(Audience laughs.)
Anne: It's time to vote off, the weakest link.
(We all start writing again.)

Anne: Statistically, Arnold was the weakest player. And it's votes that count. Arnold, with 3 votes, you ARE the weakest link! Good-bye.
(Arnold takes the walk of shame and leaves the studio.)
Arnold: (after he was voted off.) It was surprising to see some of the girls voting for me. I guess they didn't want me around because I knew I was doing pretty terrible in that round. But it's okay. I'm happy with how far I got and hope that whoever is left wins a lot of loot.

Just like my previous chapters, I won't continue until I have surpassed 11 or 12 reviews in my story. If I get more reviews than my Lingo story, then I'm really good. Please review.)
