17/04/2012 Weakest Link

'Here are today's nine contestants, preparing for the show.

'Only one will win up to £10,000.

'The others will leave with nothing,

'as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.'

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people here today could win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other but to win, they'll have to work as a team.

Eight will leave with nothing,

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm 31, I'm a bridal shop owner from Doncaster in South Yorkshire.

I'm 46, I'm a fireman from Leicester.

I'm 24, from Kent. I'm currently temping in London.

I'm 66 and retired,

and I live in London.

I'm 46, I'm a parson from Nottingham.

I'm 33, I'm a police officer from Plymouth.

I'm 50, I'm a teacher from Rutland.

I'm 20, and I'm a student from north London.

I'm 28, I live in Bristol and I work in IT.

Now, the rules. In each round, the aim is

to answer enough questions

to reach your £1,000 target.

The fastest way is a chain of nine correct answers.

Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose the money.

But if you say "bank" before the question is asked,

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

Only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

Round one is three minutes. We start with the person whose name is first alphabetically,

that's you, Amanda.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

OK.

-Amanda, what's Anne done to upset you?

-She got some questions wrong,

and at this stage, we need as much money as we can.

Stuart, how was that round for you?

-Not very good.

-No, I'm glad you noticed.

-Was Anne worse?

-Probably not.

She was, but not much.

Statistically, Anne WAS the weakest link

and the team have voted you the weakest link. Goodbye.

I am disappointed, but it is only a game in the end,

and somebody does have to go first.

'I'm kicking myself over the Pride And Prejudice question.'

I did know that, but under the pressure of the moment,

I came out with completely the wrong answer.

you could have won £1,000. Eight of you left,

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

'For the second time, Amanda is the strongest player.

'Having got all her questions wrong, Reena is the weakest.

'Will the voting reflect the facts?'

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Keith, why Reena?

She was the only one that got three wrong.

How's it going for you, Simon?

Not fantastically well, but slightly better than Reena.

-John?

-Mm.

Don't you like Reena?

I've nothing against Reena, she just got a couple wrong.

Reena, you're suited for journalism,

since your lack of knowledge is so spectacular. With six votes,

you are the weakest link, goodbye.

Playing the game is really horrible. Everyone's just in it for themselves.

Stuart might be next,

because like myself, he keeps getting really difficult questions.

You could have won £2,000 by now.

You've actually only got £620. You're down to seven players,

we're taking another ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link from the last round, Amanda.

Team we have a tie, John and Simon, three votes each.

-I've heard of it. I couldn't tell you who sang it.

-Simon

-how d'you think you did?

-Terribly. Probably the weakest link.

Statistically, that's true. Why did you vote for John?

He got as many wrong as I did, I believe.

Keith, when the vote is tied,

the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

You voted for John. Do you want to change your vote? You can have

-either John or Simon.

-I'll stick with John.

John, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel a bit hard done by that they voted me off.

Somebody had done worse.

In the last round, I made the wrong choice.

I should have voted for Simon.

That would have kept me in.

Round four. There's £720

in the bank out of potential prize money of £3,000.

Six of you left.

We're taking another ten seconds.

We'll start with the strongest link from the last round.

Time is up

and after all that time you managed to bank

an embarrassingly low £70.

Which one of you is more than due for the elbow?

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

'For the third time Amanda is the strongest link

'and for the second time the weakest link is Simon.

'Can he survive another vote?'

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

Just to remind the entire team that you were rubbish in the last round.

You banked only £70. It's puzzling why you bothered to come here today.

Tom, why Simon?

He got all his questions wrong and he was inconsistent last time.

-You only got one question right.

-Yeah. That's enough, though.

-Right!

Keith! Why Simon?

-Again, he had a poor round.

-Do you think you had a brilliant round?

-No.

-No terrible, wasn't it?

-You don't have to tell everybody!

Simon, you were the worst player.

-Sorry.

-With five votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel gutted that I was voted off but I was voted off fairly.

'Obviously I didn't get any of my questions right.'

The next to be voted off will be Tom.

He's confident, he's knowledgeable,

but not answering too many questions in the last round threw him a bit.

I think he might go next.

Round five.

Of the £4,000 you could have banked you've put in the kitty just £790.

Five of you left, another ten seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest link, Amanda. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

Time is up.

In that round you only managed to answer seven questions correctly

and you banked a pathetic £90.

Who is dragging you down? Who'd better join the other dunces?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

'The strongest player three times, Amanda is now the weakest link

'having answered all her questions incorrectly.

'Will the team vote her off or will her previous performance save her?'

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

We have a tie. Stuart and Tom, two votes each.

Amanda, you didn't get one question right. Have you lost interest?

Just had a bad round, Anne.

