23/07/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine people HERE for today's show

only one will get the prize money

of up to £10,000.

The others leave with nothing after 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 money, they'll have to work as a team.

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 Roger, 48, from Plymouth.

A retired gully-machine attendant.

I'm Suzanne. I'm 29.

I'm a customer services officer from Edinburgh.

I'm Charles, 65, from Suffolk,

and I'm a retired post office manager.

I'm Barbara. I'm 55. I'm a medical secretary from Newmarket.

I'm Paul. I'm 22, from Bradford and I'm an engineer.

I'm Feeona. I'm 38 and a staff nurse from Horsham.

I'm Wayne. I'm 31. I'm a chemical production worker from Tamworth.

My name is Judy. I'm 43.

I'm a police officer from the West Midlands.

I'm Malcolm, 51. I'm a town centre manager from Tyne And Wear.

Now, the rules. In each round, answer enough questions correctly to reach £1,000

within the time limit.

The fastest way is with a chain of nine answers.

Get a question wrong,

and you break the chain and lose the money.

But, if you say "bank" before the question is asked,

the money is safe, but you start a new chain.

At the end of the round, only banked money can go forward.

In Round One, there are three minutes.

We'll start with the person who's first alphabetically.

That's you, Barbara. Let's play The Weakest Link.

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Feeona is the strongest link, statistically.

All Judy's answers were incorrect, so she is the weakest link.

But who will lose out in the first vote?

Voting over. It's time to reveal

who you think is the weakest link.

Charles, why Judy?

I felt she struggled a bit there.

She seemed... I don't know why the questions didn't come right.

Judy, what do you do?

I'm a police officer.

Right. Are you here undercover?

-No.

-Oh, right.

-You weren't impersonating someone with general knowledge?

-No.

One of the questions threw me. I felt it was ambiguous.

-We verballed you?!

-Yes.

-We think it was a fair cop.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Standing there, in front of Annie, as a police officer,

is like standing in front of one of the sternest judges.

When she said she'd verballed me, it brought everything home.

I felt that high.

The person I think should be voted off next is Malcolm.

He got one question wrong, the same as me.

Round Two. You've so far won only £350.

There are eight players left.

But you have dispensed with police intelligence.

10 seconds off the clock.

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

Let's play The Weakest Link.

But whose knowledge is as slim as a Midlands police officer's?

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

The strongest link is Suzanne, while the statistics show Wayne is the weakest link.

But will the voting follow the facts?

Voting over. Time to reveal

who you think is the weakest link.

Roger, you didn't think Wayne was up to scratch?

Not that time.

No. Right. Suzanne?

Why Wayne?

I think he got most of his questions wrong.

Right.

-Paul, why Wayne?

-He got all his questions, bar one, wrong.

-Right.

-Wayne, have you been taking lessons from Officer Judy?

-It seems like it, doesn't it?

-Yeah, it does.

Join her. Compare notes on how unfair we are. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Doing the Walk Of Shame, I felt embarrassed and angry.

Angry, as it was too early for me. Embarrassed cos my friends will see it.

The person I'd least like to win is Roger,

because he's not a team player.

I think he's a bit dodgy.

Round Three, and of the £2000 you could have won by now,

you have in the bank just:

You're down to seven players.

We're taking another ten seconds off.

We start with the strongest link.

Suzanne. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Who seriously now is a waste of space?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Charles answered four correctly, making him the strongest link.

Malcolm is the weakest link statistically but will the voting reflect reality?

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

We have a tie. Paul and Malcolm, three votes each.

Malcolm, the disease is catching. Have you been under the tutelage of Officer Judy as well?

It's getting very lonely over here.

-You might not have to suffer it for long. Why Paul?

-I think he got

-the same number wrong as I did.

-Paul?

Despite having geography as a special interest,

you don't think you should have known the capital of Uruguay?

Geography's changed since you were at school.

-It's not just where places are.

-So you don't need to know South America?

You've got to understand it too.

-Charles, why Malcolm?

-I felt he was struggling. He hesitated

-once or twice.

-Right.

OK, well, when the vote is tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

Charles, as strongest link, you can decide to get rid of Malcolm, who is struggling,

or Paul, who doesn't think he needs to know anything unless he's experienced it himself.

I think I'll stay with my original choice. Malcolm.

-Why's that?

-Because...I felt that

-he struggled a bit more than Paul.

-Right, Malcolm...

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I thought my overall performance wasn't too bad. I was warming up.

Unfortunately, being out on a limb, I lost touch with the rest.

The next person to go will be Paul. He managed

to scrape through by the skin of his teeth.

His knowledge has been lacking. I don't think he'll stay.

