The contestants take turns answering general knowledge questions to build chains of correct answers. Consecutive correct answers greatly increase the value of the chain, while incorrect answers break the chain and force the contestants to start over on the lowest rung with the smallest amount money. At the end of each round, contestants vote to eliminate the fellow contestant they consider to be the &#8220;Weakest Link&#8221; in the chain. The contestant who receives the highest number of votes leaves the game as the host declares the iconic phrase, &#8220;You are the Weakest Link.
