Tim asked of WL: "what happens if there's a tie vote?" Assuming everything is done as in the UK version... The strongest link in that round gets to choose who goes. This is true even if they are one of the potential victims. They can change their mind from their vote. As a result of this, being slightly circumspect about criticising others when you are in a tied vote can often pay dividends. It was such a tied vote that indeed did for me - the last four all voted for someone different, and the woman who had just gone from being perenially weak to strongest (by the simple ruse of banking the money - if questions correct is tied, money banked is the decider [yes, it's unfair - we know!]) voted for me and then chose me to leave. What I think of her is unprintable. As for question difficulty, the questions should be all the same, but they tend to be somewhat random. Think yourself lucky that yours are actually *accurate*. Oh, and to explain something that might or might not have happened: Anne Robinson can't pronounce stuff at all. So if a contestant looks blank, it's because La Robinson ballsed it up, and her bit has been re-recorded while the contestant had to cope with the garbled version. Unfair? Very. The most infamous example was where she asked (phonetic transcription here): "With which sport would you associate Gene Allicey?" "Huh?" went the contestant. The question as eventually heard read: "With which sport would you associate Jean Alesi?" That sucks. Enough moaning! Rob.
