Heikoin lenkki
Finnish game show
Heikoin lenkki is the Finnish version of the international franchise The Weakest Link, which debuted on BBC Two in August 2000. It was hosted by journalist Kirsi Salo. It premiered in 2002, but after three years, the show was axed due to the host's pregnancy. It was shown on the MTV3 network on Fridays at 8:35 pm.
The show was brought back in 2017 with new host Riku Nieminen.
Originally, nine contestants played for a prize of €15,000, but that was changed to eight players competing for €18,000.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Heikoin lenkki” is finnish game show. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Heikoin, lenkki and Finnish, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “finnish game show” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16842734. The first chronological checks are 2000, 2002 and 2017.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