Right. And why Stuart?

I would have voted for myself but he was the next weakest link.

Yes, you were statistically the weakest link.

Stuart! You're very fond of answering "Chicago".

Do you think if you answer it often enough, it'll hit the right button?

It worked!

Only once.

Why Keith?

He had a reasonably poor round that time.

Elaine, you were the strongest link

and when the vote is tied you have the choice

of who to get rid of

and you can change your mind.

So, who would you like to see the back of? Tom or Stuart?

I think I should stay with Tom.

-Why?

-That was my original take on it, and I think I'll stick with it.

Tom, Elaine wants you off the team. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel annoyed. I wasn't the weakest link, I was doing quite well.

I'm the victim of tactical voting by Elaine. But I'd have done the same.

I guess Amanda and Elaine will go into the final round together.

Elaine would win it on general knowledge

but Amanda's more up on popular culture.

Round six.

There's £880 in the kitty out of £5,000 you could have won.

Four of you left. We're cutting ten seconds from your time.

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

Time is up

and another appalling performance.

You banked just £80.

Now, who has become a complete drain on the rest of you?

Who is too stupid to remain? One of you is about to leave with nothing.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

'Having survived the vote as the weakest link,

'Amanda is again the worst player.

'For the second time Elaine is the strongest link.

'But who will be voted off?'

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

Amanda! Why Stuart?

I don't think I had a very good round.

But Stuart was the next weakest to me.

Right! Stuart, why Amanda?

She started off well but she's faded in the last couple of rounds.

Do you think you've faded a bit?

-I never really started very well to fade.

-OK, as long as you know!

Elaine, why Stuart?

I don't think there was a lot to choose between Stuart and Amanda

and Stuart got the short straw.

When the vote is tied the strongest link has to decide.

Technically Amanda was the weakest link.

If you'd rather get rid of Stuart that's fine. Or Amanda, that's fine.

-Who would you like to get rid of?

-I'll stay with Stuart.

Stuart, Elaine wants you out. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel that Elaine voted myself off because...

I did hear her saying earlier on, "Women sticking together".

'So I do feel I was subject to a conspiracy.'

It'll be Keith off next because he's the sole surviving male.

It'll be a gender issue next.

Round seven.

You have £960 in the kitty, out of the £6,000 you could have won.

Three of you left. Ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link, Elaine. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up, and you won £200.

Now, in round eight you get the chance to treble what you bank.

That means in the next round there's £3,000 to be won.

The question is who is least likely

to succeed in raising the not-very-high bank balance?

Who do you need to get rid of in order to do better?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

'In a total reversal of fortune, Elaine is now the weakest player

'while Amanda is once again the strongest.

'But at this crucial stage, how will the voting go?'

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

We have a three-way tie. Elaine, Amanda and Keith, one vote each.

Elaine, why Amanda?

I couldn't vote for myself.

But she was the strongest link in the last round.

-I lost track.

-Right. That's worrying.

Keith, why Elaine?

-It was a spin-up between the two.

-We know that.

-So I picked Elaine.

-Right.

Amanda, why Keith?

Again, not much to choose between them.

But with Keith being after me, I noticed what he got wrong.

As the strongest link, you get the deciding vote.

I'd like to vote for Elaine.

-Would you? Why?

-I think I stand a better chance of winning.

-We're not team playing any more?

-Too late now.

Too late? Right, well.

It cost you, voting for Amanda. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm a little disappointed, but it's got to happen sooner or later.

I voted for Amanda because although she was strong in that round,

previously she'd had a few awful ones.

I didn't think there was a lot to choose.

I think Amanda will win. She's got a will to win.

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

you have just £1,160.

Amanda and Keith, just two of you left.

You have only 90 seconds, but winnings will be trebled

and added onto your total prize money.

£3,000 is at stake in this round.

We'll start with the strongest link that's Amanda.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time up. That's a remarkable record.

You got just two questions right. You didn't make it to £1,000. You banked £50.

We'll treble that and add it to the previous winnings.

That means prize money today of £1,310.

But only one of you can take that money away.

Now you will be playing head to head.

Alternate questions, best of five.

Whoever answers the most correctly wins.

If there's a tie after five, it's sudden death until there's a winner.

So, Amanda and Keith, for £1,310, let's play The Weakest Link.

Amanda, you have the choice of who goes first.

I'll go first.

That means, Keith, you are today's strongest link

and you go away with £1,310.

Amanda, you leave with nothing.

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

I am absolutely devastated not to have won in the final.

If I'd chosen to go second rather than first I'd have won.

I chose the wrong set of questions.

It feels wonderful to have won, considering I was nearly voted out.

Amanda changed her mind. It was good news for me.
