The Weakest Link/Catchphrases

Opening Spiels
John/Lisa: "Here are the 8/6 contestants/celebrities who will take part in today/tonight's show. One of them will walk away with up to $1,000,000/$75,000/$100,000 (for their charity). The rest will leave (with nothing), as round by round, they're voted off as The Weakest Link!

Anne/George: "Welcome...to (a special celebrity edition of) "The Weakest Link"! Any of the 8/6 people in the studio here tonight/today could win up to $1,000,000/$75,000/$100,000 (for the charity of their choice). They don't know each other; however, if they want to win that money, they'll have to work as a team, but 7/5 of them will leave with nothing/however, only one of them will make it to the end, as round by round we eliminate the player voted The Weakest Link! Let's meet the team!"

Catchphrases
"(insert contestant's name)" - 8/6 Contestants

"Now the rules, in each round the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your $125,000/$12,500/$25,000 target within the time limit. There are 8/6 of you, so the fastest way to reach that target is to create a chain of 8/6 correct answers. Get your question wrong, and you break the chain and lose all the money in the chain, but if you say the word "Bank" before the question is asked, the money is safe; however, you'll start a brand new chain. Remember, at the end of the round only money that has been banked can be carried over to the next round. The first round lasts for 2:30 (2½ minutes)/1:45. The order you'll be playing in was randomly selected before the show. We'll start with the player in the first position...that's (you) (insert name). Let's play...The Weakest Link! (The first question is worth $1,000/$250.) Start the clock."

"Time's up. (I cannot complete the question/The correct answer is...)"

"That is the correct answer, but you were out of time."

"That bank was too late/out of time."

"You reached and banked your $125,000/$12,500/$25,000 target (within the time limit). That money will go through to the next round, but one of you (most certainly) will not/won't!"

"And in that round you've banked (insert cash amount). That money will go through to the next round, but one of you (most certainly) will not/won't!"

"Why (insert contestant's name)?"

"Seven have made it this far but only one of them will win, find out who...when we return to...The Weakest Link!" - Anne Robinson

"Six players remain but any one of them will be voted off next, find out who...when we return to...The Weakest Link!" - Anne Robinson

"Welcome back...to The Weakest Link!" - Anne Robinson

"One of these five players has reached their end. Find out who...when we return to...The Weakest Link!"

"Only two of these three people will move on to the final round. One more player will take that walk of shame...when we return to...The Weakest Link!"

"It's time to vote off...The Weakest Link!"

"Voting over, time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link."

"When the vote is tied...the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote... and in that last round, the strongest link was (insert name)."

"Statistically, the strongest/weakest link in the last round was (insert name), but it's votes that count."

"(insert name)/With (insert number) votes...You ARE the weakest link. Goodbye!"

"Round 2/3/4/5/6 (team), and so far you've banked (insert amount), there's/there are 7/6/5/4/3 of you left. (Another) 10/15 seconds (is) coming off the/your clock/time. We'll start with the strongest link from the last round. That's (you) (insert name)./You've voted off the strongest link from the last round, so we'll have to start with the 2nd strongest link from the last round. That's (you) (insert name)."

"Now in Round 7/5, you have the chance to double what you bank. Potentially, there's $250,000/$25,000 to be won. The question is, who is least likely to help you in raising the bank balance?"

"Round 7/5 (team), and so far you've banked (insert amount). (insert 2 names), it's just the 2 of you left and this time you'll have only 90/45 seconds, but whatever you bank in this round will be doubled and will added to your total to make up your grand prize money. $250,000/$25,000 is at stake right now."

"We'll double it and add it to the bank from the previous rounds which means you have today/tonight a grand total of (insert amount)."

"But only 1 of these 2 people will take that money home; the other will leave with nothing. The final round will decide it all when we return to The Weakest Link."

"(insert 2 names), you made it into the final round where (insert amount) is up for grabs, but only 1 of you will be able to take that money home. You'll now be playing against each other head-to-head. I'll ask alternating questions, best of 5/3. Whoever gets the most questions correctly wins; it's as simple as that. If there's a tie after 5/3 questions, we'll go for Sudden Death until we have a winner. So (insert 2 names), for (insert amount), let's play The Weakest Link!"

"(insert name), as the strongest link in the last round, you have the choice on who'll go first."

"I will/I'll let (insert name) go first." - Contestant

"That is the correct answer."

"No, the correct answer is (insert correct answer)."

"(insert name), you need to answer this question correctly to remain in the game." - Anne Robinson

"(insert name), if you answer this question correctly, you have won." - Anne Robinson

"(insert name), you need to get this correct; otherwise, (insert name) wins. - George Gray

"(insert name), if you get this right, you've won." - George Gray

"After 5/3 questions, your scores are tied. So now we go into a Sudden Death situation. I'll continue asking questions./Questions will continue in pairs. (1st player), if you get your question right then (2nd player) has to get their question right, or they lose. And (2nd player), if (1st player) gets their question wrong, and you get your question right, you win."

"So (insert 2 names), Let's play Sudden Death!"

"That means (insert name) you are tonight's/today's strongest link and you go away with (insert cash amount). (Insert name), you leave with nothing/you will just go away."
