00:00One of our contestants could walk away with our $20,000 jackpot,
00:04but to do that, they'll have to conquer this magnificent machine.
00:07Who'll claim the cash?
00:08I'm Todd Woodbridge.
00:09Let's release the counters and play Tipping Point.
00:32Welcome, everyone, to Tipping Point,
00:33where these three contestants are ready to take on the machine.
00:36So let's meet them.
00:37I'm Laura. I'm a criminology student from Sydney.
00:40My bestie and I watch Tipping Point every night,
00:42and if I win the money, I'm going to take her to Paris.
00:44My name's Paul. I'm from Windsor.
00:46I work on a building site as a labourer,
00:48but I was a seafarer for 39 years,
00:50but my biggest adventure was marrying my wife at 60 last year.
00:53Aww.
00:55Hi, Todd. My name is Amanda.
00:56I am an office manager from Melbourne.
00:58I have a life-size cutout of Dusty Martin in my bedroom,
01:02which I absolutely love,
01:04but I don't think my husband shares that love.
01:09Well, Amanda, I'm not surprised, actually.
01:12What does he say about...
01:14I was going to say sleeping with Dusty, but maybe, you know...
01:16Well, he's probably taking it a little bit far, but...
01:18When do you pull Dusty out?
01:20He comes out at different occasions, actually.
01:21If we have a get-together,
01:23he often pops out onto the alfresco and has a drink with us, or...
01:26Unbelievable.
01:27Yeah, it provides a lot of fun.
01:28Good luck to you, Amanda. Lovely having you on.
01:30Paul, married at 60.
01:32Yeah, married at 60, Todd,
01:33because I figure a whole lot less can go wrong at 60 than at 20,
01:36so...
01:37So far, it's going all right.
01:38You're probably right.
01:39Just a little wave to Michelle, your wife, over there.
01:42Welcome to you two.
01:44And, Laura, Paris sounds nice.
01:47I know.
01:47I think that I could take her over there.
01:49Maybe we can meet some French guys, and...
01:52Lovely.
01:52I don't know.
01:53Maybe then live over there.
01:54All right.
01:54Well, Tipping Point could definitely change your life today, Laura.
01:57Yeah.
01:57We'd better get it underway.
01:58You ready?
01:59Ready.
01:59Good luck to all three of you as we get set to play round one, Bank Builder.
02:07All right.
02:08In our Bank Builder round, it's your chance to make some serious money.
02:11Every counter that you can push over that tipping point, $100 will be added to your account.
02:15Now, you'll each start with three counters.
02:18If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine,
02:22or you could pass to one of your opponents and get them to play one of theirs instead.
02:26If you answer incorrectly, or don't answer within three seconds, I've got to take your counter away from you.
02:31Now, in the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
02:33Push those over to double the value of your drop, along with the two mystery counters,
02:37which, if you could push one of those over, you're guaranteed a magnificent prize here today.
02:42Righto.
02:42Hands on buzzers, everybody.
02:43Here comes the opening question.
02:44What name for a horny mammal is commonly abbreviated to rhino?
02:50Rhinoceros?
02:50Laura, yes.
02:51Sorry, I didn't mean to say it.
02:53That's all right.
02:53You're fine.
02:54What a start by you, Laura.
02:55What would you like to do?
02:56Are you going to play the first counter?
02:58Yeah, I'm going to play it.
02:59All right.
03:02Drop zone four.
03:03Light up drop zone four, please.
03:12Look at it go.
03:13That is, oh, don't slide right.
03:15Don't go in between the two of them.
03:19It did.
03:20It's gone into that little corner between that black and silver counter.
03:24All right.
03:25That's okay.
03:25No money on the first one.
03:27Plenty of opportunity still remains as we head to our second question.
03:30The title song of which 1952 musical features the lyric, what a glorious feeling.
03:35I'm happy again.
03:36Paul.
03:37Sing it in the rain.
03:38Well done, Paul.
03:39Well done, Paul.
03:43I'll play.
03:44And light up drop zone four, please.
03:46Light it up.
03:56Right where I wanted it.
03:57It's all right, though.
03:59Don't do the same as what Laura's did.
04:01Yeah, don't do anything.
04:02He's sitting in the middle of the minute.
04:04Yeah, set up for me, guys.
04:05Let's go slide.
04:06Yep.
04:07Oh!
04:12Oh!
04:13Oh, dear.
04:14Okay.
04:15Oh, so close.
04:16All right.
04:17Laura, Paul, both used the counter.
04:18No money to show for it as we head to the next question.
04:21What is the common English translation of the Mexican holiday name Dia de los Muertos?
04:29Amanda?
04:30Day of the Dead.
04:31Yes, Amanda.
04:33Ooh, what a guess.
04:36No surprises, but I'm going to lock you drop zone four.
04:39I thought you would.
04:39Let's light it up.
04:43I read that this is your preferred and lucky drop zone.
04:47Certainly my preferred and lucky drop zone.
04:50That looks smooth.
04:50It's my favourite number.
04:51Surprise, surprise.
04:53Here we go.
04:56What?
05:07That was a bit of a team effort.
