00:00One of these contestants could walk away with our $20,000 jackpot,
00:03but to do that, they'll have to conquer this magnificent machine.
00:07Who'll claim the cash? I'm Todd Woodbridge.
00:09Let's find out on Tipping Point.
00:11Welcome to Tipping Point, where three contestants are ready to take on the machine, so let's
00:35meet them.
00:36G'day, my name's Max.
00:37I'm from Upway.
00:38I'm a fire technician, and I once won a competition for eating a two-kilo burger and 700 grams
00:44of chips.
00:45Hi, I'm Helen from Thornbury, Victoria.
00:47I'm a personal trainer.
00:48I've been one for 25 years, and if I win, I'm heading off to Tomorrowland Festival in
00:53Belgium.
00:54Hi, I'm Peter, and I'm from Canberra, and I'm semi-retired, and I spend a lot of my
01:01time talking to the magpies on my back porch.
01:07Hi, Peter.
01:08What do you talk about?
01:09Life.
01:10And do you have a language you speak with them?
01:11It's a special language we speak together.
01:12Okay.
01:13I feel like I'm going to have to delve a little deeper as the show goes on today.
01:14Maybe.
01:15Helen, what's the name of the land?
01:16Tomorrowland.
01:17It's a huge music festival over about three weeks, and it's very, very expensive to go
01:18to.
01:19Right.
01:20It's a long trip, Helen.
01:21We'd go probably for one weekend, and then head back to Canberra, and then we'd go to
01:22the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then
01:23we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival,
01:24and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go
01:25to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then
01:26we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival,
01:27and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go
01:28to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then
01:29we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival,
01:30and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go
01:31to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then
01:32we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival,
01:33and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go
01:34to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then
01:35we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival,
01:36and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go
01:37to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then
01:38we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival,
01:39and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go
01:40to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival, and then we'd go to the festival,
01:58All right, in Bank Builder, it's your chance to make some serious cash, because every counter
02:08that you push over the tipping point will put $100 into your bank.
02:11And in this round, you'll each start with three counters.
02:14Buzz in and give me a correct answer.
02:16You can choose to play one of your counters into the machine, or you can pass and ask
02:20one of your opponents to play one of their counters instead.
02:23Now, if you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds, I have to take a counter
02:28away.
02:29And in the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
02:31Push those over to double the value of your drop, along with the two mystery counters
02:35that are hidden on the bottom shelf.
02:37Push those over to find out what prizes they hold.
02:40Put hands on buzzers, and here comes your first question.
02:43Which popular nursery rhyme has the second line, how I wonder what you are?
02:48Max.
02:49Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
02:50Yeah, it is, Max.
02:51For a bit of a musician, right up your alley.
02:54Nice one, Max.
02:55What instrument is it that you play?
02:56I play bass.
02:57Bass.
02:58You ever play that on the bass?
02:59Oh, you could try.
03:00Yeah, you could try.
03:01Slap it.
03:02Slap it.
03:03Early.
03:04We're going good early here, Max.
03:05When do you want to play?
03:06If you want to play, by the way.
03:07Yeah, I'll play.
03:08I think I'm going to go for drop zone one.
03:11Right up drop zone one.
03:12First drop of the day.
03:13Can Max make some money?
03:14There she goes.
03:24That's lined up nicely to get something to push off the top, Max.
03:27A little something something.
03:28Yeah.
03:29Something something.
03:30A little something.
03:31Oh, good start.
03:32Yeah.
03:33Oh, baby.
03:34Got something off the top shelf.
03:39Rare to not get something off the bottom with that first one.
03:42Unlucky, Max.
03:43All good.
03:44Oh, it's T-hairs.
03:47It's flapping there.
03:48One of the black ones.
03:49She's a flapper.
03:50All right.
03:51Out of play, Max.
03:52We're going to slap that bass with the flapper.
03:57She's got a slapping flapper, Todd.
04:01Early, early, too.
04:06Here comes our second question.
04:08On a standard UK monopoly board, Fanchurch Street and Kings Cross are what transport
04:12hub?
04:13Train station. Yes, they are.
04:16Well, unfortunately, we've had an ambient drop there.
04:18What we do is we take those counters out of the machine,
04:20they're void, and we continue to move on with the rest of the game.
04:23So, Helen, would you like to play your first counter?
04:26I'm playing. And where are you going to go?
04:28Number three. Right up top zone three for Helen.
04:31She's moving across the right.
04:33All right. Bear with me. I will.
04:36Timing. Timing is everything.
04:39Nice.
04:41Ooh. Down she goes.
04:43That's well-positioned, too. Good one.
04:45No, it's slipping to the right.
04:47And nothing.
04:49Ooh, OK.
