Nightmare Contestants Weakest Link

Here are the nine contestants preparing for today's show.

Only one of them will win up to £10,000.

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

Welcome to the nightmare contestants edition of the Weakest Link.

The nine people in the studio today have given me the most trouble.

And I'm normally so tolerant.

Anyway, they can win up to £10,000.

If they want to win that prize money, they'll have to work together.

However, eight will leave with nothing

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Lillian, I'm 40, from Port Talbot,

I'm Welsh, unemployed and I sing,

which I guess makes me and Anne soul mates.

I'm Adam, I'm 28, I'm a staff nurse from Newcastle

and I'm here to make Anne feel better.

I'm Mrs Magnier, I'm 56 and I'm from Chesterton in Staffordshire.

I'm an English teacher and I'm here to teach Anne a thing or two.

I'm Nik, 48, from Bristol.

I'm a sales executive and I can sell something to you, Anne,

and I probably will.

I'm Betty, I'm 79, from Seaham in County Durham.

I spend a lot of time with my local church

and we can definitely pray for you, Anne.

I'm Dave, I'm 58, I'm in IT,

I grow rhubarb and me and Anne could talk for ages.

I'm Alex, I'm 21, from Crawley.

I'm a media studies student and I want to be a TV presenter,

so you'd better watch out, Anne.

I'm Mark, I'm 46, I'm a Scouse singing road-sweeper

and tonight, Anne, I'm going to clean up.

I'm Kiwi, this is Maurice, I'm 25 from North London

and I'm a clown, which is as much a proper job as hosting a quiz show.

Just to remind you, in each round there's £1,000 to be won.

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

Break the chain and you lose all the money in that chain.

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

And who's just come back to torment me?

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

As the only player to get an answer wrong, Nik is the weakest link.

Statistically, Alex is the strongest link.

But will the votes pick up on the facts?

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

Nik.

Nik.

Nik.

Mark.

Nik.

Nik.

Nik.

Nik.

Nik.

-Mark.

-Hello, Anne.

-You're still road-sweeping?

-Still road-sweeping, yeah.

-You won last time. Was that a good experience?

-An excellent experience.

-What did you do with the money?

-The wife's got it.

-Put your board down.

-Cos you can sing, can't you?

-Certainly can.

As you go sweeping in Liverpool.

-Well, you can choose what you sing as you brush.

-Yes.

-Go on, then.

# You talk like an angel

# Walk like an angel

# Look like an angel

But I got wise, Anne. # You're the devil in disguise #

Put your board up.

-Why Nik?

-I think it was the WAGs question.

Goalkeepers, not girlfriends.

-Betty, remind me where you're from.

-Seaham in County Durham.

Are you being your usual, interfering, busy-bodying person?

-No.

-No.

-I've been made a chairman of our local drop-in group

for elderly people who live on their own and have no other company.

And when they know you're coming, is the hall empty?

No, if I'm not there, there's trouble. "What's the matter with Bet?"

-Why Nik?

-He was the first one to get a question wrong.

It's not because he's devastatingly attractive?

-I can't see that far to find out.

-Well, you're very lucky.

-So Lillian, you've obviously never been out of the gym since you were last here.

-Oh, yeah.

-And you're still Welsh, unfortunately.

-Yes.

-And you still think you can sing?

-I know I can sing.

-Put your board down. Go on, then.

# I believe in a thing called love

# Just listen to the rhythm of my heart

# There's a chance we could make it now

# We'll be rocking till the sun goes down

# I believe in a thing called love

# Oooh-ooh #

Put your board up. Why Nik?

Unfortunately, it was the goalkeepers.

If it was goalfriends, you could've got away with it. Sorry, Nik.

So Nik the sales executive, you're still not getting out much, are you?

-I wish I could've spent more time with you today, Anne.

-Yes.

And why did you think WAGs stood for Wives And Goalkeepers?

Because I read broadsheets, Anne, and not the tabloids that you referred to when you did the question.

