But then it starts to crumble on the $250,000 chain and completely falls apart on the $500,000 chain. Rounds 3 and 4 have solid chains, giving you understandable reasons to bank but also enough risk to make playing on worth it. The chains start out not-great-but-decent in the first round or two, though offer little reason to not bank pretty much immediately. Instead it starts out working fine and ends up being atrocious by the end. It’s a fantastic idea in theory and if the chains were made to make contestants take calculated risks to carry on while offering logical reasons to Bank, which creates an exciting game, it would work brilliantly. We start to slip from good to bad with the new mechanic of the money tree rising in each round. Things merge together and it’s hard to follow the action. The set is also nice for the most part, though too dark and pixelated due to the LED screens everywhere. The updated music from Paul Farrer is fantastic. She’s snarky, funny, and keeps the game moving briskly. Jane is essentially dream casting for this role and didn’t disappoint. While original host Anne Robinson was obviously fantastic, especially on the original British version, she never came off as a great fit for the American version. The most unimpeachable positive is host Jane Lynch. They vote out who they think is the Weakest Link at the end of each round, and the final two play a best-of-five head-to-head to see who wins the final bank. A wrong answer breaks the chain and restarts at $0, but they can Bank before any question is asked to save the money but start over.

Eight contestants play a series of quiz rounds with each answer in a row bringing them higher up the money chain. The core of the old American Weakest Link exists.