Round Four and so far £840 banked. There are six of you left.

We are taking ten seconds off the clock.

You now have 2½ minutes. We start with the strongest link:

Charles. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up and after all that work, you only put into your kitty

£200. Remember, she who stumbles

should not survive. He who hesitates deserves a hard time. Vote off the weakest link.

Roger is now the strongest link.

Charles goes from strongest to weakest link,

but will his earlier performance be enough to save him in the vote?

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

Is Paul not clever enough?

I think he's about as clever as I am.

Right.

Suzanne, why Paul?

We were all pretty rotten in that round,

but Paul's the one who stuck in my mind.

-Yeah.

-He wasn't, was he, Charles?

-No, he wasn't. I went off tune there.

-How could you not know who Patsy Kensit was married to?

-I'm not into media or fame.

We're not into having you here.

If you don't need knowledge of things you haven't experienced, take the Walk Of Shame.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Anne could be the next Baroness Thatcher,

if this country wants a leader in her vein.

She'd do well if she used her Weakest Link persona.

I think Charles will probably go next, if he has a round

like last time. He got loads of questions wrong,

and hesitated, so he cost time and money.

Round Five.

Your total so far is...

There are five of you left. We are taking another ten seconds off the time.

£100 is what you won

in that round. Who is seriously out of step

compared with the rest of you?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Barbara is the strongest link statistically.

Charles is the weakest link for the second time.

Will the others have noticed?

Can he survive another vote?

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

Interesting. We have a tie.

Charles and Roger, two votes each. Charles,

why Roger?

Well, he started very well,

but, like me, he seems to have gone off in that round.

It's the worst round he's had.

-He wasn't the weakest link.

-No. I think

-I

-was.

Roger, why Charles?

Cos I thought he was the weakest link.

Right. Well, when the vote is tied,

the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

Barbara, who would you like to get rid of?

I think I'll stick with my original vote.

-Why's that, Barbara?

-I thought...

It's his tattoos, perhaps?

No, not at all. No, not at...

-He voted for me the last time.

-Good enough reason.

Don't vote for the women. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It's the way the game goes. The way the mop flops.

Playing it is harder than I thought it would be.

When I sat at home, it was a piece of cake.

But on television it's a bit more stressful.

The next to go could be Charles.

He was the last round's weakest link.

It looks like he's fading fast.

Round Six.

Four of you left.

We cut another ten seconds from your time.

We start with the strongest link Barbara.

Who would be better retiring gracefully?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

After being the weakest link twice,

Charles is now the strongest link for a second time.

The weakest link is Suzanne, who answered all her questions wrong.

But what will the team take into account as they vote?

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

Right. Charles,

why Feeona?

I thought she had a hard time

in that round. Started well,

but seems to have struggled since.

Barbara, why Feeona?

Similar reasons to Charles.

She got more questions wrong than us.

-Nothing to do with her voting for you in the last round?

-No. Really.

No. It was coincidence. Pure and simple.

You thought she was the weakest link?

-Er...yes, I did.

-She wasn't, was she, Suzanne?

No.

Statistically, you were the worst player.

-Hm. Bad round.

-Right. Feeona,

-unwise to have voted for Barbara.

-Obviously.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I should still be there. I wasn't the weakest link.

Suzanne was. I voted her out, but the others didn't think so.

My son will tease me about the military history question.

He'll know it, and he's only nine.

The person I'd least like to see win is Barbara.

The only reason she voted for me

was because I voted for her before.

Round Seven. Three of you left,

and a far from impressive amount in the bank.

Another ten seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link Charles.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

you banked £270.

In Round Eight you can treble what you bank,

so there's £3000 to be won.

The question is: whose time is up? Time to vote off the weakest link.

Barbara is the strongest link again.

In a dramatic reversal of fortune,

Charles has gone from strongest to weakest,

but, at this crucial stage, can he survive a third vote?

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

Barbara, why Charles?

It was very close. It was like a toss of a coin,

and I thought Charles was perhaps more hesitant than Suzanne.

It wasn't that close, was it, Suzanne?

Charles got four wrong, and Suzanne got two wrong.

You've decided the women should unite?

No, I just felt Charles was the weakest link.

So, Charles, the thorn between two roses, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

To have come so far and be voted off was a bit of a blow,

but I think I did deserve it.

I think today's winner will be Barbara.

She started very nervously,

but she's got stronger,

whereas I think her opponent has gone the other way.

Round Eight. There's £1510 in the bank. Suzanne and Barbara,

just two of you left, and 90 seconds.

But what you win in this round will be trebled.

So, £3000 is at stake in this round.
