The weakest link in a game how that came on the TV shortly after who wants to be a millionaire. I personally find it boring, very repetitive and tedious, erm…just like who wants to be a millionaire actually. There are 10 contestants and 10 rounds with a possible £10000 up for stake. People are asked questions in order, ... Read the complete review

The weakest link started out as a great program. Now with all the hype about Anne Robinsons rudeness nobody watches it for the actual program any more, they just watch to see Anne slag everyone off. In case you've been missing for a while what happens is after each round of questions all of the players vote for who they ... Read the complete review

The Weakest Link is fast becoming the most popular quiz on television. Anne Robinson may not be everyone’s cup of tea but she does an admirable job at “Throwing out the Thickos”. The format is fairly simple, eight players all vying to be the strongest link and to walk away with the prize money. Unfortunately ... Read the complete review

Despite what everyone is saying about this quizshow and Anne Robinson, I think it is really good!! Just incase you havn't seen it, it's a quizshow, starting with 9 contestants taking it in turns to answer questions and try to bank £1000. Each round one member of the team is voted out as the weakest link by the other ... Read the complete review

I think that the recent news that the American contestants needed therapy sums up that entire show. To have to sit and watch Anne Robinson give perfectly able and innocent people very personal and hurtfull insults is not my idea of a good time. If it was just based on the contestant's performance it might not be so ... Read the complete review

The recent announcement of Eamon Dunphy as the presenter of the Irish spin-off of The Weakest Link leaves me baffled. While I admire Dunphy's candid expression of his views both on RTÉ's The Premiership and on Today FM's The Last Word, I feel strongly that the format is not one to which he is suited. Firstly, I ...

The big question as regards this show is Anne Robinson human at all - she shows no remorse for any of the contestants and is so ignorant towards them. The whole concept of the show is super. The basic idea is that a group of 10 people - work as a team to answer general knowledge questions – each question answered earns the ... Read the complete review

Anne Robinson's merciless sarcasm is why i watch this show. I find this terribly amusing especially when she has a go at the contestants. It shows that seemingly quite nice, ordinary, people are actually back-stabbing money seeking individual. Well i know that sounded a bit harsh but its true. There are about nine ...

This program demonstrates everything about the value of the BBC that the commercial channels (with the exception of Channel 4) would die for. It becomes really interesting if you put this in the context of what has been happening in the last two years; namely Who wants to be a millionaire? Here was a fairly complex format, with ...

I actually like this game show, my daughter says I'm sad for watching it, as she thinks it totally crap. She called me the weakest link. I find it very conpulsive viewing, if you haven't seen this game show. The host is Anne Robinson, a bunch of contestants take part, and Anne asks them questions of various difficulty. If ...

“The Weakest Link” has now taken America by storm after managing to do the same thing in the UK. What is it? The rules are fairly simple. There are 9 contestants who answer questions in turn. The money increases with each correct answer. The order is £20, £50, £100, £200, £300, £450, £600, £800 and ... Read the complete review

I rarely get to watch early evening TV, due to work, study and family commitments. However, on the day my partner was diagnosed with the Big 'C', conversation was not top on our agenda, just a stunned silence. We got home, and he calmly sat down, and started to watch, yes, 'The Weakest Link', the man (he will ... Read the complete review

Anne Robinson must be the most annoying presenter ever. She has the charisma of a tranquilised snail and is not exactly 'easy on the eye'.

Ok so it seems that not everyone has cottoned on to just what Anne Robinson is up to with this programme. I was of the opinion that everyone knew that the people who appear on the show enjoy being berrated by a dominatrix! Surely people don't really take Anne's comments seriously, she's just having fun. However, there is a ... Read the complete review

It is on this Easter Monday, we give thanks to another British export invading the USA which hopes to make another cultural dent that had begun as well-defined by The Beatles to dredge like ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ and that Anne Robinson as much as we love her and loathe her, we wish you luck Anne.that you kick some ...

I am not sure who thought Anne Robinson would be good on a quiz show, rather than a consumer affair programme, but someone did! And they should now face the sack, but instead have probably got a pay rise.

Well there is a gameshow worth watching. It might get you mad about how mean Anne Robinson can be to contestants but I cannot deny how well she fits the "character". Basically the program consists of 10 complete strangers that need to work together towards a common target: bank money for the team. They answer questions in a ... Read the complete review

The Weakest Link was originally put in place by the BBC to provide a serious contender to Channel 4's Fifteen to One and Countdown afternoon game show domination. It has since escalated into a phenomenon far more popular than the BBC could have ever expected, and has even spawned a range of (tasteless) merchandise - check out the ... Read the complete review

I don't really like this gameshow. I find it pretty boring and I could watch better. It is on BBC2 and hosted by Anne Robinson. There are 9 contestants and they have to answer questions. The object is to earn money. There is a set amount of money and a contestant can bank the money whenever they want. This makes it safe. ... Read the complete review

The Weakest Link has hit America, and what it has done is incredible. America has taking to Anne as if she was a celebrity, infact she is now after her over night performance on NBC. MBC are stuggling against their counterparts but brought Anne and her show over the atlantic to try and boost their ratings. They have succeeded. Over 17 ... Read the complete review
