A surreal and humiliating blend of "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" and "Survivor," this quiz show pits eight contestants against one another as they answer seven rounds of questions. Money is added to the pot for every question they get right, but sinks to zero for wrong answers. Each round ends with the players voting one contestant off, and the last one left takes home all the prize money.
Weakest Link — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

While host Anne Robinson's imperious style may be a bracing novelty for American audiences in this remake of a British gameshow, the nasty appeal dissipates and exposes how disengaging the format really is.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Well, it would be, if it wasn't for Ms. Robinson, whose meanness is a contagion that infects the contestants. Go to Full Review Joyce Millman Salon.com 10/07/2019
The players on "Weakest Link" are only fodder for Robinson's pointless cruelty and acrid negativity. We learn almost nothing about them. Every episode looks the same; every batch of contestants is interchangeable and colorless. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 10/07/2019
The show itself constitutes irritating harassment. It's also confusing, tiresome and gratuitously snippy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
