00:00It's time to answer questions, win some money and unleash the counter-dropping chaos of our mammoth machine.
00:06Can anyone win our $20,000 jackpot? I'm Todd Woodbridge, let's find out on Tipping Point.
00:32Welcome to Tipping Point, where these three contestants are ready to take on the machine, so let's meet them.
00:37Hi, I'm Barb. I'm an administrator and celebrant from Werribee, where all the beautiful people live.
00:42And if I win the jackpot, I'm going skinny dipping in Antarctica.
00:46I'm Dan, I'm a yachtsman from St Kilda, and I was once sailing a yacht from Melbourne to Adelaide and
00:52nearly got capsized by a pod of humpback whales.
00:55Hi, I'm Danika. I'm a teacher's aide from Queensland. I love exploring the outdoors, and I run an adventure group
01:02for women called Bitches Who Hike.
01:04Oh! I have a feeling this is going to be a good episode. Tell us a little bit more, Danika.
01:11I started the group about a year and a half ago, and I just wanted to find ladies to go
01:15hiking with, and it's grown into a travel and adventure group, and we explore everywhere from our state to international.
01:22Well done. Congratulations to you. Nice work. Good luck today.
01:26Dan, nearly capsized by a pod of humpbacks.
01:29Yes, yes. So sailing at that stage off the coast of South Australia, and we had a group of humpback
01:37whales breaching very, very close to the boat.
01:41So it was a hair-raising experience.
01:43I've got to ask you, because the people at home are going, where's that accent from?
01:46Oh, yes. Well, I'm originally from Kentucky in the US, but I've been down here for a long time.
01:52Great to have you, Dan, on the show. Good luck to you.
01:55And Barb, skinny dipping in Antarctica?
01:57Well, I don't think it's going to matter what you've got on.
01:59No.
02:00It might give those seals a bit of a shock.
02:03We might leave it at that, Barb.
02:05Good luck, everybody. Let's play round one, Bank Builder.
02:13All right, Bank Builder's your chance to build some serious cash, because in this round, every counter that you push
02:19over the tipping point, we're going to put $100 into your bank.
02:21Now, in the round, you'll each start with three counters. If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose
02:26to play one of your counters into the machine, or you could pass to one of your opponents instead, and
02:31they'll play one of their counters.
02:32If you're incorrect or don't answer within three seconds, we have to take a counter away.
02:37And in the machine, you'll see the two double counters. Push those over, and you'll double the value of your
02:42drop, along with the two mystery counters.
02:44Push one of those over, and you'll be going home with a magnificent prize.
02:48Hands on buzzers, please. Here comes your first question.
02:52The mnemonic, Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived, lists the fates of the wives of which king?
02:59Barb?
03:00Henry VIII.
03:00Yeah, well done, Barb. Great start.
03:03Now, do you want to play or not?
03:05I'm going to pass.
03:06Oh!
03:07I'm going to pass to Kentucky.
03:08I love this bit when the tension starts to get going. You're passing to Kentucky, otherwise known as Dan.
03:14Dan, yeah.
03:14Sounds good. Oh, that's great. That's great.
03:18Let's light up drop zone three, please, Todd.
03:21Will do. First drop of the day for Dan. Light her up.
03:29Down she goes. Can we get something off with this first counter?
03:35Ooh.
03:36A bit of strategy by Barb. Looks to have paid off.
03:39Yes.
03:41I'm just going to wait one more push, just in case.
03:45Not to be.
03:46Dan, nothing in the bank for you as we move on to our second question.
03:50In the standard rules of blackjack, what is the minimum number of cards needed to get a hand of 21?
03:56Dan.
03:57Two.
03:57That's correct, Dan. Nice work.
04:01The next question to you is, do you reciprocate the love and pass it back to Barb, or what do
04:06you want to do?
04:06I think I'm going to play, Todd. I'm going to light up drop zone three, please.
04:10Back in it. He goes. Light her up.
04:19Nice.
04:19Okay, let's hope that pushes and just doesn't wrap around to the side.
04:23Get done.
04:24Oh, yeah.
04:26Okay.
