23/05/2012 Weakest Link

Here are the contestants

preparing for the show.

One of them will get the prize

of up to £10,000. The others will leave with nothing,

as the team votes 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. If they want the money they have to work as a team.

Eight of them leave with nothing,

as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm Andy. I'm 28. I'm a sports development officer from Cheltenham.

I'm Pat. I'm 43, a housewife from Kent.

I'm Mel, 58 years old, in the print and design business, from New Barnet in Hertfordshire.

I'm Nicola. I'm 27, and I'm a health development worker from Swansea.

I'm Phil. I'm 42. I'm an environmental consultant from Staffordshire.

I'm Tracy. I'm 31. I'm a training consultant from Ormskirk in Lancashire.

I'm Cassam, a 22-year-old student from Hatfield.

I'm Pauline. I'm 48, from Hatchend in Middlesex, and I'm in customer services.

I'm Frank. I'm 72. I'm from Durham, now living in Dundee, and I'm a retired sailor.

In each round the aim is to answer enough questions

to reach your £1,000 target

within the time. The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers.

Get one wrong, you break the chain,

and lose the money in that chain. But if you say "bank"

before the question, the money is safe, but you start a chain

from scratch. At the end of the round

only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

Round One three minutes.

We'll start with the name that is first, alphabetically

Andy. Let's play The Weakest Link.

That was the correct answer the Ashes but it was out of time.

You had five questions wrong, but of the £1000 available you won just £550.

Let me remind you

that as the game progresses

the time gets shorter. You cannot afford anyone

who is already looking worryingly slow under pressure.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The statistics show that Phil is the strongest link.

The weakest is Pauline who was the only person to answer most questions wrongly.

But so early in the game will the team have picked up on this?

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

Pat, what do you do?

-I'm a housewife.

-Do you need to be able to read?

-Occasionally.

-Right. Not occasionally enough.

Why Pauline?

I don't think she got any right.

-She did get one.

-Did she? Sorry.

Never heard of Superman?

I have, but I can't remember the cast.

-Why Pauline?

-Because of...

hesitation.

You work in customer service,

-do you?

-I do.

-Not a lot of discussion of Shakespeare there.

-No.

Back you're going to customer service.

-You were the weakest link.

-My worst nightmare.

-The team's nightmare. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel absolutely gutted. The only thing I didn't want to do

was be voted off first, and I have been.

So, I'm upset about that, really.

I think Pat will be voted off next because she's probably a little bit nervous,

and she hesitated a bit.

Round Two. You've won £550 so far out of the possible £1000 you could have won. Eight of you left.

We dispensed with Pauline from customer services.

We'll take ten seconds off. We'll start with the strongest

And after all that work

you banked an embarrassing £20.

You're all rubbish,

but which one is more rubbish than the rest? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In this round, the only player to bank any money for the team was Pat,

so she is the strongest link.

Having lost the team the most, Cassam is the weakest link.

But who will lose out when it comes to the vote?

Voting over. It's time to reveal

who you think is the weakest link.

Andy,

-what are your hobbies?

-Any particular sport?

A bit of everything rugby, basketball.

-Not rambling.

-Why Cassam?

-I don't believe he had one right.

-Right.

Do they not have flowers in Ormskirk?

They do, but not those type, I'm sure.

-Why Cassam?

-He didn't get any questions right.

Did you leave your brains?

-I must have.

-Statistically, you were the worst. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

As an engineer, I should have got the catalyst question. I do it on a daily basis.

It didn't come to mind. Nine times out of ten it would.

Frank should go. He's delaying. He's got questions wrong. I don't think he's up

with modern culture that much.

Round Three. You could have won £2000 by now, in fact you have in the kitty an embarrassing £570.

You are seven players.

Ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest.

Time is up.

Another pitiful round where you banked only £250.

Who is costing you a great deal of money?

Who is breaking all the chains?

One of you is about to leave with nothing. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The player to answer all of her questions right was Nicola, so she is the strongest link.

Having got all of his questions wrong and losing the team money, Frank is the weakest link.

But will the votes follow the facts?

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

How's it going for you, Nicola?

-OK. Not bad.

-You don't like Frank?

It's not that. It's just that he didn't answer the questions and lost us money.

-Mel, why Frank?

-I remember... I don't think Frank got any right.

Right. Frank, not a great follower

of '80s rock bands.

-No.

-No. It's cost you. Statistically, you were the worst.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

The walk of shame at the end is really disheartening,

I think is the word. It's a thing that when you come you don't expect to do.

But if you're the weakest link you just have to take it.

I think in the next round,

most likely would be Andy because I think Andy did nearly as bad as I did in the last round.

Round Four.

£820 banked so far out of potential prize money of £3000. There are six of you left.

You now have only two and a half minutes. We'll start with the strongest link.

Another disastrous round where you banked only £90.

Who is very definitely the worst player?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

With the most correct, Mel is the strongest link in this round.

