17/07/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine people preparing for today's show,

only one will take home

the prize money of up to £10,000.

The others get nothing, after their team-mates vote them

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 don't know each other.

But if they want the prize money, they'll have to work as a team.

But eight will leave with nothing

as, round by round, we lose the player voted The Weakest Link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm Kanjeev, a 29-year-old media consultant from London.

I'm Gill, 33, and a farmer's wife and mother from Marlborough, Wilts.

I'm Karen, 23, and a restaurant assistant manager from Hartlepool.

I'm Andy, 45, and a police officer from Dorset.

My name's Morag. I'm 57 and I'm a seamstress from Greenock, Renfrewshire.

I'm Doug, 51, an electromicroscopist from Hemingford Grey, Cambridgeshire.

I'm Justin, 21 years old. A student living in Norfolk.

My name's Ann. I'm 46 and a nurse from County Durham.

I'm Brian, a 73-year-old retired merchant seaman from Liverpool.

Now the rules. In each round,

the aim is to answer enough questions to reach the £1000 target

within the time limit.

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

Get it wrong, and the chain breaks and you lose the money.

If you say "Bank" before the question is asked, the money is safe

but you start a new chain from scratch. Remember, at the end of the round

only money banked is taken forward. Round One lasts three minutes.

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

That's you, Andy. Let's play The Weakest Link.

The first question is for £20. Start the clock.

your £1000 target.

That money goes into the next round. But, of course,

one of you will not.

Do you have doubts? One of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off The Weakest Link.

After an incredible first round,

Andy is the strongest link as he banked the £1000.

Although no-one answered a question wrongly,

Morag is the weakest link as she gained least money.

But what will the team think when it comes to the vote?

OK, voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Kanjeev, why Brian?

It was very difficult to choose as everyone got 100 per cent.

-But, in hindsight, thinking about what will happen in the future.

-With hindsight?

With hindsight thinking about what will happen in the future? I think we'll leave it there.

Justin, you don't like senior citizens?

-He may struggle with popular culture.

-And you won't?

-No.

-Being 21?

-Exactly.

-Right.

Ann, that's embarrassing.

-He's next to you. Why do you want to get rid of him?

-We need nerves of steel and his nerves are going.

Brian, how many years in the merchant navy?

-40.

-Right.

And you haven't got nerves of steel?

-My nerves are all right.

-Are they?

-Nothing just round here.

-No.

With four votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm not sure why I was voted off as the weakest link.

It may be that

some of the team thought I might be a bit weak later on.

I voted for Karen because I thought there was a slight hesitation.

It was the only thing I could pick up on.

Round Two. You've reached your £1000 target.

Eight players left, we'll take 10 seconds

off the clock. You got rid of the oldest member of the team.

We'll start with the strongest link - Andy. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Without Brian, who was 73 and too slow, apparently,

and wouldn't be able to answer questions about popular culture,

you have put into the kitty just £110.

Who is now exposed as dreadfully dim?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Ann now the strongest link statistically.

Kanjeev is the weakest link. He answered all his questions incorrectly.

But will the voting follow the facts?

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

Justin, why Kanjeev?

He had a bad question and then lost it.

-You lost it, as well, didn't you?

-I got two questions right after the one I got wrong.

-Doug, what do you do?

-Electromicroscopist.

-Got a few qualifications, have you?

-A few, yes.

-Share them with us.

A degree in zoology, a Master's in biotechnology.

And you don't know what a peafowl is.

I gave an answer even though I hadn't heard the first words that you said.

Oh, I see... It was MY fault!

My hearing probably, rather than your fault, but I didn't catch it.

You'd be amazed how often I hear that excuse.

Why did you vote for Kanjeev?

He had a bad round. He got three wrong.

He's really got to go.

Kanjeev, what do you do?

-I'm a media consultant.

-And what do people consult you about?

-Advertising.

-Not the English language, not arithmetic.

-No.

-Not the use of words.

-No.

-Right. It's just as well. You were rubbish, weren't you?

-Yes, I was.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Thank you.

I didn't expect to get voted off that early.

It is a bit unnerving at times.

Plus Anne did get me

at the beginning, which I won't be able to live down.

She is quite off-putting.

Round Three and of the £2000 you could have won, you have in your bank £1110.

Seven players left. Ten seconds off the clock.

We'll start with the strongest link. That's Ann.

Who are you going to dump?

Who's not up to scratch?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Andy is the strongest link for a second time.

Ann has gone from strongest to weakest link.

But how will the voting go?

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

Gill,

-why Karen?

-She unfortunately had a bad round

and didn't get many questions right and I feel she's going to get a bit nervous later on.

Right. How's it going for you, Doug?

Not too bad, thanks.

You've got all those qualifications. Are you a member of any clubs, as well?

-I'm a member of Mensa.

-How do you get to be a member?

-You have to sit a test.

-Right. What sort of test?

-An IQ test.

-An IQ test.

-Why Karen?

-She had a bad round. She got at least three questions wrong.

-A bit stupid, is she?

-No.

-Wouldn't be a member of Mensa?

She may well be for all I know.

-Because you can be stupid and a member of Mensa?

-I don't know.

-Because you're not stupid?

-I like to think not.

-We'll see.

Ann, what happened in that last round?

-It was a disaster!

-Did you think Karen was the weakest link?

-She was as bad as me.

-She wasn't.

-There you go.

-It's just they didn't notice. Not even Doug,

who's a member of Mensa, noticed. Karen,

-where are you from?

