28/08/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine people preparing for the show,

only one takes home the prize money of up to £10,000.

The others will 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 prize money, they have to work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing as, each round,

we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

I'm Lindsay. I'm 36. I'm a personal assistant from Stevenage.

I'm Alastair, 62.

I'm a retired teacher from Turriff in Aberdeenshire.

I'm Shirley, 44, a full-time mum from Rotherham.

I'm Stephen. I'm 41. I'm a dentist from Peterborough.

I'm Sarah. I'm 29. I'm a nurse from the Wirral.

I'm Marion. I'm 60 and I'm a retired primary school teacher from Greater Manchester.

I'm Karl. I'm 34. I'm a taxi driver from Hereford.

I'm Nessa. I'm 19. I'm a student radiographer from Hatfield.

I'm Richard. I'm 23. I'm unemployed from Fleet in Hampshire.

Now the rules. The aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your £1000 target

within the time limit.

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

Get a question wrong and break the chain and lose all the money.

Say "bank" before the question is asked, the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

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

In Round One, there are three minutes on the clock.

We start with the one whose name is first alphabetically.

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

The first question is for £20. Start the clock.

And in that first round, you had a very disappointing £550 out of the £1000 you could have won.

The question is who is holding you back?

Who has answered more questions incorrectly than correctly?

Who is worrying you? One of you is about to leave with nothing. Time to vote off the weakest link.

Nessa is the strongest link of this game.

The statistics show Sarah is the weakest link.

At this early stage, how will they decide?

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

I tell you, as a team, that at one point

in that first round, you answered 12 questions in a row correctly.

So if you'd banked intelligently, you could easily have reached the £1,000 target,

instead of only banking, in the end, £550.

Marion,

-did all your questions work?

-I think so.

Good. What about Sarah?

-She got her first question wrong and lost us a chain of money.

-Sarah, where do you live?

-The Wirral.

-Whereabouts?

-Irby.

-Irby? And how far is that from Wales?

Erm...not too far.

-How far?

-I don't know exactly.

-You don't know much about Wales.

No.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

The worst thing about playing this is the fear of getting voted off in the first round.

I was dreading that the most.

Lindsay might be voted off next. She's nervous.

And she got two questions wrong, like me.

Round Two. There's £550 in the kitty.

There are eight of you left.

We are taking ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link.

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

Start the clock.

Who is not cutting the mustard, if they ever cut the mustard?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Karl is the strongest link statistically.

The weakest link is Lindsay, although she did bank £100.

But who will lose out in the vote?

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

Stephen, what do you do?

-I'm a dentist.

-Are you?

-Why Lindsay?

-It was hard to choose, but I think she got a few wrong.

-Shirley, why Lindsay?

-I remember her getting a few questions wrong.

-I can't remember anyone else getting more than one.

-Can't you?

-No.

Do you remember anyone getting a few questions wrong?

-I can.

-Who's that?

-Me.

Why Lindsay?

-She got two questions wrong like me.

-Right. Lindsay.

-Where are you from?

-Stevenage in Hertfordshire.

-Did you leave something at home this morning?

-I must have.

You can go back and find it. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was devastated when I saw everyone vote for me,

but I expected it, because I was the weakest link.

Marion will go next. She got a question wrong

in the last round and the first round, so she will be voted off next.

Round Three and so far you've won £1050.

You're down to seven players.

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

Karl. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

You only banked £190.

Who's one card short of a full deck?

Who needs to go? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Shirley got all her questions correct, as the strongest link.

The weakest link is Marion, who failed to get any correct.

Will the voting follow the facts?

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

Shirley...

-How's it going for you?

-Right.

I don't think we'll get any questions about them.

-Alastair...

-Yes?

-Not a good round for you, was it?

I didn't think it was a disastrous round.

Maybe you just irritate everyone.

You got lots of votes if you didn't have a disastrous round.

Do you think the team doesn't like you?

-How many questions did I get wrong?

-Just one.

Yes, that wasn't bad.

What was wrong with Marion?

She was unlucky, she got two or three wrong,

having had two good rounds before.

Where did you go just then, Marion?

I don't know. I think my brain went away.

I think it did. You're retired?

-I am.

-From doing what?

-Teaching.

-Did you retire a long time ago?

Seven years.

-Have you forgotten everything?

-Most of it.

Well, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed at being voted off so early.

I thought I'd go further. I had hopes of winning.

I think Alastair will go next.

In the last round he only got one vote less than me.

I think the pressure's beginning to get to him.

Round Four. £1240 banked, out of potential prize money of £3000.

Six of you left, another ten seconds comes off the time.

You now have only 2½ minutes.

We start with the strongest link - Shirley. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

Who is a luxury you cannot afford?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Richard answered all his questions right and is the strongest link.

Statistics show Nessa is the weakest link.

How will the team decide?