05:08It was, actually.
05:09Thank you, team.
05:10Sorry.
05:10Laura, you're right.
05:11It was a bit of a team effort.
05:12It was.
05:12I get some little cards in front of me just with some information about our contestants.
05:16And let me read this to you.
05:17Has a tipping point group chat with friends called what?
05:21Toddy time.
05:22Toddy time.
05:24And drop zone four is their preferred zone.
05:28Yes, it is.
05:28Thank you, drop zone four.
05:29First drop of the day gets you nine over the tipping point.
05:32Oh, wow.
05:35Let's transfer that from our machine.
05:37Put that into your bank with two counters left to play.
05:39You're off to a hot start, Amanda.
05:41Moving on.
05:43In 2019, Ash Barty won her first Grand Slam singles title at which tournament?
05:48Paul?
05:49US Open.
05:50No, it was the French Open, in fact.
05:53Paul, unfortunately, that was the only one that Ash didn't win.
05:56She won the other three.
05:57So I've got to take that counter away from you.
06:00And you've got one left to play.
06:01Next question.
06:03First published in 1994, is the classic children's book, Guess How Much I What?
06:09Laura?
06:10Love you.
06:10That's right.
06:11Well done.
06:15I think I'm going to pass.
06:18Is that right?
06:18Yeah.
06:20I think I'm going to pass to lovely Amanda.
06:23Okay, Amanda.
06:25You get a shot.
06:25Now, you've done a bit of work cleaning out drop zone four.
06:28Would you go back there again?
06:29Let's try two.
06:30Quite a drop zone two for the first time.
06:32See if we'll get the mystery.
06:40Yeah.
06:40Oh, that's a nice drop.
06:41That looks okay.
06:42It looks like it's lining itself up with the other silver.
06:46Done.
06:56You know how you said four was your lucky number?
06:59Yeah.
06:59Maybe you should switch it to nine.
07:01Another nine came over.
07:02No.
07:03Oh, wow.
07:05Thank you from the machine.
07:06Add it into your bank and you've got 1,800 with still a counter left to play.
07:10What a start.
07:10Thank you, Josh.
07:11Well done, Amanda.
07:12That's good.
07:12Wow.
07:15So, Laura.
07:18I should.
07:19I almost played and I almost went to.
07:22And you almost had 900.
07:23Oh, that's okay.
07:26That's okay.
07:27That's okay.
07:27Here's the next question.
07:28In which Australian territory is Litchfield National Park?
07:32Laura?
07:33Northern Territory?
07:34You got it.
07:35Well done.
07:35Well done.
07:39Okay, I am going to play.
07:40I'm going to play this time.
07:42I'm going to light up drop zone one.
07:43Light it up.
07:45First time we're there.
07:50Oh, nice one.
07:51Oh, nice one.
07:52Come on.
07:52Just shuffle a little right.
07:53Don't go left-ish.
07:57Oh, no.
07:59The machine doesn't like me.
08:00It's a mood today.
08:01It doesn't.
08:02Yeah.
08:02Laura and Paul, this machine.
08:04Right.
08:04Everybody with a single counter left to play.
08:07Next question.
08:08School's Out was a 1972 hit for which American rocker?
08:12Paul.
08:13Alice Cooper.
08:13That's right.
08:14Right up, Paul.
08:14Here's your shot.
08:18Where do you have him?
08:23My three compadres here are saying uno numero.
08:27Number one, please.
08:28So I'll light her up.
08:30Yeah, that's a good one.
08:37Oh.
08:40It'll seem confident that it will.
08:43Oh, yeah.
08:43Oh, yeah.
08:44There you go.
08:45Now, if it slides down that left-hand wall a little.
08:48Push something over.
08:49Oh, no.
08:51Oh!
08:51That's good.
08:52That's good.
08:53That's good.
08:54That's good.
08:54That's good.
08:55Hey!
08:59Three over the tipping point.
09:01$300 gets rid of that zero as we take it from the machine, put it into your bank,
09:06and at the end of your bank builder round, still work to do.
09:09You're 15 behind Amanda.
09:10So we're down to the final two counters.
09:13The second last question of the round is this.
09:15In a common saying, if you lie down with dogs, you get up with what?
09:20Laura?
09:21Fleas?
09:21That's right.
09:22Correct.
09:22Well done.
09:25Okay, I'm going to light up two, please.
09:27Okay.
09:27If you can get it right-hand side, you'd be strong.
09:35Oh.
09:36You may not get the mystery, but that's the right side to get some money.
09:40Definitely.
09:40Definitely.
09:40Something maybe.
09:41Yes.
09:42Oh, no!
09:45Oh, this machine doesn't look like that.
09:46Oh, dear.
09:48Each one of them hasn't lined up to get something off the top.
09:51So, Laura, played well, but no luck.
09:54So you're out.
09:56And, Amanda, you've got the final counter.
09:57Yes.
09:58No need to buzz in.
09:58Right.
09:59You do need to answer, and you've got three seconds to do it.
10:01Okay.
10:01Last question of the round for you is...
