21/05/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine people preparing for today's show,

only one will win the prize money of up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing,

after their team-mates vote them the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

They don't know each other.

However, to win, they'll have to 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 Gill, 29, a marketing co-ordinator from Falkirk.

I'm George, 65, retired, and I'm from Bishop Auckland.

I'm Carl, 42, a business analyst from Nottingham.

I'm Steph, 36, a retail manager, from Exeter.

I'm Mark, 29, an account manager, from Lancaster.

I'm Dave, 52, a head teacher, from Penzance.

I'm Mel, 20, a journalism student, from Manchester.

I'm Lynn, 44, personal assistant, from Leeds.

I'm Owen, 24, a solicitor, from Lisburn.

The rules. In each round you must answer enough questions correctly

to reach your £1000 target

within the time limit.

The best way is to make a chain of nine correct answers.

Get your question wrong, and you break the chain

and lose the money in the chain.

If you say "bank" before the question, the cash is safe,

but you start a new chain.

Remember, at the end of the round,

ONLY money that has been banked can be taken forward.

Round One has three minutes on the clock.

We start with the person whose name is first alphabetically. Carl.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Who looks like being a millstone round your neck in later rounds?

One is about to leave with nothing. Vote off the weakest link.

After the first round, Owen is the strongest,

answering his questions correctly and banking money.

The weakest player is Dave. But at this early stage,

what will the team take into account when they vote?

OK. Voting over. Reveal who you think is the weakest link.

George. Why Dave?

I think Dave was slightly worse than me.

Lynn, why Dave?

I seem to remember he got one wrong and passed on one as well.

Right. Dave.

Do they have overdrafts in Cornwall?

Some people do, yes.

-You obviously haven't got one.

-I don't deal with my money affairs.

Well, it's cost you your place on the team.

You WERE the worst and with four votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to be voted off.

'I think it's a strong team, and I think they might almost create a record.'

I'm not sure who will be voted off. It's a very strong bunch.

If I had to bet, I'd say George was slightly weaker than the rest.

Round Two.

You've won £670 so far, out of a possible £1000.

Eight are left. We now take ten seconds off the clock.

Of the £1000 available in that round,

you won an embarrassingly low £120.

Why aren't you winning more money? Who's holding you back?

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Gill is the strongest link,

as the one player to answer all questions correctly.

Weakest is Mark, whose answers were all incorrect.

But will the voting follow the facts?

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

Carl.

Why Mark?

I don't think he got an answer right.

-You only got one right.

-Correct.

How's it going for you, Gill?

Quite good, I think.

What's Mark done to upset you?

-Nothing, but I don't think he got any right in the round.

-Mark.

-Did you leave your brains in Lancaster?

-I left them on the train.

Go and look for them. Six votes. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Having been voted off early,

I feel annoyed, not with the team but with myself

for not thinking more clearly and getting more answers.

I think Mel or Gill will go off next.

Their depth of knowledge doesn't seem as great as the others'.

Round Three. You could have won £2000 by now.

In fact you have in the bag just £790. You're down to seven players.

Time is up. I cannot ask the question.

Who has gone from dim to dimmest?

Who is too stupid to stay?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the second time, Owen is strongest.

His answers were all correct.

Statistically George is weakest.

But will the team pick up on that?

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

Steph. You'd never heard of a Ruby Ball?

I had, but I just couldn't get it out.

Right. Why George?

I think he just got one more wrong than I did.

That's correct.

Lynn! How's it going for you?

It wasn't very good in that round.

No, it wasn't, was it? Why George?

I think he got one more wrong than I did.

He got two more wrong than you did, actually.

George.

Your lack of knowledge is certainly impressively wide-ranging.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It's quite surprising when you see a card turn over

with your name on it! You feel personally affronted, somehow.

I was rather silly, not knowing what an earthquake was! I should have known.

Round Four. Of the £3000

you could have won by now,

you've actually banked just £910.

Six left. We take ten more seconds off.

You have two-and-a-half minutes.

you banked £250.

Who is being carried here?

Who has mentally already left for home?

Now vote off the weakest link.

For the first time, Carl is the strongest,

as the only player whose answers were all correct.

The weakest statistically is Mel.

But will the voting reflect this?

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

Gill.

Why Lynn?

I think it was very close between all of us,

with quite a lot of passes.

Her name was just one that stuck.

Right. She didn't do as badly as you.

-Did she not?

-No.

Owen. Why Lynn?

I just thought she was slightly worse than the others.

Well, it's votes that count.

Lynn, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I didn't expect to be voted off because I banked some money.

