Here's my syndicated version of the "Weakest Link"

Length:  30 min.
Host:  Jim Caldwell.  His personality fits "The Weakest Link" to a T.  He means to host a game show well, but he is kind of a dud.  I think he will have just as icy of a demeanor as Anne does, and just imagine, listening to him misread a team's banked total is going to be funnier than Eddie Murphy in "The Nutty Professor."  For those of you who don't know, Jim Caldwell replaced Wink Martindale on "Tic Tac Dough."  Then, he went on to host "Top Card," a blackjack oriented game on TNN.  He hosted that show before it switched to all country music questions.  However, why I think he could handle hosting "The Weakest Link" is because he bobbled a lot on the questions on TTD.  I also was not kidding when I said he might misread a team's banked total on TWL.  I'll show you what I mean;.  "Round 2, team, so far you've banked $500, (Excuse me, Jim, that's $1,000).  He is currently the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but I would like him to get out of football, and into "The Weakest Link."
Announcer:  Lisa Friedman (Sorry, but I can't think of someone else who can announce.)
Format:  Six contestants compete in a quiz show in which the host moves clockwise around the contestants.  The object is to answer enough questions correctly to reach their $12,500 target limit.  The fastest way to reach that target is to create a chain of 6 correct answers.  Get their question wrong, and they break the chain and lose all the money in that chain, but, if they think the next person up is a little too overconfident, they can say the word "Bank."  However, they start a brand new chain.  The money the team banks is added in each subsequent round except the final round aganst the clock.  The first round lasts for 1:45 and 15 seconds come off the clock after each round.  At the end of each round, one person is voted off as "The Weakest Link," the person who has done the most poorly in the game, and is treated to the strict words of Jim Caldwell as in "You ARE the weakest link, goodbye!"  Each round is played exactly the same, except the final round against the clock.  In the final round against the clock, there are only 2 players left and 45 seconds on the clock.  Whatever they bank in that round is quadrupled and added to make up their grand prize money.  In the final round of the game, alternating questions are asked, best of five.  Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins and is declared "The Strongest Link."
Chain:  Exactly the same as Tim Connolly's Weakest Link Game Control.  12500 + 12500 + 12500 + 12500 + 50000 = $100,000 total.
Possible Zingers:  (For a Valentine's Day special,) "Whose arrow from Cupid has hit the lights."  "Who's the fuzz particle in this peach tree."

Error alert!  Now, so contestants can still earn the standard top prize of $100,000, the prize money banked in round five will be quadrupled.  That way, none of the main rounds in the game will be dropped.
