 So Kem is as thick as he looks... Loved the episode though, we really need a full series! |

The Sun is reporting that The Weakest Link is finally coming back for the revived celebrity series, this time with Romesh Ranganathan as host!
I had a feeling it would come back since the recent US revival went fairly well. Romesh is an interesting choice as host. |

Now confirmed by the BBC! It's a 12-part series that has been ordered.

I’ve been watching past episodes of The Weakest Link in Challenge recently and realised looking back just how cruel Anne Robinson was in some of her remarks to contestants, which made me think that there would be no way to revive this show in 2021, and if they did it would have to be someone who can engage in gentle ribbing without crossing over to downright cruelty. I thought that Robert Rinder would be the ideal person to fit that purpose, but it’ll be interesting to see how different the show is with Romesh Ranganathan.

There was a video doing the rounds on twitter a while ago from an episode in which Anne was making fun of a mother for being single, it was very uncomfortable to watch!

There's an interview with Anne Robinson on the BBC website today where she talks about being the host of "Countdown" but also reflects on the "Weakest Link" and how it couldn't be made now in the same way which is interesting.

She's been doing some gentle teasing on Countdown but nothing like her Weakest Link barbs.

If they do it they just need to get Anne back. Why do they always have to re-do it with some celebrity host?

Great that the format is coming back, i've loved watching some of the re-runs on Challenge for the nostalgia.
The sniping at the contestants aspect is obviously going to be incredibly toned down for the 2021 audience. |

Matt Allwright correctly answered every question he was asked on today's show. Very impressive.

I wonder if anyone has ever got every question correct on the Weakest Link throughout the whole show?

I saw one of the celeb ones the other day. I think some of the format changes are a great idea like the picture on tablet questions and the money increasing further in later rounds and it was a decent quiz. But I did feel that Anne's acid tongued sniping at the contestants was missing, however much it might not work today I feel that was a big part of what made the show unique.

QUOTE(Iceman501 @ Dec 28 2021, 11:59 PM)  I wonder if anyone has ever got every question correct on the Weakest Link throughout the whole show? CJ de Mooi (former Egghead) did that and was voted off in the final round as the others clearly knew they would lose to him in the final. He wasn't pleased. |

I'm enjoying the revival but, as much as I like Romesh, I don't think he's fully made the role his own yet. If there's another series, hopefully he'll settle into the host role a bit more.
Incidentally, yesterday's edition had 4.2m viewers in the ratings and was the most watched show of the day! I can definitely see it coming back since it hasn't collapsed after its launch alongside the Strictly final. |
