''The Weakest Link'' was an Australian game show based on the successful UK format, which aired from 5 February 2001 until 8 April 2002 and was broadcast on the Seven Network. Presented by Cornelia Frances, the show featured nine contestants competing for a potential prize of $100,000. Airing twice weekly in primetime, on Mondays and Fridays, later Thursdays, it received modest ratings until its cancellation. The Monday edition indirectly competed against the more-popular ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'' (which airs at a later time on another network) and the Friday edition served as a lead-in to the AFL telecasts in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia only. Later on in the year, ''The Weakest Link'' was moved to Thursdays at 7:30pm. In 2002, the show aired only once a week, on Mondays. Due to poor ratings, the show was cancelled for good with one of the final episodes being a lifestyle special that aired on 8 April 2002. The final episode aired on Monday, April 22, 2002. The show was produced in the Seven Network's South Melbourne headquarters. ==Format== The format of the Australian series was identical to that of the British version apart from some slight time differences on rounds. The first round lasted for 2 minutes and 30 seconds as opposed to 3 minutes on the British version, and each round thereafter was reduced by 10 seconds (meaning a time limit of 80 seconds for the triple stakes round). As with the British version, any money banked in round eight is trebled (e.g. if the contestants bank $1,000 then $3,000 is added to the final total). The money tree is as follows: *$10,000 *$8,000 *$6,000 *$4,500 *$3,000 *$2,000 *$1,000 *$500 *$200 The voice-over was Marcus Irvine, whilst the adjudicator was Alan Mason, the contestant revealed as the first season's Mole. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Weakest Link (Australian game show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
