Had potential, but when no one can reach the top of the chain, what's the use? Just have to settle for low stakes. You can get drunk very quick when you take a shot everytime Anne makes a lame, scripted insult, or when a contestant makes lame reasons for voting or lame comebacks at Anne. The post-elimination interviews? Who cares?

Its an all or nothing quiz show. Anne Robinson asks a barrage of questions whilst contestants to struggle to eliminate who they deem to be the weakest link. Who will turn up trumps and win the cash prize?

Bring back Anne Robinson. This show gave us a lot of laughs.
disneychannel_ fan12 01/02/2006
I really like the weakest link. It's sometimes funny.
kattwoman 05/14/2005
it was ok but it had more to do with strategy than knowledge but you still had to have a little of it or your chances of getting voted off were greater. alot of people should have banked more often sometimes it was frustrating when they didnt and then they would miss their question

You Americans just don't get it!! Anne Robinson is playing a character in Weakest Link - I know I've been on the show (UK)!! She really is a lovely lady. Part of the reason and fun of watching WL is the put downs and remarks bu Anne!! The contestants ake it with a pinch of salt (over here anyway) and have a great day!!

anyone who is going on the show, knows what he is going to get and the ones with the best powers of concentration are invariably winning

you are the weakest show.
Mr Evangel 10/08/2004
That show was better when they had the mean lady as the host. When they took her off it became just another stupid game show.
James Danco 09/08/2004
What a terrible show! I used to like it, but now that host has really gotten to me. She is so mean and rude to the contestants that I don't think she should be on the air anymore. I do like the questions, though. Not too hard, not too easy.
BeatlesfanStev eo 07/11/2004
A very good games shows it is one of my favorate game shows it is funny and the questions are not out of this world hard like some game shows.

