0:35:13 > 0:35:17you get the chance to treble what you bank
0:35:17 > 0:35:20so there's £3,000 to be won. The question is,
0:35:20 > 0:35:26who is least likely to get that bank balance as high as it can go?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29In other words, who gets dumped?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33It's time to vote off the weakest link.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37'In this round, Keith has regained his previous good form
0:35:37 > 0:35:40'and is again the strongest link.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44'For the second time, Steven is the weakest link.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49'But how will the voting go at this crucial stage of the game?'
0:35:49 > 0:35:54Voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02We have a threeway tie.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Clive, Steven and Keith,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07one vote each. Clive...
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- why Keith?- Very difficult choice
0:36:10 > 0:36:12at this late stage.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16I was more concerned about what I was doing in that last round
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- so I just picked one of them.- Right.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Curiously, you chose the player
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- who has performed best throughout the game.- Yes, I'm aware of that.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34- So you wanted to get rid of the opposition?- Not necessarily.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Right(!) Steven...
0:36:37 > 0:36:39why Clive?
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Very difficult at this late stage
0:36:41 > 0:36:46but I thought Keith was stronger than Clive in the last round.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48And Keith, why Steven?
0:36:48 > 0:36:53I lost track in that round of who got the most wrong.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55So I just chose Steven.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57But overall,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Steven indeed is the weaker of the three players.
0:37:00 > 0:37:06However, Keith, Clive has voted for you and, as the strongest link,
0:37:06 > 0:37:11you can decide who you'd like to get rid of.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Would you like to get rid of Steven or would you like to get rid
0:37:14 > 0:37:18of Clive who voted for you?
0:37:18 > 0:37:20I'll get rid of Clive.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Why?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25I have a perception that there are more questions
0:37:25 > 0:37:29aimed at youth culture than at Clive's generation.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33So your decision to switch from Steven to Clive
0:37:33 > 0:37:37has nothing to do with the fact that he voted for you?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- No, that'd be very malicious, wouldn't it?- Mmm.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Clive, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I'm not very happy, bearing in mind my overall performance
0:37:52 > 0:37:57and the circumstances in which Keith voted me off, changing his mind.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00'He saw me as a threat and got rid of me.'
0:38:00 > 0:38:03When I did the walk of shame I was annoyed at Keith
0:38:03 > 0:38:09and I hope that he is the one that loses to Steven in the final.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15Round eight. By now you could have won £7,000.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18In fact you have in the bank £1,870.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Steven and Keith,
0:38:20 > 0:38:25just the two of you left and this time you have only 90 seconds.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29But whatever you win is trebled and added to your total
0:38:29 > 0:38:33to make up your final prize money. £3,000 at stake.
