0:08:26 > 0:08:31Statistically she wasn't the worst player. Who do you think was?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I think it was probably then Jumoke.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36And if it wasn't him? Have another go.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40If you're going to keep asking until I say "me", I'll say "me" now.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Your brain's working a bit better.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Jason statistically was the worst player,
0:08:47 > 0:08:48but it's votes that count.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Shonte, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06But somebody's got to be the first one and I guess it was me.
