Apparently there are two more special Weakest Links. If one of them is channel controllers, what's the other one?

btw Did anyone ever see an episode of the normal Weakest Link (months ago) when one of the contestants was a woman called Sybill who was setaed for the whole show?

She must have had a disability or something, but was in a normal chair, not a wheelchair. The podium thing in front of her was shorter than everyone elses for obvious reasons.

When she got voted off near the end (she lasted for most rounds and was very knowledgable), the lights dimmed to 'walk of shame' mode, but obviously she Sybill didn't move. Then we saw backstage interview bit, and when we cut back to the studio she was gone (but her chair and shorter podium remained)

Ah but if there are two more then, there are two that we don't know what they are because the channel controllers one isn't really one because it was just a live special(ie not to be aired)

Well thats what I thought aswell, when Jack responds I might be able to tell you a story(a very dull one but none the less explain that slightly cryptic post)

Channel 4's forums aren't bad places actually. Reach4 was very funny at the time Morris's programme went out. They were going crazy in there!
Not one of them could spell paedophile either. (If I've got that wrong I'll shoot myself).
I don't post in anywhere near the amount of forums I used to post in, got it down to about 3 forums now!

Ah thats good then, it was some irritating guy obsessed with Donna Air, who brought the fact up on every topic and wrote in capitals, just someone generally irritating, told you it wasn't an interesting story!

By the way, did anyone see the comedians Weakest Link this evening? It was so hilariously funny. How Ann Robinson can keep a straight face I don't know!

They all did something daft during their walk of shame:

Ed Byrne opened his shirt and posed like a wrestler... *swoon* (I can't beleive he's chopped most of his lovely long hair off! He's still purdy though). Dave Gorman (also quite tasty) kissed Ann on the cheek as he went off, Nina Wadia did a tap-dance, to name but a few.

I missed the beginning. When I tuned in, two were already gone. Does anyone who they were?

PS Last weeks reality TV show stars Weakest Link was excellent too (and that featured the divine Nicholas Bateman - nobody dare call him 'Nasty Nick'!) Once again, *swoon*.

Helen Lederer was voted off first and I think Rhona Cameron was second. I could be wrong.

Nice to see Johnny won though! Seemed as though Anne liked him as she said 'Take your time Johnny' on the last question.

Have to say, that was the best WL I have seen in ages! More specials please Lorraine Hedgehog (or whatever your name is!)!
