Louise. Correct. Kheldar, what is the isle of the south-western coast of Cthol Murgos?

Kheldar. Verk…

(Time runs out, and music plays)

Louise. Kheldar, that was indeed the correct answer, but the time has run out. Finally, you're getting somewhere. You managed to bank 400 Gold Marks. But who is still letting the team down? Who needs to be cast into the Cherek Bore? It's time to vote off…The Weakest Link!

Aldur. Belgarath is the new Strongest Link, with no incorrect answers. Sadi is the new Weakest Link, getting all his questions wrong. But will this change the team's attitudes?

Louise. Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is…The Weakest Link!

Beldin. Sadi.

Kheldar. Ctuchik.

Sadi. Zedar.

Ctuchik. Belgarion.

Zedar. Belgarion.

Belgarath. Kheldar.

Belgarion. Beldin.

Louise. Beldin, why Sadi?

Beldin. He missed two extremely easy questions, and I think he's letting the team down.

Louise. Well, you missed one easy question this round too. So, Sadi, you don't know the history of your own country. Well I never! Belgarath, why Kheldar?

Belgarath. I can't believe that he dosen't know that Aldur is the oldest God. After all the years he's spent with me!

Louise. So? Zedar, why Belgarion?

Zedar. He's the Child of Light and our mortal enemy.

Louise. Well, Belgarion wasn't actually the worst player, was he, Sadi?

Sadi. I guess not…

Louise. But it's the votes that count, and with two votes, Belgarion, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

Belgarion. I never expected that I would be thrown off so early, but we weren't united against Ctuchik and Zedar, so I guess I get what I deserve. I think Beldin or Grandfather will win.

Thanks to all the people who have reviewed my story. I like reading your comments and suggestions.

Niriko Inverse: I was originally going to have Ce'Nedra on the show, but I decided it would be more fun if she was left out. As she is not a sorceress, she dosen't really feel any strong feelings of hate towards anyone else I could have put on, except Zandramas, which I never even contemplated.

You'll notice that I left a lot of people off the show who could've been on (Polgara, Velvet, Eriond, Barak to name a few) but I chose the ones who would fight the most with each other.

Nia Skywalk: I am glag that you like the idea, and I don't really know which questions you think are unfair. If you can tell me, I may be able to try to make the questions a bit fairer.

Asilin: This is meant to be a funny story/game, although I try to make the questions and answers as relevant as possible. Maybe Garion just didn't know the exact answers to the questions, which is what Louise was looking for.

Raal the Sword Master: Thank you for your compliment about the trivia questions, I usually check and make sure the answers are correct before I publish them. In the first and second rounds, they vote off the people they don't like, but by the third round, when the money is starting to accumulate, they are all trying to get as much as possible, and are therefore voting off the Weakest Link. However, Ctuchik and Zedar are still trying to get their enemies off the show, and I have done it this way as it seems more fun.

Thank you all very much for your reviews and I hope I hear from you again – Kinguther2
