Ea... ♪ - Ice Man. - Nope. Superman. Jennifer... - The tortoise. - Correct. Kelvin... - Bank. - The Euphrates. - Nope. The Rio Grande. Derek... - Dodge. - Correct. [dramatic tones] Time is up. Though it pains me to say it, that was actually a respectable round. Out of $25,000, you banked $13,000. - Wow. - That money goes to the next round. Don't get excited. It's not a "wow" situation. That money goes to the next round, but one of you does not. Who stares at frozen orange juice because it says "concentrate"? It's time to vote off the weakest link. [dramatic tones] announcer: In this strong first round, the strongest link is Jennifer, who answered all three of her questions correctly and banked money for the team. Statistically, the weakest link is our musician, Kelvin, who missed two questions. Is the team ready to tune him out? - The voting is complete. [dramatic tones] Jennifer... - Jane. - You say your job gives you superpowers. Explain. - Well, I'm a registered nurse. - Yep. - And I am now in the case-management sector, and I get to advocate for my patients and their families and let them know their rights. - I bet you love that. - I do. - Now, you love the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, and you got to dance onstage with him once. Tell us all about that. - I did. Oh, I could almost die now and come back again. - Mm-hmm. - So he had a jam session in Las Vegas. I said, "You need someone to dance." He said, "Well, come on up." - [gasps] - My husband pushed me up on the stage, kicked off my shoes... - Whoo! - Did a cartwheel... - Oh, you did? - And will be forever known as Soundcheck Sally. - Oh. - [chuckles] - Wow, that's a great story. Derek. - Jane. - Tell me what you do. - I'm a nephrologist. - Ooh. - So-- - Is that liver? - Kidney doctor. - Kidney, kidney, kidney. - Yes. - Well, you knew that, Jennifer, right? - I hope so. No, I did. - Derek, who do you want to get rid of in this round? - I voted for Phillip. I think he was the first incorrect answer. - So you would've gotten the Missy Elliot question right? - Of course. - Phillip, 'cause of your age, I was kind of surprised that you didn't get the Missy Elliot question. - You know, I shocked myself, Jane, so much. - Did you? Oh, yeah? - And my mom is on her TV screen screaming at me right now. I feel it. - What do you do for a living? - So I'm a college student now... - Mm-hmm. - And I'm also getting my start as an actor, working my way up and doing commercials. - I started out in commercials myself. - Yeah. - I remember I was 27 years old when I played the mother of a 14-year-old kid. I guess I looked mature. Do you think you were the weakest link? - I don't think I was the weakest link. - Because, statistically, you know was the weakest link? Kelvin. - Oh. - Yeah. Kelvin hiding over there. - I am not hiding. - Please tell us about your doll. - I do not have a doll. I have a son. My son's name is Little Chaos. And he is fashioned as a puppet, but he is my child. - Oh, all right. Are you a ventriloquist? - I am a ventriloquist. - Okay, this is now starting to make some sense to me. Does he dress like you? - We dress the same. - Okay, tell me about the little outfits. - You can have them made, but they're cheaper if you just go buy them at the store in the baby section. - Baby clothes? Oh. You're very interesting and terrifying at the same time. All right, it is time to reveal who the team thinks is the weakest link. [dramatic musical sting] [dramatic musical sting] - Phillip, as Missy Elliot would say, get your freak off the stage. With three votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. - Oh. - Aw. - Bye, Phillip.
