Rob writeth:
<<It's called "The
Weakest Link", and starts with 9 contestants (who haven't
met before the show). They answer questions in turn
for increasing amounts of money (20, 50, 80,
100... up to 1000) which is credited to a team total
(i.e. for all nine players - it's a bit like WWTBAM but
in turn). You can bank before your question, which
removes the risk of losing the current
position.>>
I would assume, then, that the disadvantage to
doing this would be (a) a greater likelihood of being
booted, and (b) that you can't win money as quickly if
you bank it....
Perversely, this sounds like a
cross between Greed and Survivor....
