16/05/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine preparing for today's show,

only one will take home the prize of up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing after they are voted 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 to win, they must work as a team.

Eight of them will leave with nothing,

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

Let's meet the team.

My name's Ron. I'm 53. I work at Heathrow Airport and I'm from Slough.

I'm Matthew, 26, a chartered accountant from Carlisle.

I'm Jane, 54. I'm a retired teacher originally from Somerset.

I'm Adrian, 19. I'm an English student from Surrey.

I'm Bernie. I'm 49, from Cornwall, and I run a garage-door company.

I'm Ann. I'm 57. I'm retired and I live in London.

I'm Louise, 23, a civil servant from Leicestershire.

I'm Dom. I'm 32. I'm a civil servant from Liverpool.

I'm Pamela. I'm 44. I'm a contracts manager from Perth.

In each round, the aim is to get enough questions correct

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

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

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

If you say "bank" before a question,

the money is safe. However, you start a new chain.

At the end of the round, only banked money can be taken forward.

Round One is three minutes. We start with the person who is first alphabetically.

That's Adrian. Let's play The Weakest Link.

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In this first round, the strongest link statistically is Dom.

The worst player is Ron, who got most of his questions wrong,

but he did bank the most money.

But will they take this into account when voting?

It's time

to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

A tie. Matthew and Adrian have three votes each.

Matthew, why Adrian?

Someone who doesn't know where the jugular is should be voted off.

-That's worse than not having heard of tie-dye?

-Yes.

Ann.

-Why Matthew?

-I remember him getting a question wrong.

It was one I knew the answer to.

Right.

-Dom, why Adrian?

-As Matthew said, the jugular. He didn't go for it.

-I have to tell you,

when the vote is tied,

the strongest link has the deciding vote.

Dom, that's you. You can change your mind if you like.

I'll go with my original decision.

Adrian, Dom wants you out. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was glad to leave the tense situation

and leave the team to get on with it. I hope they do well.

I think Ron should go next. He strikes me as a bit of a mullet.

He's hesitating. He's not really there.

He should go. He's costing them money.

Round Two.

You've won £470 so far

out of a possible £1,000.

Remember, dawdlers and dimwits have no place here.

One of you is about to leave. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Dom is the strongest link for the second time. The worst player

is Pamela, having lost the team money.

Will the votes follow the facts?

It is time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Right, team, we have a tie. Ann and Ron have three votes each.

-Ron, why Ann?

-I heard one question wrong. That's all I can remember.

-Not got much of a memory, then?

-No.

-Hopeful for the rest of the team(!)

Ann, why Ron?

Again, I remembered one question wrong.

Right.

Again, when the vote is tied, the strongest link has to decide. Dom?

Me again? I'm sticking with my original decision. Ron.

Ron, he still wants to get rid of you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was disappointed. I wasn't angry, because I knew I'd made mistakes.

I was really disappointed. I wanted to be out there. I want to go back!

Ann will go next. She isn't as confident as the others

and she did get at least one wrong I noticed in the last round.

You could have won £2,000 by now.

You've managed only £970. You are down to seven players.

Never mind! You've got a chartered account(!)

Another 10 seconds comes off the clock. We start with the strongest link.

That's Dom. Let's play The Weakest Link.

That is the correct answer, but your time was up.

In that round, having got rid of two apparently weaker links,

you only banked £200, so who are you now going to send packing?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

With three correct answers and banking £100 for the team, Louise is the strongest player.

The weakest player is Matthew who gave the least correct answers.

But how will the voting go?

It is time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Pamela, how did you do in that round?

Not well.

Why Ann?

PAMELA: I think Ann's...been poor in most of the rounds.

-What have you been like in most of them?

-Pretty good, until this round.

-You were worse than Ann in this round.

-I think I was. Yes.

Matthew,

-how was that round for you?

-It was appalling and I consider myself a lucky boy after that.

You ARE a lucky boy.

Statistically, you were the worst player.

I'll hang my head in shame.

-Ann, what happened in that round?

-I forgot to bank the money.

You think as you've got a bad memory,

-this show was a good idea?

-I think so.

-Not for much longer.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I had an appalling round the one before, so I deserve to come off.

I should have got the question about sea lions right.

If I'd had a couple of seconds, I'd have got it. I passed too quickly.

Pamela might go next. She's been answering fewer questions correctly.

Round Four.

In the bank so far:

Out of a potential prize money of £3,000.

There's six of you left and you've still got an accountant with you(!)

10 more seconds off the clock. The strongest link starts.

Time is up.

I cannot complete the question.