04:26This could be good, Dan.
04:28Oh, Dan.
04:30Well done.
04:32Well done.
04:33Well, what a start for Dan. You did a little bit of building, and you got yourself eight over the
04:38tipping point.
04:38Hey, oh, that's great.
04:39That's coming your way.
04:42Let's transfer it from the machine into your bank, and with one counter left to play, Dan, you've got 800.
04:47And the lead. Moving on. Here's the next question.
04:51Made from garden containers, a classic pair of children's TV characters were Bill and Ben, the what men?
04:57Barb.
04:58Plowerpot men.
04:58That's right. It is indeed.
05:02So, what to do now, Barb?
05:03I will play drop zone four, please.
05:06Light up four for Barb. First counter for her to put into the machine.
05:14Now sit down.
05:15Well done.
05:16Good job. It's going to slide along the right-hand wall for you, Barb.
05:24Down she comes.
05:28Nice.
05:29Well done.
05:31Four over the tipping point. $400 for you, Barb.
05:34It goes in.
05:35And let's take it out.
05:37Put it in your bank.
05:40Half Dan's lead.
05:41Dan's got one counter left to play.
05:43Barb has two.
05:44Danika, you've still got all three.
05:45Yeah.
05:45As we move along to the next question.
05:48A common idiom meaning to overextend oneself is to burn the what at both ends.
05:53Dan.
05:54Candle.
05:54There it is, the candle. Yes.
05:57Play this counter, Dan, and you take yourself out of the rest of the round.
06:00I'm going to pass to Danika.
06:02There you go.
06:03OK.
06:03I think I'm just going to go one.
06:05Light it up.
06:06First time over the left-hand side of the machine.
06:13Not mucking around, putting it in to play.
06:18What are you thinking, Danika?
06:19Oh.
06:20Looking good.
06:23Hey, all right.
06:25Happy with that.
06:26Got yourself started.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Free.
06:28For you, $300.
06:30Danika, it goes into the machine.
06:31We're going to whip it out of there, put it in your bank.
06:33Woo.
06:34And Danika, that puts you one behind Barb and five behind Dan as we move along to the next question.
06:41In 2007, which Aussie tennis player applied to trademark the catchphrase, come on?
06:48Barb?
06:49Layton Hewitt.
06:50Yeah.
06:50Come on, Barb.
06:51Come on.
06:55I was down the other end of the court.
06:56You had that one yelled at me a few times, Barb.
06:59Well done to you.
07:00Are you playing this one?
07:01I'm going to play dropped zone three, please.
07:04Light her up.
07:12Okay, that's nice.
07:13It should line up with the black one.
07:17Oh.
07:17Yeah, all right.
07:18This is a big wide push coming.
07:22Oh, I tell you what.
07:24Well done.
07:25That's three.
07:26But have a look at the line that is waiting to come over that tipping point.
07:30So, Barb, 300 goes in.
07:33And when it comes out, you'll be one behind Dan.
07:36This is a good tight round building.
07:38Barb and Dan, you've got one counter left to play.
07:41Danika, behind by a little, but you still have two counters.
07:44Next question.
07:45Will you walk into my parlour?
07:47Is the first line of a classic poem about which eight-legged creature?
07:52Dan.
07:53Spider.
07:53Yes, it is Dan.
07:54Well done.
07:56Let's light up drop zone three, please, Todd.
07:58Okay.
07:58Plenty sitting there for you, Dan.
08:05Well, that's a good spot.
08:07Good job.
08:07Left-hand side, there's a big gap, so you've avoided that.
08:12Come on.
08:17Well done.
08:18You've extended your leg.
08:20Three.
08:20The mystery's sitting there for somebody ready to take.
08:23But in the meantime, let's get 300 in the bank, Dan.
08:28And that's a good start for you.
08:29You've got $1,100.
08:31You need to sit out and see what Barb and Danika can do with the rest of their counters.
08:36Next question.
08:37Derived from an old French word meaning Turkish, is the name of what blue-green gemstone?
08:43Barb?
08:46Turquoise.
08:47Yes, it is.
08:48Yes, it is.
