18/04/2012 Weakest Link

'Of the nine people preparing for today's show,

'only one will take home the prize money.

'The others will leave with nothing

after they are voted The Weakest Link.'

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

If they want the prize money, they must work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Paul, I'm 33, I'm a sales executive from Shore in Lancashire,

I'm Rachel, I'm 23, I'm a cash clerk from Llanelli.

I'm Tricia, I'm 49,

I'm a local government officer from Gosport, Hampshire.

I'm Clive, 53, a retired lecturer from Leeds.

I'm Steven, I'm 21,

I work for a highways consultancy, I'm from Manchester.

I'm Keith, I'm 45, a freelance writer from Wakefield.

I'm Sandra, I'm 35, I'm a student from Guildford.

I'm Anna, I'm 61, I'm retired, I'm from Eston near Middlesbrough.

I'm Colin, I'm 29, I'm a computer programmer from South Croydon.

Now the rules. In each round the aim is to answer enough questions

to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit.

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

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

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

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

At the end of the round only money banked can be carried forward.

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

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

'The strongest link is Tricia, who got all her questions right.

'The weakest link is Steven, who gave three incorrect answers,

'but at this early stage of the game, will the rest have noticed?'

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Sandra, are you getting rid of the other women on the team?

-I'm not trying to.

-Why Rachael?

-I just happened to notice her.

You're going by whoever you notice?

No, I noticed she got the questions wrong.

Colin, why Rachael?

I had a bad round but I can't vote for myself.

She wasn't the weakest link statistically, of course.

-Was she, Steven?

-She wasn't.

-Who was?

-Me, since I didn't get a question right.

-What happened?

-I fell apart.

Did you?

Rachael, what happened to you?

I didn't have a great round but I wasn't the weakest link.

Statistically, Steven was the worst player but it's votes that count.

Rachael, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm annoyed I got the question wrong about Steinbeck.

'I'm familiar with Grapes Of Wrath. Of Mice And Men came to me first.'

The walk of shame wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, but to be the first one off is embarrassing.

Round two. You've won £160 so far out of a possible £1,000.

Eight players left, ten seconds off the clock.

The time is up. Team, you appear to have woken up.

In that round you've banked a much larger amount of money - £500 -

but who, actually, is dragging you down?

Who's the damp squib? Whose memory hasn't accompanied them here today?

One of you will leave with nothing. Time to vote off the weakest link.

'Having survived the vote last time, Steven has gone from weakest to strongest link.

'The weakest link is Anna, the only player to answer everything wrong,

'but will the votes follow the facts?'

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

Keith, why Anna?

I've decided to vote for the person with the most answers wrong.

It was Anna this time.

Paul, why Anna?

She had a weak round that time.

We need to bank as much as we can.

Steven, why Anna?

She got more answers wrong than the rest.

-Anna, statistically, you were the weakest link.

-Too right!

The team have voted you the weakest link. Goodbye.

I didn't want to be voted off, but I did get all my questions wrong

so that was why I was voted off.

The ones who could be voted off next are Steven or Sandra.

Both are weak on general knowledge.

Round three. You could have won £2,000 by now.

You have just £660.

We are taking another ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link, Steven.

but who is getting worse not better?

Who is the fly in the ointment?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

'The strongest link is Keith.

'Although Colin gave four incorrect answers, he banked £100.

'But can this save him from the vote?'

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

Tricia, what happened to you?

I left my brain upstairs somewhere.

-Will it be down again for this round?

-I hope so.

-Good. Why Colin?

-He had a few questions wrong.

I know I did too, but I can't vote for myself.

Right.

Paul, you don't know the difference between Folkestone and Dover?

Afraid not.

How did Colin upset you?

He's had a very bad round, the questions didn't fall for him.

-Did they fall right for you?

-I did slightly better.

-Just the one fell right for you.

-That's slightly better.

How's it going, Sandra?

-OK.

-Why Colin?

I noticed he passed on a couple of questions, maybe got one wrong.

Colin, you couldn't answer any of the questions.

No.

The team have voted you off. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

During the rounds, the heart starts pounding,

your mouth dries up, your palms get sweaty.

'You pray the next question is one you know.'

The next person to go will be Paul. He only got one question right.

Everyone else is doing well. Steven has picked up well.

Round four. There's £1,120 in your bank so far

out of a potential £3,000.

JINGLE

Time is up. In that round

you only managed to bank £200.

Who is now the pebble in your shoe?

Who is past their best? Whose knowledge is sadly lacking?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

'For the second time the strongest link is Keith.

'He got four correct.

'The weakest link is Sandra, who gave three incorrect answers.

'But will the other players have spotted this?'

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

We have a tie.

Sandra and Paul, three votes each.

-What did Sandra do to upset you?

-Nothing in particular.

She was just slightly weaker.

-How do you think you did?

-I did average.

Two wrongs average?

-Average-ish.

-Average-ish?

-Sandra, why Paul?

-It wasn't a reaction to how I thought he'd vote,

but he did get the same amount wrong as I did.

He didn't, actually. He got one more right than you did.

On the other hand, you banked £100.

