Viewers Criticize Charlotte Crosby’s Loud Answers on The Weakest Link

Fans of the popular game show The Weakest Link expressed their confusion and frustration during a recent special episode featuring celebrity contestants. The episode, which aired on December 31, 2023, showcased a lineup of notable figures, including reality star Charlotte Crosby and comedian Romesh Ranganathan as the host. Viewers were quick to notice Crosby’s vocal delivery, which many described as excessively loud.

As Ranganathan posed general knowledge questions to the contestants, viewers at home took to social media to voice their opinions on Crosby’s responses. Several fans commented on platforms like X, formerly known as Twitter, noting her tendency to “shout” her answers. One user asked, “Why is she shouting?” while another emphatically stated, “STOP SHOUTING CHARLOTTE!”

During the episode, Ranganathan even playfully addressed Crosby’s volume. “You know your mic is on, don’t you?” he asked, to which she responded with laughter, explaining that her excitement made her behave like a “seagull.” This unexpected comparison puzzled Ranganathan, leading to a light-hearted exchange between the two.

Despite the criticisms, not all reactions were negative. Some fans found Crosby’s energetic participation endearing, with one viewer tweeting, “Loving @CharlotteGShore on The Weakest Link. She’s frantically pressing the button. Hilarious.” Others praised her performance, noting, “Who knew Charlotte would be the best?”

The special episode featured a variety of celebrities, including Patsy Palmer from EastEnders, potter and designer Keith Brymer Jones, and Ian ‘H’ Watkins from the pop group Steps. Additional participants included comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri, First Dates’ Merlin Griffiths, comic and internet personality Bash the Entertainer, and social media star Luke Hamnett. Together, they aimed to win up to £50,000 for charity, highlighting both their competitive spirit and camaraderie.

Originally hosted by Anne Robinson from 2000 to 2012, The Weakest Link returned to screens in 2021 under the guidance of Ranganathan. The show continues to attract a diverse audience, balancing both nostalgia and contemporary entertainment.

As the episode concluded, fans were left with mixed feelings about Crosby’s exuberance. While some found her loudness disruptive, others celebrated her vibrant personality. Overall, the special edition of The Weakest Link proved to be a memorable way to ring in the New Year, leaving viewers entertained and eager for more.
