At the beginning, I gave everyone a piece of paper (mine were shaped as candles). These are for them to cast their votes on. I just let them know that after each round, they would cross off the name, so that they could use it in the next round. My original idea was to have the papers laminated, and they would use a wipe-off crayon, or white board marker, so that they could wipe off the previous votes. Also, make sure all your guests have name tags, just in case you don't know them all personally, or have a bad memory like me! LOL!

I gave them 90 seconds per round, and then threw out the questions. Make sure to tell them to listen well, because some of the questions might be repeated!

At the end of the 90 seconds, they vote off the weakest link. When there are 2 players left, I do a "best out of 3 " round. They each get 3 questions, and the best score is the winner.

While they are voting, between rounds, I would throw out an insult or two.

It was real fun because I wore my "librarian" glasses, and tried to use my best British accent.
