0:34:36 > 0:34:40- Bank.- Who was born first, Purcell or Elgar?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Time is up.
0:34:44 > 0:34:50The correct answer was Henry Purcell. You managed to win £200.
0:34:50 > 0:34:56In Round Eight, you get the chance to treble what you bank, so there's £3000 to be won.
0:34:56 > 0:35:03The question is, who is getting slower and dimmer, and will not do you any favours?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06It's time to vote off the weakest link.
0:35:09 > 0:35:15With only one incorrect answer, Austin is the strongest link for the second time.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Jo only got one question right, making her the weakest link.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22But at this crucial stage, who will lose out?
0:35:25 > 0:35:30Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Chris.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- You're a fireman.- I am.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45When you're rescuing people
0:35:45 > 0:35:47from burning buildings,
0:35:47 > 0:35:54- do you leave the weakest to look after themselves and help the strongest?- Oh, no. Never.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Right.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00So, why, when I asked for you to vote off the weakest link,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02have you voted for Austin?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04CHRIS: He's better than me.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- So, no courage?- No. Total cowardice.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Right.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Jo.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- Hello.- How do you think you did in that round?
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Again, appalling. I'm amazed I'm still here, to be honest.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20And let's be honest again. Why Austin?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Well, I thought Chris was better than Austin.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Really?- JO: Yes.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30I know I was the weakest link. Chris was probably strongest.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32No, he wasn't, by any means.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Oh. I thought Austin was the weakest link.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- Well, weaker out of the two. - Stop digging, Jo. Austin.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Statistically, you were the strongest link in that round.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50But, Jo, who was the worst player,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52and Chris, the second worst player,
0:36:52 > 0:36:58who worryingly doesn't know the difference between weak and strong...
0:36:58 > 0:37:03They want rid of you. Technically you are the weakest link, goodbye.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14I think Jo and Chris, they were both standing together.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19And I think it was possibly tactical voting.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23I think it'll be very close but Chris might win today.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Round Eight
0:37:28 > 0:37:31and so far you've won £2760.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Jo and Chris, two of you left
0:37:33 > 0:37:35and this time you have 90 seconds.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37But whatever you win is trebled
0:37:37 > 0:37:41and added to your total for your final prize money.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43£3000 is at stake in this round.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46You voted off the strongest link.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50So we'll start with the second strongest link, that's Chris.
