31/08/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine people preparing for today's show,

only one will win the prize money of up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing, after being 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 don't know each other but if they want the money, they'll have to work as a team.

But eight will leave with nothing,

as, round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

My name's Kate. I'm 27 and I'm a civil servant from Christchurch.

I'm Ray. I'm 52. I'm a book-dealer from Newquay in Cornwall.

My name's Anne. I'm 36 and an insurance claims adviser from Norwich.

I'm Stuart. I'm 23. I'm a sales executive from Middlesex.

I'm Elaine. I'm 47. I'm a local government officer from Birmingham.

I'm Dave. I'm 48 and a maths teacher from Nottinghamshire.

I'm Eugenia, 54, a retail manager from Liverpool, now living in Wales.

I'm Jason, a 31-year-old civil servant from Sheffield.

I'm Johnny. I'm 68, from Aberdeen. I used to be to be a university lecturer.

Now, the rules.

The aim is to answer enough questions to win £1000 in the time limit.

The fastest way is via a chain of nine correct answers.

Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose all the money.

If you say "bank" before a question,

the money is safe,

but you start a new chain from scratch.

Remember - at the end of the round only money that has been banked is carried forward.

Round One lasts for three minutes. We start with the first alphabetically - Anne.

Time is up.

And...

out of the £1000 you could have won,

you actually banked a very unimpressive £420.

Who, even at this extremely early stage in the game,

is probably beyond help? One of you is set to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Eugenia is the first strongest link statistically.

The weakest is Johnny.

But, at this stage, what factors will come into play?

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

Well, we have a tie. Johnny and Elaine - four votes each.

-Anne, why Elaine?

-Well, I wasn't paying much attention to the others.

But I remember her getting one wrong.

Right. You WEREN'T paying much attention. She got two questions wrong.

Ray, why Johnny?

I remember him getting two wrong.

I know Elaine did, and I was trying to decide which one to vote off.

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

Eugenia, you are the strongest.

You voted for Johnny. You can change your vote.

Do you want to get rid of Johnny or Elaine?

I'll stick with Johnny.

-Why?

-Well, a retired lecturer

should have known more than he did.

That's a very good point.

-What did you teach at university?

-Accountancy.

-Can you add up?

-Yes.

-Good.

You don't know much else, though. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

To be the first one off is not good for the self-esteem,

but one has to accept what happens.

I think that it might be Elaine that goes next,

because she was jointly weak with me in the first round,

so her weakness might show again.

Round Two.

You've won £420. Eight of you left.

We are now taking ten seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest link - Eugenia.

But will the voting reflect this?

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

Elaine.

-You're a member of Mensa?

-I am.

So, you must feel on borrowed time.

I think I'm very fortunate still to be here.

-Why Ray?

-I remember Ray got two questions wrong in that round.

So, you're a Mensa member with a memory? Even more astonishing.

Stuart, why Ray?

He got a couple wrong, and the others done well.

Or even DID reasonably well. Thank you.

Right. Ray, you're a football referee.

So, you don't need much general knowledge, do you?

No, I don't have much to do with marquesses.

And not much to do with this show now. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I didn't expect to go out this early in the game.

It seems much easier at home,

when I easily last four rounds.

I think that possibly Jason could go next. He looks shaky.

But, then again, not as shaky as I did.

Round Three.

So far, you've won £740.

There are seven of you left.

We take away another ten seconds.

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

Who should go? Who is a luxury you cannot afford?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Eugenia is the strongest link for the second time.

Kate is the weakest link statistically.

But who will lose in the vote?

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

Dave, what do you do?

-I'm a teacher.

-What do you teach?

-Maths.

-So you can add up?

-Most of the time.

-Why Kate?

-Although she had some hard questions,

she got three wrong, Anne.

You counted that OK. Unusual for maths teachers who come on.

-Jason, why Kate?

-She got more wrong.

Right. Kate,

you're statistically the worst player in that round AND overall.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It's one thing to watch it on TV. It's different to be here

with a camera and Anne in front of you. It's a lot of pressure.

Stuart will be voted off next

because he was nervous throughout the game.

He's a bit giggly so he may begin to crack up under the pressure.

Round Four. £1130 banked so far.

Six of you left. Another ten seconds off the time.

You now have two and a half minutes.

We'll start with the strongest link - Eugenia.

And you banked an impressive £670.

But is there somebody here

who will hold you back?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

The strongest link is Elaine this time.

Stuart is the weakest link. He was the only one to get questions wrong.

But will the voting reflect reality?

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

Elaine...

-Yes, Anne?

-How long have you been a member of MENSA?

-About eight years.

An unusual member, aren't you? Certainly, to still be here.

-Why Stuart?

-I know Stuart got questions wrong.

-Dave, what did Stuart do to upset you?

-We got two wrong

-and I think Stuart got them both.

-And he answered none on grammar.

He still managed to get two wrong.

-What do you do, Stuart?

-Um...

Are you sure what you do?

-You're not sure?

-I sell finance.

