BBC2 - The Weakest Link

The Weakest Link is a quiz show that i have been watching for a while now yet i`m still baffled why the title of the show does not reflect the way the players play the game.The objective of the game is to answer as many questions correctly whilst earning money in the process. This is done by a team of 9 contestants who individually have to answer their allocated questions but at the same time have to look out for the team`s interest. By looking out for the team`s interest the contestants have to monitor how each individual is performing when tackling the questions and banking the money. At the ... more

By admitting this, I feel like one of those people who haven’t got round to buying themselves a mobile: My name is Pennii and I still have analogue cable. But there’s no need to worry, I’m currently looking into On digital and a mate of mates cousin who can chip a card. (only joking, as if I would involve myself in anything illegal. Honestly!!)

~ ~ Oh, the ‘mad cabbie’ really does like this game show. I know that in terms of being innovative, or in breaking any new ground, or even in the amount of prize money that can be won it is vastly overshadowed by the extremely popular “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” I also know that its host, the inimitable Anne Robinson, is not everybody’s cup of tea, and in point of fact upsets some people enormously. ~ ~ But not this fella. It’s confession time here from the ‘mad cabbie’! I’ve always had a “thing” for authoritative women ... more

The Weakest Link Made by the BBC The Weakest Link is broadcast on BBC2, weeknights at 5.30pm. The show starts with 9 contestants. The aim of the game is to answer questions to earn money. This is initially done in team form. At the end of each round the statement is said, “It’s time to vote off…The Weakest Link!” At this point the contestants each write down the name of the person they want voting off. The person with the most votes gets the ultimate send off “**** you are The Weakest Link…Goodbye!” (And how many times have you seen that on a T-shirt ... more

I would just like to write a review on the Weakest Link, which is now actually shown on BBC1 and not BBC2 as it says here between 5.15 and 6 pm or thereabouts. It is hosted by Anne Robinson, and the format of it is going to be described here. There are about nine contestants who start off at the beginning of the show, and they all introduce themselves; their age (sometimes); what they do, and where they come from. The rules of the game are then described – the person whose name is first alphabetically starts the game off by answering the first question. All of the questions are general ... more