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

Interesting...we have a tie.

Alastair and Stephen, the retired teacher and the dentist.

Two votes each.

Nessa...

A bit of revenge going on here?

I just voted for Stephen because he got two wrong in that round.

Karl with a K... Had enough of Alastair?

He's a bit like the Scottish rugby team - not up to scratch.

When the vote is tied,

the strongest link has the deciding vote. Richard... why Alastair?

On top of the round before when he didn't do so well,

and this round, I was under the impression he got a couple wrong.

-He was one to vote for.

-He didn't get a couple wrong.

He only got one question wrong.

Will you stick with Alastair or change your mind and get rid of the dentist?

I'm going to stay with Alastair.

The weakest link wasn't Alastair, and it wasn't Stephen. It was Nessa.

But Alastair, Richard's had enough of you.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel devastated and shattered by it all.

It was very obvious I was not the weakest link.

And yet in two successive rounds,

there was definitely a "let's get Alastair" campaign.

Probably I'd like to see Stephen go next.

He had a good start, but he's deteriorating a bit now.

Round Five. £1480 in the kitty. Five of you left.

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

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

After all that work, you banked a miserable £150. What's going on?

Who is the hole in your pockets?

Who is throwing money away, not banking, or not answering correctly?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Only Stephen answered all his questions correctly,

and is the strongest link.

Shirley only got one right, making her the weakest link.

But who will lose out in the vote?

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

We have a tie again.

This time Shirley...and Nessa. Two votes each.

Nessa...

What happened to sisterhood?

I felt Shirley was the weakest link this time.

Shirley...why Nessa?

I'm clutching at straws. I thought she was as bad as me.

When the vote is tied,

the strongest link decides.

Stephen... who would you like to extract from the team?

I wouldn't like to extract anyone. They're both lovely ladies.

-Get on with it, Stephen.

-I won't build my part up. Shirley.

Why?

I thought she got more wrong than Nessa. I'll stick with it.

Statistically...

Shirley WAS the weakest link, she only got one question right.

She answered three incorrectly.

Nessa only got one incorrect and three correct.

Stephen has decided, Shirley. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think Stephen had it in for me.

In Round One he voted me the weakest link and I wasn't.

Nowhere near.

Nessa will be voted off next. She's riding her luck.

She's hanging on by the skin of her teeth.

Round Six. £1630 won so far.

Four of you left. Ten seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest link last time - Stephen.

Time is up. I cannot complete the question and you banked £190.

These are crucial rounds.

I urge you...

Keep the mean and ditch the lean.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Stephen is the strongest link for the second time

and for the second time Nessa is the weakest.

Can she survive another vote?

Time to reveal who YOU think is the weakest link.

Oh. A bit of variety there.

Stephen...

Why Karl?

No particular reason. He's done very well.

I just remember him getting a few wrong in that round.

Nessa...

Kubrick's last film called according to you, Shut Eye. What was that about?

I knew those words were in it.

I just didn't get them in order.

Now, why have you voted for Karl?

I don't remember him getting one right.

Oh, he did.

He did. He got two right.

He got two right and three wrong. How do you think you did?

I don't know how many I got wrong but I only got one right.

Hmm. You got three wrong.

So, what do you think that means?

That I was the weakest link.

Statistically you certainly were.

Karl, you weren't statistically the worst, but with two votes,

you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was a victim of tactical voting.

I was the strongest link in Round Five

and not the weakest in Round Six.

The person I least want to win

is Nessa because she has tactically voted me out of the game.

I think Stephen will win.

He's been strong throughout,

answering quite a few correctly.

Round Seven. You have £1820.

There are three of you left.

Ten seconds off the clock.

We start with strongest link - Stephen.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

According to the proverb...

Time is up. You won £90 in that round.

In Round Eight, you get the chance to treble what you bank,

so there's £3000 to be won.

The question is, who is least likely

to make the winner rich?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Stephen is the strongest link for the third time.

Having survived twice as the weakest,

Nessa is again the worst player.

But at this crucial stage,

can she survive yet again?

Voting over. Time to say who you see as the weakest link.

-Stephen, why Nessa?

-I think she got a lot wrong in that round.

Well...five. Richard, why Nessa?

I think Stephen got more right than Nessa,

and she'd lagged before, so...

Right, well, it's the end of girlpower, Nessa.

With two votes, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was pleased with my performance today.

I'm glad I wasn't voted off early.

I didn't rate my chance of winning.

I felt I'd lose out in the middle. And I did.

I'd like to see Stephen win. He's a very nice guy.

He has a wider knowledge and I feel he'll be the strongest link today.

Round Eight.

£1910 in the kitty out of a possible £7000. Just you two left.

This time you have only 90 seconds,

but whatever you win in this round will be trebled and used to make up your final prize.

£3000 is at stake in this round.

We start with the strongest link. Let's play The Weakest Link.
