0:27:17 > 0:27:22The difficult thing is that you probably know most of the answers,
0:27:22 > 0:27:29but under the pressure of answering quickly, you say something completely stupid.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I think Matthew will go next.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56A tie. Louise and Matthew have two votes each.

0:31:40 > 0:31:46- Why?- A tactical vote, because I think Louise is the biggest danger.
0:31:46 > 0:31:54- You're not playing as a team player any more?- At this stage, you've got to play for yourself.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Louise, because Bernie is a coward and you are opposition,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01you are the weakest link. Goodbye.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10I am annoyed at being voted off at this stage.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14I was doing well and I was the only one that banked.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19It was a poor round and we didn't bank much, but I did bank that £70.
0:32:19 > 0:32:25Bernie is using tactics. I'm a better player, so he wanted me out of the way.
