In November, in an effort to raise ratings, the syndicated "Weakest Link" starring George Gray, will air three special themed weeks of shows and one special event.

Two of the weeks will be "Big Money" Week and "College" Week, and the third will be "Hard-at-Work" Week when viewers will watch clowns, bodybuilders, firefighters, hairstylists and local radio DJ's compete for the grand prize.

The special event episode will feature a TV Trivia theme where all questions will have something to do with an aspect or genre of television.

These ratings will be airing during November 2002 sweeps.

Does this signal the end of the syndicated Weakest Link? Sounds to me like they are desperate for good ratings, so they are scraping up these themed-weeks. Well, as long as they don't start to bring in celebrities, I think we'll be okay. But this may be too late for the show's overall success. :(