08:49Woo!
08:50I had a moment then.
08:52Just got it in.
08:53I will play and I will go four, please.
08:57Ooh, okay.
08:58Light up four.
09:00Two mysteries in play.
09:02One's closer and that one was in three.
09:06Oh, nice.
09:07You might get both of them in one go, Barb.
09:09Oh, I'm looking for a...
09:12Oh, well done.
09:20You're almost pissed.
09:21Yes!
09:25I thought that the other mystery would go and instead the left one went...
09:28I forgot to tell you, Todd, that I've got a relationship with the machine.
09:31Do you?
09:31Yes, we're talking to each other.
09:34Some people say I'm mad when I talk to the machine.
09:37You've got yourself half a dozen plus the mystery.
09:40Thank you very much.
09:40So let's get the money in your bank.
09:41$600 goes up.
09:43We're going to move that over, Barb.
09:44And you've got the lead with $1,300.
09:47Two counters in front of Dan.
09:49But also, you can fire up the flavour and serve restaurant-quality pizza in 60 seconds
09:55with a wet pizza oven featuring dual burners and a rotating pizza stone.
10:00It's valued at over $1,400.
10:03Thank you very much.
10:07OK, Barb's out, Dan's out.
10:09Danika, it's only down to you.
10:11So you've got two counters left to play.
10:13Now, you don't need to buzz in, but you do need to answer in three seconds.
10:16OK.
10:16So here's the second last question for you.
10:19Watercolour is a common technique in which form of visual art?
10:22Painting.
10:23Correct.
10:23You've got the first one right.
10:26Where can you find some money here?
10:28What do you think, Dad?
10:29Four.
10:30Four?
10:31Four?
10:31That says four.
10:32OK, I'm going to go drop zone four.
10:34Always good advice to listen to the dad, especially if he needs to pay a couple of extra bills for
10:39you.
10:40He will.
10:41Light up four.
10:49Nice.
10:50Nice drop.
10:50Good drop.
10:51Could be a mystery coming.
10:52That nudges a little to the right, which it does.
10:55Well done.
10:57Very good.
10:58Come on.
11:00Well done.
11:02Well done.
11:03Dad's name's Kenny.
11:04Good on you, Kenny.
11:05All right, mate.
11:06Listen to you, Dad.
11:07All right.
11:08Four came over the tipping point.
11:10So it's $400, including a mystery counter.
11:12But let's do the finance part of the transaction.
11:15You've got yourself $700.
11:17So now four behind Dan.
11:19But how about this?
11:21You'll always have room for dessert with this gelato expert from Magimix.
11:25Made in Italy with a built-in freezer and commercial-grade features.
11:29It's valued at $1,400.
11:34Definitely not mad about that.
11:36OK.
11:37Danika.
11:37Yes.
11:38You've got one left.
11:39When you get another good drop, it is going to be fun in the next round.
11:43Yeah.
11:43Here is the final question for you.
11:45The name of what famous mountain in the Alps roughly translates as the peak in the meadows?
11:54Not sure.
11:56It was the Matterhorn.
11:57Oh.
11:58All right.
11:59Unfortunately, that means I've got to take that counter away from you, Danika.
12:03But you are still within touch.
12:05And at the end of our bank builder round, you've got $700.
12:09Dan has $1,100.
12:11And Barb, you've got the lead with $1,300.
12:16So stick around, everybody, to see who can survive in our big fire round, which is coming
12:20up next on Timming Point.
12:35Welcome back, everyone, to Timming Point.
12:37Barb, Dan, and Danika are battling it out.
12:38One of them is going to have a chance to play for $20,000.
12:42But to do that, we need to play Quickfire.
12:49All right.
12:50In Quickfire, you'll need to have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
12:53For every correct answer, I give you a counter to play into the machine.
12:56The contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round is leaving the game.
13:01So, Barb, two-counter lead in front of Dan.
13:03Dan, four counters in front of Danika.
13:06Barb, would you like to play first?
13:08Yes.
13:08Straight to it.
13:09Me and the machine.
13:10Got it.
13:10You and the machine.
