You Are The Weakest Link, Goodbye! Yes, the "Rudest Person on Television" is about to hit American airwaves as NBC desperately tries to catch up to "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" and "Survivor". This little BBC profile of Anne Robinson explains it all for us unsuspecting Yanks. Is "YATWLG" about to be the next hot meme?

BBC to repeat 'racist' remarks. On Monday night's Room 101 show, Anne Robinson (currently preparing to launch the US version of her quiz show The Weakest Link) launched into an attack on Welsh people and their language. Despite protests, and the fact that North Wales police are investigating Robinson's remarks, the BBC has rejected requests not to broadcast tonight's repeat of the programme.