-Do you?

-I do, indeed.

-To who?

-Well, I did!

Stuart used to sell finance.

With five votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I came here to last past the first round.

Two rounds later, you get a taste for it and think "I could go all the way."

I didn't, but you win some, you lose some.

Anne picked up on my grammar.

All of my friends, their grammar's worse.

I shouldn't get any stick at home.

Round Five. Your total so far is £1800.

Five of you left.

Another ten seconds off the time. We start with the strongest link - Elaine!

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

You banked £340.

Who do you need to retire? Who is past their best?

Who should be on their way home?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Anne was the only one to answer all her questions, making her the strongest link.

Jason is the weakest link.

But how will the voting go?

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

Interesting. We have a tie. Jason and Elaine.

Two votes each. Jason, why Elaine?

She got two questions wrong, like myself. But I thought hers were easier.

They're easy if you know them.

-Elaine, the MENSA member, how much does it cost a year?

-£35.

Really? What do you get for that?

You get a magazine, a chance to go to meetings which are boring.

-Full of other MENSA members?

-Yes. It's why I don't go.

-A bit of a waste of money.

-It is. Perhaps I'll cancel after this.

Why Jason?

I remember Jason got a question wrong.

Oh, right. He got two wrong, actually.

Do you know anyone else who got two wrong?

-Probably me.

-Yeah, that's right. When the vote is tied,

the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

Anne, you didn't vote for Elaine or Jason. Who do you want?

I think to stop you having a go at Elaine about MENSA,

-I'll say Elaine.

-That's a good idea.

Elaine, the member from MENSA,

which costs £35 a year,. you are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I don't think it's fair as I wasn't the weakest link.

Anne has it in for MENSA members. Maybe she was one or failed the test.

But I think she's got it in for MENSA members.

I think Jason is probably on borrowed time.

I think Jason will be the next to be voted off.

Round Six. You've won £2140 so far.

There are four of you left, including Jason who was the worst last time.

We're cutting ten seconds off your time.

We start with the strongest link - Anne.

Time is up,

and you banked £300.

But who are you going to dump?

Who might not come up with the goods

in these final, very, very tough rounds?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Anne is the strongest link, for the second time.

Dave is the weakest link. He answered two incorrectly.

But whose time is up?

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

Anne. Why Jason?

I remember he got a question wrong,

and he was the weakest link in the prior round.

-Right. You thought he was the weakest link?

-Yes.

Eugenia.

Why Jason?

He's prettier than me, and I can't stand the competition.

You thought him the weakest link?

Possibly.

Dave, statistically you were the worst player.

But with three votes, Jason,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Pretty gutting to be voted off,

especially as I wasn't the weakest link.

I'd love Eugenia to go. She voted for me twice. I remember that.

I think the final will be Anne and Dave, and Anne might take it.

Round Seven, and there's £2440 in the kitty.

Three remain: Anne, who's in insurance,

Dave, a maths teacher, and Eugenia, who supports Everton.

Ten more seconds come off the clock.

We start with the strongest, Anne.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up.

You banked £120. In Round Eight, you get the chance

to treble what you bank.

So, in the next round, £3000 can be won.

The question is, have you the courage

to stay with your biggest rival

in order to get that bank balance as high as possible?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Eugenia is strongest link, for the third time.

Anne had a disastrous round.

Seven incorrect answers make her the weakest link.

But at this crucial stage in the game,

who will lose out in the vote?

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

We have a three-way tie.

One vote each.

Dave. Why Anne?

She's been excellent, but she pulled round there.

She got lots of questions wrong.

Anne. Why Eugenia?

She's had no votes, and she hasn't got a nice pink shirt

like me and Dave.

Eugenia. That's an interesting choice.

This programme's called The Weakest Link.

Did you feel Dave was the weakest link in that last round?

Not particularly, but I'm all for girl power.

I had men either side, and it's time to stick by a woman.

Well, it's in your power.

When a vote is tied, the strongest link has to cast a deciding vote.

Eugenia, you were the strongest link.

So it's really a question

of whether you feel you can hold your head up back in WALES...

if you vote off Dave,

or whether you're going to change your mind.

Yes. I think I may have got my logic a bit twisted.

I think I will change my mind.

-Right. So you want Anne to go?

-Yes, I think so.

OK. Anne. Eugenia, who comes from Liverpool but lives in Wales,

has decided she wants you to go.

I must say, having seen your score in the last round,

where you didn't answer correctly seven times,

that seems a wise decision.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

There was a point when I thought I might stay!

But as I'd said something nasty about Eugenia's shirt,

I knew I had to go for good.

I hope Eugenia wins, because she has the best all-round knowledge.

It would be good. Dave was weakest once. Eugenia's been constantly strong.

Round Eight.

£2,560 in the kitty.

Dave and Eugenia left. You have 90 seconds.

Whatever you win in this round is trebled

and added to your total for your final prize money.

£3000 is at stake. We start with the strongest link - Eugenia.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock. Eugenia.
