0:00:020:00:06

Only one will leave with a prize of up to ?10,000.

0:00:060:00:09

The others will leave with nothing when they're voted off as... the weakest link.

0:00:090:00:15

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine Americans in the studio here today

0:00:320:00:36

could win up to ?10,000.

0:00:360:00:39

They don't know each other.

0:00:390:00:41

However, if they want the prize money, they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:410:00:46

But eight of them will leave with nothing

0:00:460:00:49

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

0:00:490:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:56

0:01:160:01:20

0:01:240:01:27

0:01:270:01:32

0:01:320:01:36

0:02:040:02:08

Now the rules.

0:02:080:02:10

In each round, the aim is to give enough correct answers to reach your ?1,000 target

0:02:100:02:17

in the time limit. The fastest way is by a chain of nine right answers.

0:02:170:02:21

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

0:02:210:02:26

But if you say "bank" before the question, the money is safe.

0:02:260:02:31

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:310:02:34

At the end of the round, only money that has been banked can be carried forward.

0:02:340:02:40

You have three minutes in Round One. We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

0:02:400:02:48

0:05:550:05:57

Time is up.

0:05:570:05:59

You're not the brightest bunch of Americans, are you? You only banked ?370.

0:05:590:06:06

You could have won ?1,000.

0:06:060:06:08

Who perhaps is living in a permanent American dream?

0:06:080:06:12

One of you is about to leave with nothing. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:06:120:06:19

The strongest link is Pete, who answered the most questions correctly.

0:06:210:06:26

Jason is statistically the weakest link, but will the votes reflect these facts?

0:06:260:06:32

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

0:06:320:06:37

Pete, remind us what you do.

0:06:540:06:56

I'm an advisor for gas and electric.

0:06:560:06:59

Don't you think we know about that in the UK?

0:06:590:07:02

I think you must by now.

0:07:020:07:04

What do you advise? How people can get the best deal.

0:07:040:07:07

You know better than we do?

0:07:070:07:09

I hope I can advise.

0:07:090:07:10

You think Shonte needs some advice?

0:07:100:07:13

I think she answered a lot of questions incorrectly.

0:07:130:07:17

Do you think she was the weakest link? I do.

0:07:170:07:20

Do you have to count in your job? I do.

0:07:200:07:23

Jumoke, what do you do? Investment banking, corporate finance.

0:07:230:07:28

What does that involve? Giving people money who have a lot already.

0:07:280:07:33

Have you studied much history?

0:07:330:07:35

A little. Very little, Jumoke,

0:07:350:07:38

because you're the investment banker who thinks World War I started in 1939.

0:07:380:07:44

I think it was 1915 that World War I started.

0:07:450:07:48

You'd be wrong again.

0:07:480:07:50

It was 1914.

0:07:500:07:52

Why Shonte?

0:07:520:07:54

A lot of people had bad rounds, but I think she was slower.

0:07:540:07:57

Jason, how's it going for you? Pretty good. Pretty good I think.

0:07:570:08:02

You think?

0:08:020:08:03

Remind us what you do. I'm an Internet executive.

0:08:030:08:07

Are you big in the firm? Vice president.

0:08:070:08:10

Vice president? Correct.

0:08:100:08:12

Will your clients be watching? Probably not. It's all electronic transactions.

0:08:120:08:17

Just as well. Did you think Shonte was the weakest link?

0:08:170:08:21

I think so. I vote with my brain.

0:08:210:08:23

Do you? Well, God help the rest of us.

0:08:230:08:26

Statistically she wasn't the worst player. Who do you think was?

0:08:260:08:31

I think it was probably then Jumoke.

0:08:310:08:33

And if it wasn't him? Have another go.

0:08:330:08:36

If you're going to keep asking until I say "me", I'll say "me" now.

0:08:360:08:40

Your brain's working a bit better.

0:08:400:08:43

Jason statistically was the worst player,

0:08:430:08:47

but it's votes that count.

0:08:470:08:48

Shonte, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:08:480:08:52

I was hoping to get to the second round, but I didn't make it.

0:08:580:09:02

But somebody's got to be the first one and I guess it was me.

0:09:020:09:06

It should be Jason instead of me. He didn't answer a lot of questions

0:09:060:09:11

and he didn't bank enough.

0:09:110:09:12

Round Two. You could've won ?1,000 by now. You've only managed:

0:09:130:09:19

Maybe you've left your brains across the water.

0:09:190:09:22

Eight of you left. Ten seconds off the clock.

0:09:220:09:26

0:12:250:12:27

And in that round...

