Countries with their own version The Weakest Link is a television game show which first appeared in the United Kingdom on BBC Two on 14 August 2000. The original British version of the show airs around the world on BBC Entertainment and BBC America. The format has been licensed across the world, with many countries producing their own series of The Weakest Link. Unless otherwise noted, all foreign titles translate to (The) Weakest Link. As with the original British version, all of the hosts wear black clothing (or sometimes dark colours with black). Most versions also have disciplinarian female hosts, again similar to the British original.

Format
The original format featured a team of nine contestants who take turns answering general knowledge questions. The object of each round is to answer a chain of consecutive correct answers to earn an increasing amount for a single communal pot within a certain time limit. However, just one incorrect answer wipes out any money earned in that chain. However, before their question is asked, a contestant can say "BANK" and the money earned thus far is safely stored and a new chain is initiated from scratch.
Banking money is the safe option, however, not banking, in anticipation that one will be able to correctly answer the upcoming question, allows the money to grow as each successive correct answer earns proportionally more money.
When the allotted time for each round ends, any money not banked is lost, and if the host is in the middle of asking a question, or has asked a question but the contestant has yet to answer, the question is abandoned (and on certain versions, gives the correct answer whether or not the contestant is able to answer the question correctly). The round automatically ends if the team successfully reaches the maximum amount for the round before the allotted time expires, and the next person says, "Bank".
Voting and elimination At the end of each round, contestants must vote one player out of the game. Until the beginning of the next round, only the television audience knows (via an announcer's narration) exactly who the "strongest link" and sometimes the "weakest link" are statistically, unless there is a tie, in which case the strongest link is revealed, and they must decide who goes. While the contestants work as a team, they are encouraged at this point to be ruthless to each other. Voting presents somewhat of a tactical challenge for canny players seeking to maximize their chances of winning, and maximizing the payoffs if they do. Voting off weaker players is likely to increase the payoff for the winner, but stronger players may be more difficult to beat in a playoff. After the revealing of the votes, the host will interrogate the players on their choice of voting, reasons behind their choice, and as well, insult the players on their lack of intelligence, their background, and their interests. After interrogation, the player with the most votes is given a stern "You are the weakest link. Goodbye!" and must walk off the stage in what is called the Walk of Shame. In the event of a tie, the Strongest Link has the final say on who goes. If they voted for a tied player, they may have the option of sticking with their vote, or changing their mind. If the Strongest Link is part of a two-way tie, for mocking purposes, the Strongest Link is still asked who they wish to rid.
End of the Game
Final Round When two contestants remain, they work together in one final round, identical to previous rounds in all but two details: first, all money banked at the end of the round is doubled or tripled, depending on which edition of the show, before being added to the current money pool to make the final total for the game. Also, there is no elimination; the game moves to the Head to Head round instead.
Head to Head For the Head to Head round, the remaining two players will each be required to answer five questions each in a football shootout format. The strongest link from the previous round chooses who goes first. Whoever has the most correct answers at the end of the Head to Head wins the game.
The winner of the game takes home all of the money accumulated in the prize pool for the game, and the loser goes home with nothing like all previous eliminated players.
In the event of a tie, the game goes to Sudden Death. Each player is continued to be asked questions as usual, until one person gets a question right and the other wrong. This can go on for as long as it takes, though in some countries, the Sudden Death is edited to only one round for airtime reasons.
In most episodes the maximum possible winnings in the British shows is £10,000; in special celebrity and charity episodes the maximum is £50,000.
Strategies Some players may consider incorrectly answering some questions so as not to appear so much of a threat — however, such a strategy is risky. One study[citation needed] suggested that the optimal percentage of questions to answer correctly is 60%. If you do worse, you risk being voted off for being too weak; if you do better, you are perceived as a threat in the final showdown. Mathematical analysis of the expected payoffs provided by various banking strategies suggest that the optimum strategies are to either attempt to go for the highest payoff, or bank after every question. Few teams adopt either — most choose to bank after three or four questions.

