    Best game show ever!

    In my opinion "The Weakest Link" is one of the best and meanest game shows ever. The game goes like this, the show starts off with 8 contestants. Round by round one person gets voted off as the weakest link. After the voting procedure Anne Robinson makes rude comments about how dumb the people are. If you don't like the questions on Who Wants to be a Millionaire then you won't like the Weakest Link.

    The special was fantastic!

    I mean HHH looked so great and he was funny. He won too! Bigshow was funny-while he lasted. The show was great and I can't wait to see the next Special.

    Weakest Link is the best-especially when WWE superstars get involved!

    Strongest Link goes to Robinson.

    This is an intense game show that tests the knowledge of a group of contestants, while also testing their survival skills as the land man, or woman, standing is able to win any money at the end of the contest. It's a nail-biting battle as the contestants vote each other off until the final two face off against each other at the end of the program.

    As with a number of game or reality shows, there is always one or two contestants that comes off as arrogant or cocky, and you will love to see them voted off the show. That is unfortunately seen quite a bit in this series, which takes away the pleasure from the fun. But, what makes up for it is hostess Anne Robinson's downright brutal remarks, sarcastic dialog and witty comebacks. She is definitely the strongest link and highlight of the show.

    It's a good program where you could gain some trivia knowledge from the questions asked and be entertained by one of the brutally honest and sarcastically funny game show host.

    Grade A-

    Forget "Millionaire"

    If you love the way "Millionaire" is played on ABC, you will forget all about it after watching "Weakest Link."

    Weakest Link first aired on NBC in mid 2000, it's in it's second season. It stars Anne Robinson (voted the meanest host on television by BBC)

    The game starts with 8 players. The first round is 2 and a half minutes and decreases 10 seconds each round after. The objective is to get 8 questions CORRECTLY AND IN A ROW to get your $125,000. You can bank earlier if you want (but money value is much less if you bank too early)

    At the end of the round the real fun begins. You vote off the person you "think" is the Weakest Link. Once votes are revealed, Anne insults the players. It's so funny, you'll laugh with the audiance in the background!

    "Link" is on Sunday and Monday nights on NBC and Friday nights on the PAX network.

    Sorry folks, but this show sucks.

    I know that most of the people who commented on this version of "The Weakest Link" think it's a great game show, but I disagree. I think the version sucks, and there's one good reason for it...

    Anne Robinson!! That's why this version sucks. She's insulting to the contestants, and frankly, she isn't funny at all. She bores me to death on this version. It's just painful to watch. If you're like me, watch the 30 minute version with George Gray (which is a million time BETTER!!!)

    This version sucks, and I hate it.