In a reversal of fortune, Nicola has gone from being the strongest link is the weakest link.

Will her previous success save her?

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

Phil, remind us again what you do.

-I'm an environmental consultant.

-Never heard of recycling?

-Yes, I have.

-Why Andy?

-I think he got more wrong than I did.

-Mel, why Andy?

-I think Andy got at least two wrong, maybe three.

-Right.

But Andy wasn't the weakest link, was he?

-No, it was me.

-How many questions did you get right?

-Zero.

-Right.

Well, statistically, you were of course the worst player.

But it's votes that count. Andy, with three votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel cheated to be voted off. It's disgraceful. I, clearly,

wasn't the weakest. Nicola was. So that's a bit unfair.

The team have gelled, but they are very poor.

There won't be much money up for grabs.

I don't think anyone will be celebrating too much.

Round Five. Your total is an abysmal £910 so far. If you'd hit your targets it would be £4000.

Five left. You've got rid of the woman from customer services, the student,

the sports development officer. This expert hasn't heard of recycling.

Ten seconds comes off the time. We start with the strongest link.

That's Mel. Let's play The Weakest Link.

The time is up.

And again, a spectacularly bad round.

You banked a pathetic £100.

I urge you to rid yourself of the dunce.

Ditch the dimwit. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Phil is the strongest link for the second time.

Pat is the weakest link, having answered all her questions wrong.

Will the other players have picked up on this?

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

Tracy, your hobby is concerts. You've never heard of The Lighthouse Family?

I have but I don't like them.

-Travel's another hobby. Is that just round Ormskirk?

-No, all over.

-Why Pat?

-I believe she got all her questions wrong.

Unlike you, who only got two of your questions wrong.

It's less than Pat got wrong.

Mel, how's it going for you?

Semi struggling.

-Why Pat?

-I think Pat was the worst of a bad bunch.

Were you the worst of a bad bunch, Pat?

-Yes. Well, actually, I don't think...

-No, the answer's yes.

Statistically, you were the worst of a bad bunch.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel a bit disappointed.

But I'm not too unhappy. The team's rubbish, anyway.

I couldn't bank anything

because people kept breaking the chain.

I can't tell you who will go on to win the game

because no-one is any good.

Round Six. You've won £1010.

If you'd been wide awake, you could have won £5000. Four of you left.

We're cutting ten seconds from your time. We start with the strongest link Phil.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up.

You answered just five questions correctly.

And you put into the kitty £40.

Who shouldn't be here any more,

if indeed they should have bothered to turn up today at all?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the third time, Phil is the strongest link.

The weakest link in this round is Tracy. She gave four wrong answers.

Will the voting reflect reality?

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

How do you think you did, Mel?

Bad. Very bad.

Even very, very, very bad.

-Why Tracy?

-Well, I think Tracy was...

as bad or almost as bad as me, but I can't vote for myself.

So I vote for Tracy.

Hard as it is to believe, she was actually just worse than you.

-Nicola, why Tracy?

-She had too many questions wrong.

There wasn't much choice.

Phil, we tapped another area of the environment you know nothing about.

-Biology. Didn't bother with that when you took your degree?

-No.

Tracy, you don't know the difference between whales and sharks.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I felt bad that I was on so many boards, especially as I'd got down

to the last four rounds. But I got all the questions wrong.

But I'm still angry about having to come off.

I think either Mel or Nicola will go off next.

There's not much in it there. They've had equally bad rounds.

Round Seven.

You have in the kitty £1050

out of a possible £6000 you could have won by now. Three of you left.

Another ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link Phil.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

you banked £190. In Round Eight, you treble what you bank.

That means, in the next round,

there's £3000 to be won.

The question is, who needs to be given their marching orders?

Vote off the weakest link.

The statistics show Nicola is the strongest link.

Phil's run as strongest link is over. He's the weakest link.

At this crucial stage,

who will survive the vote?

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

-Nicola, why Mel?

-He had the most questions wrong.

You didn't do very well in that round.

I had some right, some wrong.

-Two wrong.

-Two wrong.

You did even worse, Phil.

Did I?

Three wrong.

Tell me, the people that you work for

who think you're an environmental consultant,

do they know you know nothing about geography, chemistry, biology?

Yeah, but I know a lot about water which is why I was employed.

-Not your charm, certainly.

-No.

Mel,

it went from really bad to really, really bad.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It's disappointing to get all that way and be voted out one from the end.

Because I had a good chance against Nicola or Phil. They weren't very good.

In the final analysis, Phil will win.

He's not going to win a fortune, it's not a big jackpot.

He's better than Nicola. Her general knowledge isn't that good.

Round Eight.

There's £1240 in the bank

out of a possible £7000.

Nicola and Phil left. You have only 90 seconds.

But whatever you win in this round

will be trebled and added to your total prize money.

So £3000 is at stake in this round.

We'll start with the strongest link Nicola.
