Common mistakes - You ignoramus!
Contrary to popular belief. Weakest Link is not from the US as other Pinoys would think. Check out the real lowdown of Weakest Link in the UK. Read and be enlightened.

Finton Coyle and Cathy Dunning were out to make a quiz show in the hopes of getting audiences. It was firstly called "University Challenge," and later "The Money Chain." They later hired "Watchdog" host, Anne Robinson. They thought she looked as if she knew the answers and could handle the players being removed from the game.

But as the quiz show progressed, Anne became more firm, and the players shelling out more attitude than ever. She maintained to smile and soothe down the players when needed. And because of one mistake and attitude of a certain player. She stood up, frowned, and shouted out: "YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK, GOODBYE!" This became the solid catchphrase and the beginning of a game show with an attitude.

Then in August 2000. The quiz show "The Weakest Link," quietly appeared on BBC2 in the UK. Anne's smile was replaced with a firm face anyone would love to hate. Her hostile treatment to the players were very intriguing enough, and her steady barrage of insults got the attention of viewers around the UK.

The original Weakest Link has nine players and £10,000 at stake. It was taped in BBC studios in London. The premise is just simple enough. Answer questions and your money pot adds up. A simple mistake and bring you back to zero. But here's the thing: in every round, one player is eliminated. Adding insult to injury, the person who was voted out gets back to the post-vote interview. Ranting to what happened. As for the money, only one person can win the money prize, as the others who were eliminated would leave with: "Nothing!"