10:03A reflective, rotatable tube filled with colourful shapes,
10:07what optical toy is credited to Scottish inventor Sir David Brewster?
10:14I know what it is, but I can't think of the name.
10:17It's a kaleidoscope.
10:18Kaleidoscope.
10:19Ah!
10:19Bummer.
10:20Never mind.
10:21Okay.
10:21It's not too bad, I've got to say, as I take that counter away,
10:24because it's a strong round for you, Amanda.
10:26And at the end of our bank builder, Laura, plenty to do.
10:29Paul's got 300.
10:31Amanda, you've got the lead with 1,800.
10:33Wow.
10:33And Quickfire's going to determine who's going to stay in the game.
10:36That's coming up right after the spread.
10:50Welcome back to Tipping Point.
10:51Laura and Paul have got work to do to catch Amanda here
10:54if they're going to play for the $20,000.
10:56To see if they can make that happen, let's play Quickfire.
11:03All right, in the Quickfire round, you each have 30 seconds
11:05to answer as many questions as you possibly can.
11:07Every correct answer, I'll give you a counter to play into the machine.
11:10Now, the contestant with a lower score at the end of this round,
11:13unfortunately, is leaving the game.
11:15So, Amanda, 15-counter lead you have at the moment.
11:18Would you like to play,
11:19or would you like to put a bit of strategy into place?
11:22Yeah?
11:23Okay.
11:23All right.
11:24All right.
11:24I'll go first.
11:25Let's have a go.
11:25First it is.

12:42So a nice set-up.

12:43It is a little bit of a set-up.
12:45That'll keep Laura and Paul in the game.
12:47Okay.
12:47So, moving on.

13:38Needed to be Robin.
13:39Phil, you did great.
13:40Well done, though.
13:41You got two.
13:42Very good.
13:43So, two, Paul.
13:45Gives you an opportunity to see if you can close the gap on Amanda.
13:48Light up drop zone one, please.
13:50Yeah, good call.
13:51Light up one.
13:59Ooh, good one.
14:00That's good.

14:48Set it up for me.
14:49Yeah, you set it up for me.
14:50Let's take the 500 out of the machine.
14:52Add it to the 300 from earlier.
14:54And, Paul, you'll have 800.
14:55I think I'm pretty comfortable.
14:56Keep in mind, Amanda.
14:58So, Laura, you need as many counters as you can
15:03because you need to find eight to tie, Paul.
15:05Nine would get you through to the next round.

16:31including the mystery,
16:32so $400 is going to go up in the machine.
16:34We're going to leave it there,

16:55Perfect.
16:56Absolutely perfect.
16:57We thought that might be the case.
17:00Right.
17:00OK.
17:01I think I'm going to go one.
17:03Yeah.
17:04Light up job zone one.
17:12OK.
17:13That shot down.
17:13Yeah, that's a good drop.
17:15That's good.
17:20Oh, no.
17:22Come on, sit backwards.
17:23Don't drop on top.
17:24Oh, wow.
17:25Oh, my gosh.
17:28It needed to stay right.
17:29It needed to...
17:30No, it's not.
17:33Oh, my God.
17:36The machine wasn't my friend today.
17:38No, it certainly was not.
17:40Well, let's do this.
17:40Let's take the $400 out of there.
17:42We're going to put that into your bank, Laura.
17:44And at the end of the round, you'll have $400.
17:47Which means that at the end of our quickfire round, Amanda, you've held on to the lead with
17:52$1,800.
17:53Paul is $10 behind.
17:55And, Laura, unfortunately for you, we've found your tipping points.
17:58That's OK.
17:59I've had a wonderful day.
18:01And every time you open that fridge door and pour a bottle of wine, you'll be thinking about...
18:06I will think of you, Todd.
18:08It's been lovely having you on the show.
18:10Thank you so much.
18:10I hope you guys get that trip to Paris in the near future.
18:12Yeah.
18:12And thank you for being with us.
18:14But it means that after the break, Amanda and Paul are going to go head-to-head.
18:18One of you will get that shot of playing for $20,000.
18:21That's next on Tipping Point.
18:35It's noisy with our audience today.
18:37Paul and Amanda have brought a lot of people with them.
18:39They're about to go head-to-head for $20,000.
18:41Now, Paul, you've got friends and family.
18:43Would you like to introduce them to us?
18:44Yes, Todd, over there I have my beautiful wife, Michelle, and I've got my friend, Brian,
18:49and his wife-to-be, Ashley.
18:51Fantastic.
18:52Welcome to you guys.
18:54Now, Michelle, you know, you guys have just recently been married, but it took him a while,
19:00didn't it?
19:01Certainly did.
19:02Yeah.
19:03Like, how long are we talking?
19:04We were together 10 years.
19:06Oh, right.
19:07And he proposed to me completely by surprise.
19:11Christmas Day, I ran into the water because it was sunny, turned around, and there he was
19:15in his Bunnings hat.
19:17I thought you were going to say bungee smugglers.
19:19I didn't want to visualise that.
19:20I wish.
19:21No.
19:22Well, who are you doing this for today?