Australia - Further information: The Weakest Link (Australian game show)
In Australia, the game show aired on the Seven Network and was produced from February 2001 until its cancelation in April 2002. Presented by Cornelia Frances, it featured 9 contestants competing for the $100,000 grand prize. It aired twice weekly in a primetime slot. The show attracted a lot of criticism from viewers complaining that Cornelia was too rude. After Seven toned down the show, it continued to receive modest ratings until its cancellation in April 2002. It has been reported that the show may be brought back in 2008, to be fronted by former Big Brother presenter Gretel Killeen.[2] The Seven Network is an Australian television network, owned by the Seven Media Group. ...
Cornelia Frances (born 1941, Liverpool, UK as Cornelia Frances Zulver) is a British born actor based in Australia from the early 1970s. ...
Gretel Killeen (born 3 February 1961)[1], is an Australian television presenter, comedian, newspaper columnist, author and voice actor, who hosted the Australian version of Big Brother from its inception in 2001 until the end of the 2007 season when she was then sacked. ...
The show also featured several special versions. One included a show that linked with another reality TV show The Mole where the Mole contestants were part of the show. In this episode, Bob Young won the playoff over Thao Nguyen and became the winner of this episode, where the prize was a free pass to the next episode on The Mole (aka immunity) and all money won went to the kitty. According to Cornelia Frances, they won $14,100, the lowest amount won in any Australian episode of the Weakest Link. However, Grant Bowler, the host of the Mole rounded up to $15,000 since all kitties of the Mole have been rounded by $1,000. For the South Park character, see The Mole (South Park). ...
Grant Bowler (born [18 July] 1968 in Perth) is an Australian actor, best known for his many television roles. ...
Another special show was the "Worst Loser Special" where eliminated contestants from previous shows came back to play the game again. Also, there were two shows, one in mid-2001 and one in late-2001 where winners of previous shows played again for a chance to win more money. In the latter show, known as "The Best of the Best", a record $72,900 prize money was earned.
Germany - Further information: Der Schwächste fliegt!
Der Schwächste fliegt! is the German version of the game show. In German, The Weakest Link would translate to Das schwächste Glied, but this could also be read as The Weakest Virile Member (in a sexual sense). Consequently, this may be the reason why the show was called Der Schwächste fliegt!, meaning The Weakest Gets Booted (literally the weakest one flies). It was first broadcast on March 19, 2001, on RTL. The show premiered weekdays at 3pm and was hosted by Sonja Zietlow (who was already known for her tough-talking styles on her self-titled talk show from previous years). Just like the British version, the show pitted nine contestants against each other for a pot of DM 50,000. But by September of that year, the show was sinking fast in ratings, so in order to gain ratings, Sonja treated the contestants with more respect. Previously, Sonja bullied the contestants with insults such as "Da wollen wir doch mal sehen, wer unsere kostbare Studioluft lang genug weggeatmet hat!" (Let's take a look, who breathed our valuable studio air too long!). However the change in Sonja's behaviour did not sufficiently revive the show, and it was cancelled in December. However, in February 2002, the show was given another chance in the late-night Saturday slot, this time with a newly revamped studio, that now featured an audience, and a higher prize of € 50,000. But there have been rumours that after the first few episodes actors were paid to be contestants on the show, in order to attract more viewers. These changes were unsuccessful in boosting the show's ratings, and was cancelled for good in March. Der Schwächste fliegt! is the German version of the game show Weakest Link. ...

Hong Kong - Further information: Weakest Link (Hong Kong)
一筆OUT消 or "The Weakest Disappears" was the Hong Kong edition of The Weakest Link, presented by Hong Kong actress Carol Cheng in the Cantonese language. 一筆OUT消 was licensed and started quickly by TVB to air on TVB Jade, after rival ATV took the lion's share of ratings with the Cantonese language version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The top prize was HK$3,000,000. It premiered in August 2001. As per the licensing agreement, hostess Carol Cheng initially had to act just like Anne Robinson, complete with the same "cold" style of voice and facial expressions. Since Chinese culture typically does not value this kind of attitude toward people, TVB received many complaints about the show. Bowing to public pressure, the broadcaster changed the style of the show, softening Carol Cheng's "character," after five episodes of being "mean." As a result, the show became more acceptable to the viewers and the ratings went up, and beat Millionaire eventually. Since TVB ordered only 108 daily weekday shows, the series finale aired sometime in January 2002. 一ç†OUT消 (roughly translated to The Weakest Disappears) was the Hong Kong edition of the UK show The Weakest Link, presented by Hong Kong actress Carol Cheng in the Cantonese language. ...

The United Kingdom is the country where the show originated, and found a large audience. It was aired on BBC Two, but moved to BBC One on 11 February 2008 in the place of Australian soap opera Neighbours which moved to Five. It was devised by doctor and situation comedy writer Fintan Coyle and the comedian Cathy Dunning, and developed for television by the BBC Entertainment department. The UK version, hosted by Anne Robinson, voiced by Jon Briggs reached its 1,000th episode on 18 December 2006. With the huge success of the show in its early evening BBC Two slot, there was soon a version made for prime-time BBC One. For the BBC radio station, see BBC Radio 2. ...

United States - Further information: Weakest Link (US game show)
The American version of the game show aired on NBC from April 16, 2001 to July 14, 2002 (with several episodes left unaired until some appeared on PAX in 2002, with the remainder eventually airing on GSN). The show also aired in syndication from January 2002 through September 2003. Reruns of both versions aired on PAX for a short period of time, but can currently be found on GSN. Like the British version, Anne Robinson served as host for the NBC Weakest Link. George Gray, whose most notable hosting experience to that point had been on Extreme Gong, hosted the syndicated version as one of the only male hosts of The Weakest Link. The format was essentially the same as the European format. On the NBC version, the team size was eight, with the potential top prize being $1,000,000. In syndication, the top prize was $75,000, but in its second season that was raised to $100,000. Both syndicated seasons saw six players playing for the prize.

Part of the reason why the second season of Weakest Link failed was due to the clearance issues many stations had with the show. At the start of the 2002-2003 TV season, a syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire began airing on many of the same stations that Weakest Link had been airing on, in some cases in the same time slot that Link had previously occupied. The drop in ratings was enough to get Link cancelled. (Millionaire continues to air in syndication.) In the United States, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (also known simply as Millionaire) is a television game show which offers a maximum prize of $1,000,000 (originally lump sum; now annuitized) for correctly answering 15 successive multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty. ...
