.

-No, I don't hunt.

-Why Karen?

-Unfortunately, she did get three questions wrong.

-Statistically, Karen was the worst player.

Perhaps she's better at the roulette wheel,

than she is behind a car wheel.

You are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I haven't told anybody I'd be here and I don't intend to!

I think Alison is out for herself. The rest of them should beware.

Why Les?

I feel that he lost us money. I know I got a question wrong, but I banked

before my question, so I didn't lose money.

-Paul, what do you do?

-I'm a security guard.

-How do you frighten people?

-By my appearance!

Why not have an Alsatian?

They make too much noise. I'm quiet. They don't have to pay me as much!

-Why Les?

-A few of us got a question wrong, but he was the only one that really lost us any money.

Well, statistically, ALISON was the worst player.

But it's votes that count.

Les,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to be voted off. I wasn't the weakest link.

The next off will be Berni or Alison,

as they got questions wrong in the first two rounds.

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

-getting any wrong.

-Was she the weakest link?

-No. I assumed I was.

Who was was the weakest link, David?

-I would say it was me.

-That's correct. Why Alison?

I think myself and Berni both had a bit of a bad round that time.

I think Alison did, as well.

But Berni and I are better overall.

Well, statistically, David was the worst player.

But it's votes that count, and Alison has got them.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm annoyed because I wasn't the weakest link.

There was a group who voted for me and I was suspicious

that maybe they were voting together.

I think Berni should be standing here.

She had two questions wrong. I only had one.

The ones she got wrong were quite easy.

Round Four. £1770 banked so far out of potential prize money of £3000.

Six of you left. Another 10 seconds off your time.

You have 2½ minutes. We'll start with the strongest link.

As the only person to answer all his questions correctly,

Paul is the strongest link for the first time.

The weakest link is Berni, who got all her answers wrong.

I have to secure the premises and call the police and call control.

-You don't go and fight them, then?

That was a bad round for all of us.

Berni got more wrong than anybody else.

-Anthony.

-Yes, Anne.

-Have you ever had a job?

-I've been a security guard.

-That must have scared the robbers (!)

I normally work the night shift so they can't see who it is.

as David, but she hesitated a bit more in that round.

Berni the fitness instructor,

it's time for her to jog off.

With three votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

They've made a big mistake getting rid of me.

I banked a lot of money and now there's going to be a lot less money

for the winner. And I'm glad.

Anthony will be next.

He's 18. The questions will get harder.

And that will be his stumbling block.

Round Five. Your total so far is £1990.

If you'd hit your targets, it would be £4000.

Another ten seconds coming off the time.

Statistically, David is the strongest link.

The weakest link is Anthony.

Chris banked the most money.

But will the votes follow the facts?

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

We have a tie between Nicola and Chris. Two votes each.

-Nicola.

-Yes, Anne.

-Why Chris?

I couldn't forgive him not knowing about the Dire Straits album.

-Chris.

-Anne.

-What excuse have you got for voting for Nicola?

I believe...

Most of us got one wrong. Nicola got two wrong.

I didn't know Dire Straits but I knew Travis.

When the votes are tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

David, why did you vote for Chris?

To be honest, it was a bit of a toss-up.

Chris maybe needs to get back to mixing cocktails.

-You can change your mind.

-I don't think so.

Chris, whose cocktails come out of a bottle, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm really devastated to be voted off so early.

I feel I was playing quite well.

Obviously, Anne's spent too much time in cocktail bars.

She's welcome in my club. Whether she gets served is up to me.

Round Six. So far you've won £2410 out of a possible £5000.

There are four of you left.

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

Young Anthony...

why David?

He was the only person to get two questions wrong in that round.

As simple as that.

-Nicola, why David?

-I think the nerves got to him on that round,

having had a fantastic round the one before.

He got two questions wrong.

His memory got back to Belfast before him.

He can join it now. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm annoyed with myself and the others for voting me off in that round.

I don't believe I should have been. Nicola will go next.

I think she's getting very nervous, which she accused me of getting.

Nicola must be the hot favourite to go off next.

Round Seven. You've won £2,710 out of £6,000 you could have won.

Three of you left.

Ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link, Paul.

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

Anthony?

-Yes?

-You're getting rid of the girl?

I didn't really have much choice there.

There was only two people, and Paul was by far the best.

Paul, why Nicola?

Purely on the fact she's done really well so far,

but she had a bad round.

I think too many pop questions.

Time to round up the cattle. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was very disappointed to be voted off, but I deserved it.

I should be named the missing link. It all went missing in that round.

I think Paul's most likely to win, because he has been consistent all the way through.

Anthony has probably made too many mistakes, and may be nervous.

Round Eight. You've won £2,860 so far, out of a possible £7,000.

Paul and Anthony, just you two left.

This time you have only 90 seconds.

Whatever you win in this round is trebled and added to your total.

Whoever answers the most correctly wins.

If there's a tie we play sudden death until we have a winner.