04:51Two counters in, no money out.
04:53Max and Helen, two counters, but he's still got all three.
04:56Here comes the next question.
05:02Helen? Knee.
05:04It is on the knee, yes.
05:06OK.
05:08I'd like to keep going with drop zone three, please.
05:12OK. Light up three again.
05:14And just timing it.
05:16And...there.
05:18Nice.
05:20Let's see. Ooh!
05:22Ooh, good one. That's almost flung into two.
05:24Let's see.
05:26Ooh, that's good.
05:28Yep, there you go.
05:30Might get the mystery.
05:33What? Woo-hoo!
05:35Yay!
05:37You might get another bump here.
05:39Yeah! No.
05:41You might wait a moment. You might get another drop.
05:43One more go. Oh, no.
05:45Is that still...? It's still in play.
05:47It's your last push. You're kidding!
05:49Yeah! Woo-hoo!
05:51Nice. And you got some more over.
05:53Started with one, another three.
05:55Four in total goes into the machine.
05:57Well played. We'll take it from there.
05:59Put that into your bank.
06:01And that's money of the day for Camel Eats.
06:05One count on that for you to play, Helen,
06:07as we go to the next question.
06:15Max? Artificial intelligence.
06:17It does, Max. Well done.
06:21I feel like Helen's built up three a bit,
06:23so I might go for three. Light it up.
06:27I'm just going to time it like Helen does as well.
06:29Yeah. And back!
06:31Bam!
06:35Nice one, Max. Happy with it, Max?
06:37Yeah.
06:41Yep. This could be wide push, Max.
06:47Oh, wow!
06:51Half a dozen for you, Max.
06:53That's 600.
06:55It goes up, it comes back out,
06:57and it puts you in the lead when we put it in the bank
06:59by two counters over Helen.
07:01One counter for you both left to play.
07:03Peter?
07:05Time to get in the game. I'll get there.
07:07Chatting to the magpies.
07:09Maybe that's what I'm doing.
07:11Here's the next question.
07:19Oh, my God, I've gone blank.
07:23Copenhagen. Yes, you got it,
07:25Pete, unfortunately, Peter.
07:27We've got to take the counter away.
07:29Don't go blank on us. No.
07:31No. It's bad.
07:33You've still got one more than us, so...
07:35Two counters left for you to play, though.
07:37Next question.
07:45Max? Bill Clinton.
07:47Yes, that's right. Well done.
07:49Nice work, Max.
07:51Going to use the last counter, Max?
07:53I'm going to play it. Let's go four.
07:55Light up four.
07:59Just bear with me here, Toddy. I will.
08:01Take your time. Oh, I am. Timing is essential.
08:03And crucial.
08:07With the sound effects, too, makes it very effective.
08:09Definitely.
08:11Come on, baby.
08:13Hell, yeah.
08:15First time we've played there, too.
08:19And first money ever.
08:21Nice stuff, Max.
08:23He's got the knack. He's got the knack,
08:25and he's got himself another 500 bucks, Helen.
08:27Let's put it up into the machine.
08:29Take it from there.
08:31And, Max, you can sit back with
08:331,100. Excellent.
08:35So that leaves Helen and Peter to
08:37play out the rest of the round.
08:39Helen with the counter, Peter with two.
08:41Helen, you're chasing Max. Seven behind you are.
08:43Here's the next question.
08:51Luke Skywalker. It is indeed.
08:59Okay, get yourself in the game, Peter.
09:01Where's it going to be?
09:03Number three. Light up three.
09:05Game three.
09:07Got to go for the mystery. Yeah.
09:11Oh, that's nice.
09:13Could be.
09:15Could be.
09:19Peter.
09:21I don't know what to tell you.
09:23Have a word to those magpies.
09:25All right. One counter left to play.
09:27You're not too far behind, Helen. Only four behind.
09:29The question is,
09:31the name of which New York City borough
09:33is also the plural form for a female
09:35sovereign? Peter.
09:37Queens. That's correct. Well done, Peter.
09:39Surely it's ready to pay.
09:41Oh, we don't want that
09:43because that could knock them off.
09:47That's an ambient drop of three
09:49before you've got your counter into the machine, Peter.
09:51So we're going to clear that.
09:53They're out of play, and now you're going to have to
09:55study the board just a little bit more
09:57about where you want to find something.
09:59What do you think, audience?
10:03No, I'll stick at number three.
10:05Number three? You sure?
10:07Yeah, I'll stick at number three. Light it up.
10:09Left-hand side's a bit bare on the...
10:11Yeah, right there, it's a bit bare
10:13if you can push something over.
10:15It's got to be a big push.
10:17Oh, you've got it.
10:19There you go.
10:21Well played. Come on.
10:23Oh, one down.
10:25The good news is
10:27you've at least got one.
10:29They've put the hundred up, and then we can take it back out,
10:31and at the end of your bank build-around, Peter,
10:33$100 is what you've got.
10:35All right.
10:37So, Helen, you've got the last question.
10:39Don't need to buzz in.
10:41Do need to give me an answer in three seconds.
10:43And here's your question.
10:45The word biped means an animal
10:47with how many feet?
10:49Two. Correct.
10:51Well done, Helen.
10:53What are you thinking?
10:55I'm going to go four. Number four.
10:57OK. Yeah.
10:59Light up job zone four.
11:01So...
11:03We haven't tried four yet, have we?
11:05Yeah, this is the second counter that's gone in.
11:07The second time. OK.
11:09If you can get a bit of a lateral push there.
11:11Bit of a nudge.
11:13Like that.
11:15This might get a lateral into drop zone three as well.
11:17Go, go, go!
11:19Just moved in on a round
11:21and not much else happened for you.
11:23Big build-up.
11:25Well, that was an interesting round. Plenty going on,
11:27and I think plenty more to come.
11:29And at the end of bank build-around, Max with $1,100,
11:31Helen with $400.
11:33You're going to have to pick up your pace
11:35because we're playing Quickfire,
11:37and that's coming next on Tipping Point.
11:51Welcome back to Tipping Point,
11:53where Max, Helen and Peter are battling it out
11:55for our chance to play for the $20,000 jackpot.
11:57Let's keep the game moving.
11:59We're going to play Quickfire.
12:03All right, everybody. In Quickfire,
12:05you'll each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions
12:07as possible. For every correct answer,
12:09I'll give you a counter to play in the machine.
12:11Every counter is critical.
12:13The player with the lowest score at the end
12:15of this round will be out of the game.
12:17Max, it has you in the lead by seven
12:19counters over Helen, and you've got that
12:21opportunity to try to extend
12:23the lead if you so choose right here.
12:25Let's play.
12:27Let's do it.
12:29Max will put 30 seconds on the
12:31clock for you, and your time starts
12:33now. Matilda, the mascot of

13:05English artist?
13:07And that was Thomas Gainsborough.
13:09Two, Max. Is that going to be enough for you?
13:11Due. Yes.
13:13I believe it will be.
13:15Let's go.
13:17Drop zone. Four.
13:19Four it is. Light it up for Max.
13:21Good.
13:23Let's go.
13:25Oh, yeah.
13:27That looks good.
13:29Big, good jump. There is a big gap
13:31at the front, Max.
13:33You're committed.
13:35And that was the issue.
13:37There's no gap anymore, though.
13:39You've only got one counter left.
13:41Four time.
13:43Four it is.
13:45Pass.
13:53That'll come sliding down
13:55that wall.
13:57Maybe it won't.
13:59No way.
14:01Wow. Maxie.
14:03Max, you must feel a little bit ripped off.
14:05That's cool, man. Okay. I love your
14:07attitude. Nothing to transfer,
14:09so you've set the target for Helen
14:11and Peter. Helen, seven counters behind
14:13your choice now if you would like to play.
14:15I am playing.
14:17Here we go.
14:19Thirty seconds on the clock now for you, Helen, and your time
14:21starts now. What grain is the

14:57Well done, Helen. Thank you.
14:59You've got two counters. What are you
15:01going to do with your two? So number
15:03four, I'll be going there
15:05first. Timing
15:07is everything. We've got to light it
15:09up first. Light up drop zone four for Helen.
15:13So my timing's off
15:15now.
15:17I had good timing there, Todd.
15:21That's good. It's flat.
15:23Shot down.
15:25Bang. Yeah.
15:27There you go.
15:29Here we go.
15:33Nothing wrong
15:35with your timing at all, Helen. That was seven over
15:37the tipping point. $700.
15:39That was awesome!
15:41Goes into the machine.
15:43Whee!
15:45That was an ambient. They're void, so we'll continue
15:47to move on, Helen. Right. So I've still got
15:49one more. You've got one more.
15:51And you've got yourself tied now with Max.
15:53Well done.
15:55Maxie!
15:57Okay.
15:59Alright, my husband's yelling a three.
16:01I'm going to have to go three.
16:03Light up three.
16:05I will say,
16:07he's in big trouble if this doesn't work.
16:09Better not go left.
16:13Oh, he's okay now.
16:15That's good.
16:17It was going to be troublesome.
16:21Might be a mystery coming your way.
16:23Yay!
16:27That was one, wasn't it? It was only one.
16:29I can't believe it. They're all pinning each
16:31other down. Let's put another hundred up
16:33as well, Helen, and that was a good couple
16:35of drops for you. Thank you.
16:37$800 is the total. Let's take it from there,
16:39put it into your bank, and that gives you
16:41a one-counter lead of $1,200
16:43ahead of Max.
16:45Pretty straightforward for you, Peter.
16:47Ten? There's at least ten
16:49piled up there in
16:51Drop Zone 3. You need as many counters
16:53as you can, though. Got to answer a question right.
16:55Yes. Thirty seconds is on the clock
16:57for you, Peter. Your time starts
16:59now. In which Australian city
17:01is the National Gallery of Victoria?
17:03Melbourne. Correct. What primary

17:07flag of Liechtenstein?

17:13In the Night Kitchen?
17:15Pass. Maurice Sendak.
17:17What does the L stand for in the name of the
17:19Australian professional sports competition, NRL?
17:21League. Correct.
17:23Tarra Masalata is typically
17:25made from the eggs of which animal?
17:27Salmon. Correct.
17:29Yes.
17:31Well done.
17:33Nice work, Peter.
17:35That might be enough. Four counters is
17:37a great effort in a quickfire.
17:39Ten to tie. Eleven gets
17:41you through. Three.
17:43Let's do three.
17:45First to four.
17:51That was a fast drop.
17:53Okay. Let's see.
17:55Does it get something off the top?
17:57Oh, and it's
17:59working into that big pile.
18:05It's like a rollercoaster in here.
18:07Just a single. A hundred goes in the machine.
18:09Three counters left to play. We'll leave the money
18:11there while you keep trying to build.
18:13Three again.
18:19Now you need nine.
18:21Here we go.
18:25That's a better position.
18:27This will get some over.
18:29Yay!
18:35Two more.
18:37Glass half full.
18:39It's going to get there. Three.
18:41Let's do it again. One more time.
18:43Third one in. Third time
18:45lucky.
18:47And...
18:49And...
18:55Surely.
18:57Come on. It has to go.
18:59That one's lined up.
19:03It has to go.
19:07Come on.
19:09Three more.
19:11Three hundred goes up.
19:13That puts four hundred in your bank.
19:15And you still need
19:17to find six
19:19to tie Max.
19:21Three again. Let's go three again.
19:23Back to three.
19:25If that pile goes, Max,
19:27you might be in trouble. Three's a-goer.
19:31Remember that mystery
19:33is still under there.
19:35That's going to push over to the side
19:37a little bit.
19:39Yay!
19:41Come on.
19:45Yay!
19:49Yes!
19:51Max!
19:57Peter.
19:59You're going to love salmon for the rest
20:01of your life. I think so.
20:03Because that question got you through.
20:05It got you seven, including the mystery
20:07over there. You only need six.
20:11And with one thousand one hundred
20:13in the bank, we move it over.
20:15And you find yourself tied
20:17with Helen
20:19with one thousand two hundred.
20:21And of course, you also got
20:23a mystery. And you can prepare
20:25to cook up a storm with this exceptional
20:27Swiss Diamond XD non-stick
20:29ultimate collection pack. It's
20:31compatible with all cooktops, including
20:33induction, valued at over
20:35one thousand seven hundred dollars.
20:39And at the end of our quickfire round,
20:41Helen, Peter, with one thousand
20:43two hundred, and Max with only
20:45one thousand one hundred. It means,
20:47unfortunately, we've found your tipping point.
20:49Oh, Max.
20:51Oh, what a round
20:53that was. Unfortunate for you, Max.
20:55But for Helen and Peter, it means that they
20:57will be going head to head in the next
20:59round for the chance to play for the twenty thousand
21:01dollar jackpot. Who goes through?
21:03We'll find out next on Tipping Points.
21:11Welcome back to Tipping Points.
21:13Helen and Peter are about to go head to head.
21:15What a race it was in that last round.
21:17One of you will go through to play for the
21:19twenty thousand dollar jackpot.
21:21Peter, you just snuck through.
21:23Salmon and cookware,
21:25it's all coming together.
21:27Because I understand, at one point,
21:29you were a chef.
21:31I was. I worked in a restaurant called
21:33The Quilted Giraffe in New York.
21:35Yeah, very famous too.
21:37Very famous.
21:39Very famous.
21:41Was something famous they cooked with?
21:43They did. They had a little thing called a beggar's purse.
21:45Caviar and creme fraiche
21:47covered in a crepe, topped with gold.
21:49Wow.
21:51Beautiful. And they'd serve it on a plate
21:53and say thank you as they pocketed the money.
21:55Yeah, I bet they did.
21:57But both of those things helped you get through
21:59to this round.
22:01True.
22:03So you've got a special guest with you today. Could you introduce us?
22:05Here's Ashlyn.
22:07How's Dad doing?
22:09He got there.
22:11He's a better late than never, Ashlyn.
22:13But he's through to this next round.
22:15Helen.
22:17You're a personal trainer too.
22:19I am. Twenty-five years I've been personal training.
22:21You must have come across some interesting people.
22:23One was a current AFL footballer.
22:25I've trained
22:27an ex-Olympian,
22:29a famous
22:31Australian singer,
22:33and a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
22:35You've got a good resume under your belt, Helen.
22:37Yeah, I do.
22:39But it's going to be an interesting fight
22:41to separate you two as we go head-to-head.
22:43Yep.
22:49And in this round, Helen and Peter,
22:51you'll each be asked two questions.
22:53Answer correctly, you'll get the counter to play into the machine.
22:55Get it wrong, your opponent steals the counter.
22:57If you are unsure of your question,
22:59you can ask your opponent to play that instead.
23:01Helen, you were leading
23:03into the previous round,
23:05and because you're tied, that gives you
23:07the opportunity to play first
23:09or to pass to Peter. What would you like to do?
23:11I'd like to play, Todd.
23:13Helen, your first
23:15head-to-head question is...
23:29I can't be sure I've seen the first
23:31Boy Story many a times,
23:33but I can't be sure,
23:35so I am asking to
23:37Peter. Oh, thanks for that.
23:39Thanks a lot.
23:41Peter.
23:43I can only think of Buzz Lightyear.
23:45Alright. Is that
23:47the answer, Buzz Lightyear?
23:51Yeah!
23:55That was lucky.
23:57That's a steal, Peter.
23:59Well done to you. Can you
24:01get yourself in front?
24:03You played a bit of two, but no money
24:05came out, so let's go two.
24:07Light up drop zone two.
24:11It is the first time
24:13we've put anything into drop zone two,
24:15Peter.
24:17One count has gone into one, one into two.
24:19Oh, you want a two.
24:21That's good. And it's not a rider,
24:23that's good. That's good. Excellent.
24:25There's just that little
24:27corner there, that little V.
24:29Give it a nudge.
24:33You got away with one there, Helen.
24:35And Peter, you didn't take advantage.
24:37I know. But you have the next question
24:39coming your way.
24:41In Sue Grafton's
24:43alphabet series of mystery novels,
24:45the 23rd book is titled
24:47W is for What?
24:49Pass or play?
24:51Familiar with Sue Grafton's books?
24:53I think it's a very good
24:55one to pass.
25:01Helen, W is for
25:03what? Winners.
25:05W is for winners?
25:07Is that the correct answer?
25:11Wasted.
25:13Close. That was close.
25:15Peter, going well
25:17for you so far in this head-to-head.
25:19Light up two again.
25:25Down
25:27she goes.
25:29This could do something, Peter. There's another little corner
25:31there.
25:33That gets something over.
25:35Come on.
25:37Something, something.
25:39Peter, you wasted that cannon.
25:41No doubt about that. Unfortunate.
25:43Two gone in, nothing come out. We can't separate
25:45them at the moment and we'll be back after the break
25:47to see who makes it through for the $20,000
25:49jackpot. It's all coming up next on
25:51Seven Point.
25:55Seven Point.
26:05Welcome back to Tipping Point where Helen, our
26:07techno lovers, jigging along to
26:09our little theme song here at Tipping Point.
26:11Peter, magpie lover, they're going head-to-head.
26:13We cannot separate them at the moment.
26:15One of them will go through to play for
26:17the jackpot of $20,000. Helen,
26:19the next question is coming your way.
26:21Yep.
26:23This geography measures over 4,200
26:25kilometres north to south
26:27but averages a width of
26:29only 180 kilometres.
26:31Pass or
26:33play?
26:35I can't be sure so
26:37it's a handball too.
26:39Oh, you're nice.
26:41Ever been to South America?
26:43No, I haven't.
26:45You like your geography?
26:47A little bit.
26:49So I'm thinking maybe Chile.
26:51Either way, it's going to be hot.
26:53What would you have thought, Helen?
26:55I don't know. I think that Pete would
26:57probably know but, yeah,
26:59I had no idea. Do you get the third
27:01counter here with Chile, Peter?
27:03Sure do.
27:05Peter's hot to top.
27:07That is good.
27:09Can you get lucky? You got through
27:11to here on one counter
27:13to take Max out. Third time lucky.
27:15Third time lucky.
27:17Now I'm going to go two.
27:19Persisting with two.
27:21I know there's some gaps
27:23there but I reckon it's going to be two.
27:25Never know your luck, Pete.
27:27He's had a bit today, Helen.
27:31Max thought he was looking pretty
27:33there for a while but Pete
27:35got over the top of him.
27:37Oh, spread.
27:39Nice spread.
27:41Three.
27:43Not a huge shot but
27:45three and 300 going to the machine.
27:47Let's get it out of there.
27:49Got yourself the three counter lead with
27:511,500, Peter. You get this
27:53question correct, you're straight through.
27:55You ready for it?
27:57Let's do it. Here it is.
27:59The catchphrase
28:01sliving was
28:03coined and trademarked by which
28:05American celebrity?
28:07Pass or play? I think I'm going to pass it.
28:09I'm going to give you the chance to win.
28:11I don't know.
28:13I can picture her.
28:15It's a her.
28:17I'm pretty sure.
28:19I can't remember the name.
28:21Sliv, sliv, sliv.
28:23No.
28:25Mariah Carey.
28:27I don't know.
28:29Mariah Carey.
28:31Pete, any idea that you might have
28:33gone for? Don't know.
28:35Michelle Pfeiffer. I don't know.
28:37Is it
28:39Mariah Carey?
28:41Oh.
28:43Paris Hilton.
28:45A mix between slaying and living.
28:47What? Peter's sliving
28:49at the moment because he's got the
28:51lead and he's got the counter to play
28:53and you're just going to build the bank from here, Peter.
28:55Do you want to show it, Pete? Drop zone one.
28:57Light it up.
29:05Not bad.
29:07Down heavy. Setting it up nice.
29:09Brings into the top shelf.
29:13This is going to be good.
29:19Sealed the deal.
29:21It sure did seal the deal, Helen.
29:23Another eight over the tipping point and $800
29:25goes up and into the machine.
29:27Put it into your bank
29:29and at the end of head to head with $2,300
29:31you can sit back with a big smile on your face
29:33and Helen,
29:35it was tight there for a long time.
29:37But definitely we found your tipping point.
29:39Thanks. Thank you.
29:41Good luck, Pete.
29:43Thank you, thank you, thank you.
29:45And Peter, it means that you're going
29:47through to play for this, the jackpot counter.
29:49It's worth $20,000.
29:51Can you march around the machine and take home the cash?
29:53We'll find out after the break.
30:07Welcome back, everyone, to Tipping Point
30:09where Peter is our winner today, $2,300.
30:11Well played. Thank you, thank you.
30:13But we want you to go home
30:15with way more money than that.
30:17Now, we touched on it early, but if you're to
30:19win the money today, I know Ashlyn
30:21would like a little bit, but... Maybe she might
30:23get some. But my 40th wedding
30:25anniversary's coming up and
30:27we'd like to go swimming with the whale sharks
30:29at Ningaloo. What a great
30:31trip that would be. The way you've played today,
30:33I think it's more than possible.
30:35So you ready to get it underway? Let's do it.
30:37Alright, good luck, Peter.
30:39We're about to play the jackpot round.
30:45Time to put the jackpot counter
30:47into the machine, push it back out
30:49and you could be going away with
30:51$20,000. Have you got a favourite?
30:53Have you got a strategy? What's it going to be?
30:57I want to get the most money out, so I think it's
30:59heading towards one. Alright, drop zone
31:01one. Light it up.
31:05Yes!
31:09Yes!
31:11Alright, the double
31:13in play up the top, that moves down.
31:15Every counter over
31:17at any time in this round is worth
31:19$100. That's a nice
31:21little start. Nice start.
31:23We can put $400
31:25into your account and
31:27we'll give you $2,700
31:29as we take a look at what five categories
31:31you're going to play today, Peter.
31:33You have bands, sport,
31:35animals, myth,
31:37big things.
31:39Big things we hope to come, like
31:41$20,000 or more. You can play one, two
31:43or three counters. The more you play four, the harder
31:45the question will be. Save the
31:47big things till the end? Yeah, you could.
31:49Let's start with bands. Let's work our way down.
31:51Bands, four, how many then? Let's try three.
31:53Good, here we go.
31:55Good luck.
31:57Here's the first question.
31:59Anna Fried Lindstedt was a member
32:01of which Swedish pop group?
32:03Roxette,
32:05ABBA or Swedish House Mafia?
32:07I could sing, but
32:09that would really be bad. So let's
32:11try ABBA.
32:13Alright, lighter up.
32:15Is it ABBA?
32:17Yep.
32:19Yes! One down.
32:23Alright, Peter. Let's get started.
32:25See if we can move this jackpot counter.
32:27Get it down quick as possible.
32:29Lighter up. Drop zone.
32:39Right side. We want him on the left.
32:43Doubles down a bit early.
32:47Some early money for you too.
32:49That's three. That gets you to a flat $3,000
32:51in the bank as we head
32:53back to drop zone one again.
32:55Lighter up. We need left hand side.
32:59Yes, yes, yes!
33:01Like that.
33:03Come on.
33:05That's great.
33:07That's a good one. We got it to the top.
33:11Small money.
33:13And that's good. We start to clear out the
33:15front too. So four more.
33:17$3,400 is in
33:19your bank and we've got one
33:21counter left to put in. Be great if we could get it
33:23down here. That would be sensational.
33:25Lighter up.
33:29Let's go.
33:31That's it, that's it, that's it.
33:33Oh no.
33:35It's okay, it's okay.
33:37There's plenty of room there, I think.
33:41Now, it's going to
33:43squeeze a little to the left.
33:45Probably knock down those too.
33:49Going to move the double closer to the tipping point.
33:53That's interesting. See how that just swirled?
33:55First question, we've moved it
33:57to the front. So let's go back to categories.
33:59Running the board down.
34:01Let's go spawn. Are we playing three?
34:03We're playing three.
34:07As of 2024,
34:09which of these countries has
34:11hosted more Commonwealth Games
34:13than any other nation?
34:15Scotland, Canada
34:17or Australia?
34:19I think Australia could be in the mix
34:21but I'm just wondering whether it should
34:23be right in the mix.
34:25Scotland.
34:27Light up Scotland.
34:29Is that the country
34:31that has hosted more
34:33Commonwealth Games?
34:37No.
34:39It's Australia. It is Australia.
34:41Should know.
34:43Went to the Commonwealth Games.
34:45Well, that doesn't help.
34:47No. No.
34:49Let's go back to... Animals.
34:51Let's hope it's a magpie question.
34:53Three counters.
34:55And I can hear the magpies telling me
34:57three counters and you're going to get it.
35:03Yeah.
35:05Yeah. Probably right.
35:07Ashlyn agreed with me then.
35:09Here's your animal
35:11question.
35:13What is the name of a large
35:15species of insect native
35:17to Australia?
35:19Is it the superb butcher wasp,
35:21the great carpenter bee
35:23or the greater barber ant?
35:25So let's think about it.
35:29I don't think the greater barber ant.
35:31Superb is something that's
35:33normally given to something like a bird.
35:35So I wouldn't count that.
35:37So let's say the great carpenter bee.
35:39Alright. Light up
35:41great carpenter bee. Is that the native
35:43insect to Australia?
35:51You were brilliant.
35:53That was...
35:55pretty good.
35:57Alright. We're going to get this down.
35:59Come on now. We'll light up job zone one.
36:01We're going to light it up first.
36:03Sorry. Job zone one.
36:07I've lost him for a minute.
36:09Come on.
36:15There's a bit of weight.
36:17If you can lateral push. Come on.
36:19Push, push, push.
36:21Come on.
36:23Looks like we're going to need a direct hit.
36:25Yeah, I think so.
36:27One in. Two to go. Light her up again.
36:35Come on.
36:37Come on.
36:39Threw it the other way on us.
36:41Nasty.
36:43Get down. I wonder if that's sitting
36:45in the middle so it might squeeze out a bit
36:47which would be helpful. Push it out there.
36:49Oh no. It went that way.
36:51It went the other way.
36:53It went to the right, not to our left.
36:55Alright. Two more dollars.
36:57Another $300.
36:59So $3,700 into the bank.
37:01And now we have one counter
37:03left to play from this animal category.
37:05Light it up again please. Job zone one.
37:11Come on.
37:13Come on.
37:15Go left.
37:17No, it's not doing it.
37:19Not yet anyway.
37:21That's going to change the balance
37:23of things in that drop zone.
37:25Put some weight over the right side.
37:27Maybe advantageous.
37:29Who knows?
37:31We have to find more to play with.
37:33Yes we do.
37:35And we've got two left. This is myth.
37:37Let's go for three.
37:39Let's go for three.
37:41Let's hope I don't make a myth-take.
37:43Sorry.
37:45Here we go.
37:47Which Roman god is typically considered
37:49the equivalent of the Greek god
37:51Zeus?
37:53Mercury, Saturn
37:55or Jupiter? Let's go Jupiter.
37:57Yeah? Yeah, I like Jupiter.
37:59Alright. Sounds like a nice planet.
38:01It does.
38:03A nice place to visit. We're going to light it up.
38:05Yeah, let's do that. And then we're going to find out
38:07after this break whether you're a step closer
38:09to the $20,000 jackpot.
38:11Join us on Tipping Point.
38:25Welcome back everyone to Tipping Point.
38:27Pete's our winner. He's got $3,700
38:29in the bank. Before we went to the break
38:31the question for you was
38:33which Roman god is typically considered
38:35the equivalent of the Greek god Zeus?
38:37And you very confidently said
38:39Jupiter. And in the break I said
38:41geez, it looked like you knew that. And you said
38:43not really. Just like the name.
