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.>>

Right.
The trick is to seem good (so don't hesitate, etc.)
but not so good as to seem like a major threat. It's
going to be a strange game, but has cult
potential!
For those of you familiar with UK shows, it's being
described as Fifteen-to-One meets Big
Brother!!!