13:12And 30 seconds goes on the clock for you.
13:14Your time starts now.
13:17In what Summer Olympic sport do competitors wear masks made of fine wire mesh?

13:44Cabaret.
13:46Chicago.
13:46Chicago.
13:47Sweet.
13:47Well, you knew a couple of those two, didn't you?
13:50Two for you to play, Barb.
13:53I'm aiming for five.
13:54Well, you've got two.
13:55That's not bad.
13:56You've got the lead.
13:57You need to make it work for yourself, though.
13:59Okay.
14:00Where should she go?
14:03All right.
14:04We'll go drop zone two.
14:05The people said two.
14:06Light it up.
14:09Come on, beautiful machine.
14:13You know.
14:14You know you've got it.
14:15You can do this for me, my love.
14:16This is our first time in for two.
14:20Oh, no.
14:22It's all right.
14:23It's all right.
14:23We're just getting it all ready.
14:25We've got this thing going on.
14:26You've got family.
14:27What are they saying?
14:28Two.
14:28I have no choice.
14:31Drop zone two.
14:32Light it up again.
14:33You've done the building.
14:34Can you get the payday?
14:37Come on, you beautiful thing.
14:42Oh, no.
14:44This is a rider.
14:45It's a Winona.
14:48Oh.
14:50Oh.
14:52Mm, Barb.
14:53It looks like you've lost the connection.
14:57Yeah.
14:57Yeah, that's okay.
14:59No money to transfer at the end of your quick fire.
15:01So you've still got the lead, 1,300.
15:03But Dan's feeling a little better about everything here.
15:06I am tired.
15:07Going to play this one?
15:08I'm going to play it.
15:09Let's put 30 seconds on the clock for you.
15:11Let's do it.
15:12Your time starts now.

15:45Down.
15:47Three for you.
15:48All right.
15:48Okay.
15:49Okay.
15:49So, as things stand, Dan, you're two behind Barb.
15:53You could guarantee yourself a place in the next round with one good drop here.
15:57Where do you want the first one to go?
15:59I think I'm going to go for uptown two.
16:02Light up two.
16:03This is where Barb did all the building.
16:08Nice.
16:09Nice.
16:09Very nice.
16:12Nice.
16:12That's going to wrap around to the right slightly.
16:15Uh-oh.
16:16No.
16:17Okay.
16:18You've still got two more.
16:19We're going to go back to drop zone two.
16:22Light it up.
16:30Perfect.
16:30Yeah, okay.
16:31Okay.
16:33That's going to wrap around the right-hand side, too, but they're coming on down.
16:36Well done.
16:47An avalanche of counters.
16:51Well, you're home and hosed into the next round, Dan.
16:53No doubt about that.
16:54It's ten.
16:55Hey, all right.
16:56Okay.
16:57That's $1,000 coming your way.
17:00Well done, Dan.
17:01We'll leave it there.
17:03Where's the last counter going to go?
17:05It's got drops on one, please.
17:06Slide her up.
17:10Beat here just once.
17:14Okay.
17:16We'll get something off the top for sure.
17:19Okay.
17:20Yep.
17:20Yep.
17:24Another one.
17:25One in, one out.
17:27So another hundred goes up into the machine.
17:301,100 comes out and you double your score, Dan.
17:342,200.
17:36Nice work by you.
17:37You're through.
17:38Danika, Barb is who you are chasing down.
17:42Seven would get you through.
17:43Okay.
17:44Your 30 seconds goes on the clock.
17:45And your time starts now.
17:49In 1893, engineer George Ferris Jr. unveiled what fairground attraction?

18:13Correct.
18:13The logo of the Microsoft-owned website MSN features which flying insect?
18:18Uh, fly.
18:20Butterfly.
18:21Yeah.
18:23All right.
18:24You got that.
18:26You've got a single opportunity, Danika.
18:28Where can you find six to tie or seven to go through?
18:33Two will go through.
18:34Light her up.
18:36Good luck.
18:42In a good position.
18:44That's great.
18:45It's going to be tight, I think.
18:48No.
18:49Yeah.
18:50Okay.
