0:35:26 > 0:35:31you banked £190. In Round Eight, you treble what you bank.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33That means, in the next round,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36there's £3000 to be won.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41The question is, who needs to be given their marching orders?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Vote off the weakest link.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48The statistics show Nicola is the strongest link.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53Phil's run as strongest link is over. He's the weakest link.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55At this crucial stage,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57who will survive the vote?

0:37:10 > 0:37:15It's disappointing to get all that way and be voted out one from the end.
0:37:15 > 0:37:21Because I had a good chance against Nicola or Phil. They weren't very good.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24In the final analysis, Phil will win.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27He's not going to win a fortune, it's not a big jackpot.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32He's better than Nicola. Her general knowledge isn't that good.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Round Eight.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39There's £1240 in the bank
0:37:39 > 0:37:42out of a possible £7000.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Nicola and Phil left. You have only 90 seconds.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47and as bad as you've been all the time.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52You won just £40. We'll treble that and add it to the winnings.
