0:35:11 > 0:35:15In the next round there's £3,000 to be won.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20The question is who has tripped up too often to stay?
0:35:20 > 0:35:26Who's not pitching in with the others? Time to vote off the weakest link.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33For the second time in the game, Phil is the strongest link.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38With four wrong, Grace has gone from being the strongest to the weakest link.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42At this crucial stage, can she survive the voting?
0:35:44 > 0:35:48It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Mark, why Grace?
0:35:59 > 0:36:04She missed a few in that last round. We all did, but she missed more.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30- than Mark and I.- Generally, you've been worse.- Absolutely.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35- But on that round she was the weakest link.- OK. Grace,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38overall in the game you've been the strongest link,
0:36:38 > 0:36:43but the team voted you off. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52At the end when I walked the walk of shame I didn't feel ashamed
0:36:52 > 0:36:55cos I thought, "I'm lucky to have got this far."
0:36:55 > 0:36:59It's extremely difficult to choose between Mark and Phil.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03They're both quite knowledgable. They're both nice.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I cannot choose between them.
0:37:06 > 0:37:15Round Eight. You've won £3,240 so far. By now you could have won £7,000. You have voted off

0:37:25 > 0:37:29is trebled and added to the total to make up your prize money,