18:51Okay.
18:51What's going to happen?
18:52Come on.
18:54No.
18:57Oh, Barb.
18:58The connection's back.
19:01I'm sorry, Dee.
19:02That's okay.
19:03Danika, unfortunately, I've got nothing to add into your bank.
19:06And at the end of our quickfire round, Barb's got $1,300.
19:10Dan's got himself in the lead with $2,200.
19:13And with only $700, Danika, unfortunately, we've found your tipping point.
19:17That's okay.
19:20You're not going home empty-handed, of course.
19:22You've got the gelato maker, so you've got something sweet to remember us by.
19:27It's been wonderful having you on the show.
19:28Thanks so much.
19:29Thanks, Kenny, for joining us as well.
19:31And so, after the break, Barb and Dan are going to find it out.
19:35They're going head-to-head.
19:36Who will go on to play for our $20,000 jackpot?
19:38We'll find out next on Tipping Point.
19:53Oh, welcome back, everyone.
19:55Barb and Dan, they're about to go head-to-head.
19:58One is going to play for our jackpot worth $20,000.
20:01Before we get into that, though, Barb, I want to ask you about your job as a celebrant.
20:06Well, I've been a celebrant for about three years.
20:08I do everything, bar mitzvahs, you name it, name givings.
20:10But I mainly focus on funerals, believe it or not.
20:14Funerals are very fulfilling because you're helping people with a very hard time of their lives.
20:17That's a very nice way to put it.
20:19Give a wave to your support crew that are with you today.
20:22Yeah, thank you very much.
20:22It's Molly, your daughter, including.
20:24Molly, and my two friends, Billy and Linda.
20:26Hi, guys.
20:27Welcome.
20:29And Dan, talking about jobs, a sailor.
20:32Yeah, I'm a sailor, so I deliver yachts around the coast of Australia, do a bit of hull scrubbing and...
20:39A bit of what?
20:39Hull scrubbing.
20:41Really?
20:42On, uh...
20:43Hull.
20:44Hull.
20:44Hull.
20:45Hull.
20:45Are they, uh...
20:46I thought, I've never heard anybody scrubbing holes before.
20:50Now I'm with you.
20:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:53And you've got your partner here, too.
20:54Yeah, my lovely Mrs. Janja.
20:56G'day, Janja.
20:57How are you?
20:57Hi, dude.
20:58How are you?
20:59He's going along nicely today.
21:01He's doing pretty good.
21:02Yeah, he's doing very well indeed.
21:04Should we get going?
21:05Absolutely.
21:05Let's do it.
21:06Let's play Head to Head.
21:10In this round, you'll each be asked two questions, answer correctly, you get the counter to play
21:14in the machine, get it wrong, your opponent steals that counter.
21:18If you're unsure, you can ask your opponent to answer that question.
21:22Dan, you have the lead and you're going to receive the first question.
21:26Here it is.
21:28Perth is geographically closest to which other Australian capital city?
21:34Now, pass or play?
21:35I'll play...
21:37I think it's Adelaide.
21:40Barb?
21:41Could be Darwin.
21:42We'll find out.
21:43Perth is geographically closest to which other Australian capital city?
21:48Dan, you said Adelaide.
21:51That's correct.
21:55Have you sailed from Adelaide to Perth?
21:58Never sailed from Adelaide to Perth, but I've sailed from Adelaide to Melbourne and vice
22:03versa.
22:04So Perth's on the list.
22:06Right.
22:06Where are you going to put this first counter?
22:09I think let's go with drop zone number two, please, Todd.
22:13Yeah, all right.
22:14Light it up.
22:15Light it up.
22:21Down she goes.
22:22There's a bit of gap at the front there in drop zone two.
22:26Oh, okay.
22:28Nothing from that.
22:29So that keeps Barb in it.
22:31Barb, you're still nine counters behind.
22:33So it could change for you now if you get this question correct.
22:35Here's your first one.
22:38Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles make up which cartoon superhero trio?
22:44Pass or play?
22:45I'm going to pass that one.
22:47Righto, Dan.
22:48Any idea?
22:49That's going to be a total stab in the dark for me.
22:52So I'm going to, let's see, trio My Little Pony.
23:03Yeah.
23:05Let's find out.
23:06Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles.
23:08Were they in My Little Pony?
23:12No.
23:12Not a bad stab, though.
23:14It's the Powerpuff Girls.
23:16Oh, okay.
23:17Powerpuff Girls.
23:17Yeah, I never would have got that.
23:18No.
23:18Okay, Barb, nice pass by you.
23:20So, can you close the gap a little here?
23:23I'm going to go drop zone one, please.
23:24Light it up.
23:25All the way to the left.
23:36Come on, machine.
23:37Come on, Gertie.
23:39Gertie.
23:40Oh, no, no, no, no.
23:41Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:41Oh, you got it.
23:42You got it.
23:42Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
23:44Nice.
23:47Inch by inch by inch.
23:48Nice work, Bub.
23:49Four over the tipping point.
23:51400 goes into the machine.
23:52Let's take it out of there.
23:54And that now gives you 1,700.
23:57And we're going to be back after the break to see whether you can close that five-counter
24:01lead that Dan has.
24:02Who will play for the $20,000 jackpot?
24:04You're going to have to stick around right here on Tipping Point to find out.
24:20Welcome back to Tipping Point.
24:21Bub and Dan are going at it.
24:23Who will go on to play for our $20,000?
24:24We're going to find out in these next two questions.
24:26Dan, this next question's yours.
24:28Great.
24:30Between 1984 and 1994, which Ukrainian-born athlete broke $35,000?
24:37Five world records for pole vaulting.
24:40Pass or play?
24:41I think I'm going to pass that one to Barb.
24:45Barb.
24:46Oh, dear Lord.
24:47I don't know the answer to that.
24:50Well, give me something.
24:52Give me something.
24:53Yelena Dockich, which we know she's not Ukrainian and she plays tennis,
24:57but I have no idea of any...
25:00Once you say her name, I'm absolutely going to kick myself.
25:03Okay.
25:03Did you have any idea at all, Dan?
25:05That's a better guess than I would have come up with.
25:08Well, between 1984 and 94...
25:11Did Yelena Dockich break 35 world records for pole vaulting?
25:19Oh, no.
25:20I can't believe it.
25:23It was Sergei Bubka, the pole vault.
25:25Oh, Sergei.
25:26Sergei, yeah.
25:28Okay.
25:28Good pass by you, Dan.
25:30Thank you, Dan.
25:30What can you do with it?
25:31We're going to go drop zone two, please.
25:32Light her up.
25:33Drop zone two.
25:42Come on.
25:43Okay.
25:46Come on.
25:47There's a couple leaning up the top.
25:52Right.
25:53Two more.
25:54Two more.
25:54Two hundred dollars extends your lead to seven as we take it out and put that into your bank.
26:00So, two thousand four hundred.
26:03For you, Bub, you have to make this counter yours and you have to find seven to tie Dan.
26:09Here's your final question and opportunity.
26:12Laurence Olivier, Matthew McFadden and Colin Firth have all played which literary mister on screen?
26:21Pass or play?
26:23I'm going to pass.
26:25All right, Dan.
26:26Thank you, Barb.
26:27You can slam the door shut here if you get it right.
26:31Literary mister.
26:32I'm just going to go with William Shakespeare.
26:35Okay.
26:36Barb?
26:36It's one of Jane Austen's.
26:38It's a, yeah, mister, um, mister.
26:42I still don't know his name, but I know who it is.
26:45We're all so close.
26:47Let's find out, Dan, if it's Mr. William Shakespeare.
26:52No, but Barb was on the right track.
26:55It was Mr. Darcy.
26:57Mr. Darcy.
26:58Of course it was Mr. Darcy.
26:59Yes.
27:01So, Barb, you have your opportunity.
27:03You need to find seven to tie.
27:06Eight would get you through.
27:07To me, it looks like there's only one area that you could possibly go.
27:10Come on, Barb.
27:11Okay, drop down two, please.
27:13It has to be.
27:14Light it up.
27:25It's riding.
27:26Will it push anything off?