"The Weakest Link" is the "weakest show" in all of television history. Total ennui!
dman687 08/13/2003
I didn't mind the hour long version on NBC with Anne but the show got good with George. Definitely my favourite game show, it will be missed.
freshlysqueeze dcynic 08/09/2003
On behalf of all the people of the UK, I would like to apologise for giving the world this terrible, terrible show. One thing though, I've seen the US ones. They're better than the UK's ones. Imagine what ours must be like, and pity us. Anne's comments seem forced and scripted, and it is just an annoying show, with her grating voice, and the fact that she tries to wink, but she can't, so it ends up as a spasm, like she's having a stroke.
what up dog 07/10/2003
this show sucked. that girl that hosts it just PISSSES ME OFF! they shoulda put a mass murderer on it before he goes to jail so when she does her little joke and the sarcastic look he takes out a shotgun and kills her. he probably wouldnt go to jail cause he's doin everyone a favor and killing her.
jdwright 06/22/2003
I LOVED THIS SHOW! Why was it cancelled?? The Game Show Network (www.gsn.com) is showing both American and Brittish reruns of this show.
philc 04/21/2003
I liked it a lot and wish Anne Robinson would come back. The guy who took her place in the afternoons is not funny to me.
President -X-D 04/15/2003
I think the host is funny, but I really hate any show which involves "voting" people off the show.
Joe23665 04/14/2003
Hateful old she-buzzard
drbanner 03/27/2003
She was so funny! Too bad it didn't last longer. I'm glad the reruns are on GSN.
mom2four 03/08/2003
Anne Robinson is quite possibly the most annoying person ever. She insults the contestants and calls them names, implying that they are stupid if they get an answer wrong. All of her "wit" isn't hers, it's scripted. She's nothing but a stupid bore who wouldn't have anything to say if it wasn't written for her. Rude, and awful--I have no idea how this show even made it to air. If British people accept her behavior and condone Anne's forked tongue comments, then they can have her. Obviously America has had their fill. I for one am very glad this ugly red headed big mouth is GONE!GOODBYE!
BIGBABY 02/01/2003
I don't know what's going on... this show hasen't been canceled. It's just picked up a better and less annoying host.
hrod 11/13/2002
Goodbye.
cattleannie 08/28/2002
Thank goodness its gone and never to return I hope. This one was the worst, is this all that the networks exitives can comeup with? They should be fired. But then NBC gave us the XFL. Both shows made me want to hurl.
hOtBaBie12701 07/14/2002
good show...but GET RID OF ANNE NOW! she is so da*n annoying! does she actually LIKE being hated by all of america? i wonder! anyways, if anne is gone, i think the show would be good!...although it's almost impossible to actually WIN the money, because your judged so much by your competitors...oh well, i think it's fun to watch!
swoopy1950 07/11/2002
HEY I ENJOYED THE WEAKEST LINK IT WAS EDUCATIONAL AND FUNNY. JUST GET RID OF ANNE AND HER VOICE AND PUT ANTOHER HOST AND GO FOR IT
Quincy 06/28/2002
An innovation in the game show genre, despite the WWTBaM staging. I will truly miss it.
Davis21Wylie 06/25/2002
Finally it's off the air!!!!
watergirl 04/23/2002
They crossed the line with the children's show. My entire family watched in horror as young boys and girls hurt each other's feelings, were reduced to quivering lips, tears, embarassment. I truly can't believe they aired this show and humiliated the contestants. This type of game show format is not for children!! We will not watch the show any longer as we have lost total respect for the producers.
SteveMoniz 04/01/2002
I enjoy the concept of the show, however I feel that the format could be tweaked just a little bit. My suggestion is that the strongest link in each round be protected from being voted off. This would be especially helpful when it gets down to the last 3 and the weaker players get rid of the "standout performer" of the entire show. NOBODY wants to see that happen and it makes me question whether I'll watch another episode.
whitedevil311 03/20/2002
That Anne Robinson lady is just a little too rude for my liking.
cooltmd 03/13/2002
I think her show needs to be cancelled because I don't like the way she treats components and guests. She's a Judge Judy wannabe.
AnonBrit 03/10/2002
Anne Robinson rocks! You can see her and the contestants enjoy the sparring and that she's just putting on an act for the cameras. It's all a game, and she comes up with some great one-liners. The format of the show is great with a classy, understated set. I found this show so refreshing because it avoided the usual fake-nice hosts sucking up to pig-ignorant contestants. If they're dumb, she points it out- what a refreshing change to hosts pretending their dumb anwers aren't hilarious.
endoline2004 02/03/2002
WELL SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT THE HOST IS VERY RUDE,I KNOW ITS PART OF HER JOB AND SHE DOES IT WELL,BUT I CAN JUST SEE ONE DAY HER GETTING HER FEELINGS VERY HURT.LETS HOPE IT DOES NOT COME TO THAT .OVERALL THE SHOW IS OK,I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANY ONE,I ONLY WATCH WHEN CELEB'S OR ON THERE AND THATS NOT RARELY,I JUST DONT SEE THIS SHOW BEING AROUND TO LONG....
Kylelink 01/27/2002
I just love torcher. Torcher makes it exciting for me.
LoneUSFullHous eFan 01/21/2002
It used to be good, but it has gotten old. Now it is only good when celebrities are on.
iborg23 12/23/2001
Ann Robinson is the god of your puns and insult's are getting old. Get some new material. Your contestants are getting better than you are. they are out witting you Ann and leaving you standing there with nothing to say. At this rate, you will soon be reduced to just trying to figure out how to out wit the nearest neighbor. When it comes to a singular wit, I would welcome your challenge and wipe the floor with you.
ClassicTVFan47 11/13/2001
Featuring one of the wittiest hosts of a Gameshow in a while, Weakest Link is a great show. The questions range from simple to challenging and the people they have on the show are quite diverse. The celebrity editions are also quite cool.
tlp8667 10/16/2001
Since the beginning of this show I have enjoyed it immensely. With the exception of the recent celebrity shows. These people are supposedly on the show to earn money for various charities. Instead they spend the majority of their time showing off for the camera, as well as trying to get one up on Anne Robinson. Which is a pity, as it is the charities that suffer for their ludicrous behaviour. Quite frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves.
Molfan 10/10/2001
I tried watching this show a couple times and found it to be mean spirited. I realize that it is just an "act" for Anne Robinson to be the stern insulting quiz person. but geez the contestants are mean. Vote off the best player so the poor players can win. I did not find this show very entertaining. I think I will stick to the classic Jeopardy. I would not want to be on a quiz show where you are voted off. and also made to feel stupid.
TheFreak 09/12/2001
One itty-bitty improvement to be suggested---I'm tired of seeing the strongest link always getting voted off, and the total dummies winning. So give the strongest player an immunity. I love this show, though. I like to take a guess at how I would do on this show. One time, in accordance to the number of questions I got right and depending on where I was standing, I would have won! When I turn 18, I'm going to try and get on this show. I luv Anne's little jokes and the merciless way she treats the players. So my comment is: And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson! One of three (modern) tv shows that gets five stars.
william marrison 09/01/2001
i think that ms.robinson does a bang up job at what she does. true, she can be a bit nasty in her own way, but thats her way! some of the contestants, iv'e noticed, can act very childish, and they deserve both barrels when anne dishes it out when she tells them that they are, "the weakest link!"
NickL 08/06/2001
The most fantastic game show to be on TV. Has the speed which WWTBAM and Surivor lacks, has wit, and has a great format.
callmetootie 07/30/2001
This game show rocks!
tchaikovsky2 07/30/2001
If you can't handle Anne's comments then God help you. Having grown up in a British household I can tell you that her comments are not far off from that of my own dear mother. British people might seem harsh .. . but it is all done in fun and love. I find Anne Robinson's dry sense of humour and quick wit wonderful! I'm hooked to this show not only for it's informative nature but for it's humour. Can't handle her comments, well then "you are the weakest link .. . goodbye."
pedrogouveia 07/24/2001
That woman is just so annoying!!!
MJSThirty6 07/17/2001
What I like about this show is that it moves quicker. The contestants are from different walks of life(where Who Wants to Be a Millionaire restricts contestants to only six-figure wage earners). I get a kick out of Anne Robinson's sarcasm, even if it is fed to her through a earpiece. I seem to recall the late Paul Lynde of "Hollywood Squares". His punchlines were scripted. The contestants know what they are walking into as much as someone going to see a comedian like Don Rickles. I do not like the Darth Vadar type of set. It's unoriginal
jeffrey715 07/09/2001
You are the weakest host, goodbye!
jibman33 07/05/2001
At last - we have a game show that mimics real life! Just like only one person can get a job position, each episode has only one winner, a truth that clearly presents itself here. While many people are turned off to the show by Anne Robinson's sarcasm, I hold the opinion that she is merely acting out the impulses that many of us have while watching game shows. Come on, can anyone here honestly say that they have never called a game show contestant stupid when watching at home on TV? After all, there have been many people on the show who deserved the acidic barbs that Anne launched at them. This show must be what happened when "Survivor" and "Millionaire" had a bizarre love child. An acquired taste, to be sure, but sheer brilliance nonetheless.