Keith, why Sandra?

It's fair to vote for the person who gets the most wrong.

As the strongest link, you have to decide whether you'd like

to get rid of Paul or Sandra.

You can change your vote if you wish to.

I'm going to stick with Sandra, please.

Keith has spoken. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was annoyed to get the cookery question wrong.

I knew the answer. All I could think of was cock-a-leekie.

Paul will be voted off next because he was in a tie with me

and he will be the next one to go.

Round five. With a lot of struggle, you have in the bank £1,320.

If you'd hit your targets, it would be £4,000.

Five left. Ten seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest link, that's Keith.

Time is up. In that round,

you managed to bank only £240. Who is the runt of the litter?

Who's for the chop? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

'For the third time, Keith is the strongest link

'with five correct answers.

'The weakest link is Paul with the most incorrect answers.

'But will he be spared in the vote?'

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

Clive, are you tidying things up on the podium?

Yes. I didn't do very well in that round.

But I think probably about the same as Paul.

Right. You did slightly better than Paul. That wasn't difficult.

Tricia, why Paul?

I just felt there was no money there for me to bank.

Paul, how do you think you did?

I think I was the weakest link.

Yes, you were the worst player. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was a bit disappointed to get voted off.

I thought I would've been a better team player than some left in.

The embarrassing question was the designer Jimmy Choo.

Everything I wear is a designer label.

I'm gonna get a lot of stick from my colleagues and friends back home.

Round six. You've won £1,560

you could've won £5,000 by now.

We cut 10 seconds from your time.

We start with the strongest link that's Keith.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up. What a pitiful performance.

£70 is all you banked. Who is past their best?

Who has lost the plot?

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

'For the first time the strongest link is Clive.

'In a reversal of fortune Keith has gone

'from the strongest to the weakest link.

'But will his previous success save him?'

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

Well, what a disastrous round that was for all of you!

You only got eight correct answers and banked £70,

having got rid of five ALLEGEDLY weaker links!

Steven,

-you're a referee.

-True.

-And you've never heard of Murrayfield?

I couldn't get the answer out.

-Why was that?

-I know that's where they play, I couldn't get it out.

-Keeping it a secret?

-I was.

Clive, why Tricia?

We were all pretty bad in that round and Tricia got questions wrong

-which meant we couldn't bank very much.

-Mmm.

-She got two questions wrong.

-So did I.

-Exactly.

Keith, how do you think you did?

-I got three wrong out of five which isn't very good.

-No.

-Worse than Tricia.

-Yes.

-Why Tricia?

-I thought of the others she was the worst this round.

-Not as bad as you, though.

-No.

Statistically, you were the worst player, but it's votes that count.

Tricia, with two votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm a little bit miffed because I wasn't the weakest link,

but I was the sole female left

so perhaps, up to a point, the men were ganging up on me.

I think Keith is the strongest link and he has a good chance of winning.

Round seven.

In the kitty you have £1,630 out of the £6,000 you could have won.

Three of you left, there are no women to hold you back

or no men called Paul or Colin. 10 seconds come off the clock.

We start with the strongest link that's Clive.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up, the answer was Ultra High Frequency.

In that round you did considerably better, you won £240.

In the next round, round eight,

you get the chance to treble what you bank

so there's £3,000 to be won. The question is,

who is least likely to get that bank balance as high as it can go?

In other words, who gets dumped?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

'In this round, Keith has regained his previous good form

'and is again the strongest link.

'For the second time, Steven is the weakest link.

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

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

We have a threeway tie.

Clive, Steven and Keith,

one vote each. Clive...

-why Keith?

-Very difficult choice

at this late stage.

I was more concerned about what I was doing in that last round

-so I just picked one of them.

-Right.

Curiously, you chose the player

-who has performed best throughout the game.

-Yes, I'm aware of that.

-So you wanted to get rid of the opposition?

-Not necessarily.

Right(!) Steven...

why Clive?

Very difficult at this late stage

but I thought Keith was stronger than Clive in the last round.

And Keith, why Steven?

I lost track in that round of who got the most wrong.

So I just chose Steven.

But overall,

Steven indeed is the weaker of the three players.

However, Keith, Clive has voted for you and, as the strongest link,

you can decide who you'd like to get rid of.

Would you like to get rid of Steven or would you like to get rid

of Clive who voted for you?

I'll get rid of Clive.

Why?

I have a perception that there are more questions

aimed at youth culture than at Clive's generation.

So your decision to switch from Steven to Clive

has nothing to do with the fact that he voted for you?

-No, that'd be very malicious, wouldn't it?

-Mmm.

Clive, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm not very happy, bearing in mind my overall performance

and the circumstances in which Keith voted me off, changing his mind.

'He saw me as a threat and got rid of me.'

When I did the walk of shame I was annoyed at Keith

and I hope that he is the one that loses to Steven in the final.

Round eight. By now you could have won £7,000.

In fact you have in the bank £1,870.

Steven and Keith,

just the two of you left and this time you have only 90 seconds.

But whatever you win is trebled and added to your total

to make up your final prize money. £3,000 at stake.

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