0:17:37 > 0:17:42I have acted a lot, so I know it's auditorium, but it goes out of your head.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47I think the next person to be voted off will be Saranne,

0:36:07 > 0:36:10Saranne, statistically, in that round,
0:36:10 > 0:36:14you were the strongest link. Dave was the worst.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21With two votes, they want you off. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30I don't know why they voted me off. They didn't pay attention.