38:45Yeah, that's right.
38:47So this is a bit of a stab in the dark.
38:49We desperately need three counters.
38:51Is Jupiter the correct answer?
38:53It is a nice name.
38:59Lucky, lucky, lucky.
39:01Let's keep lucky. Let's get something on the left side.
39:03Get this down so we can keep rolling.
39:05Light up drop zone one.
39:07Come on mate. Come on everybody.
39:09Let's get him there.
39:11This one.
39:17Left, left, left, left, left, left.
39:19Yes! Come on now. Yes, it's gonna come.
39:21It's coming. Long as it gets flat.
39:25Oh, nice.
39:27Let it down, nice.
39:29Now, there's a little bit of weight there.
39:31Yes!
39:33Oh, it's gonna line up with the double.
39:35Oh!
39:37Okay!
39:39That's pretty good.
39:41That's good.
39:43That was five over the tipping point as well.
39:45So $500 coming your way.
39:47You have $4,200 in the bank.
39:49But have a look where the jackpot counter went.
39:51It squeezed itself near the double.
39:53We've got $40,000 in play.
39:55Don't forget that.
39:57This is the second counter of our Jupiter question.
39:59Light her up again.
40:01Come on.
40:03Keep going.
40:05Keep going.
40:07Keep going.
40:09Keep going.
40:11Keep going.
40:13Keep going.
40:15Keep going.
40:17Keep going.
40:19Keep going.
40:21Oh, now it's taken a bit to the right.
40:23You've got one more.
40:25Maybe a push. There's a little bit of weight there.
40:27The double's in play.
40:29Oh, no, they're gone.
40:31So we had one early.
40:33Cleared the weight with the next two.
40:35That's $300 going up into the bank.
40:37$4,500. Just have a look at that.
40:39It could be one push away.
40:41Let's get it done. Find out what's going to happen.
40:43You ready?
40:45Light her up. Come on.
40:47It might be it.
40:49It could be it.
40:55Oh, yeah, it could be okay.
40:57Could straighten it up.
40:59Front one down.
41:01Come on. Down you come.
41:03It's heavy.
41:05Anything can happen here.
41:07Straightened it up.
41:09That's good.
41:11It's loaded.
41:13It's locked.
41:15We have a final category to go to.
41:17Three more pounders would be enough, I think.
41:19How's the heart going?
41:21It's beating pretty fast.
41:23That's a good thing.
41:25Let's go back to the final category.
41:27Big things.
41:29This could be big things.
41:31Big things about to happen for you, Peter.
41:33Let's hope.
41:35Three counters.
41:37Definitely.
41:39Good luck with it.
41:41An 8-metre tall big thing
41:43located in Tully
41:45in far north Queensland
41:47is the golden what?
41:49Is it the golden gumboot,
41:51golden stubby
41:53or the golden acubra?
41:55That's interesting.
41:57They get an awful lot of rain up in Tully.
42:01So if there's a lot of rain,
42:03it might mean they need
42:05gumboots.
42:07So let's try gumboot.
42:09Light up gumboot.
42:13Is that what we are looking
42:15for to give us three counters to try
42:17and find the jackpot?
42:21What the hell did you get
42:23out of that?
42:29I had no idea it rained a lot in Tully.
42:31I just learnt something.
42:33It rains an awful lot in Tully.
42:35Well, all our fans up in Tully,
42:37we hope it shines a bright light
42:39but this is going to be a big moment.
42:41You've got the counters to play but before you put those
42:43last three in with everything so close,
42:45the jackpot, the double, could it be 20,
42:47will it be 40, we're going to go to the newsroom.
42:49Let's hope.
42:51Peter, before we went to the newsroom,
42:53we've got three counters to put into the machine.
42:55Are you ready to play? We want to get you to the Ningaloo Reef.
42:57No, but I'm going to do it.
42:59Don't be nervous now.
43:01Number one.
43:03Let's go. Light her up.
43:05This could be worth
43:07$40,000. The double is in play.
43:11That's a good position.
43:13What's it going to do?
43:15It's in line.
43:17It's in line.
43:19It's coming.
43:21You've got it.
43:27Come on.
43:37Yes.
43:39Yes.
43:45Come in here.
43:49I can't believe it.
43:51Peter, congratulations. You've won yourself $20,000
43:53plus the cookware. Don't forget about that.
43:55$1,700.
43:57Thanks for coming down. I'm glad you're able to take
43:59care of him. I thought he was a little wacky there
44:01for a minute but he was as smart as anything,
44:03wasn't he? You can go back home and
44:05warble to those magpies
44:07out the back. You've got a lot to
44:09tell them about today.
44:11Thanks for playing. Thank you for watching.
