0:18:02 > 0:18:04No good with children?
0:18:04 > 0:18:10As I got older, the age gap got too big between me and them. I wasn't on their wavelength.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Not on John's wavelength?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Difficult to call. I think one or two people got one wrong.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Well, we'll see if we can. Why John?
0:19:42 > 0:19:47Why John? Some of his answers have been right off the planet.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Statistically, John was worst. With five votes you are the weakest link.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Maybe Olivier isn't big in Scotland. Goodbye.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I feel disappointed being voted off after the third round.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I did well in the second.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12I'd like to see Steve voted off next
