You are the weakest link....fuck off!

I want to take this opportunity to apologise for my country giving this god awful show to the US. I also want to apologise for giving you Anne Robinson.

*does a little jig because the bitch woman from hell has left the country*



If you don't know what I am talking about...you will.

Sorry again.

And I wish to apologize for 10,000 of our stupid, idiotic shows. Anyway...

Here's a review from today's New York Post: (I didn't see the show)

April 16, 2001 -- WHO'S the weakest link on "Weakest Link"?
Anne Robinson, that's who.

The British-accented host whom NBC has made the focus of all its advertising and promotion for its new quiz show, "Weakest Link," is a disaster -"real horror show," as Alex and his droogs were fond of saying in "A Clockwork Orange," another British import with the power to make you feel bad.

And that's the effect of watching the unsmiling Ms. Robinson, whose utterly contrived, one-note act consists of cruelly berating the contestants between rounds for missing the answers to the questions she has just fired at them. Then, in a clipped, high-pitched voice, she informs the one who has been voted off by the rest: "You're the weakest link! Good-bye!"

Watching a preview tape over the weekend was one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had while sitting in front of the TV set. And yet, the quiz kids who run NBC are convinced that Americans just can't wait to embrace the nasty Ms. Robinson and her catchphrase. Their blind faith makes me wonder: Do they even live in America?

Around here, we quiz-show viewers embrace the likes of Regis Philbin, Alex Trebek, Pat Sajak and Bob Barker. Likable, gentlemanly presences all, their shows are not about them - they're about the game.

Moreover, when people lose on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" or "Jeopardy," we depend on Regis and Alex to let them down gently, not tell them how stupid they are.

"Weakest Link," however, is being promoted with the emphasis on the mean Ms. Robinson. And that's too bad, because without her, NBC would have a suspenseful quiz show with the potential to succeed on its own merits.

"Weakest Link" cleverly combines elements of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and "Jeopardy," with a little "Survivor" thrown in (but not enough for CBS to consider suing).

In its use of dramatic lighting and music, the show resembles "Millionaire," but the number of questions hurled at the contestants in each of its lightning-fast, two-minute rounds is more like "Jeopardy," although the questions, varying randomly from easy to difficult, are not quite as challenging.

And then there's the voting, which like "Survivor," is aimed at picking off contestants one by one after each round. A contestant who is voted off is deemed the "weakest link" because of his or her inability to aid the others in building up a common pot of money, which will be won ultimately by just one of them.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Well, it would be, if it wasn't for Ms. Robinson, whose meanness is a contagion that infects the contestants.

Each of them seems to have been coached by the producers to forget anything they may have learned in childhood about good sportsmanship. Instead, they've apparently been instructed to behave like childish sore losers on their way offstage after being voted off.

The rude Ms. Robinson made a huge splash in the United Kingdom on the original version of "Weakest Link."

I sincerely hope she falls flat on her face here because the last thing American television needs right now is more rudeness and meanness.

So, please join me in saying to this English anti-Regis: "Good-bye!"

It was pretty stupid, people would bank on the first question, which makes no sense. The contestants were boring and the host was kind of funny, but her shtick gets a bit old after a few minutes. I seriously don't see how anyone could ever get close to a million dollars on the show.

Does anyone know anyone that could perhaps arrange for Robinson to be assasinated please? You guys have guns and we don;t. Go on, please, pretty please with sugar on it. We don't want her back.

I was in London over easter and saw an episode of TWL by accident. It took me about half the show to figure that the bitch thing was just a part of the show. Original maybe but not funny. There are enough frigid, adrenaline pumped, PMS bithes with menopause problems in the world without making one up and making a host of a pretty ordinary game show. Baah!

I hope the Brits don't export the cunt to us as well.

As for Survivor, I really liked it the first couple of seasons. (In Sweden the show is called 'Expedition Robinson', did we invent it?). We finished season 4 this autumn, and it's not original anymore. Just a bunch of nasty 'ordinary' people who lie and scheme behind each others backs, just getting thinner and thinner, and the guys getting longer beards.

Question: Why don't the women get hairy legs and armpits? You're only allowed to take one personal item, and so far nobody has taken a razor!

In Australia we have had that show for about 1 month or so. We have this stupid bitch woman, much the same as yours if ET is anything to go by. Red head, bitch, annoying etc. It wears thin after about 2 minutes.

In the grand Australian tradition of being shit, our grand-prize is $100K not 1 million.

Then I fell over.

I dunno what the grand prize is on ours. I remeber seeing the show last year when it was being pilot'd in the late afatrenoon on the non prime time channel. I thought it was shit then, and then all of sudden people are talking about and it went prime time. I fucking hate the woman that presents it. She does a show over here called Watchdog which is a consumer magazine show like Which, she is a bitch on that too.

i think they can get £1000 for each round and i think there are 9 rounds, but in the last round the money is doubled. or something. £10,000, whoopidoo! isn't it on like twice a day over here? anyway, it sucks, and anne robinson makes me cringe. *shudder*

I saw this show last night at my boyfriend's house. The only thing I have to say is the host lady looks like mr. spock, and all the "links" on that show are bitchier than blondes on pms..what really got to me was when this one guy said this girl was the weakest link because "females are the weaker sex". Stupid fuck, I bet you anything that girl met him in a dark alley and beat his ass after the show.