19:24I'm doing it for me, well, a few people, but me little granddaughter first and foremost
19:30because she's a little ripper and it just means I have more money for air flights to
19:33go up and see her more often.
19:35And her name is?
19:36Goldie.
19:36Goldie.
19:37That's nice.
19:37Lovely.
19:38Now, Amanda, you've got a huge array of people with you today.
19:41I do.
19:42Come on, let's get through them.
19:43I have my sister Belinda.
19:44I've got Olivia, Millie and Holly, my daughters, Ali, my niece, Josh, my nephew, Phoebe, my
19:50niece, Faith and Beck, my girlfriends.
19:51Woo!
19:55All right, can't talk to them all at once.
19:57But I am going to say hello to Belinda.
19:59Belinda, Amanda, two big drops and that lucky drop zone, hey?
20:02What about that?
20:03Amazing.
20:04We've done it for Dusty.
20:05Done it?
20:06Done it for Dusty.
20:08Toddy time with Dusty.
20:09Yeah.
20:10Oh, that's got a ring to it, hasn't it?
20:12How about that?
20:14Tell us, too, because you've got your daughters there.
20:16Yes.
20:16Tennis is a big part of the family, right?
20:19Yes, it is.
20:19Yes, I met my husband through tennis and I actually introduced my sister to her husband through
20:24tennis.
20:25Is that right?
20:25And we've got the three in the front row next to my sister, they all work at the Australian
20:29Open every year.
20:30Fantastic.
20:30Love it.
20:30I love it.
20:31There you go.
20:32I like that they're connected to the sport that I love.
20:34Yes, absolutely.
20:34Well, so far, you've got a ten-counter lead, Amanda.
20:37Yes.
20:38Can you hang on to it?
20:39Hopefully.
20:40We'll find out as you and Paul go head-to-head.
20:47In head-to-head, you each get two questions.
20:49If you get your question correct, you get the counter, but if you get it wrong, your opponent
20:53steals the counter.
20:54And if you're unsure of your question, you can pass it.
20:57Amanda, with the lead, it means that you'll get the opening question.
21:00Mm-hmm.
21:01Here it is.
21:03The theme song to which 90s sitcom refers to the flashy girl from Flushing?
21:09Pass or play?
21:13I might pass that one to Paul.
21:19It's a bad move because it's my favourite show, that.
21:22Oh, you're kidding.
21:24I am kidding.
21:25I thought I'd get him on that one.
21:26Oh, you are kidding.
21:27Oh, thank goodness.
21:28The flashy girl from Flushing.
21:30Yeah, the theme song to which 90s sitcom refers to the flashy girl from Flushing?
21:35Well, Flushing sounds English.
21:36I'm trying to think of an English sitcom from the 90s.
21:41It's good to guess I got on the buses because I don't know.
21:47I've got a clue.
21:48Let's find out if it's on the buses.
21:52Let's not.
21:55No, it's Flushing, New York, and it's the nanny.
21:59Oh, my God.
22:00Yeah.
22:01You can hear her voice in your head, aren't you?
22:03Here you go.
22:04Amanda, nice pass.
22:05It means you get the first shot here.
22:07All right.
22:09One, one, one.
22:10Okay, I'll go one.
22:12One.
22:12Even though, yeah.
22:13Okay, let's do that.
22:16All right.
22:21Yeah.
22:22It's going to go down the wall, and there's not much in that corner, though.
22:25No, that could be a problem.
22:29Oh.
22:31Oh.
22:32Oh, no.
22:33Okay, that's okay.
22:34You snuck a couple.
22:35That's okay.
22:36Just.
22:37A couple came over.
22:38Yes.
22:38So let's put $200 up.
22:39We're going to take it straight out, put it in your bank, and that will give you a flat $2
22:42,000.
22:42Great.
22:46So the gap has widened to $12, Paul.
22:49Here's your first question.
22:52Famous for his many vague and inaccurate prophecies, Nostradamus was born in 1503 in which European country?
22:59Pass or play?
23:01Now, you know, I've got a couple of places in mind, Todd, but I think I'll pass that one to
23:08Amanda.
23:09Pass for safety.
23:10Okay.
23:11Nostradamus.
23:11He was born in 1503 in which European country, Amanda?
23:15Hmm.
23:18I actually have got no idea.
23:21Um.
23:23So, let's just say Greece.
23:26Greece?
23:28Nostradamus.
23:29Is he from Greece?
23:31I don't know.
23:33I'm telling you.
23:33No.
23:34Oh, France.
23:34He was from France.
23:35Yes, indeed.
23:37It was good, though.
23:38I like the Nostradamus.
23:39It's kind of like take the Greek inflection into it.
23:42Me thought.
23:42I can't say anyway.
23:43Paul, good pass.
23:45Now, 12 behind you are.
23:47You're going to have to work your way across that tipping point.
23:52Light up.
23:53Drop zone four, please.
23:54Light up four.
23:59I'm a little worried about that gap, though.
24:01Come on, four.
24:04Stay there.
24:04Push straight.
24:05Don't go right.
24:06No, lateral.
24:07Lateral.
24:09Oh, Paul.
24:10That was the one spot that it could not go.
