Nine revealed at today’s 2022 upfronts that the show would return later this year, featuring Australian celebrities and reality contestants competing for a jackpot of $250,000. Magda will host the celebrity specials.
Weakest Link Block Special
Tuesday 5 October at 8 40pm
Into the schedule as a replacement for the delayed Love Island.
If this was originally meant to air after the Block final, you’d hope there isn’t any spoilers.
Like what? The auction hasn’t happened yet. What spoilers could there be?
Idk Mitch and Mark could say something. I’m sure there won’t be, but it might have been edited for a later release, but again I don’t think there would be.

Stars of The Block battle it out on Weakest Link
Tuesday, October 5, at 8.40pm on Channel 9 and 9Now
Television’s most cutthroat quiz show returns for a very special episode when the stars of The Block go head to head on Weakest Link this Tuesday, October 5, at 8.40pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Comedian and actress Magda Szubanski is back as host of the smash-hit quiz which returned to Australian TV screens earlier this year after a 19-year absence.
Lining up to put their knowledge to the test are eight famous faces from The Block, the No.1 entertainment program on television at the moment: judges Shaynna Blaze, Neale Whitaker and Darren Palmer; foreman Keith Schleiger; and fan favourites Mitch and Mark and Alisa and Lysandra.
Quizmaster Magda will put them through their paces as they compete, backstab and embarrass themselves in the hope of winning a huge cash jackpot of up to $250,000 for their chosen charity.
Our Block players must work together to bank the maximum amount of prizemoney available. They will take turns to answer general knowledge questions and build chains of correct answers. Consecutive correct answers greatly increase the value of the chain, while incorrect answers break the chain and force them to start over on the lowest rung, with the least amount of money.
At the end of each round, contestants vote to eliminate the one they consider to be the weakest link in the chain. The one who receives the highest number of votes then leaves the game as Magda delivers the killer line: “You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye!”
I enjoyed the special, I had a good laugh.
The voting was predictable to say the least.
The special was good fun. What other celebrity specials do they have coming up?
It definitely was good fun thought I felt Magda was a bit more OTT than usual.
They’ve got a few more with just ‘celebrities’ and also one with the winners of this season.
They should just have specials from time to time instead of a full season.
Would it really be worth renewing The Weakest Link just for the sake of a few one-off specials?
If this show is to return for 2022, I personally think it needs…
1: The 7.30pm timeslot.
2: A different host.
Another season of regular TWL like the one we got earlier this year will probably be smashed in the ratings by niche ABC-TV programs again!
I think Magda has been a great host.
Much better than Cornelia Frances - Magda mixes in good humour with the harder edged stuff.
