15/05/2013 Weakest Link

Here are today's nine contestants.

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 off as the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

They don't know each other,

but if they want the money, they'll have to work as a team

but eight of them will leave with nothing

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

I'm Rob, I'm 26, I'm a design engineer from Andover in Hampshire.

My name's Kathryn, I'm 31. I'm a housewife and mother and from Derby.

My name is Jeff, I'm 44.

I'm from Church Crookham, Hampshire and I'm a company director.

I'm Anne, I'm 23, I'm from Washington in Tyne and Wear,

and I study chemistry.

My name's Andy, I'm 39,

I'm from Nottingham, and I'm a dentist.

I'm Leigh, 24, from Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire,

and I'm a football researcher.

I'm from Torpoint in Southeast Cornwall and I'm a security guard.

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

to reach your £1,000 target in the time.

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

Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose the money.

Say "Bank" before the question and the money is safe,

but you start a new chain.

At the end of the round, only money that is banked is taken forward.

In round one there are three minutes on the clock.

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

That's you, Andy. Let's play The Weakest Link.

-Rob had a really bad run of questions and got them all wrong.

He has to be the weakest link.

Anne, are you a housewife?

No, I'm a student. I study chemistry at Leeds.

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

I would have thought someone who studied chemistry at Leeds

would know what V were tiny movements.

I'm gutted. I was thinking waves and my mind went blank.

Rob was the worst player.

A design engineer who needs to go back to the drawing board.

I expected to get all the way and win a big wad of money

but those were just awful questions, anyone would struggle.

I'd like Jeff to come off. He's a director, he doesn't need any money.

Round three.

You've won £1,150 out of a possible £2,000. You're down to seven.

We're taking another ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link, Leigh! Let's play The Weakest Link.

Oh. Does anyone want to buy you?

Erm...probably. Although I'm not that good at football.

You didn't get them all right.

I had a bit of a dud question there.

For an acting police inspector, you only got one right.

I think that was more than Anne.

Statistically, Anne was the worst.

Slim but dim. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think it's a fair decision

but I think I did badly cos Anne really scared us in the round before.

I fluffed it.

Beverly, do you not like Paul?

Yes, he's a nice enough man, but he likes dogs and I like cats.

You don't like dogs?

I don't mind dogs, but I'd rather have cats.

-Why have you voted for Paul?

Oh. Well, statistically,

Paul was the worst player. It'd be fair to say he's made a dog's dinner

of his performance here.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I can go home with my head held high, apart from the cricket question.

I will be chastised mercilessly by my family because I am mad on sport.

She had a poor round. She's been steady up to now,

-but the cracks are starting to show.

-Did you have a good round?

-I fluffed a maths question, which I'm annoyed about.

-Beverly,

why Jeff?

Erm, I don't think he did very well then.

And it's bad enough being an estate agent without making out you're a company director as well.

When the vote is tied, the strongest link decides.

And that was Kathryn. Why did you vote for Beverly?

I thought she got more questions wrong than anybody else.

-She's done well up to now...

-You can either stick with Beverly

or you can switch your vote to Jeff.

I'm going to stick with Beverley, because I feel isolated.

Silly reason, but also I do feel she was weaker.

You are absolutely right.

Statistically, Beverly was the worst. You are the weakest link, goodbye.

Kathryn and Jeff had a little clique going towards the end there.

Susan will probably go next, although I want her to win.

Round seven. Out of a possible £6,000,

you have in the kitty £1,740.

Three of you left.

Girl power or stupidity. Take home whatever reason you want, Jeff.

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

Susan should be stood here, she's been weak overall.

Kathryn will win it, she's been so steady and consistent.

Round eight, and out of a possible £7,000

you have so far banked £1,910.

In this round you have just 90 seconds.

Whatever you win will be trebled and added to your total

to make up your prize money, so £3,000 is at stake.

We'll start with the strongest link. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

It's great to get the money. I'm looking forward to spending it.

I thought I'd get to round five then be voted off.

I didn't get nominated once and I feel great about my performance,

just fed up that I didn't get the money.

I didn't deserve to win. Kathryn was stronger.

She deserved to take the money back, but I'm not giving it to her.