In the round, you banked just £280. Kindness and charity

are not going to put money in the bank.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The strongest link is Bernie. He answered all his questions correctly and banked the most money.

Dom has gone from being the strongest link in the first two rounds to the weakest link.

But will his previous success save him?

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Jane, why Dom?

It was a disastrous round for him. He's been brilliant until now.

-Dom, did they not teach you about the Scilly Isles?

-I held my atlas upside down!

Dom, you were the worst player. It's a great pity

your atlas was the wrong way round.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It's disappointing being voted off at that stage.

I thought I had a chance, but...

I think Louise will be voted off next.

She missed out on a few answers

and not always banked when she could have done.

Round Five.

Of the £4,000 you could have won by now,

your total is an unimpressive £1,450.

Five left. 10 more seconds come off the time.

Bernie starts. Let's play The Weakest Link.

The time is up.

In that round, despite only answering four questions incorrectly,

you banked

a disappointing £360.

Who don't you like? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Jane is the strongest link, statistically.

Having survived once, the weakest link for the second time

is Pamela, but can she survive another vote?

It is time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Louise, why Pamela?

She's not been doing too well over a couple of rounds.

It was a hard decision, but I thought

she was losing it a little in this round, as well.

-Bernie, why Pamela?

-She got a couple wrong I could have answered.

-You didn't answer all yours correctly.

-I didn't.

Pamela, what happened to you?

-A bad round, I'm afraid.

-Yeah. One of many bad rounds.

Well, I did well to begin with, I think.

You are the weakest link. Unanimously, the team have voted you the weakest link. Goodbye.

The difficult thing is that you probably know most of the answers,

but under the pressure of answering quickly, you say something completely stupid.

I think Matthew will go next.

The others are so strong. He has been there by the skin of his teeth since Round One.

Round Six.

You've won £1,810, so far, out of a possible £5,000.

Four players left.

Another 10 seconds are cut from your time.

The strongest link is Jane. Let's play The Weakest Link.

What a fantastic dive downhill!

In that round, you won a pathetic £70.

Who has clearly lost the plot? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

With the most correct answers, Bernie is the strongest link for the second time.

Matthew is the weakest link also for the second time. But how will the voting go?

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

A tie. Louise and Matthew have two votes each.

-Matthew, why Louise?

-She was doing well at the start. It was between us.

We both got two wrong and didn't bank much.

You got THREE questions wrong.

-Louise, why Matthew?

-I remember his face every time he got one wrong.

What did his face look like, Louise?

-It dropped!

-You're voting him off for his dropped face.

Bernie, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote. You voted for Louise.

She wasn't the weakest link. You can change your mind.

-Who would you like to get rid of?

-I'll have to stick with Louise.

-Why?

-A tactical vote, because I think Louise is the biggest danger.

-You're not playing as a team player any more?

-At this stage, you've got to play for yourself.

Louise, because Bernie is a coward and you are opposition,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I am annoyed at being voted off at this stage.

I was doing well and I was the only one that banked.

It was a poor round and we didn't bank much, but I did bank that £70.

Bernie is using tactics. I'm a better player, so he wanted me out of the way.

Round Seven.

You have £1,880 out of the £6,000 you could have won.

Three of you left.

10 seconds off the clock. Bernie starts. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up.

After all that work, you only managed to answer four questions correctly and bank £40.

In Round Eight, you treble what you bank. That means there's £3,000 to be won.

The question is, who will do you no favours?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the third time, and with four correct answers, Bernie is the strongest link.

With five wrong answers, Matthew is the weakest link yet again.

At this crucial stage, on what basis will they make their choice?

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

Bernie, why Jane?

There wasn't much to choose between them in that round.

Since it's you, you think Jane is bigger opposition for the final.

No. There might be lots of questions on accountancy(!)

Matthew, why Jane?

-I couldn't vote for Bernie. I...

-Why couldn't you vote for Bernie?

MATTHEW: He got more right than Jane.

Jane, you were NOT statistically the weakest link. But, I'm afraid, you are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I'm so peeved I was voted off. I wasn't the weakest link.

I hadn't been all the way through. Bernie thought I might beat him.

I voted for Matthew three times. He was getting up my nose a bit.

I think Bernie will win. I hope he wins.

He's West Country, same as me!

Round Eight.

Of the £7,000 you could have won by now,

you have in the bank just £1,920.

Bernie and Matthew. Two of you left.

This time there is only 90 seconds. Whatever you win in this round

will be trebled and added to your total to make up your final prize money.

£3,000 is at stake.

We'll start with the strongest link.

Bernie. Let's play The Weakest Link.

You will now be playing against each other head-to-head.

I'll ask alternate questions.
