22/08/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine people here today,

only one will take home the prize money

of up to £10,000. The rest will win nothing,

when their team-mates vote them

The Weakest Link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

could win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other.

However, if they want the prize money, 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 Dean, a 22-year-old fitness instructor from Merseyside.

My name's Linda, a 50-year-old student living in Port Patrick.

I'm Craig, I'm 40, a financial adviser from Martock in Somerset.

I'm Irmgard from Bromley in Kent. I'm 61 and I'm retired.

I'm Kate, I'm 38, and a learning support worker.

My name is Hugh. I'm 58.

I live in Congleton in Cheshire, and I'm retired.

I'm Tabbi, I'm 23, and I'm a drama and music student from East London.

Steve, a 32-year-old sales team leader from Peterborough.

I'm Janice, I'm 51 and I'm a cook from Darlington, Co Durham.

Now the rules. In each round, the aim

is to get enough questions right to meet your £1000 target ON TIME!

The fastest way is to create a chain

of nine correct answers.

Get your question wrong,

you break the chain and lose all the money in it.

But say "Bank" before I ask the question

and the money is safe.

BUT you start a new chain from scratch. Remember,

at the end of a round only banked money can go forward.

Round 1: three minutes on the clock.

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

Let's play The Weakest Link!

After a very close first round,

Craig is the strongest link. The weakest is Irmgard.

But have the others picked this up?

OK, time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Linda, why Irmgard?

Because I thought she hesitated somewhat and...um...

I felt she was the weakest link.

-A learning support worker.

-Are you?

Who do you think you support?

I try to support people who make mistakes.

Right, well, you've had plenty of experience.

Janet... Why Irmgard?

She got two questions wrong

and she hesitated over one.

-What do you do, Janet?

-I'm a cook.

Are you?

Can you count?

-I try to.

-Not very well. She only got one wrong.

But, Irmgard, statistically you were the worst player.

And with four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

When I go home today I'll be cross with myself. Well, I already am.

I think I should have got a bit further.

The question I got wrong about the maggot was so stupid. It was easy.

When Anne said Maggot I said to myself, "You silly woman."

Round 2. You've won £600 out of a possible £1000.

We now take ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link so far.

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

Craig is the strongest link for a second time.

Hugh is the weakest link statistically, but how will the voting go?

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

Linda,

why Hugh?

Because he did as bad as I did.

Didn't answer any questions right.

Will you be getting any questions right in the future?

-I hope so.

-Do you know about anything?

-Yes.

I should have known the Flintstones one, I must admit.

But the last one, I'm afraid I don't watch American television. Sorry.

-Dean, what's Hugh done?

That's the problem with Hugh.

It's just I don't remember him getting a question right.

-Just as well. What did you do?

-I worked for a drug company.

-Did you?

Testing the drugs?

-The memory loss ones, yes.

-Right.

There's not much doubt about it.

With six votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

The group were right to vote me off after that performance.

Popular music, give me half an hour and I'd still have been wrong.

The game puts you under pressure.

You sweat until the question comes to you and panic in case you're wrong.

I think Linda will be the next off, because she was just behind me.

Round Three. £940 in the kitty. Seven of you left.

Ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link, Craig.

And you scraped together £240. Who doesn't deserve to stay?

Who will cost you money if they do?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

This time Linda is the strongest link.

Dean only got one question correct, making him the weakest link.

But will the voting follow the facts?

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

Craig,

-why Kate?

-She's costing us all money, as simple as that.

We're here to get as much as possible. She's costing us money.

-You know. You're a financial adviser.

-I keep an eye on the pennies.

Linda, what happened to you there?

I answered all the questions right. I don't know what happened.

I must have switched something on.

-Keep your finger on it, whatever it is.

-I will.

Why Kate?

Because I don't think Kate answered any questions right.

I hope we're not relying on your counting later.

She got two questions right.

-Dean, what do you do?

-A fitness instructor.

Are you? And how do you qualify for that? Do you do a few press-ups?

-You've got a degree! Well!

-And you've never heard of photosynthesis.

-It slipped my mind.

-Right. Why Kate?

I can't vote for myself and Kate's round was nearly as bad as mine.

-And you don't need grammar to be a fitness instructor.

-In parts.

Dean, you were the worst player but, Kate,

who, amazingly, is a learning support worker, with a degree also,

with four votes, is the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think I'll get a lot of ribbing from the children at school, because they're doing their SATS tests

and there were a few maths questions I got wrong.

I'd like a woman to win. I like women to win things over men.

Round Four. £1180 banked so far. There are six of you left.

