![]() ![]() Goodbye." Anne Robinson is a bitch and a scold, and sure it's all an act - see how she winks and smiles ever so slightly when she says goodbye at each show's end? But after the thoroughly unpleasant exercise in public humiliation we've just witnessed, that wink is just creepy: Imagine Godzilla turning to the audience in midchomp and shrugging, "Whaddaya so afraid of? It's my shtick!" WEAKESTLINK?'" And of course, there's the polar chill of her signature line, with which she curtly dismisses losers from the show: "You ARE the. WEAKESTLINK" 36 times in the space of one hourlong show last week. She says it the same way, every time, which gets old pretty fast, given the fact that she said "the. WEAKESTLINK!" - with an accent on the first syllable. ![]() And she has a way of pronouncing the name of the show, throwing her whole body into it like a female softball pitcher letting one fly it comes out sounding like "the. She wears black, sometimes leather, overcoats and her red hair is cropped in a no-nonsense Julie Andrews do. The audience, which appears to have been coached to side with the host, gasps appreciatively when Robinson launches a zinger. The contestants, who appear to have been coached to not bite back, stand there and look miserable. "Is there any beginning to your knowledge?" "Not a single question correct, Chuck," she sniffs to one contestant. "Who is the poster child for incompetence?" Robinson sneers in her flutey, upper crust accent as the eight contestants flub answers and fail to rack up winnings. Watching the affectedly severe British host of NBC's much-hyped new quiz show, "Weakest Link," use shame and ridicule to put down contestants' lack of intelligence, you feel like you're back in grade school, quaking at your desk as some bitter battle-ax of a teacher rips into the slowest kid in the class. She isn't fun to hate, like Jerri on "Survivor: The Australian Outback." She isn't fun, period.
