2. Round One

Title: Weakest Link: Live from Smallville

Author: Sgccyberwolf

Rating: This story will mainly be PG but could slip to PG-13 and R based on players responses to getting kicked off the show by their friends.

Summary: I was just playing Weakest Link on my PC and I thought how hard would be to write the Smallville Cast into the show. I am sure this has been done on many other TV shows, so I thought one more couldn't hurt. 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.Enjoy :-)

Disclaimer: I don't own Smallville or The Weakest Link.

Chapter 2: Round One

[Weakest Link Logo creates as it would on screen and then fades to show the host Anne Robinson]

Anne Robinson: Welcome to a Special Edition of the Weakest Link, Live from Smallville, Kansas. Any of the eight students in the game this evening could win up to $1,000,000 to attend the college of their choice. If they want the money, they will have to work together to build the bank, but seven will go home with nothing as round by round will get rid of the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

[Weakest Link musical tone cues again]

Lana Lang: My name is Lana. I am also 16 and attending my first year of Smallville High

Chloe Sullivan: Hey, I'm Chloe. I am editor of the Smallville High Torch. If I win; I will use the money to go a good Journalism School.

[Weakest Link musical tone cues up]

Anne Robinson: Each round I will ask rotating questions. Each correct answer brings you one step closer to the target goal of $125,000 per round, so the quickest way to get there is a chain of 8 correct answers. If you get your question wrong the chain is broken and money in the chain is lost; however, if you say 'bank' the money is preserved, but the chain still starts over.

The first round lasts only 2 1/2 minutes. The order of play was randomly selected before the show. We will start with the player in the first position, thats you, Clark. Let's play the weakest link.
