I don't own Smallville or The Weakest Link.

Rating:

Mainly is PG but could slip to PG-13 or R based on players responses to getting kicked off the show by their friends.

Summary:

This story is a crossover between the game show, The Weakest Link and the WB Television show Smallville.

When I originally wrote this fan fiction I failed to realize that people from all over the world read these stories and may or may not have a working knowledge of The Weakest Link or what Smallville is all about.

The Weakest Link is a show that originally aired on the BBC in England, but adapted for NBC to air on their Sunday night line up. The show takes 8, usually complete strangers, and makes them answer random trivia questions to build and bank money from round to round. At the end of a round, the team votes off the player that they believe is the weakest link. This progresses through Seven rounds where during the eighth round the last two players go head to head for the value of the bank.

Smallville is the latest incarnation of the Superman story. This time they pick up on Clark Kent's life while he still lives in Smallville Kansas. The story is roughly set in modern times. Everybody is wearing the latest fashions and listening to current pop music, so I would say the show takes place in either 2001 or 2002. The show deals a lot with Clark's time as a high school student and just starting to discover the abilities that will someday make him Superman.

Author's Note:

One reviewer of this story asked why this isn't all Smallville trivia. The game show, The Weakest Link is mixed trivia show. You never know what they will ask, so a show about one topic would never work. Also, since the characters of the story are from Smallville, they would know all the answers.

Game Rules:

Game Play will be based on standard U.S. rules. Values of questions will be 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000, 25000, 50000, 75000, and 125000 and after the final elimination after round 6, the bank players build in round 7 will be doubled.

Game Play:

Game play will be strategically created to simulate the show as best as possible. The most won on the show is just over $167,000 which was done by Levar Burton during the Star Trek Weakest Link Special. Because they are just kids, they won't make as much as he did.

Time on the clock will be listed in [ ] after each question and the value of the chain will be listed in ( ) each time Anne says correct or some other affirmative response. I will also list in the value of banked money.

Most of Anne's speeches are paraphrased as creative license but her sharp wit in genuine.

Reviews of Story:
