00:00It's time to answer questions, win some money
00:02and unleash the counter-dropping chaos of our mammoth machine.
00:05Can anyone win our $20,000 jackpot?
00:08I'm Todd Woodbridge. Let's find out on Tipping Point.
00:31Welcome to Tipping Point, where three contestants
00:33are ready to take on the machine.
00:35So, let's meet them.
00:36Hi, I'm Carolina. I live in Victoria.
00:39I'm recently retired, and I'm looking forward
00:41to the next journey in my life
00:43of travelling around this beautiful state of Victoria.
00:45Hi, I'm Kamal. I'm a business coach from Melbourne.
00:47And when I win the cash,
00:49I'm going on a snowboard trip to the Chilean Andes.
00:51And I'm Carly. I'm a DJ. I work in sustainability.
00:55And if I win, I'd love to go to Glastonbury.
00:57Thanks, everyone.
00:59A DJ that wants to go to Glastonbury gets a bit muddy.
01:02You've got your wellies to go with you?
01:03Yeah, I've already got them.
01:05Fantastic. And you have fancy nails.
01:07Can I have a look at those, please?
01:08There's a jackpot counter on the nail.
01:11Awesome. Well, good luck to you, Carly.
01:12Hopefully, you might get that trip to Glastonbury.
01:14But Kamal said that he is winning the cash.
01:17You want to go to the Andes, if you could do it.
01:19Have you been in that part of the world before?
01:20No, and the boys keep upping the ante
01:22with where the next snowboard trip is.
01:24And so, I'm going to go to the Andes.
01:26And I'm not sure where the next snowboard trip is.
01:28And so, it's very exciting.
01:29Well, you'll need the 20 grand to be able to make that happen.
01:31And there's something about a ring, too.
01:33Well, which one?
01:35My gorgeous partner, Claire, gave me the lion.
01:37And that's the lucky one today?
01:38Well, I don't know. Maybe that one is.
01:40Or maybe it's the handmade one from my daughter.
01:41We'll see.
01:42Very nice, indeed. Good luck to you, Kamal.
01:44Thank you, Todd.
01:45And, Caroline, a trip around Victoria.
01:47To do that, you need...
01:48A small camper van.
01:49Have you got your eye on one in particular?
01:51I've been looking.
01:52But there's 1,000 towns or more in Victoria.
01:54I've got all of them.
01:56So, if it's a tent, or if it's a caravan,
01:57or if it's a camper van, I'm doing it.
01:59And you've got a lucky ring with you, too, today.
02:01I have. My granddaughter, Nellie, bought this one for me.
02:04Lovely. It's sparkling.
02:05I call it my good luck ring.
02:06So, sorry, guys. This is...
02:08That's fantastic.
02:09I've already got this.
02:11She's hoping it works for you.
02:12Oh, you're toast.
02:13It's too early to be giving the finger.
02:15We need to move on and play round one, Bank Builder.
02:17Whoo!
02:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:23OK, so, Bank Builder, it's your chance to build some serious cash
02:26because every counter that comes over the tipping point
02:28is worth $100 that will be added into your bank.
02:32In this round, you'll each start with three counters.
02:34If you buzz in and answer correctly,
02:36you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine,
02:39or you can pass to one of your opponents
02:41and ask them to play one of their counters instead.
02:43If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds,
02:47we'll take one of your counters away.
02:49In the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
02:51Push one of those over and it will double the value of your drop,
02:54along with the two mystery counters, which hold great prizes,
02:56if you can push those over the tipping point.
02:59And if we're all ready, hands on buzzers,
03:01and here comes the first question.
03:03In the game Rock, Paper, Scissors,
03:04a clenched fist represents which...
03:07Kamal? Rock.
03:08..in which option it is a rock.
03:10So, you have a choice.
03:13Are you willing to risk that first counter,
03:15or perhaps you'd like Carolina and Carly to build a bit?
03:17I'm going to pass it over to Carolina.
03:21What's it going to be, Carolina?
03:23Well, Drop Zone 3 has the mystery prize.
03:26After that early. Light it up.
03:29Come on, machine.
03:32No macaroni.
03:35Come on. Down quick, down flat.
03:36Nice tight drop. Can you get something off early?
03:39Push, push, push, push. Oh!
03:42OK, you're only one. Here we go.
03:44She'll remember, Kamal.
03:46Here comes the second question.
03:48Which musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein
03:50shares its name with the US state?
03:53Carly? Chicago.
03:54No, it's Oklahoma.
03:56Oh!
03:57Got to take that counter away from you, Carly, unfortunately.
04:00OK. Moving on to the next question.
04:02In the TV series The Crown,
04:04Emma Corrin plays which British princess?
04:06Carly? Princess Diana.
04:08Correct. All right.
04:10Quick off the buzzer, can you be quick with some cash?
04:13I'm going to pass, cos that didn't even move.
04:15I'm going to even it out.
04:17You can take this one, Kamal.
04:19Thank you. Game on.
04:20Let's see what we've got here.
04:22I'm going to go for drop zone three. Thanks, Todd.
04:24Light it up.
04:29Oh, no!
04:30Nice spot for you.
04:31That's the perfect position, Kamal.
04:32That's what I didn't want to happen.
04:35Down they come.
04:36Oh!
04:37This could be some early money.
04:39Nudge, nudge, nudge. I don't think anything's going to drop.
04:41Oh!
04:42Sorry.
04:43That is awesome. We're ready to go.
04:45Yeah. Oh!
04:47Here it comes.
04:48Still in play?
04:49Oh, it's still in play.
04:50And we're gone.
04:51Oh!
04:52Well done.
04:53OK.
04:54There's a grey one that's all the way over,
04:56but two did come over the tipping point.
04:58So $200 goes into the machine.
05:01Put it into your bank, and you've got the lead.
05:05You all have two counters left to play.
05:07Here comes the next question for you.
05:09In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,
05:11what colour is the rabbit that Alice follows?
05:14Kamal?
05:15It is white.
05:16It is white, yes.
05:17Where would you like to play?
05:19I have to take three.
05:20Light it up again?
05:21Let's give it a go.
05:22OK.
05:25The vibration might just knock that over.
05:27Get the counter in first.
05:28OK.
05:29Now you're in play.
05:30It smashes down.
05:32It's louder than you think.
05:34It is.
05:35All right. Over the edge, over the edge.
05:37Over the edge.
05:39And we'll take that two.
05:40It'll be the mystery.
05:42Oh!
05:43APPLAUSE
05:44We're done.
05:45I thought you might get the mystery.
05:47Everything came from the right-hand side that time.
05:49Four more coming your way.
05:50So it's $400 that goes into the machine.
05:53Let's take it from there.
05:54Add it to the $200 from the previous drop.
05:55Thank you very much.
05:57You've got one counter left to play.
05:58$600 in the bank and a six-counter lead.
06:01Moving on.
06:02Australia's Botany Bay is an inlet of which ocean?
06:05Carly?
06:07Pacific Ocean.
06:08Yes. Carly from Sydney.
06:09I'm glad you knew that.
06:10Where would you like to drop, Carly?
06:11Yeah, we'll go three.
06:12Light it up.
06:13That's a good shot.
06:15It goes to the middle there.
06:16OK.
06:17Oh! Harder.
06:18OK, that's a good drop.
06:19I think that's good, Carly.
06:20Had you gone in the centre,
06:21you might have not got something off the top shelf, Carly.
06:24Oh!
06:25Rats.
06:26There's still nothing off the top shelf.
06:28It's OK.
06:29All right, Carly.
06:31You have one counter left to play.
06:32Got to get some money in the bank.
06:33Yeah.
06:35Kamal's got one in the lead with $600.
06:36Carolina, you have two.
06:37The next question is...
06:44Dead.
06:45Carolina?
06:46Seance.
06:47It is seance.
06:48Well done.
06:49APPLAUSE
06:50What are you going to do?
06:51I'm going to stick with three.
06:53All right, light up drop zone three for the fifth time.
07:00Come on, Carolina.
07:01That's about all right.
07:02Yeah.
07:03Come on, push, push.
07:05It's going to have to give you something lateral.
07:07Oh!
07:08Oh, yes!
07:09The double wide drop.
07:10Push, push, push, push, push, push!
07:12Oh!
07:13Oh, well done.
07:14It's a start.
07:15So you had two in the end come your way over the tipping point.
07:18So $200 gets you in the money.
07:21Move it into your bank.
07:22APPLAUSE
07:24And you are four counters behind Kamal.
07:26Oh!
07:27Everybody with one counter left to play.
07:29Carly, let's see if you can get in the game here.
07:31Yeah.
07:32Next question.
07:33An ophthalmologist specialises in which sensory organ?
07:36Carly?
07:37Eyes.
07:38It is eyes, yes.
07:39Carly, there's a lot there.
07:41Yeah.
07:42The clock is getting in quickly.
07:43Three.
07:44Three.
07:45We're going to go three.
07:46Light it up.
07:47DRAMATIC MUSIC
07:48WHOOSH
07:49WHOOSH
07:51WHOOSH
07:52WHOOSH
07:53Mystery counter is hiding underneath.
07:54Yes.
07:55Oh!
07:56It's flat.
07:57Is it flat?
07:58Yeah, it is.
08:00It almost went on top.
08:01This is the one, Carly.
08:02If you get this over, Carly, you could get a lot.
08:03This is great.
08:04Yeah, baby!
08:05Oh, it is.
08:06Come on, Carly.
08:07This should get you in the money.
08:08APPLAUSE
08:10APPLAUSE
08:11Woo!
08:13That's awesome.
08:14Oh, crap.
08:15Oh, my God.
08:16That's thrilling.
08:1747 counters.
08:18LAUGHTER
08:19That's the largest leaps we've seen on set.
08:21I can do higher.
08:23We get the jackpot later.
08:24It's a Carly.
08:25You got 13, including the mystery.
08:27APPLAUSE
08:28APPLAUSE
08:29That is so good.
08:30APPLAUSE
08:311,300 sitting in the machine.
08:34Your last counter.
08:35You've got the lead with $1,300.
08:36APPLAUSE
08:37APPLAUSE
08:38So good.
08:39You've got seven counters in front of Kamal,
08:41but you've also got the mystery,
08:43and you can immerse yourself in all your beloved shows
08:47with this 75-inch 4K QLED Google Smart TV
08:51and wall-mount package valued at 1,700.
08:54Thanks to Kogan.com.
08:56CHEERING
08:57APPLAUSE
08:58Nice work.
08:59We don't have a TV, so this is awesome.
09:02Oh, my God, we're getting a TV.
09:04How big is it?
09:05I don't know.
09:06That big?
09:07Yeah.
09:09Carly.
09:10You need to settle down.
09:11Yeah, I need to calm.
09:12You do need to sit out.
09:13Got yourself the lead.
09:14Karolina and Kamal both have a counter left to play.
09:17Kamal, you're seven behind.
09:19Karolina, you're 11 behind.
09:20Plenty of money still on the left-hand side.
09:22Here comes the second-last question.
09:24Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz play characters
09:27who swap houses over Christmas in which romantic comedy?
09:31Karolina?
09:32Trading Place?
09:33No, it's The Holiday.
09:34Ooh!
09:35Oh!
09:36Oh!
09:38Jumped in maybe where you didn't need to.
09:40But unfortunately, I've got to take that counter away.
09:43And at the end of your bank builder, you've got $200.
09:46Kamal, you have the final question.
09:48No reason to buzz in.
09:49OK.
09:50Three seconds to answer, and you must give me an answer,
09:52otherwise you lose your counter.
09:54Final question for you is,
09:55the text of the operettica aria Nessun Dorma
09:59was written in which European language?
10:02Italian.
10:03This is Italian.
10:04Yes.
10:05Time to find cash.
10:07Ah, let's go...
10:09I'm thinking two. Watch your eye light.
10:11Two?
10:12I'm getting twos and fours there.
10:14Well, I can tell you, we haven't played any other drop zone
10:17than drop zone three.
10:19I'll go two.
10:20Light up drop zone two.
10:23Just waiting for it to kiss the edge there.
10:28Good timing.
10:29Got it flat.
10:31Get behind that other black one.
10:33There we go.
10:34Ooh!
10:36It needs a bit more love.
10:37Next.
10:38A bit more love.
10:39We need a few more counters to be able to do that.
10:41At the end of our bank-builder round,
10:42Carolina, you've got $200, Kamal, $600,
10:44Carly in the lead with that great drop of $1,300.
10:49A couple of you are going to have to pick up the pace to chase Carly,
10:51and that's coming up next when we play Quickfire on Tipping Points.
11:06Welcome back to Tipping Point, everybody,
11:07where Carolina, Kamal and Carly are all battling it out
11:10for a place in the jackpot round.
11:12Of course, it's worth $20,000.
11:14We've got a really good game happening today,
11:16so let's keep it moving and play Quickfire.
11:23In Quickfire, you'll each have 30 seconds
11:25to answer as many questions as possible.
11:27For every correct answer,
11:28I give you a counter to play into the machine.
11:31Every counter is critical,
11:32Every counter is critical,
11:34because the player with the lowest score at the end of this round
11:36is going home.
11:38Now, Carly, you've got yourself in the lead.
11:40You can take the first question here, or you could pass it.
11:43Pass or play?
11:46Play?
11:48OK, whatever, we're playing.
11:49We're playing. Thanks.

12:40Whoa. There's a lot of numbers happening.
12:43What do you think?
12:45Two. Light-up top zone, two.
12:47We got there eventually.
12:49Sorry.
12:51Hmm.
12:52Ooh.
12:55Surely that shelf there's loaded.
12:57Now, do you go back there, Carly? That's the question.

13:41cos in the end you got five more over the tipping point.
13:43Yay!
13:44$500 goes up.
13:45Put it into your bank and you've got yourself
13:47and you've got yourself 1,800 and you've set the target.
13:51It's Amal and Carolina.
13:52So there's plenty of money sitting on the tipping point, Kamal.
13:55You are 12 behind. Are you going to play?
13:58Yeah, let's give it a go, Todd.

14:44of a 1976 Philip Glass opera?
14:47You said Einstein. How you got that, I don't know,
14:50but I couldn't give you the counter.
14:52Extraordinary. You've got yourself three counters to play, Kamal.
14:55OK. Three chances to find 12 to get tied with Carly.
14:59I'm going to go with two. Light up Job Zone 2.
15:01APPLAUSE
15:08And that big shelf, that big shelf's going to come straight over.
15:11Now, if you get something wide enough, you could get a very big drop.
15:17It's got to be loaded. You've got two more counters.
15:19You're going back.
15:21All right. Drop Zone 2.
15:22Light it up again for Kamal.
15:25Tell me we're still in play. That's not in play yet.
15:28You've got a counter to play. You're not in play, Kamal,
15:30so that drops. Now you're in play.
15:33It's flat.
15:35But that top of the...top shelf has cleared out a little bit again.
15:40Oh, nudge, nudge, nudge.
15:42All right. Zone 2. Back to 2. Back to 2.
15:44Light it up. Final counter.
15:47Oh, whose point's saying 1s? Am I missing something?
15:54All right. I don't think we want that, do we? What's going on?
15:56It's directly behind. Oh, yeah, we're good.
15:59But you need a big push. OK.
16:00There's a couple of inches there in front of it.
16:02Give it a nudge. Push, push, push.
16:05Oh!
16:0737 counters.
16:12Only three. For $300, it's coming your way.
16:15Thank you. It goes in the machine.
16:17We transfer it into your bank,
16:19and at the end of your quickfire, you've got yourself $900.
16:22All right.
16:24Carolina, this is the scenario for you.
16:26Seven counters you need to tie, Kamal.
16:28Eight would get you through. It's loaded.
16:30Are you ready to play? Yes.
16:3230 seconds is on the clock for you.

16:40East. Correct.

16:59Jaguar. Correct.

17:08Yeah.
17:10You've got three counters, and you're giving yourself
17:12the very best of chances here.
17:14Kamal, you might have to sweat it out a little.
17:16Carolina, you need seven counters to tie,
17:19eight to stay in it.
17:23Drop zone two, please.
17:25All right, drop zone two. You've got three counters.
17:30Seven to tie.
17:32My way.
17:35Stay there. Go flat.
17:37That's it. You can push over.
17:39Give me that mystery. That's very good.
17:41Yes! Here it comes.
17:43Push a little bit more.
17:45Oh!
17:47Yeah!
17:49Oh, my goodness!
17:51I'm so excited about that mystery.
17:53All you're excited about, Carolina, is the mystery.
17:56Yeah.
17:58The mere fact that you got ten and you've got yourself through
18:00is important, cos it's ten, including the mystery.
18:03Ten! Oh, my gosh!
18:06And this might go really nice in the van
18:08that you might be driving around Victoria,
18:10cos you can elevate your cooking game
18:12with this Duck Egg Blue cookware collection
18:14featuring three French-made, hand-crafted,
18:16cast-iron cookware pieces
18:18and a selection of kitchen utensils,
18:20and it's valued at over $2,000,
18:23thanks to Chasseur.
18:25Thank you so much.
18:27Todd, I can't tell you I love cooking,
18:29but it means I need some new pots.
18:31Oh, you got them, didn't you? Brilliant! Thank you!
18:33Fantastic. Not only that,
18:35you now find yourself six counters behind Carly,
18:38and you've got two counters to put in the machine.
18:40Oh!
18:42The jury has spoken.
18:44Drop zone four, please.
18:46Light it up. Light it up.
18:50Right about now.
18:52Let's go.
18:55Yep. Oh, that's OK. That's OK.
18:58Let's take it from there.
19:00Oh!
19:04Oh!
19:06That's a lot. You've got your last counter to play.
19:08Yes.
19:10Oh!
19:12Definitely. Definitely four?
19:14Yes. Light it up.
19:19Come on, machine.
19:21Be very kind to me, please.
19:23That's it.
19:25Keep pushing over.
19:27Just keep pushing. A little bit more.
19:29A little bit more.
19:33Come on, Carly.
19:35Get a bit of vibration in the machine.
19:37Bit of a bump.
19:39Oh, there it is!
19:43Oh!
19:45That was a late drop off the top shelf,
19:47but it's a pile-up on the tipping point.
19:49And, Carolina, no more money coming from that counter,
19:51but there is a...
19:53That does count.
19:55For the last push.
19:57I'm getting ready to transfer,
19:59but I've got to put another 100 up into the machine.
20:01So 1,100.
20:03Put it into your bank.
20:05And that is a great quick-fire round with 1,300.
20:09Five behind Carly with 1,800.
20:11And, Kamal, unfortunately for you,
20:13we've found your tipping point.
20:17I've never been so happy to go out there in these two.
20:19Make sure you get the jackpot, all right?
20:21Oh, thank you.
20:23Enjoy that trip when you get to the Andes.
20:25Can't wait.
20:27After the break, it'll be Carly and Carolina
20:29who will fight it out in our Head-to-Head round.
20:31Who'll go through?
20:33We'll find out next on Tipping Point.
20:45Welcome back to Tipping Point.
20:47Carolina and Carly caused some counter-dropping chaos
20:49in our quick-fire round.
20:51Now it's critical they confidently answer
20:53these questions correctly
20:55to conquer our cunning machine.
20:57Now, Carolina, how was that for a delivery?
20:59I think that was fantastic.
21:01Thank you very much.
21:03You're retired now. What was your job?
21:05I was patient services in aged care.
21:07Very important job.
21:09And now you want to get the motor home,
21:11travel around a little bit,
21:13and you've got a few friends and family with you here.
21:15Oh, my goodness, my lifetime friend Jane,
21:17my beautiful son-in-law, that's Kelvin,
21:19and Kim, who is a warrior woman
21:21and a best friend as well.
21:23Fantastic.
21:25Well, you're going to need that support
21:27because you're five counters behind.
21:29And, Carly, you want to go to Glastonbury
21:31part of the reason being that you're a DJ.
21:33Yeah.
21:35What's your DJ name?
21:37It's Taffy.
21:39Why?
21:41Because my grandfather was Samuel Taffy Hancock
21:43and he was a world champion boxer.
21:45You're head-to-head with Carolina.
21:47Yeah, we are.
21:51And in this round, you'll each be asked
21:53two questions answered correctly.
21:55You get the counter to play into the machine,
21:57get it wrong, and your opponent will steal that counter.
21:59If you're a little unsure,
22:01you can ask your opponent to play that question.
22:03Carly, you're in the lead.
22:05You have that decision to make whether to take it
22:07or tactically manoeuvre around here.
22:09I want to play.
22:11There we go.
22:13Answer right, Carly. Answer right.
22:15So here is the first one for you, Carly.
22:17The English name
22:19of which animal in the Chinese zodiac
22:21is the shortest?
22:23Pass or play? Play.
22:25Real quick. It's my birth year.
22:27The year of the ox.
22:29Carolina? I would have said rat.
22:31OK. Are you correct, Carly?
22:35Strong as an ox, Carly.
22:37For a moment, I was wondering
22:39if there's an animal with one letter.
22:41Don't think so.
22:43You got that one right. You got the counter to play.
22:45Where do you want to go?
22:47Four. I'm going to play four.
22:49Yeah, four.
22:51OK. Light up job zone four.
22:57This game is very tight.
22:59It's only five counter difference.
23:01You're going to need to separate yourself, Carly.
23:05And that's not going to help.
23:07Everything sitting up on the top shelf
23:09may be ready to come over
23:11for you, Carolina.
23:13You've got the question.
23:15You sit on a throne of lies
23:17is a famous quote
23:19from what Christmas movie?
23:21Pass or play?
23:25Well, I've got something in my mind,
23:27but I'm not positive.
23:29Are you prepared to play that or not?
23:31I might pass it to you, darling.
23:33And I think you might know, but I just don't.
23:35I'm not confident. I'll pass it.
23:39I can't think of one Christmas movie.
23:45Bad Santa.
23:47That sounds like a Bad Santa line, doesn't it?
23:49Yeah.
23:51Is it Bad Santa?
23:53It's Elf.
23:55Oh, I love that movie.
23:57You should have listened a little more, Carly.
23:59I'm not great at listening.
24:01Carolina, you've got your chance.
24:03Five counters to tie.
24:05OK.
24:07And light up drop zone four, please, Todd.
24:09Will do. Light it up.
24:11Hoping that cascades
24:13over the edge.
24:21Come on, give a little bit of
24:23energy to it, please, please,
24:25please.
24:29Wow.
24:31Two counters in,
24:33nothing coming out. Carly,
24:35you've maintained your lead of five
24:37counters. We'll be back after the break
24:39to see who plays for the jackpot
24:41worth $20,000. It's all coming up next
24:43on Tipping Point.
24:57Welcome back to Tipping Point,
24:59where Carly wants a trip to Glastonbury
25:01and Carolina's looking for money for the motorhome
25:03to go around Victoria. It's tight.
25:05Only five counters separating
25:07the two of you as you go head to head.
25:09And, Carly, you have the next question coming
25:11your way.
25:13In 2001, which Australian rugby
25:15league legend infamously resigned
25:17mid-speech
25:19whilst announcing his intent to
25:21run for Parliament?
25:23Pass or play? For Parliament?
25:25Mm. I can't even think
25:27of one football man.
25:29Do you know about footy?
25:33What, are you two going to have a negotiation
25:35before you decide who's going to answer?
25:37Tell me. I'm from Victoria.
25:39You're from New South Wales. Work that one out.
25:41I can't even think of a man.
25:45What? First it was football.
25:47Now you can't even think of a man.
25:49I've gone...
25:51OK.
25:53You go. I just thought of a man
25:55but it's probably wrong.
25:57It's probably wrong.
25:59Wally
26:01Walburg, Walbanger,
26:03whatever. I actually have no...
26:05OK, here we go.
26:07Can I tell you what I was going to say? You can.
26:09I was going to say Fooey Fooey Moey Moey
26:11because that was the first name that came to my head
26:13but I know it's not right.
26:15But now I'm thinking it might be
26:17Wally Lewis.
26:19I'm just going to find out
26:21and then we can discuss amongst ourselves.
26:23Is it Wally Walburg
26:25Walbanger?
26:29No!
26:31What?
26:33It's Mel Meninger.
26:35Mel Meninger. At least we both
26:37got it together.
26:39We've got this.
26:41Who's got
26:43the counter?
26:45Is it me?
26:47It's you.
26:49Yes.
26:51Where are we putting it Carly? You've got five counter lead.
26:53We're going four.
26:55Four. Drop zone four.
26:57I'm going to use the golden finger.
26:59Light her up.
27:07Not bad.
27:09The jackpot counter finger now
27:11might be the difference here.
27:13No!
27:15They've got two counters at the same time.
27:17That's messed up.
27:19I agree.
27:21All of that
27:23for that.
27:25Carly, Carolina you've got the final
27:27question and there has been no
27:29money exchanged hands as yet.
27:31Am I allowed to choose the type of question?
27:33Is that at all possible?
27:35Between the two of you you're going to wear me out.
27:39Here you go Carolina.
27:41Only five counters separating the
27:43two of you. Final question of Head to Head
27:45is this for you.
27:47The Big Honey Hunt was the first
27:49in a popular series of books
27:51by Stan and Jan
27:53about a family of what animals?
27:55There's only one animal
27:57I know it could possibly be.
27:59You can pass or play though remember.
28:01I can't pass. I've got to say bears.
28:03Alright. Carolina.
28:05Please. Is it bears?
28:07I think it is.
28:11It's the Berenstain Bears.
28:17A big big series of American
28:19children's books.
28:21Well done to you. Carly
28:23you're going to have to sweat this out because Carolina
28:25has the counter.
28:29Five to tie. Six.
28:31Six gets you through.
28:33Light it up.
28:41Five gets you a tie.
28:47Tell you what it's going to be tight here.
28:49It's going to be close.
28:53Oh my god lady.
29:05Well done. Carolina
29:07you needed five.
29:09You have smashed your way through with a
29:11cascade of counters over the tipping
29:13point. Thirteen in total.
29:19Let's take the thirteen hundred
29:21out of the machine. Add it to what
29:23you already have. And you're getting quite
29:25emotional because you're through.
29:27Two thousand six hundred. I am Todd.
29:29It's been a very difficult few years.
29:31Well we've got a lot more to play out.
29:33At the end of head to head, what a round.
29:35We've had fun, we've had laughter
29:37and now we've got a few tears. But Carly with
29:39one thousand eight hundred we've found your tipping
29:41point. Enjoy your TV Carly.
29:43And Carolina this is what you're
29:45playing for. It is the jackpot.
29:47It is worth twenty thousand dollars.
29:49You've got the luck of Carly with you.
29:51We all want you to master the machine
29:53when we come back after the break. Stay with us
29:55on Tipping Point. It's going to be a
29:57ripper.
30:11Welcome back to Tipping Point. It's been quite a show this
30:13one and it was Carolina that found her way through
30:15to the final here.
30:17Two thousand six hundred is in your
30:19bank and that chance to play for
30:21the twenty thousand dollar jackpot.
30:23That's a lot of money.
30:25Now we want this money to go to the motorhome.
30:27You yourself said it's been a tough
30:29little period for you. How much would that money
30:31mean if we could get you some
30:33of those big dollars today?
30:35When people say money is life changing that
30:37would be for me. I could leave the
30:39rental that I'm in now and I could
30:41buy a little motorhome and I could come and see
30:43my grandchildren whenever
30:45and be in my own space. That would be lovely.
30:47Can I quickly say their names? Go for it.
30:49Okay, I'm going to start. Ashley Rose,
30:51Sophia Grace, Nellie,
30:53Rory, Lockie,
30:55Frankie and Georgie.
30:57You know what? Every one of them wants you
30:59to win the jackpot like we do here
31:01in the audience and everybody at home. Let's make
31:03it happen. We're going to play the jackpot round.
31:09Alright Carolina, time to put
31:11the jackpot counter into the machine
31:13and if you can push it back out, you'll be taking
31:15home the money. Where would you like to place it?
31:19Drop some one please.
31:21Alright, one it is. And a good
31:23choice. The double's sitting in there.
31:25If he goes with that
31:27it's going to be $40,000.
31:29I'm just going to wait and give it a little
31:31kiss on the cheek.
31:35Yes, that's a
31:37beautiful spot. Like it there? I want it
31:39to be flat and if so, I am
31:41thrilled with it. Yes!
31:43Yes!
31:45Every counter that
31:47comes over the tipping point, worth another $100
31:49to build your bank.
31:51And this will build a little more I would think.
31:53Yep.
31:57To get us started on this jackpot journey,
31:59we're going to put $200 into the machine.
32:01$2,800 is sitting up there.
32:03Jackpot counter's down flat.
32:05So let's have a look at the categories you're playing
32:07Carolina, they are
32:09Astronomy, Music, TV
32:11Shows, London and
32:13Golf. The more counters that you
32:15choose to play, you can choose one, two or three.
32:17The harder the question's going to be.
32:19Where would you like to start? Well I'm going to
32:21go top to bottom. So Astronomy
32:23then? Yes, and I'm
32:25going to go for three because I know I need
32:27a bit of luck.
32:29Alright Carolina, we wish you
32:31the very best of luck. Here comes your
32:33first question.
32:35Named for a Roman goddess
32:37of agriculture, which dwarf planet
32:39is closest to the sun?
32:41Pluto,
32:43Ceres or Eris?
32:45Dwarf planet?
32:47I'm going to go Ceres please.
32:49Let's light up Ceres.
32:53Is Ceres the dwarf planet
32:55closest to the sun?
32:57Oh yes!
32:59Well played.
33:01Well played.
33:03Okay, let's get
33:05the journey started. Shall I light up drop
33:07zone one? Yeah, drop zone one
33:09please Todd. Okay, lighter up.
33:11Keep that good timing on the drops.
33:13Yep, yep.
33:17Beautiful,
33:19beautiful.
33:21It's beautiful. Come on, push it hard.
33:23Push, push, push. Come on,
33:25that's okay. You can just stay
33:27there for a minute. Alright. I'm going to give you
33:29another counter and then you're going to push
33:31a few over for me. Let's negotiate
33:33with that machine. I'll light it up for you.
33:45Alright, that's going to slide. It'll push
33:47a little. Push just a nudge.
33:49A bit more. We're pretty loaded
33:51up there. One to go. We need a direct
33:53hit. Light her up please.
33:55Come on.
34:01We've got
34:03some money over the tipping point. We'll count it
34:05in a moment. We'll get you to put the counter in
34:07the time you drop. See if we can get
34:09it behind that jackpot.
34:15That's okay, that's lovely. Push, push.
34:21Here comes some money.
34:25A bit of jostling for position
34:27by all of the counters in there.
34:29We got four over the tipping point, so it's $400
34:31that we add into your bank.
34:33$3,200, but we
34:35need to still get this moving, so let's go
34:37back to categories. Did you say you were going to
34:39play top to bottom? Yes. So music then?
34:41How many? Now that is a weak spot
34:43for me. I don't really know much about that, but
34:45three. Yeah, good. I was going to say
34:47if you don't know,
34:49it's still multiple choice.
34:51Yes. In
34:532022, who embarked on the
34:55Got Back music tour?
34:57Was it the Backstreet
34:59Boys, Paul McCartney
35:01or Sir Mix-A-Lot?
35:03I think I'd know it if it were
35:05Sir Paul McCartney, so
35:07I don't think it's that.
35:09It is a guess. I just
35:11have to say Backstreet Boys. I really don't know.
35:13So I light up Backstreet Boys.
35:17Was it the Backstreet Boys that embarked on
35:19the Got Back music tour in 2022?
35:23No, you're not.
35:25It was Paul McCartney.
35:27Never mind. We've got more to play.
35:29Our next category is
35:31TV shows. Yes.
35:33Are we playing another three there? Yes, we are.
35:35Alright.
35:39In what long-running TV
35:41series does Larry David star
35:43as a fictionalised version of
35:45himself? Is it
35:47Curb Your Enthusiasm,
35:49Community or Veep?
35:51I don't watch a lot of TV.
35:53Only tipping point.
35:55Interesting things I do.
35:59A long-running TV series.
36:01Can you tell me what station it's on at all, Adelaide?
36:05No, but I can tell you that you've just got $300 more
36:07coming your way.
36:11Randomly, from over in Drop Zone 3.
36:13So let's make it $3,500.
36:17Is it Curb Your Enthusiasm,
36:19Community or Veep?
36:21I'm going to go with
36:23Curb Your Enthusiasm.
36:25Should I light that up then? Yes, please, Todd.
36:27Okay. Light up Curb Your Enthusiasm.
36:29Let's hope that's the
36:31correct answer.
36:41One out of three,
36:43and you chose the right one.
36:45Right, let's get this thing. Let's go.
36:47We need a direct cut.
36:49Drop Zone 1.
36:53Now.
36:55Let's get on the move.
36:57Come on, Jackpot.
36:59It's alright. Push that over.
37:01Get over that double.
37:03Oh, it's a righter.
37:05Not going to matter because it's on that side.
37:07Yes.
37:09It might build up a bit of weight that keeps everything going that way.
37:11Yep, that's alright.
37:13We can get some lateral, maybe.
37:15That's the plan. Let's put the second counter in.
37:19Lay.
37:23Right, right, right, close.
37:25Yep. There's that weight.
37:27Let's hope it nudges that way.
37:29Come on, push it, push it, push it. There you go.
37:31That's it, that's it.
37:33That weight helped get a little bit going.
37:35It did.
37:37Go over the tipping point as well.
37:39So $200 gives you $3,700.
37:41You've got a final counter to play.
37:43Again.
37:45There was another T.
37:47So let's put it up there and you've got a flat $4,000.
37:49Wonderful, thank you.
37:51We want that jackpot down underneath there.
37:53Jackpot, I think if you could get a little lateral there
37:55just to the right, we can get it down.
37:57So lighter up.
37:59Ready.
38:01Come on now.
38:05Right there, that's where I said.
38:07Come on, push it hard now, push it hard.
38:09Push it, push it.
38:11Come on, come on.
38:21Let me tell you, you've got another $7 over the tipping point
38:23just then for $4,700.
38:25We're out of counters though.
38:27We're one nudge to getting it on the bottom shelf.
38:29That is the goal.
38:31Let's go back to categories.
38:33Two left to play. London is next.
38:35Three, please. Good.
38:37Come on now.
38:39London for three.
38:41What street in London
38:43is renowned for its bespoke men's tailors?
38:45You're nodding to me, I haven't given you the options.
38:47Is it Savile Row,
38:49Brick Lane or Fleet Street?
38:51One thing I do know about is fashion.
38:53Uh-huh.
38:55So my answer is going to be Savile Row.
38:57Okay, Caroline, I'm going to light up Savile Row
38:59and I'm going to make you wait just a little bit longer
39:01as well and we'll find out
39:03in just a moment if you're one step closer
39:05to the $20,000 jackpot.
39:07Fingers crossed.
39:21Welcome back to Tipping Point.
39:23Caroline is our winner, currently with $4,700.
39:25That's a nice number
39:27but we're positioning really well.
39:29And before we went to the break,
39:31the suspense was killing us.
39:33The question for you was,
39:35what street in London is renowned
39:37for its bespoke men's tailors?
39:39And you said light up Savile Row.
39:41That's going to give us three more counters, isn't it?
39:43Of course it is.
39:49Let's light her up, drop zone one.
39:59All good.
40:01A bit too far over.
40:03Wow.
40:05We need a nudge. Light her up again.
40:07Second counter. Come on.
40:19Get flat.
40:21Get flat.
40:23Okay.
40:25Is that flat? It's flat.
40:27We need it to kind of push a little bit to its left.
40:29There's two silver counters
40:31and two silver counters can help.
40:33Gosh.
40:35Come on now. Let's get it down.
40:37Last one for this category. Light her up.
40:47One's come on down.
40:49Towards the middle.
40:51Behind those silver buttons.
40:53Beautiful job.
40:55Go right.
40:57Push.
41:01Money.
41:05Three over the tipping point.
41:07$5,000 you're at now.
41:11We just need a good nudge
41:13and it's over the top.
41:15We've got our final category to play.
41:17We're going to need them and it's golf.
41:19Three counters. You desperately need them.
41:21Three counters, please, Tom.
41:23All in.
41:25Here's the question.
41:27We need the counters.
41:29For the lowest elevation golf course on Earth,
41:31Furnace Creek
41:33is in what famous valley?
41:37Death Valley, Silicon Valley
41:39or Wandan Valley?
41:41Wandan Valley, no.
41:43Let's knock that out.
41:45Let's just choose Death Valley.
41:47How about that?
41:49Light up Death Valley.
41:53We'll find out if Furnace Creek
41:55is in Death Valley.
41:59Yes!
42:05Well done.
42:09How is the family doing?
42:11Kelvin, what do you say to your mother-in-law?
42:13She's done amazing.
42:15Really proud. Whatever happens here,
42:17she's done really well.
42:21Light up one.
42:23Yes, I think you better do that.
42:25Let's do it.
42:29Light.
42:31In the middle.
42:33Oh, no, that'll go too soon.
42:35Oh, my gosh.
42:39It's got a push, though.
42:41Come on, give us the nudge.
42:43It can push.
42:45Nudge it, nudge it.
42:49Oh, my.
42:51Money.
42:532,500.
42:55Come on, we've got to get it off.
42:57I'll go and kick it in a minute if it doesn't do the right thing.
42:59You know that little counter with the star on it?
43:01That's the one we want.
43:03You heard Caroline. Light it up.
43:05That time she stepped up.
43:07Middle.
43:11That's it.
43:13That's pretty good.
43:15Okay, that's going to get it over.
43:17It's got to get it over.
43:19That's beautiful.
43:21Beautiful.
43:23Come on, push, push, push.
43:25Push it, push it.
43:31Oh, my goodness.
43:33All right, we've got one chance
43:35to get it down on the flat.
43:37Then we can do something a little special.
43:39Light it up, drop zone one.
43:41Come on, everyone, get it down there.
43:49Yes.
43:51Yes.
43:53Yes.
43:55Come on.
44:01Okay, we've got it down,
44:03and you've got three over the tipping point as well, Caroline.
44:05Your grand total at the end of the jackpot round
44:07is $5,500.
44:13But it's not over yet.
44:15I'm going to see what I can conjure up for you
44:17that might entice you
44:19to play our jackpot temptation.
44:23Yes.
44:25So, $5,500
44:27is yours to take home.
44:29But I've got something
44:31that I'd like to put on the table for you today.
44:33Before you do, Todd...
44:35Yeah?
44:37Do you know I'm a master negotiator?
44:39No.
44:41Did I mention that?
44:43I negotiate with three-year-olds having tantrums.
44:45Well, I've got a question for you
44:47in this negotiation.
44:49How much approximately
44:51would the motorhome you're after
44:53be worth?
44:55Around about the $22,000 to $25,000.
44:57I thought it'd be a little bit more than that.
44:59So I'm going to up the ante
45:01a little bit for you
45:03so you could upgrade a little bit.
45:05I'm going to give you
45:07one offer.
45:09Are you ready for it?
45:11I'm holding on.
45:13Five counters for $50,000.
45:17While you contemplate
45:19whether it's worth taking the risk,
45:21we're going to the newsroom.
45:23Carolina, before we went to the newsroom,
45:25I gave you an offer.
45:27Five counters.
45:29The jackpot would be worth $50,000.
45:31You've got $5,500.
45:33It's yours. You'd have to give that up.
45:35Maybe have a little bit of a chat.
45:39Take the $5,500.
45:41Take the $5,500.
45:45I came in with nothing
45:47and I'm really appreciative
45:49to have that money
45:51because I can buy something a little bit lesser
45:53and still achieve my dreams.
45:55Congratulations.
45:57It's been a beautiful show,
45:59having you on.
46:01Well done to you.
46:03We've had a wonderful day here.
46:05Don't forget, you've got $5,500
46:07and the cookware.
46:09It's been wonderful having you on the show.
46:11Thanks for all of you guys, our audience,
46:13and to you at home.
46:15Keep receiving points.
