0:36:03 > 0:36:05There is very little time left.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Who needs to be dumped?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11It's time to vote off the weakest link.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Dougie is the strongest link with the most correct answers.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Tina is this round's weakest link.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24But who will lose out in the voting at this crucial stage?
0:36:26 > 0:36:30It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42We have a three-way tie, Tina, Dougie and Natalie.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44You voted for each other. Natalie...
0:36:45 > 0:36:51- ..what happened to you in that round?- I'm not sure exactly.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- I just didn't get the right questions.- Why Dougie?
0:36:55 > 0:36:59I just think we all had a pretty hard time of it.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02But it had to be somebody and it's hard to choose.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Tina,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- how do you think you did?- Awful. - That sums it up well.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14- Why Natalie?- We both only got one right. I couldn't vote for myself.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Right. But statistically you were weaker than her.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20She banked money, yes.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Now the rather inflexible Dougie...
0:37:23 > 0:37:29- I don't suppose you'll change your mind. You have the casting vote.- I'm afraid not.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33So you are the weakest link, Tina. Goodbye.
0:37:41 > 0:37:48I feel gutted. The third last person to go out and that was my first bad round so I'm not very happy.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53The hardest thing about the game is when you have one bad round
0:37:53 > 0:37:59and you're penalised for it, but you do it to everyone else so it's quite fair.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Dougie has been the strongest link a few times.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Natalie has been very lucky on the voting.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13Round Eight. You've won £2250 so far out of a possible £7000.
