About the show

Nine contestants come to the studio as strangers, but must work together to answer as many questions as they can against the clock and bank as much money as possible. At the end of the round, each contestant votes for the fellow contestant they consider to be the weakest link in the chain. Eight of them will leave with nothing, as round by round, they eliminate the person they think is the weakest link. Acid-tongued hostess Anne Robinson always has the last word and is in total control of the drama. If the contestants answer back or try to upstage the host, she will put them firmly in their place!