We are taking ten seconds off the time. You have 2½ minutes.

We'll start with the strongest link. That's Linda.

Time is up.

And you're getting worse, not better. In that round,

a miserable £90 is all you put into your kitty. Who is cramping your style?

Whose performance is far too poor

for them to stay?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Steve is the strongest, statistically.

Dean failed to answer any questions

which makes him the weakest link again.

But can he survive another vote?

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

We have a tie.

Craig and Dean, three votes each.

Dean, that's an interesting choice.

Erm...it is.

I had a nightmarish round.

Craig did a little bit better but not as good as everybody else.

Craig, why Dean?

Erm...I believe he did slightly worse than me.

Unfortunately, that round

was so difficult I lost count but I remember Dean getting some wrong.

When the vote is tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

Steve, as the strongest link,

would you like to get rid of Craig

or Dean?

Dean did well the first few rounds but he's showing nerves.

I'll stick with Craig. He's good and he's competition.

Oh, I see. You no longer heed the interests of the team

whereby you raise the stakes as high as possible.

You're playing for yourself. Is that right?

Not strictly true, but there is an element of selfishness in my choice.

-Is that wise in terms of who votes for you in the following rounds?

-We'll see.

Craig, Steve has decided you're competition.

So technically you are the weakest link, goodbye.

I think it's disgusting that I can be voted off

when I was the strongest for most of the game

and in that round I wasn't the weakest.

The one I would least like to win is Steve because he is a coward.

He voted me off because I'm competition.

Round Five.

£1270 in the kitty.

Five of you left. 10 seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest from the last round - Steve.

Just £120

was what you managed in that round.

Who now seriously needs to be shown the door?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Having survived two votes as the weakest link,

Dean is now the strongest.

Janice is now the weakest player,

but will the voting reflect reality?

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

Linda, why Steve?

I think that was not a good round for any of us

but Steve,

I thought he was weaker than what I was so I voted for Steve, unfortunately.

-Tabbi, how's it going?

-I got one wrong out of three

and Steve was the only one I could think of

who got any wrong.

-You thought he was the weakest link.

-I did, yes.

Steve, what do you do?

I'm a team leader in sales environment.

-A team leader!

-Yeah.

-Good heavens!

-Yeah.

-There's no evidence of it here because you wanted to get rid of your biggest rival.

-I did.

That's a very good advert for a team leader.

It's not done you any good. You are the weakest link, goodbye.

I'm disappointed to go in that round.

They got rid of me because I was strong early on

and they knew I'd be a threat at the end.

Tabbi will probably be voted off next.

She's hesitated a lot and there's been a few answers she didn't know.

Round Six

and so far you've won £1390.

There are four of you left.

We cut ten seconds from your time. We start with the strongest from the last round.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In a big reversal, Janice has gone from weakest to strongest link.

The weakest link is Tabbi who failed to answer any questions.

But who will lose out in the vote?

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

Dean,

why Tabbi?

Everyone had a shocking round

-but Tabbi's questions stood out.

-Janine, why Tabbi?

She didn't get a question right so she was the weakest link.

Do you want this end to yourself, do you?

Not really, no.

-Tabbi?

-Appalling. Appalling round.

Terrible.

Three votes, the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'd like to have won but that was never on.

My friends and family will be surprised

at how far I got - they think I'm really dizzy.

The know-it-alls were voted off earlier on.

I'd like to see any of the remaining three win it.

Round Seven.

Just £1460 in the kitty.

Three of you left.

10 seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link - Janice.

In the next round, there's £3000 to be won.

The question is, who has outstayed their welcome -

the instructor, student or cook?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Dean is the strongest link for a second time.

Janice is the weakest link again.

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

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

Dean... Why Janice?

I just remember Linda and Janice had a very bad round.

-But I remember Linda banked money.

-Linda, why Janice?

Because Janice only answered...

I just remember her answering one question. Maybe two, I was confused.

-You were confused?

-I was.

Well, Janice, overall you weren't the weakest link.

Mrs Confused here was.

But with two votes, the team want rid of you,

So you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm really disappointed to be voted off.

But I'm being sponsored for Comic Relief, so I should make some money.

I should have got the Moscow question right.

Tchaikovsky is from Russia.

So he wouldn't have anything to do with Waterloo, would he?

Round Eight.

You've banked £1640.

Dean and Linda,

just you left, you have 90 seconds.

That means prize money today of £1760.

Only one of you can take that money away.

So now you'll be playing against each other.

I'll ask alternate questions. Best of five.

Whoever answers most correctly wins, simple as that.

If there's a tie, it's sudden death till we get a winner.
