Here are the clues from Round 5 of “Weakest Link” (10/6/2020) with host Jane Lynch. We are now down to 4 players. This round was worth a potential $250,000.

Whatever money has been earned at that point would be safe but they start at $2,500 again. There is $33,500 in their bank so far.

Jane Lynch: Anoelle, you are tonight’s strongest link. You leave here with $51,000. Congratulations. What does it feel like to be the strongest link?
Anoelle: I did it. I came to play. I came to collect. I’m so grateful.

Jane Lynch: Arielle, if this were the Olympics, you’d get a Silver Medal, but it is not. You get nothing.
Arielle: It’s definitely difficult to come as far as I did and come up short. I think because of my charm and charisma, I was able to make it to the Final Two. In that last round, some of the questions were a little harder than I anticipated. This (gesturing at herself) can only get you so far.
