Weakest Link R1 Quiz (9/29/2020)

Here are the clues from the first round of “Weakest Link” (9/29/2020). This was the debut episode with host Jane Lynch. The way this works is they start with 8 players and eliminate one at the end of each round until only 2 are left standing to compete for the money that has been accumulated.

Round 1 was worth a potential $25,000. They would have to answer 8 questions in a row to get there. However, every time someone gives a wrong answer, the questions start at $1,000 again. They also have the option to hit the button and say BANK. Whatever money has been earned at that point would be safe but they start at $1,000 again.