0:12:270:12:30

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:12:450:12:49

In this round Jumoke is statistically the strongest link.

0:12:490:12:54

Having answered all her questions incorrectly, Dawn is statistically the weakest link.

0:12:540:13:00

Can she survive the vote?

0:13:000:13:02

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

0:13:020:13:07

We have a tie, team.

0:13:220:13:24

Dawn and Debra: two votes each.

0:13:240:13:27

Jackie, what are your hobbies?

0:13:290:13:31

Er...reading, travelling,

0:13:310:13:33

going down the pub.

0:13:330:13:35

And when you go down the pub, what do you do?

0:13:350:13:39

Drink my pint. You don't know much about imperial measures, though, do you?

0:13:390:13:44

I'm not normally lucid enough to be able to tell the exact measurements. No.

0:13:440:13:50

Why Dawn?

0:13:500:13:52

She missed some pretty easy questions...

0:13:520:13:55

and she did get all of hers wrong.

0:13:550:13:57

Kurt, where are you from in the US? The state of Washington.

0:13:570:14:01

How do they dress there? Do they wear boleros on their head? I doubt it.

0:14:010:14:07

But that's what you think we wear here.

0:14:070:14:09

Why Debra?

0:14:090:14:11

I think it was, as a team, it was overall weak.

0:14:110:14:14

And it was just an arbitrary choice this time.

0:14:140:14:17

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

0:14:170:14:24

And for that we go to our great historian.

0:14:240:14:26

For some reason you were the strongest link in the last round.

0:14:260:14:31

You've voted for Dawn. Why?

0:14:310:14:33

I think a lot of people had tough rounds. I just think she had a tough round.

0:14:330:14:38

Is it Dawn or Debra? You can change your mind if you wish.

0:14:380:14:42

I won't change it. I'll stick with it.

0:14:420:14:45

Dawn, who's never heard of marzipan. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:14:450:14:50

I was incredibly disappointed to be voted off.

0:14:590:15:03

I feel it was a revenge situation. It came down to a tie.

0:15:030:15:06

Jumoke, the strongest link, voted for me because I had voted him as the weakest link in the first round.

0:15:060:15:13

The person I think that would most likely go next is Debra.

0:15:130:15:17

She's not as strong as she should be. The rest of the team will do better.

0:15:170:15:22

Round Three won ?520 out of a possible ?2,000.

0:15:240:15:27

You're down to seven players. We're taking another ten seconds off the time.

0:18:290:18:31

who's lost their last stand? Who should be shown the door? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:18:310:18:38

Statistically, Pete is the strongest link for the second time.

0:18:410:18:45

Scott is the weakest link.

0:18:450:18:47

Will the team notice that?

0:18:470:18:49

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

0:18:500:18:54

Scott.

0:18:550:18:58

Kurt.

0:18:580:18:59

Not long enough, obviously.

0:19:120:19:14

14 years. 14 lovely years.

0:19:140:19:16

Why Jason?

0:19:170:19:18

Well, Jason's had a tough time throughout.

0:19:180:19:22

Do you think he was the weakest link? In this case, yeah.

0:19:220:19:27

He wasn't, was he, Scott? Possibly. Maybe not. No.

0:19:270:19:31

I don't know. Is your indecision final?

0:19:320:19:35

Pretty final. I'll finalise that.

0:19:350:19:38

Why Jason? Bad couple of rounds. Name stuck in my head.

0:19:380:19:42

Statistically, Scott was the worst player,

0:19:420:19:46

but it's votes that count and Jason,

0:19:470:19:50

the vice president, got four. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:19:500:19:54

My team-mates aren't as smart as me

0:20:010:20:04

and they've voted me off.

0:20:040:20:06

I'm just a little frustrated.

0:20:060:20:08

I feel I was cheated out of my opportunity

0:20:080:20:11

to go the distance. Scott should be standing here,

0:20:110:20:15

because he stuttered with his answers to Anne and doesn't belong there.

0:20:150:20:20

Round Four. ?660 banked so far out of potential prize money of ?3,000.

0:20:200:20:27

You have just two-and-a-half minutes.

We start with the strongest link from the last round, Pete. Let's play.

0:23:170:23:21

Whose brain has gone on vacation?

0:23:210:23:24

Who's looking like a bit of a cowboy? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:23:240:23:28

Statistically, the weakest link is Jumoke,

0:23:310:23:34

who didn't get any questions right.

0:23:340:23:36

Pete is the strongest link for the third time in the game.

0:23:360:23:40

Will the team's votes reflect the reality?

