    Had forgotten all about that.

    Amazing how the human mind has the capacity to block out traumatic experiences.

    Remember? Will I ever forget?

    Anyone taking part knows exactly what they're signing up for. It's not like they've never seen an episode before they applied.

    I thought it was cancelled precisely because it was so forgettable?

    I used to hate the way people were terrified of Anne Robinson. I'd have been more nervous about being on the telly, personally. The reason Anne wouldn't have bothered me was because I knew she wasn't particularly intelligent or knowledgeable. She'd regularly mispronounced words and names, showing that she had never heard of them before.

    The Irish one added even more stupid rules. One of them was that you had to let Eamonn Dunphy finish asking a question before you answered or it would count as a wrong answer. This was really annoying because he'd take an eternity to stop stuttering and stammering and get to the end of a sentence.

    I loved the Weakest Link back in the day, thought Anne was very funny and I'm enjoying the daily repeats on TG4!

    Anyway, to answer the OP's question, I recall reading an interview with a contestant and they said if you tried sparring with Anne they'd edit it out of the show. It was mostly in good fun anyway, Anne was never too harsh on many contestants.
    I guess just the audience would know.

    I was never sure as well as to whether there was an audience or not. You could never see them either way. Sometimes you could hear them laugh

    Most of the UK episodes didn't have an audience. They have done a few prime time episodes, all of which had an audience, but the majority did not. The US one always had an audience though.

    She was very funny at times. Especially when she'd take the piss out of people's jobs.

    I wonder what the set up was like. Was she actually improvising herself or was somebody feeding her lines.