As we hadn't banked much, I thought they'd appreciate it. But they didn't.

I think Steph will be voted off next.

I think nerves are making her lose her confidence.

She's getting a few wrong, and I think the team will pick that up.

Round Five. Your total so far is £1160.

If you had hit your targets, it would be £4000.

Five left. Ten more seconds go off the time.

Time is up. After all that work,

you banked a pathetic £70.

Who is now the fly in the ointment?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Carl is the strongest player again, statistically.

And once again, Mel is the weakest link.

Can she survive a second vote?

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

We have a tie.

Gill and Mel have two votes each.

Gill. Why Mel?

I think she did equally as bad as I did.

Mel! What's happened to your knowledge?

-It's just...getting questions I don't know.

-Right. Carl.

-Why Gill?

-Um, in that round I think she got a couple of questions wrong.

Well, Mel was statistically the weakest link.

As the strongest link, astonishingly, in the last round,

you have the choice of who you send off.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to say goodbye to Mel.

Mel. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I nearly voted for Gill myself, so she'd have been off. But...

..I was the weakest, so it's fair that I came off.

The people who are strongest are probably Owen and Carl.

Carl had a shaky few rounds, but I think it'll be those two.

Round Six. You've won £1230 out of a possible £5000.

Four left. We cut ten more seconds from your time.

But who has lost the plot?

Who's outstayed their welcome? Who's too expensive?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the third time, Owen is the strongest link,

having answered once incorrectly.

Weakest is Gill, who answered only one question correctly.

But she did bank money for the team. How will the voting go?

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

Right. Team, having got rid of retired people,

clever-clogs media studies people,

financial people and headmasters,

in that last round

you got half the questions wrong.

Owen.

Tell us about George and Mildred in The Rocky Horror Show.

-I don't know where that came from.

-Right.

Why Gill?

I thought she was the weakest link in that round.

-Steph, why Gill?

-She's been good up to now,

but in the last couple of rounds I felt she was the weakest.

Right. Carl.

Why Gill?

Because I thought she was the weakest link

-of the four of us.

-Right. Gill.

-How do you think you did?

-Terrible. But I banked some money.

-Mm. It didn't save you.

With three votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm quite pleased to get this far.

My worst fear was getting voted off in the first round.

I would never live it down at work.

I think that Owen will win. He's getting tactical now.

Um...I would actually quite like Owen to win,

cos Carl's jokes are terrible.

Round Seven. You have £1420 in the bank out of £6000 you could have won.

Three left. Ten more seconds off.

The strongest from the last round is Owen.

was fashion designer John Rocha born?

Could you repeat the question?

In which former British colony

was fashion designer John Rocha born?

Time is up.

You only answered three questions correctly,

and banked the embarrassing amount of £20.

In Round Eight you can treble what you bank.

So in the next round, £3000 can be won.

The question is,

which one of you is even worse than the rest?

Who is least likely to raise the bank balance?

Dump the dead wood.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In a dramatic reversal of fortune, Owen is the weakest link.

All his answers were incorrect.

For the third time, Carl is the strongest,

but at this crucial stage of the game,

who will lose out in the voting?

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

Carl, why Steph?

Um...I'm afraid I can't remember a question she got right.

She wasn't the weakest link.

Over the duration of the show, I think Owen's the stronger player.

Owen, why Steph?

I don't think she got one right. I know I didn't.

She only got four wrong. You got five wrong.

She got asked one less question than I did.

Right. Steph,

you were not the worst player. Owen was.

The men want you off.

With two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I do feel disappointed. It's one stage I didn't want to get to. I'd rather go sooner.

But that's the way it goes. Guys will be guys. They voted the woman off.

I think it's difficult to see who'll win.

Owen and Carl are well matched. I'd prefer Owen,

purely because Carl's been a bit smug.

Round Eight. You've won £1440,

out of a possible £7000.

We're hardly reeling with admiration.

Carl and Owen, just two of you left.

You have only 90 seconds.

Whatever you win now will be trebled

and added to the total for your final prize.

£3000 is at stake. We start with the strongest link from the last round, Carl.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time's up. In that round you managed to win only £140.

We'll treble that and add the winnings from previous rounds,

so prize money today is £1860.

Only one of you can take that money,

so you are playing each other head to head.

I'll ask alternate questions. Whoever answers more correctly wins.

It's that simple. If there's a tie, we'll go for Sudden Death

until we have a winner. So, Carl and Owen,

for £1860,

let's play The Weakest Link.

-Carl, as strongest in the last round, you choose who goes first.

-I will go first.