24:12Oh, dear.
24:13All right.
24:1412-counter difference.
24:15We'll be back after the break to see whether Paul can get Amanda or not.
24:18Stay with us.
24:31Big support.
24:33All right, welcome back.
24:34Paul and Amanda are going at it.
24:35Amanda, you've still got it.
24:36You've got a 12-counter lead.
24:37Here is your final question of the round.
24:41Throughout history, what name has been taken most commonly by Catholic popes?
24:46Pass or play?
24:48I'm wondering if you're Catholic.
24:52Went to church every day of my life.
24:55You did.
24:56You did go to church.
24:56Every Sunday till I was about 15.
24:58Ah.
24:59Yeah, I'll pass.
25:00It's very nice of you.
25:01Over to you, Paul.
25:05Goodness gracious.
25:06What do you reckon?
25:08Two names I can think of.
25:10One happens to be mine.
25:13The other one's Leo.
25:14I'm thinking Leo or Paul.
25:16Right.
25:16I don't know why Leo, but I just am.
25:19But you know what?
25:21My name's Paul.
25:23It's between you all.
25:23I'll go Paul.
25:25All right.
25:25Paul.
25:26Let's find out if the most common Catholic pope name is Paul.
25:34Been a few John Pauls, but it's simply John.
25:37John.
25:3823 of them, in fact.
25:40Wow.
25:41There you go.
25:41There you go.
25:42Well passed.
25:43Well passed.
25:44Yours, Amanda.
25:45Oh.
25:45Um.
25:47Four.
25:47Ah.
25:48Four?
25:49Four.
25:49Okay.
25:50All right.
25:50All right.
25:51Four.
25:51Back to your number.
25:52Tony time says four.
25:55Okay.
25:57All right.
25:59Let's see.
25:59It's lucky.
26:02Get flat.
26:04No.
26:05Winona.
26:06It's your first error, Amanda.
26:07It's a Winona.
26:08Terrible to Winona.
26:09Or a knight.
26:10You're a knight rider.
26:12Oh.
26:13Okay.
26:14Okay.
26:14It's kept you in it, but you're going to have to find a lot here with your final counter if
26:17you can get it, Paul.
26:19The final question of the round to you.
26:22What are the only two countries in the Southern Hemisphere to have hosted the Olympic Games?
26:28Oh.
26:30I'll play.
26:31Okay.
26:33Okay.
26:34I'm going to say Australia's won.
26:36Mm-hmm.
26:37And I was thinking Japan.
26:39I hope that's not too far north.
26:41I'll go Japan and Australia.
26:43Thank you, Todd.
26:43Okay.
26:44Would you have said Japan or something else, Amanda?
26:47Uh, potentially something else.
26:48Well, you can say it.
26:49Um, Beijing.
26:51Beijing.
26:52Is it Japan for Paul to stay in the game?
26:55If not, Amanda's through.
27:00Oh, Brazil!
27:02Australia and Brazil.
27:03Of course, the other two, being Tokyo and Beijing, they're up north.
27:06And, of course, Rio is in the bottom.
27:08So, Australia and Brazil.
27:10So, Amanda.
27:11Very decent here.
27:13Well played by you.
27:14You've got the final counter.
27:15Oh, great.
27:16Okay.
27:19Okay.
27:21Surprise.
27:22Oh, light it up.
27:30Oh, it gets flat this time.
27:33Well done.
27:33Lucky.
27:33Okay.
27:34Okay.
27:34And that might, if it gets a lateral push left.
27:37Yeah, potentially something.
27:38Oh, we just need it to, yep, okay.
27:43Well done.
27:45Well done.
27:50A couple over to finish things off for you, Amanda.
27:52$200 will go into the machine.
27:54We'll whip it out of there.
27:55We'll put that into your bank.
27:56You'll have $2,200 at the end of our head-to-head game.
28:01And, unfortunately, for you, Paul, that means that we've found your tipping points.
28:05Bye, Nala.
28:08Bye, Nala.
28:09Bye, Nala.
28:10Go Tigers.
28:10Yeah, go Tigers.
28:12It's been great having you on the show and hope you've had a good day.
28:14I've had a wonderful day, Todd.
28:16Thanks very much.
28:16Pleasure, pleasure.
28:17And, Amanda.
28:19Buckle up, Todd.
28:20Buckle up.
28:22Because we're going into the jackpot round and it's worth $20,000.
28:25You've got your shot.
28:27It's time for this to find out whether Amanda can take home those big bucks.
28:47A very popular winner today is Amanda.
28:50And, Amanda, you've got $2,200 so far.
28:52Yes.
28:53Yeah.
28:54Love you to win it a little bit more.
28:56And we've learnt so much about you.
28:58But the most fascinating thing to me, this cutout of Dusty Martin that you have at home,
29:03where'd you get it from?
29:04And how did it end up at home?
29:06It was on a Facebook Marketplace post.
29:09Right.
29:10And it said, free of charge.
29:12Yeah.
29:13First in best dress.
29:14So I got my daughter in the car and I said, we have got to say this is for my
29:18nephew,
29:19because how embarrassing.
29:20Straight home, straight into my bedroom.
29:21Well, you know what I think?
29:22What?
29:23I think it's time to retire, Dusty.
29:25Oh, no.
29:26Because just turn around.
29:27I think this is a better look.
29:29Ah!
29:32Oh, my goodness.
29:33That is gorgeous.
29:34Oh.
29:35That is totty time.
29:36It is totty time.
29:37There you go.
29:38Oh, my God.
29:38Just look, just look over here, yeah?
29:43Okay.
29:43That is unreal.
29:45Oh, my goodness, I love.
29:47Right.
29:48Can I take that home in the car today?
29:49Well, that could be part of the jackpot.
29:51We'll just let, we'll just wait and see.
29:53Oh, okay.
29:53Just leave me.
29:54Leave me there if you could.
29:55Okay.
29:56I'd love to.
29:56What are you playing for, apart from that?
29:59Well, my daughters and I would love to get a new toy poodle, because we have a little
30:02poodle at the moment called Winnie, but she's very old.
30:04So we would love to get a toy poodle and call her Queenie after my late nana.
30:09Fantastic.
30:09Yes.
30:10Very nice.
30:10So we'll call her little Queenie.
30:11But we can't tell my husband, because he doesn't want another dog.
30:14Right, all right.
30:14We'll keep the dog from your husband.
30:15Yes.
30:16And my cutout, all right?
30:18Let's do it.
30:19Let's play the jackpot round.
30:20Come on.
30:26All right.
30:27Time to put the jackpot counter into the machine.
30:29Push it back out.
30:30Okay.
30:30That's your $20,000.
30:31There are still two doubles.
30:33They're on the lower shelf.
30:34So dare I even ask where you're going with it, then?
30:39I think I have to go.
30:41Drop zone?
30:41I think you should.
30:42Let's go.
30:43Let's go.
30:44Here we go.
30:44Okay.
30:46This is the important part.
30:51Get down.
30:53Oh.
30:55That's what we didn't want.
30:56We didn't want a rider.
30:59Now, and it's also split the difference.
31:01Oh, no.
31:02Okay.
31:02All right.
31:02We've got a lot of work to do.
31:04Okay.
31:04So nothing coming over yet.
31:05All right.
31:06But you can get the counters.
31:08Yes.
31:09You can get it on the bottom shelf.
31:10It flips down flat, and off we go.
31:12Okay.
31:12All right.
31:13Five of them are coming your way.
31:14You're going to be playing today, Amanda.
31:17Film, music, food and drink, sport, and rainforest.
31:21Oh.
31:22Now.
31:22Interesting.
31:23You can play for one, two, or three.
31:24Given how that just rode, I think you're going to need as many as you can.
31:27I think I will start...
31:29Let's start from the top for three.
31:32Come on.
31:32Film for three.
31:33Okay.
31:34Here we go.
31:37Kate Blanchett has been Oscar nominated twice for playing which queen?
31:42Mm-hmm.
31:43Mary Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I, or Victoria?
31:47Hmm.
31:48Interesting.
31:48Um, I actually haven't seen the movie, but I don't think it's Mary Queen of Scots.
31:58It's either Elizabeth or Victoria.
32:01I will lock...
32:03I'll go for Elizabeth.
32:06I'm going to light up Elizabeth then.
32:08Mm-hmm.
32:09And we'll find out if Kate Blanchett was Oscar nominated twice for playing Elizabeth I.
32:15First.
32:18Well done.
32:19Ooh, wow.
32:20I didn't know that was...
32:22Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
32:24I nearly said Victoria.
32:25Well done.
32:26Right.
32:26Okay.
32:27So, we've got to keep things going into the right centre.
32:29Okay.
32:30Let's see what happens here.
32:31All right.
32:31Light her up.
32:32Job zone four.
32:33Light her up.
32:33Light her up.
32:33Okay.
32:40Ooh.
32:41No.
32:41Not there, that's for sure.
32:43Completely the opposite side of what we want to do.
32:45That is not great.
32:47But let's see if we can build the bank a bit more.
32:49Okay.
32:51Down it comes.
32:53Oh, okay.
32:54That's not bad.
32:55That's okay.
32:55Good start.
32:56All right.
32:56Four more.
32:57So, that'll give you 2,600.
32:59Okay.
32:59So, we've cleaned out a bit of the left side.
33:01Yes.
33:01Let's clean out the right side.
33:02Let's do it.
33:03Light her up again.
33:09Oh, it's liking that.
33:13Okay.
33:13Okay.
33:14We don't want it there.
33:15No.
33:16Come on.
33:16Give us a little side push here.
33:18Oh, okay.
33:19That's not too bad again.
33:19That's interesting.
33:21Okay.
33:23Ooh.
33:25A jackpot counter mounting a pile on the right side now.
33:29Interesting.
33:30One more.
33:31Let's light it up and get it on the right.
33:33Let's go.
33:40Oh, my goodness me.
33:43Couldn't write the script.
33:44How is that?
33:46It's actually...
33:47It's tripled.
33:48It's like a triple.
33:48It's tripled.
