Weakest Link - 29th January 2001 

It was a miracle that Maria made it far at all, let alone the final.

I love the Weakest Link, but now I'm super curious about that "Instant Restaurant" show in the beginning, lol.

This is the weakest of the weakest players in a game!

If you see in the waiting room before the game, Alex and Maria are chatting definitely they had a plan to vote together to get the others out

Paul's downfall wasn't fair. Maria got lucky. She was overall the weakest link.

Maria & Alex made a pact to vote the rest off & get to the head-2-head, this is also why the Prize Money was so low:- £1290 I think they just wanted to get to the final together even if it meant losing out on a lot of money

Poor Emmanuel! His face in the heat of that unanimous vote, being the last to turn his card over and having dropped every single question on the round... oh my word...priceless! Sorry Emmanuel. 🤣😂 (19:53)

I would've been soo upset if Maria won not that that really was a option 😅

The fact that Maria got as far as she did was pure bullshit!

The way she asked Melanie the question at 13:28 confused the player She asked "which FLY transmits" which is why she said tsetse. She should have said insect. And Paul's answer was also technically correct when he said aorta, cause it is a thick walled vessel that transport blood from the heart. The aorta is the biggest artery in the body.

Smug Maria...bye bye

How on earth Maria make it in the final round as she did play well most of the game.

This is the first episode I feel confident that I would have made it to the end lol

Mac 63 Retired Maria 36 Shopkeeper Alex 37 Painter Melanie 26 Primary School Teacher Paul 43 Senior Advisor Tom 33 Nurse Sharon 43 Advisor Emmanuel 23 Student Susan 55 Coordinator

what flavor is devils food cake? "spicy"

Melanie was the smartest player.

First time in watching a show like this I wanted them both to lose pair of punts !

Glad the Strongest Link won! Well deserved. Was not a fan of Maria 😬

I think Alex voted for Mel cause he knew he had a better chance at winning against Maria in the final lol.

Did Alex ever vote Maria? Maria should not have been a hard one to miss.

The hardest question Anne asked was "Who is too stupid to stay?"

I think it be nice to see Anne do a special episode of the 2020 US revival with Jane Lynch like a celebrity edition

Melanie deserved to win the game, idk who her opponent would be in the final but definitely not maria

“what p...?” simmer

Omg this is such a delight after the weakest link usa💫

Aries is the ram Emmanuel!

£1290?? You could only probably afford a second hand Ford Fiesta with that amount!

Awful team, but really hard batch of questions in this episode

I now imagine the maximum prize pot at 20,000 pounds with this 9 player format.

Most rubbish team in Weakest Link history. Now we know a very weak team can still bank at least £1000 in prize money. Alex deserved to win.

Temporary paralysis of the brain? Damn Alex....

Anne looks so much younger it's scary

I’ll say this I watched the 2021 episode of the Weakest Link, but yet it’s not as satisfying as my girl Anne!!!!

Maria was the weakest link, talking about how poorly Sharon did. Welp, votes make the decision. Too bad ppl don't vote according to what really happened.

I'd say it was unfair in the round 2 voting. Paul or Emmanuel it should have been. Both three questions wrong. Even though Paul was the Weakest Link in that round, I think Emmanuel should have been voted off more so because I thought his questions were easier. I knew two of Paul's three questions and all three of Emmanuel's questions but anything can happen on a game show. Just wanted to say this.

Good Job, Alex. CONGRATULATIONS! You have £1290 😍❤️

I was 21 days old when this aired

I don't think Emmanuel got a single question right the whole game.

Nervousness kicks in as well.

I wouldn't be able to answer any questions about sport as I don't like any sport.

Alex was always going to be stronger over Maria so she got what she rightfully deserved in the end

Old but gold

Ann has been saying the answers

I'm surprised they repeat questions... That cardiologist question was on two or three different episodes

13:37 how unfair.... aorta is correct, if not more correct!

Melanie looks like a frozen screen every question

oh dear

Emmanuel is obviously not a brain surgeon

Both HR advisors said "Haitch". There's no first H in aitch.

at least sharon and emmanuel dont run the clock

Geez, alot of players on this show aren't even that knowledgeable at all.

I hear Emmanuel works for the Gap...

Think they can vote off the strongest link? That’s just rude!

14:19 answer: 2020

alex and maria were a tag team

Is that BBC2 in 2010?

16:50 - Polar bears are recognised as the largest species of bear, not Kodiak?

I love Sharon's leather pants.

Right

The Polar bear is the largest. NOT the kodiac.

Wels...welsh 6:28

Was that price money really a large sum back then!????

this doesn’t look like it was recorded in 2001 with that F1 advert- seb wasn’t in F1 at that point lol

Melanie is so pretty

Booooooo......they voted off the best at the end........and she was hot as well

Who else is shocked by the woeful level of general knowledge on show here? Do these people really believe they are clever enough to appear on a television quiz show? All they're doing is exposing their ignorance to the nation!

This episode is full of people who would’ve been the first ones out in any other game. I would’ve been more satisfied if Melanie pulled the W but even then she would’ve been a below average winner. Maria has to be the worst runner up in this show. If not, I need to see that episode.

Weakest Link is better in United Kingdom!!!!!

Wow some right thick people on here and some real easy questions too, why would you go on the show if you don’t have some basic knowledge

34:19 Alex is cheating

Why is the host sooooo mean all the time

Ann commented about chain

MAC Got James Bond Wrong I Would That Right

What a weak group of contestants. And there were too many entertainment questions

Worse game ever

Lion

Emmanuel's teeth 😅

Son

Contestants are terrible players who can't play

Susan your worst player

Russia

They voted Emmanuel out only because he was black...
