    What is Anne Robinson doing?

    Anne Robinson is well known in the UK as a champion for consumers on Watchdog and as the presenter for Points of View. So, this show should have been a breeze for her. Above all, she's a friendly, familiar face on British Television.

    So what happened when she started presenting the Weakest Link? Why did she suddenly attempt to change her personality? What's with the poor jokes and bad attitude? It certainly doesn't suit her, nor the show!

    Bring back the real Anne Robinson!

    Horribly funny

    This show is so funny that sometimes it can be a horrible show. I hate it when Ann makes fun of somebody when they do something wrong. She thinks that she is better than everyone else. I also hate the attitude that the contestant give after they have been voted off.

    Bitchy but brill

    The Weakest Link is great telly! So nice to see a gameshow where all the contestants, and the host, aren't doing that same old smiley, friendly stuff. You go on a show like this to win....so it's great that you can actually say what the hell you like about the others. It's gripping because at home it's dead easy and they all look like rabbits trapped in headlights. Plus, real jealousy rears it's ugly head!! I love it!!

    I also won it in March 2001, so perhaps I'm slightly biased...but what the hell!

    A ruthless show with a cut-throat edge!

    Who would've thought that Anne Robinson would become a sight to be reckoned with on both sides of the atlantic?

    It's not surprising to know why the " The Weakest Link" became such a show that had more than just a few average heads turning in it's direction.

    This is more than just a typical game show to begin with. . .Gone are the days when pathetic game shows featuring annoying fake charmed contestants would congratulate one another for beating the best one out. This one really bites the dust!

    Anne Robinson has become one HELL of a lean mean killing machine with her brute-force cutthroat comments towards her contestants, narrowing it down to more of a black and white outlook.

    It's even amazing to learn that this is not of those "go lucky game shows" where everyone leaves satisfied, but more realistic with the way everyone responds to winning and losing.

    This truly is a GAME for the new Millenium. ROCK ON Anne Robinson, you are the strongest link.

    I Like It

    This is quite a good quiz show . I know everyone mentions the camp nastiness of quiz mistress Anne Robinson and she does a good job of the quiz mistress from hell but the most enjoyable part of the show is laughing at the muppet contestants who show themselves to be intellectually challenged :

    Robinson: Brian Cox played what notorious serial killer in Michael Mann`s 1986 film Manhunter ?

    Muppet : Robert De Niro

    Robinson : What is the national anthem of New Zealand ?

    Another Muppet : Australia forever

    I didn`t make up these two answers by the way , they`re both genuine . Makes me wonder if anyone has been turned down by the show for being too stupid , and believe it or not a complete half wit occasionally goes home with the money
