But who will be the first to take the walk of shame? | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
Elaine. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
Elaine. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |

Gillian. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
Gillian. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Gillian. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |

Elaine. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-What do you do, Gillian? -I'm a veterinary surgeon. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |

OK, you've done that very well. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
So when I asked you what 22 plus 4 was and you said 24... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:50 | |
-Yes. -..how did that work? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-Just nerves. -Why Elaine? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
I mean, I got a question wrong, but she got one wrong that I think was more than just nerves. | 0:06:54 | 0:07:00 | |
-Where are you from, Becky? -Suffolk. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
-And what do you do? -I'm a law student in Aberdeen. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
So are you going to be a solicitor or a barrister? | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
Erm, the original idea was to be a barrister. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
-Yes. -And I'd still like to do that. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-Be in court and argue and stuff. That'd be good. -Yes. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
-A bit a of cut-throat business. -It is. -No win, no fee, | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
defend anyone whether they're guilty or not guilty. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
This is why I probably couldn't go into criminal law. Morally I wouldn't be able to do that. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:29 | |
Why? You don't think you could charge enough? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
-I could charge quite a lot. -Who would you like to defend? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |

-Yes. -Someone whose human rights had been breached. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-So you don't want anything difficult. -I think that'd be difficult enough. -Why Elaine? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
Erm, I think... Well, obviously she got a question wrong | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
and Gillian did, as well, and Manny, but Gillian's was a maths question, which can be quite hard, | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
and I think the shower one was quite obvious. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
So, Manny, have you just come from the boat race? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-Erm, looks like it, Anne, doesn't it? -Yes. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-What do you do? -I'm a sales rep. -Selling what? -Drugs. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
Do you come from a long line of drug pushers? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
-Not particularly, no. My father used to sell, as well, but... -Really? | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
-He was a pharmaceutical rep, was he? -No, he used to sell aeroplanes. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Did he? And your grandfather? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-My grandfather used to sell antiques. -And the one before him? | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
Er, we're going way back now, pre-revolution. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-What do you mean? -Before the Russian Revolution. I don't think they had to work then. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
-You're from Russia, are you? -Not personally, but the family is. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
Really? Are you posh Russian? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-Yes, posh Russian. -How posh? -I'm a white Russian prince. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-And so are you connected to our royal family? -I am, yes. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-Are you in line to the throne? -A long way down the line to the throne. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
Really? Do you think it'd help if you threw that jacket away? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
It might do, Anne, yes. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-Why Elaine? -Elaine passed on one. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
That's the only thing I can think. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
Elaine, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
I will have trouble living this down because I know a lot of people, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
I've got two pubs and restaurants and they'll all be in asking me how I got on | 0:09:20 | 0:09:26 | |
and I'm going to have to tell them the inevitable, I'm afraid. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |

-What would that cost me? -We charge various prices for the buffets or meals. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |

Because he got questions wrong, as well, but I banked. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
When the vote's tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |

-And what do you charge for that? -As much as I can get away with. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
So if, for example, I brought along | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |

-Why Mark? -Er, he got a really obvious question wrong, I thought. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:16 | |
-You have a choice. Mark or Dave? -I'm going to stick with Mark. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
