TV: Weakest Link is too weak to watch

There may have been nothing weak about NBC’s “Link” launch, that is the ratings may have been great, but I watched last night’s show and it wore out quickly. This show features a sarcastic, condescending host and eight contestants in a mix of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” and “Survivor” to answer several rounds of questions with one contestant being voted off by the others after each round. I think Anne Robinson is going to go insane soon and walk around saying simply “You are the weakest link. Goodbye.” to one and all.

Update: NBC is planning a special episode, to run against the Survivor II finale, featuring several Survivor I cast members (Richard, Susan, Gervaise, and so on). But, and here’s the catch, they can’t use the word Survivor when promoting the episode!
