Seventeen years after it left American airwaves, The Weakest Link is finally back Tuesday night in a reboot with Jane Lynch—yes, that Jane Lynch—as the host.
The basic premise of the revival remains the same: A group of eight strangers join to answer a string of questions, periodically voting out one of their number for underperforming—the so-called “weakest link”—as they stash a growing pot of winnings in their “bank” and forge fragile alliances. (If that sounds a little Survivor-y to you, consider that the original The Weakest Link debuted just three months after islanders first began to snuff one another’s tiki torches to smash ratings. Inaugural Survivor winner Richard Hatch was considered as The Weakest Link’s American host, going so far as to tape a pilot.)
