17/04/2009 Weakest Link

Here are the nine contestants

preparing for today's show.

Only one of them will win up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing,

when voted off as the weakest link.

Welcome to the Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in this studio, here today,

could win up to £10,000.

They've only just met, but to get the prize money,

they'll have to work together.

However, eight will leave with nothing,

as round by round we lose the player voted

the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

I'm Garry, I'm 50, I'm from Great Yarmouth and I'm a window cleaner.

I'm Alex, I'm 20, from Liverpool and I'm a student at Nottingham.

I'm Terry, I'm 70, from Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire

and I'm a shipping consultant.

I'm Danielle, 42, from Jersey

and I'm an administrator for speech and language therapy.

I'm Matt, I'm 24, I'm from Brighton and I'm a venue manager.

I'm Cynthia, I'm 65, I come from Letchworth and I'm retired.

I'm Carl, I'm 47, I'm from Stoke Newington and I'm a caretaker.

I'm Teresa, I'm 38, I'm from Cardiff and I'm a leisure centre assistant.

I'm Callum, I'm 19, I'm from Lancashire

and I'm a colour glass designer.

Just to remind you, in each round there's £1,000 to be won.

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

Break the chain, and you lose all the money in that chain.

Say "bank" before the question is asked, and the money is safe.

According to the statistics, Matt is the first strongest link.

The weakest link is Cynthia,

but who will the players vote off at this early stage of the game?

-Why Cynthia?

Er, cos she got her first question wrong.

What do you do, Carl?

I'm a caretaker, Anne.

Are you? Where?

Um, in Clapham.

And if they're stuck, couldn't you just help out?

I don't think I... I'd get stage fright, Anne.

-Would you? Have you got stage fright today?

-A little.

Why Cynthia?

Unfortunately she got one of the questions wrong, Anne.

-Do you not like the way she spells her name, Carl?

Wouldn't it have been easier just to go onto benefits straightaway?

Rather than bothering with the film studies?

Probably, yeah.

Why Cynthia?

Unfortunately, she got a question wrong and didn't bank at the end of the round.

Cynthia, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

When I came to the show today,

I expected to get at least second or third.

I knew I wouldn't get all the way, but that didn't matter,

just as long as I appeared on the show.

My daughter did say, before I came on the show,

"Don't forget to bank, Mum." And obviously I did.

Round Two. In the bank, £750.

And if I just wanted to come along and change the way I spoke,

could you fix that?

Might be able to be arranged, Anne.

And if there was someone really stupid from Liverpool,

would you be able to help them?

I'd try and persuade them that they didn't require helping.

But they would, wouldn't they?

I quite like the Liverpool accent.

So why are you voting Alex off?

Because I know she got one question wrong in this round.

And I think she got one wrong in a previous round.

Alex, this is the second round.

That's one...two.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I thought Matt should have gone in the last round because he got an obvious question wrong.

And I banked before I answered my question, so we banked the money.

Because I think he got at least two questions wrong.

He did! Callum, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

When I get back to work, my colleagues will be surprised I didn't go first round.

I think Carl will be voted off next

because I think there's just a bit of cahoots going on

between Danielle and Matt.

They're next to one another and, um, I think Carl will be off.

Matt.

Matt.

We have another tie, Teresa and Matt this time.

Two votes each.

Teresa, why Matt?

Cos I know we all got some wrong, but I can't vote for myself, can I?

Matt, why Teresa?

I kind of lost track of what was going on and I just

kind of think that, perhaps...maybe that was the right one.

I kind of think it wasn't, Matt.

Oh. I know.

As the strongest link gets to decide.

The strongest link was Teresa. Who would you like to get rid of, Teresa?

Ooh, got to be Matt, sorry.

Matt! You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

My banter with Anne was stressful

because I got all flustered and I felt that I wasn't,

you know, pronouncing my words properly etc. I got all hot under the collar.

Before that, time to vote off the weakest link.

I think she might have got a couple of questions wrong, Anne.

She did.

Teresa, why Danielle?

Cos I know we both got questions wrong and I can't vote for myself.

She was the worst player. Danielle, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

When it got to five of us, I made up my mind to do some tactical voting

and start voting the stronger links off.

Which I felt, emotionally, that I didn't want to do to people

I might have supported previously, but they then became threats

and that's when my cut-throat attitude jumped in.

Round Eight. You have £1,860.

This round, 90 seconds, but whatever you win will be trebled.

We'll start with the strongest link, that's Carl.