-Hartlepool.

-Right.

Did you leave your brains in Hartlepool?

-I must have.

-You can go get them. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was disappointed about being voted off as I wasn't the weakest link.

I did have a really bad round, so I wasn't surprised at all.

I was voted off instead of Ann because I'm younger.

They don't see my age as an advantage.

The next to be voted off will be Ann

because she was the weakest link and they know that now.

Round Four. £1330 banked. There are six of you left.

We are taking another ten seconds off the clock.

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

Start the clock.

Who's tripped too often? Time to vote off the weakest link.

Justin is the strongest link.

With only one question answered correctly, Ann is the weakest link.

But when it comes to the vote will they give her a second chance?

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

Gill, why Ann?

She had a couple of bad rounds, and may struggle.

Doug, did that Mensa test involve any geography?

-No. I don't believe so, no.

-Right.

What DID it involve?

-It's more about thinking rather than knowledge.

-Oh, right.

-And did Ann think badly?

-No, it's just lack of knowledge, I think.

Right. There WAS a bit of a lack of knowledge, wasn't there?

-Yes.

-Since you voted Brian off

because he was slow, you got questions wrong on books, music,

maths, handicrafts, sport, biology and film.

-Where are you from?

-Co Durham.

-You're going back. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It was a bad round. My mind went to mush. I couldn't find the answers.

At home you know all the answers.

Out there, you don't! It shows what lack of knowledge you have.

I think Gill might go next.

She did well, but nerves may start to show.

Round Five.

Your total so far is £1430.

We're taking ten seconds off the time.

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

Start the clock.

I cannot complete the question.

In that round, you did even worse.

You put into the kitty a pathetic £50.

I urge you, dump the dunce.

Ditch the ditherer.

Forget charity. You need to be ruthless to be rich.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Justin has gone from strongest to weakest link.

Doug is the strongest link statistically.

What will the team take into account for the vote?

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

We found another subject not covered at Mensa.

History.

Yes, I did know it, but one thing goes on up there, another comes out here.

It's hard to see the point of Mensa. Why Justin?

Going from the strongest link in the last round,

I know he had an unfortunate series of questions,

-which he couldn't answer.

-They're always unfortunate if you can't answer.

Gill, why Justin?

Struggling a bit and I didn't have any money to bank.

Right. Andy,

you weren't much better.

I don't think I was.

The only reason I voted for him

is I think he was just a little more nervous than I was.

Well, well, Justin.

Do you remember telling me you were voting for Brian

because he wouldn't be up to speed

on popular culture questions? I bet he would have known

the Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly film.

Probably. But that's not popular culture, is it?

Isn't it?

No. '49? You're having a laugh.

Right. Well, it's cost you your place.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was the weakest link in that round, so I deserved to go.

They're doing well. No-one's showing nerves.

Doug may look a bit shaky,

but Anne gave him a ribbing.

I think Gill will win. She's confident.

She's getting on well with everyone.

She's got a good rapport with the team.

Round Six.

The minutes are ticking away.

And the bank balance at...

Still embarrassingly low.

There are four of you left.

We cut ten seconds from your time.

We start with the strongest link - Doug.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up.

You banked £210.

But who is well past their best?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Doug is the strongest link for a second time.

For a second time, Morag is the weakest link.

Will the other players have noticed?

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

Andy, why Gill?

I think it's her nerves that are letting her down,

rather than anything else.

My theory is she'll only get worse.

Right. Well, if she gets worse, she'll be as bad as you.

She's done better than you.

Doug, you thought Gill was the weakest link?

Yes. She's done well up to now, I must admit.

-That was a bad round for her.

-And being a member of Mensa,

you'd quickly work out who the weakest link was.

I don't worry about that. It's just a general perception.

She wasn't the weakest link, was she?

I'm very sorry, Gill. I thought you were.

-Do you know who was, Morag?

-No. Please tell me.

-You were.

-Shock, horror.

That's statistically, but it's votes that matter.

With three votes, YOU are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed I was voted off, not being the weakest link.

But I was struggling then. I banked the money to save myself.

I voted for Andy that round,

because he got a few wrong,

and I still haven't forgiven him for When Harry Met Sally.

I think the final will be between Doug and Andy.

I think Doug will win.

Round Seven. You have £1690 in the kitty. There are three of you left.

Ten more seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest - Doug. Let's play The Weakest Link.

and you've got rid of six weaker links,

you've managed to bank £50.

In Round Eight, you get the chance

to treble what you bank,

so there's £3000 to be won.

What you have to decide is, who is past their best?

Who is least likely

to raise the bank balance

for the winner?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Doug is the strongest link for the third time in a row.

Andy is the weakest link, but has been the strongest twice.

At this crucial stage,

how will the players make their final choice?

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

Doug. Why Andy?

He had a particularly bad round. He's done well up to now.

-His last round was a struggle.

-It wasn't YOUR finest hour.

No. I never said it was.

Morag. What happened in that round?

It was the same as Andy. I went AWOL.

Not quite as bad.

You were the weakest link, Andy.

With two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think I can go home with my head held high.

I achieved my ambition not to go out in Round One,

and being the strongest in one round. So I'm happy.

I think Doug will just take it,

only because he's probably that little bit cooler under pressure.

Round Eight.

So far you've won £1740. There are two of you left.

Morag and Doug. You have only 90 seconds.

Whatever you win in this round

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

£3000 is at stake now. We start with the strongest link, Doug.
