24/05/2012 Weakest Link

Nine contestants are preparing for the show. Only one will take home

up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing, as they are voted

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 are strangers. If they want to win, they must 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 John, 63. I'm a retired bank manager from Wellington in Somerset.

I'm Natalie, 20, a student from Hertfordshire.

I'm Kenny, 44, a minibus driver from Manchester.

I'm Nathan, 23, a fashion stylist from Fulham.

I'm Tina, 41, an administrator from Southampton.

I'm Dougie, 39, an analyst programmer from Cardiff.

I'm Catherine, 38, a nursery inspector from Solihull.

I'm Joan, 80, a retired book-keeper from Surrey.

I'm Richard, 29, a manager from Nottingham.

In each round, the aim is to get enough questions correct

to reach £1,000.

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

A wrong question breaks the chain and you lose all the money.

Say, "bank", before a question and the money is safe, but you start a new chain.

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

Round One

is three minutes and we start with the person who is first alphabetically.

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

to win and not to be voted off first

I was the weakest link in the first round,

but I know I'm better than six of those that are still there.

When the boards turned over with my name on, I was gutted.

In the first round, I'd done better than most people.

All of them are fickle and two-faced

They're not playing as a team. I don't care who is next to come off

Round Three. You could have won £2,000.

In fact, you have in your kitty just £850.

You've got rid of the driver and the fashion stylist.

-I remember her getting one wrong.

Right.

-Joan, why John?

-The only one I thought got one wrong.

-You haven't got much of a memory, then?

-At times, but it can let me down.

-Catherine, why Joan?

-She dithered.

-You haven't dithered?

-No.

You thought she was the weakest link?

-Yes.

-Hm. Statistically, Catherine, she was NOT the weakest link.

Do you want to guess who was?

-Me?

-That's correct.

When the vote is tied,

the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

Richard, you have a choice.

Joan, Catherine or John?

Erm...

-I'll go for John.

-Why?

-He could be a threat in the future.

-Oh, I see. You're not playing as a team any more.

-Yes and no.

That doesn't bode well for future rounds, I wouldn't have thought.

John, because he's not a team player, Richard's decided you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel gutted. I wasn't the weakest link. I banked quite a bit of money.

I really thought that he would vote for Catherine.

I think Catherine will go next. She is passing on a lot of questions

I really think that she'll be the next one to go.

Round Four.

You've banked £1600 so far out of a potential prize money of £3000.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The only one without a wrong answer was Dougie

so he's the strongest link.

In a dramatic reversal of fortune, Richard has become the weakest link.

Will his previous good performance save him?

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

Another tie. Richard, Tina and Natalie, two votes each.

-Natalie, why Tina?

-It had to be someone and the panda question was hard

-but she got it wrong and that's what stuck out in my mind.

-Right.

-Tina, why Richard?

-Because he got two wrong.

Right.

-Richard, why Natalie?

-She was the only one

that stuck out as getting one wrong so it's not tactical.

-It's not because she's a threat.

-No.

Dougie, as the strongest link, you cast the deciding vote.

I'll just point out

that the weakest link was Richard.

-I'm still going to stick with Richard.

-Why?

He got a couple wrong and I have to choose someone.

I said if I was in this position,

I'd stick with what I had on the sheet

so that's what I'm going to do.

Richard, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

The question on cheese - I've got hell to pay.

My wife and all my in-laws are Italian.

So I'm going to cop a lot of flak for that.

I paid for voting for John

because that was a tactical vote and you're not supposed to do it

but, hey, it's harsh out there, isn't it?

Round five and of the £4000 you could have won by now, your total so far is £2020.

There are five of you left.

Ten seconds off the time. We start with Dougie, the strongest link.

Tina gave four correct answers and is this round's strongest link.

The worst player is Joan, who gave three incorrect answers.

But have the others picked up on this?

Voting over, it's time to reveal the weakest link.

-Catherine, why Joan?

-She got a few wrong, I'm afraid.

-So did you.

-Not so many.

-Tina, what happened to you in that round?

-I did well for a change.

-Why Joan?

-She DIDN'T do very well.

-Joan, you're not much good on speed, are you?

-I don't seem to be, no.

With three votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I didn't mind being voted out too much. I've done reasonably well - for my age.

And I've actually got onto a BBC game show.

I've been hoping to do that.

They are playing tactically. But it's hard to remember who got questions wrong.

So you might vote for somebody and be unkind.

Round six. You've won £2170 out of a possible £5000.

We are cutting ten seconds off the time.

We start with Tina, the strongest.

-No, I'll stick with what I've got.

-Why?

Like I said before, I feel I have to stick with what I believe in.

That must be tricky at home!

Catherine,

-you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

I was disappointed to be voted off in that round but I did deserve it

because I did make a mess of it.

Natalie might be voted off next. Maybe because she's younger

and won't know as much.

Round Seven. You started well

and have gone down the drain ever since.

You have now only £2190 out of £6000 you could have won.

Another ten seconds off the clock.

We start with Dougie. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

there is £3000 to be won.

But who is least likely

to help you raise that bank balance?

There is very little time left.

Who needs to be dumped?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Dougie is the strongest link with the most correct answers.

Tina is this round's weakest link.

But who will lose out in the voting at this crucial stage?

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

We have a three-way tie, Tina, Dougie and Natalie.

You voted for each other. Natalie...

-..what happened to you in that round?

-I'm not sure exactly.

-I just didn't get the right questions.

-Why Dougie?

I just think we all had a pretty hard time of it.

But it had to be somebody and it's hard to choose.

Tina,

-how do you think you did?

-Awful.

-That sums it up well.

-Why Natalie?

-We both only got one right. I couldn't vote for myself.

Right. But statistically you were weaker than her.

She banked money, yes.

Now the rather inflexible Dougie...

-I don't suppose you'll change your mind. You have the casting vote.

-I'm afraid not.

So you are the weakest link, Tina. Goodbye.

I feel gutted. The third last person to go out and that was my first bad round so I'm not very happy.

The hardest thing about the game is when you have one bad round

and you're penalised for it, but you do it to everyone else so it's quite fair.

Dougie has been the strongest link a few times.

Natalie has been very lucky on the voting.

Round Eight. You've won £2250 so far out of a possible £7000.

Natalie and Dougie,

only two of you left and you have just 90 seconds. But whatever you win

will be trebled and added to your total final prize money.

So £3000 pounds is at stake.

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

You managed to win £120. We'll treble that and add it to the previous winnings.

Only one of you can take that money away.

So now you will be playing against each other.
