0:07:18 > 0:07:21Imogen, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33I think the other contestants did vote me off because I hesitated before giving my answer,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36but I didn't know the answer to the question, so I guessed,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40the other contestants saw my weakness and they were in there.
