Quistis: "Rikku."
Rikku: "Quistis."
Lulu: "Quistis."
[light and sound effects. Boy, does Quistis look unhappy.]
Anne Robinson: "Woman with the apparently-not-itchy dress, why Quistis?"
Lulu (staring daggers at Anne): "I have my reasons."
Anne Robinson: "Yes, the reason being 'She'll be far more of a threat in the final than Rikku so I'll be a coward and vote her off now'."
[Lulu shoots a stare at Anne that's so cold, you can almost see her breath through it]
Anne Robinson: "Woman who can't feel the cold, why Quistis?"
Rikku: "Well, she's voted for me for three rounds in a row now!"
Anne Robinson: "Did you think she was the worst player in the last round?"
Rikku (suddenly getting a little on the nervous side): "She might have been."
Anne Robinson (dripping with patronisation): "Wrong!"
[Rikku starts blushing]
Anne Robinson: "In that round, you were the worst player! However, it's the votes that matter. Quistis, your game has gone belly-up! You are the weakest link- goodbye!"
[...and Quistis takes the walk of shame, making an effort to cover her navel as she leaves.]
[backstage]
Quistis (sighing): "I knew that would happen, I knew they'd vote tactically- still, at least I got further than Rinoa did. If you were to ask me who's more intimidating, Anne or Ultimecia, I'd still have to go with Ultimecia. However, if Anne were to suddenly develop magical powers, then that really would be adding injury to insult."

Anne Robinson: "Round 8, and out of a possible 35 000 gil so far, you have 8050 in the bank. You're down to ninety seconds in this round, but anything you bank will be trebled. We would start with the strongest link from the last round, but like cowards, you voted her off, so we'll have to start with the second strongest, which was Lulu. So, if you're ready, let's play the weakest link!"

Anne Robinson: "Start the clock."
[light and sound effects]
Anne Robinson: "Lulu, in the Nibelheim mansion, how many numbers need to be entered for the safe to open?"
Lulu: "Four."
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Rikku, whose card refines into 100 heroes?"
Rikku (struggling- the nerves are still clearly there): "Erm, um, Squall?"
Anne Robinson: "No dear, Laguna."
Rikku (frustrated): "Darn it!"
Anne Robinson: "Lulu, in which state was Kuja when he destroyed Terra?"
Lulu: "Trance."
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Rikku, how many pieces of huge materia were there?"
Rikku (still frayed nerves): "Four!"
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Lulu, which type of item contained the GF Diablos? A bottle or a lamp?"
Lulu: "A lamp."
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Rikku, Eye Drops cu-"
Rikku (hastily): "Bank!"
Anne Robinson (condescendingly): "Too late, Rikku! ("normally") Eye Drops traditionally cure which status abnormality?"
Rikku (flustered from her bodged bank): "Darkness?"
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Lulu, which GF attacks with 'Ruby Light'?"
Lulu (her eyes narrowing, having to think about it): "Carbuncle?"
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Rik-"
Rikku (hastily and loudly): "Bank!!!"
Anne Robinson: "Where was the temple of the ancients located, in a forest or in the desert?"
Rikku (her nerves starting to SERIOUSLY fray): "Umm, the desert?"
Anne Robinson (condescendingly): "No dear, a forest."
Rikku (really annoyed at herself): "Darn it!"
Anne Robinson: "Lulu, which item, usually used at save points, fully restores a party's health?"
Lulu: "A tent."
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Rikku,"
Rikku: "Bank!"
Anne Robinson: "Rikku, what does the term "GF" stand for?"
Rikku (enthusiastically. She knows this one): "Guardian Force!"
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Lulu, Godo is ruler of which city?"
Lulu: "Wutai."
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Rikku,"
Rikku: "Bank!"
Anne Robinson: "Who is the traditional partner of Biggs?"
Rikku (chuffed- she knows this too): "Wedge!"
Anne Robinson: "Correct. Lulu, who-"
[light and sound effects]
Anne Robinson: "Time is up, I cannot complete the question, and amazingly, that was one of your best rounds yet, as you banked 1350 gil. We'll treble that and add it to your winnings, meaning prize money today of 12 100 gil. However, only one of you can take it away. I'll ask alternating questions, best out of five, and whoever gives me the most right answers will win. So, for twelve thousand and one hundred gil, let's play the weakest link!"