33:49It's tripled.
33:49It's tripled.
33:49It's tripled.
33:49It's like a triple stacked.
33:50Oh, my goodness.
33:52It's literally a jackpot sandwich, and I've never seen that before.
33:56We need to sort this out.
33:58Oh, dear.
33:58So let's go back to categories.
33:59Let's go music for three.
34:00Okay.
34:02Here we go.
34:03Music for three.
34:04Okay.
34:05A scrub is a guy that thinks he's sply.
34:07Is the opening lyric from a hit 90s song by which group?
34:11TLC, Salt and Pepper, En Vogue.
34:15That would be...
34:18It is TLC.
34:19Okay.
34:19Light up TLC.
34:20Light it up.
34:21Is it TLC?
34:24Yep.
34:26Well done.
34:29Back to four.
34:30Light it up.
34:30First of three again.
34:32Okay.
34:34All right.
34:38Bouncing.
34:40Oh, my goodness.
34:42Right.
34:42Well, what I can suggest here is that it would seem that the timing's wrong as it's hitting,
34:47isn't it?
34:47So it's either hit and bounced or hit and spun.
34:50So you're going to have to work a little bit of that out.
34:52Okay.
34:53All right.
34:54Let's light it up again.
34:55Drop zone four.
34:57Okay.
35:00Maybe I'll just go early on this one and see how we go.
35:05Get down.
35:08Oh, the luck.
35:09Oh, man.
35:10Oh, dear.
35:11You are just building stuff up.
35:13On top of...
35:13Oh, kind of building a wall.
35:15Yeah, a wall.
35:15Right.
35:16Come on.
35:16All right.
35:16Third one again.
35:17Light her up.
35:17Okay.
35:26Oh.
35:27It's flat.
35:28It's flat.
35:29And what does it push here?
35:30Oh.
35:32Yeah.
35:33Oh, something.
35:34Okay.
35:37All right.
35:38Okay.
35:40One.
35:41So that'll give you 2,700.
35:43We're out of counters, but we did learn something about the drop.
35:46Okay.
35:47Food, drink, sport, rainforest?
35:48Um, we'll do food and drink.
35:50Let's do that for three, please.
35:56The classic range of Gillian seashell-shaped chocolates also includes which of these sea creatures?
36:05Octopus, seahorse, or crab?
36:06Oh.
36:07Well, I do indulge in a Gillian seashell chocolate on the odd occasion.
36:12So it'll be seahorse.
36:13Light up seahorse.
36:13I will light that up.
36:15All right.
36:15Three more.
36:16Is that a possibility here?
36:19All right.
36:22Okay.
36:22Oh, God.
36:23I need it.
36:24Right.
36:24Oh.
36:25Okay.
36:26All right.
36:27We can get it on the right-hand side.
36:28There's enough to keep the shoveling it over.
36:30Yes, okay.
36:31All right.
36:31Here we go.
36:32We need to get it moving, though.
36:33Yes, please.
36:33Light her up.
36:34Four, please.
36:35Come on, Amanda.
36:36All right.
36:36All right.
36:42Excellent.
36:43Oh, thank goodness.
36:44Excellent.
36:44Yep.
36:44I'm holding my breath until it actually...
36:46Come on, now.
36:47Push it firmly.
36:49There we go.
36:50Oh.
36:51That's good.
36:51That's okay.
36:52Exactly what you need.
36:53We need one more in there.
36:54Light her up.
37:01Oh.
37:02Spin back the other way.
37:03Okay.
37:04Oh, okay.
37:04That's going to lateral.
37:05Still might.
37:06Yeah, might lateral.
37:07Push, push hard.
37:08Push hard.
37:08Push hard.
37:09Yeah.
37:10Oh, okay.
37:21That just increased the value of your bank.
37:24Seven, including the double, will give you $1,400 going up.
37:27Oh, wow.
37:28Oh, that's great.
37:29For a total of $4,100.
37:31Momentum is on our side.
37:32Yes, yes.
37:32Let's get the last one in.
37:33All right.
37:33If we can get it right, I think it's on its way down.
37:37Okay, great.
37:38All right.
37:38Here we go.
37:39Come on, Amanda.
37:39Come on, Amanda.
37:40Come on.
37:40Come on.
37:43Oh, not that side.
37:45Amanda, the timing.
37:46Oh.
37:47Okay, my bad.
37:47The timing, the timing.
37:49Spun again and it's another rider.
37:50Okay.
37:51You'll have to hire a bus for the amount of riders you've had today.
37:56Right.
37:56We're out of counters.
37:57We've got six potential counters left to play.
38:00Okay.
38:01Sports next on the way down.
38:03Yes.
38:04Let's go three.
38:05Okay.
38:06Light it up.
38:10Who was the first Australian golfer to win the U.S. Masters Tournament?
38:15Ian Baker-Finch, Cameron Smith or Adam Scott?
38:20I am not into golf, but potentially Adam Scott or Ian Baker-Finch, but I want to go for Ian
38:33Baker-Finch, but I don't know if he's actually won the Masters.
38:39But his name is, I don't know, for some reason, jumping out at me.