-So it was our fault.

-No, I didn't say specifically. I said your fault.

-I remember why you were annoying.

Nik, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Very, very, very proud. Very proud to have even been on the show in the first place.

But to be re-invited back and to be one of Anne's nightmares,

I think that makes me a legend, doesn't it?

Aww. Put your board up. Why Kiwi?

-She was the weakest link on that round.

-And the most annoying person.

Dave, if you've got any more exciting, it might to be too much for me.

-I'm a really exciting person, Anne, you know that after last time.

-Yes.

-So you're still in IT, sadly.

-I love IT, Anne. It's my life.

-Yes. And the rhubarb.

-Well, rhubarb obviously is my first love.

-And the poetry.

-Oh, yes, Anne. I'm still into poetry.

-Yes. Put your board down. I bet you've brought a poem with you.

-I have, Anne.

-Yes. OK.

Anne, is it true you're leaving? Anne, is it true you're off?

Well, I'm not here to joke about it, I'm not here to scoff.

You are an institution, you're a little midget gem.

There may be other quiz show hosts, but I'm not into them.

There's no-one like the Queen of Mean, like Yoda dressed in black

Only one so venomous no-one dare answer back.

You're like a cougar and a munchkin all rolled into one.

Nipped and tucked and botoxed, like a taser gun.

So, no more chocolate teapots, no ashtrays on a bike,

no insulting Welsh or IT geeks I bet you really like,

the fat, the thin, the young, the old, the ones who tried to sing,

the clever and the stupid that pass on everything.

Well, up in TV heaven, Anne, a tomb, a vault awaits.

St Peter will be waiting when you're at the pearly gates.

Statistically speaking, and without using a spreadsheet,

Alex, you've lasted longer than last time.

Yep, I sure did! It's because you guys wanted to have a better view of me for longer.

You've got to admit, I look great.

And you've never heard of crazy paving?

Well, I've heard of it, but it just didn't come to mind.

-Yes.

-I'm a girly-girl. I don't do paving.

-No.

I was shocked that she didn't know about Disney.

-So, Mrs Magnier.

-Hello again, Anne.

-Why Mark?

-I think he got two questions wrong.

OK, when the vote's tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

The strongest link was Lillian. Fat Lillian, why have you voted for Betty?

Well, skinny Anne, I voted for Betty because I thought it would be between her and Alex

and Alex was banking money, but Betty unfortunately didn't.

-You've got a choice now. You can stick with Betty or move to Mark.

-I'm going to stick with Betty.

Betty, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It's a real pleasure to be invited back. Cos I never expected it.

It was out of the blue and I thought,

"Have I done something wrong? Are they going to do the programme over again?"

Alex.

-Mark, why Alex?

-I think she's banking too early.

-Mrs Magnier, why Alex?

-It was the panic to bank. That's what did it.

Alex, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was voted off completely unfairly,

cos I was the strongest link for a couple of rounds as far as I remember

and possibly that one, as well.

Plus, unlike the others, I was doing all the banking.

At least I was giving it an effort to make some sort of money. They weren't. So it was unfair.

Dave.

Adam.

Adam.

Another tie, team. Adam and Mark.

Two votes each.

-Dynamic Dave.

-Yes, Anne.

-Why Adam?

It's very difficult, but with the data at my disposal

and taking in all the permutations, I thought Adam was the weakest link.

Adam, why Mark?

Apart from Lillian, I think everyone's starting to get a bit more poor.

-More poor?

-With the questions.

And I just remember Mark getting one wrong.

Well, big Lillian gets to decide, she was the strongest link. Why Mark?

Well, tiny Anne, if Mark had banked that before his last question

there would've been a different name.

-Are you sticking with Mark or moving to Adam?

-I'm sticking with Mark.

Mark, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

To only get to Round Five, I wasn't expecting to come here and win it again,

but, you know, Round Five is better than being voted out in the first round.

So I've done myself proud, I think.

And to be invited back, brilliant.
