English - Media Coursework – The Weakest Link

The Weakest Link is a quiz show that is broadcast in the early evenings and is hosted by Anne Robinson. The aim of the Weakest Link is to work for players to work together to bank the most money.  To be the strongest link by answering the questions correctly after each round, each contestant votes out the weakest link, so they are then eliminated out of the game.  The winner is the one that gets through all the rounds; and then answers the most questions correctly in the last round.  The prize is all the money they have banked in previous rounds.