38:44So, that be Ian?
38:45Yeah.
38:46We'll do that.
38:47Light up Ian Baker-Finch.
38:48Oh, dear.
38:50Oh.
38:51No.
38:52They've all won major championships, but we're going to find out after the break who
38:56won what.
39:09Welcome back.
39:10The machine never ceases to amaze.
39:11We've got a jackpot sandwich on the top shelf.
39:14We need these counters.
39:16Anything on the right, I think we'll bring it down, and then we're in with a shot of winning
39:20the 20,000.
39:20But, we need this.
39:23The question before the break.
39:24Who was the first Australian golfer to win the US Masters Tournament?
39:27Was it Ian Baker-Finch, Cameron Smith or Adam Scott?
39:31As I said to you, they've all won a major championship.
39:34Okay.
39:35You went with Ian Baker-Finch.
39:37Did Finchie win the Masters?
39:44Adam Scott is the only Australian to have won the Masters.
39:48Ian Baker-Finch and Cam Smith.
39:50They both won the Open, the British Open Championship.
39:54Okay.
39:54Okay.
39:55Right.
39:55We're on to the last one.
39:57Yes.
39:57Which was rainforests.
40:00Rainforests.
40:00Okay.
40:00We've got to go for three.
40:02We have to go for three.
40:03Without a doubt.
40:04Let's go.
40:05Right.
40:06Okay.
40:08The largest surviving stretch of temperate rainforest in Australia, the Tarkine, is in which state
40:15or territory?
40:16Hmm.
40:17Queensland, Western Australia or Tasmania?
40:22I want you to read that question thoroughly.
40:24Hmm.
40:24The largest surviving stretch of temperate rainforest in Australia, the Tarkine, is in which state
40:30or territory?
40:31Hmm.
40:33I don't think it is in WA.
40:36Okay.
40:38I've got a feeling it potentially could be in Queensland.
40:43Queensland, I'm just thinking of when we've travelled, we have seen rainforest in Queensland
40:50but not WA and not in Tasmania either.
40:56So I think I'll lock in Queensland only based on that.
41:01Should I light up Queensland?
41:03Yes, please.
41:04Light up Queensland.
41:04Light up Queensland.
41:06The largest surviving stretch of temperate rainforest in Australia, is it in Queensland?
41:15Oh, Tassie.
41:17Temperate was the word.
41:19You used it.
41:19I was hoping you'd pull on it because it's Tasmania.
41:22It is Tasmania.
41:23Yes.
41:23Damn.
41:24Okay.
41:25Well, Amanda, we didn't get those extra counters but you still have $4,100 in your back today.
41:34Now, I want you to go home with that.
41:36The jackpot counter.
41:37You want that?
41:38Me too.
41:38Yes.
41:39Well, then let's play jackpot temptation.
41:41Okay.
41:47You know how it works.
41:48I do.
41:50One offer.
41:52Oh, dear.
41:53You need five.
41:54Yes.
41:55I'm going to increase the value to $40,000.
41:58And I wonder if I could tempt you with this as well.
42:00An all-inclusive holiday for two.
42:02To Vanuatu, including return flights and seven nights at the Irariki Island Resort, valued
42:08at over $8,000 thanks to the holiday package pros at Travel Online.
42:13What about that?
42:14Oh, that sounds very tempting.
42:16Right.
42:16Very tempting.
42:17While you contemplate how tempting that sounds, we're headed to the newsroom.
42:22Amanda, before we went to the newsroom, it was in my mind that you said you wanted to
42:26go to Tahiti.
42:27Yes.
42:28Benawatu.
42:28Yes.
42:29Not far away.
42:30Not far away.
42:30So the perfect little holiday, breakaway.
42:33Five counters.
42:34You're going to need that.
42:35It's one push from getting off the top if you get in the right-hand side.
42:38Yes.
42:39The value at it's $40,000.
42:40But you're going to have to give up the prize money that you've won today.
42:44I can't do a better deal than that, can I?
42:47What do you think?
42:48Oh, dear.
42:50Oh, and you know, maybe there's one other thing I forgot to throw in.
42:55It's over my shoulder.
42:56You get to take me home with you.
42:57Oh, that's...
42:58Yeah, that is the biggest drawcard.
43:02Um, oh, dear.
43:10I think I'll take the money.
43:13I thought you were going to play.
43:14Well, I would, but I'm nervous that it's not going to drop.
43:17Well, let's have one last look at it.
43:18OK.
43:18Everything in front of it is over.
43:21If it goes, it pulls it with it, is what my anticipation is.
43:25Yes.
43:26It's going to flip.
43:26So then you're down.
43:27If you can get that first one there, that'll leave you four more.
43:30I'm just so nervous because it hasn't dropped as well as what I thought today.
43:34That's what I'm nervous about.
43:34So I think I might take the money because then I can get my toy poodle.
43:40Even though I'm terribly upset about it.
43:44Congratulations.
43:45Thank you, Todd.
43:45$4,100.
43:46I did my best and I couldn't get it over the line.
43:49Oh, thank you, Todd.
43:49What a great episode, Amanda.