0:23:400:23:43

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

0:23:430:23:47

Jackie, how long have you lived here?

0:23:590:24:02

Three years. And in that time has no-one told you how irritating we find it

0:24:020:24:07

that your country sent us the grey squirrel? They usually have bigger problems with America. Like what?

0:24:070:24:14

Politicians, our TV shows, our food...

0:24:140:24:18

Why Debra? I thought she had a particularly bad round

0:24:180:24:23

after having several bad rounds.

0:24:230:24:26

Kurt, why Debra? She has a disadvantage.

0:24:260:24:29

She's been in this country for 14 years.

0:24:290:24:32

She's married to an Englishman.

0:24:320:24:35

We expected her to do well with English questions.

0:24:350:24:38

You faltered on American questions.

0:24:380:24:41

Jumoke, the investment banker who's so cocksure of himself.

0:24:410:24:46

You didn't get a single question right.

0:24:460:24:49

You're so arrogant, it's almost as if you used to work in real estate.

0:24:490:24:54

I did. Yes, I thought you must have done.

0:24:540:24:56

Why have you voted for Debbie? We both had a tough round

0:24:560:25:00

and I think she's had more tough rounds, so I had to go for her.

0:25:000:25:05

Debra, it's votes that count. You are the weakest link.

0:25:050:25:08

Goodbye.

0:25:080:25:10

I shouldn't have been voted off. Jackie said I had bad rounds before.

0:25:190:25:24

I was no worse than anyone else. They see me as a threat.

0:25:240:25:27

I would really hate to see Scott win. It irritates me that he voted for me.

0:25:270:25:33

He hasn't voted right through the game. I'd like to see him go.

0:25:330:25:37

Round Five.

You banked ?250.

0:28:190:28:21

Whose mind is as empty as the Nevada desert? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:28:210:28:28

For the fourth time, Pete is the strongest link.

0:28:300:28:34

Jackie is statistically the weakest.

0:28:340:28:36

Scott banked the most money for the team in this round.

0:28:360:28:40

Will the others realise it?

0:28:400:28:42

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

0:28:430:28:47

Scott, why Jumoke? Erm,

0:28:570:29:00

he banked really late and cost us a lot of time.

0:29:000:29:03

We could've got another question in.

0:29:030:29:06

Kurt, how long have you been a marine? 24 wonderful years.

What rank are you? I'm a Lieutenant Colonel.

0:29:110:29:14

A Lieutenant Colonel in the marines.

0:29:140:29:18

Why Jumoke? That was a tactical decision.

0:29:180:29:20

Many questions are British-related,

0:29:200:29:24

so I'm sticking with those that have been in the country longer.

0:29:240:29:28

It's votes that count. Jumoke, who thinks World War I stared in 1939,

0:29:280:29:35

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:29:350:29:37

I'm reasonably pleased with my performance.

0:29:450:29:49

I didn't do anything crazy. I think Jackie will go out.

0:29:490:29:52

She was the weakest link and she can't wait to get to the pub.

0:29:520:29:57

The three characters up there will be fun to watch.

0:29:570:30:00

I'm going to have a good time laughing at them.

You banked ?150.

0:32:380:32:40

Whose engine has run out of gas? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:32:400:32:45

Scott is the strongest link. He answered all of his questions correctly and banked the most money.

0:32:470:32:54

In a reversal of fortune, Pete has gone from being the strongest link to the weakest link.

0:32:540:33:01

Will the team vote him off?

0:33:010:33:03

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

0:33:040:33:09

Jackie, why Pete?

0:33:170:33:18

He did miss quite a few questions and I thought his confidence was starting to falter.

0:33:180:33:25

Lieutenant Colonel Kurt, what's Pete done to upset you?

0:33:250:33:29

Pete has done nothing to upset me. I had a bad round.

0:33:290:33:32

It wouldn't surprise me if I went.

0:33:320:33:35

It wouldn't have surprised anybody. Pete has been the strongest performer throughout.

0:33:350:33:41

With three votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:33:410:33:45

I feel terrible. I ripped my heart out and left it on that stage. I was the strongest link

0:33:520:33:59

for every round but two and they voted me off.

0:33:590:34:02

They're going to suffer.

0:34:020:34:04

I hope Scott is the next out.

0:34:050:34:07

Round Seven. You've won so far...

0:34:080:34:11

out of a possible ?6,000.

0:34:110:34:14

With no help from the Lieutenant Colonel who's never heard of Pamela Anderson.

0:34:140:34:20

We start with the strongest link.

0:34:200:34:23

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

0:34:230:34:26

Start the clock.
