00:00Popular celebrities. They're chestnuts. I'm an open fire. Let's get roasting. This is The Weakest Link.
00:15Behind me are eight wise men and women, all being led by a star. You're welcome, guys.
00:21They're each trying to win up to £50,000 for charity, but to do that, they'll have to work together.
00:26Seven will leave with nothing, as round by round, we lose the player, voted The Weakest Link.
00:31Let's meet the team.
00:35I'm Lou, a comedian from Kent.
00:39I'm Ross, broadcaster from Glasgow via Hollywood.
00:43I'm Eddie, a comedian and presenter from West London.
00:48I'm Martine, and I'm an actress from Hackney.
00:52I'm David, I'm a comedian from Dublin.
00:56I'm Jess, a TV personality from Essex.
01:01I'm Blue, a drag queen from Northern Ireland.
01:05I'm Eddie, a Paralympian TV presenter and originally from East London.
01:13Do you know what, guys? I was running out of Christmas cheer for a bit, but hearing you say your names and where you're from, it's really perked me up.
01:20So thank you so much.
01:21I feel so Christmassy.
01:23OK, here come the rules.
01:25In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your target within the time limit.
01:30The target for round one is £2,500.
01:33The fastest way to get there is to work together to create a chain of eight correct answers.
01:40Get your question wrong, you break the chain and you lose all of the money in that chain.
01:44But if you press your button and say bank, before the question is asked, the money is safe and you begin a new chain from scratch.

06:26I'm enjoying it, though.

06:28Your banking is, um...
06:31You're obviously keen on making sure you get that right.
06:33Yes.
06:34We're trying to raise money for charity here.
06:37Can I ask why it is that you voted for Lou?
06:39I just felt, costumes-wise,

06:45and I want her out of here.
06:47Got you.
06:47And are you at all worried about her reaction?

06:59because there were no incorrect answers,
07:00but the dear question, your face lit up initially
07:03and then panic set in
07:05and then there was a little bit of hesitation, wasn't there?
07:08I think I'm just too glam for everyone here.
07:10Yeah.
07:11I mean, I expected this
07:14because I'm in a room full of very famous people
07:18and I'm just a lowly drag queen.
07:20No, I'm just kidding.
07:21Well, listen, Blue, I do think some of the votes
07:23are just because you're the most fabulous of the contestants,
07:26but I'm sorry to say
07:27that with four votes, Blue,
07:29you are the weakest link.
07:31Goodbye.
07:32It's going to be a blue Christmas without me, okay, guys?
07:35I prefer to Anne.
07:38You know what?
07:39It is a bit embarrassing to be the blueser.
07:42It is sad to go home first,
07:43but it's more sad that my family are watching me lose
07:46over Christmas dinner.
07:51Round two.
07:54So far, you have banked...
