No you didn't imagine. The 20 year old student you saw on BBC1's The Weakest Link last night WAS PKMN.NET's very own Psythor!

This isn't the audience for Question Time is it?

We all watched in excitement. 100% of his questions answered correctly in the first round. 1/1! Psythor quickly progressed through the rounds, even being named strongest link at one stage!

Nobody told Nigel that "James" is merely an alias.

Highlights included Anne Robinson stating the internet must be uncomfortable with Psythor sat on it, and Psythor revealing in three years at University he has learnt that "some countries like each other and some hate each other".

Psythor demonstrating just one of his full range of facial expressions.

Yet despite being Weakest Link in the last 3 rounds...

... he emerged victorious!

We're just as surprised as you.

Congratulations James, we're really proud of you. Ish.