27:29No.
27:31Oh, well.
27:32We'll just wait it out a bit, because they've nudged a fair way over.
27:35Come on.
27:41So close, but yet so far with the rider.
27:44So, no money to transfer, and that means at the end of our head-to-head round, Dan, with
27:492,400, you're safe.
27:51And Barb, with only 1,700, unfortunately, we've found your tipping points.
27:56Oh, good.
27:57Thank you, Dan.
27:58Well done.
27:58You did a great day.
27:59Don't forget, Barb, you're not going home empty-handed.
28:02No.
28:02So, you've got that pizza oven.
28:04Yep.
28:04I hope you get the trip to Antarctica.
28:05Me too.
28:06And great having you on this show.
28:07Thank you so much.
28:08Thank you very much.
28:09And so, Dan, this is what you're going to be playing for, the jackpot counter.
28:14It's worth $20,000, and we're going to find out whether Dan can master our machine and take
28:19home those big bucks right after the break.
28:38Dan, today's winner, 2,400 sitting in the bank, going along nicely.
28:43We've talked about your accent, and you said you were from the States.
28:46What brought you to Australia originally, then?
28:49A girl originally.
28:50Oh, that always is the case.
28:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:52How long ago was that?
28:542011, I think it was.
28:55Okay.
28:56Was Jenya that girl?
28:57Well, everything works out like it's supposed to.
29:01Oh.
29:01That's what I've got to say about that.
29:05And, Jenya, may I ask, what attracted you to Dan?
29:08Well, of course, I noticed the accent straight away.
29:11Yes.
29:11Hard not to.
29:13And the money.
29:14What would you do with it?
29:14I'd like to take Jenya to Japan.
29:17She and I have always wanted to go to Tokyo.
29:20Or we might go to Kakadu National Park in the outback.
29:24Okay.
29:24They're two very different options.
29:26Yeah, we've got options, though.
29:28If I win the jackpot, that'll be enough to do both of those things.
29:31Let's see if we can make it happen.
29:32You ready?
29:32I'm ready to work.
29:33Come on, let's play the jackpot round.
29:37Fantastic.
29:39All right, time to put the jackpot counter into the machine.
29:41Push it back out.
29:42There's your $20,000.
29:43But if you could get it out with one of those doubles that are still sitting in there,
29:47that becomes $40,000.
29:48What are you thinking?
29:49I think I'm going to play drop zone one.
29:51Okay, like that.
29:53Then let him light it up and get the jackpot counter into play.
29:59Come on, down she goes.
30:01Come on, get flat.
30:02Nice.
30:03Happy with that position?
30:04I'm happy with that.
30:06If it shuffles a little left.
30:07A little left.
30:08Yeah, there you go.
30:09Against the wall.
30:10That's a nice spot, generally.
30:12So every counter worth 100, no matter when it comes over in this round.
30:16So everything is locked and loaded nicely.
30:18Let's find out what five categories you're going to play today.
30:21You'll be playing music, mythology, board games, birds and bodies.
30:27Okay.
30:27Now, you can play one, two or three.
30:30The more you play for, the harder that question is going to be.
30:33Where would you like to start and for how many, Dan?
30:35I think we're going to run the board, Todd.
30:38And I'd like to do three.
30:41Three it is.
30:41So we'll go top to bottom.
30:44Okay.
30:44Good luck.
30:45Here's the first question.
30:47Which Australian group has performed over 2,000 shows as Las Vegas resident headliners?
30:54Is it Savage Garden, Five Seconds of Summer or Human Nature?
30:59I am not entirely sure about this, but Human Nature is jumping out at me.
31:08I think I'm going to light up Human Nature, please.
31:11Light up Human Nature.
31:13As Human Nature performed over 2,000 shows in Las Vegas.
31:19You are a true Aussie, aren't you?
31:21All right.
31:22He's riding on it.
31:24Impressive.
31:25Well, let's get this jackpot journey started.
31:28We're obviously lighting up drop zone one.
31:30We are.
31:30And we want them all to go left.
31:31We do.
31:32Light her up.
31:33Come on, Dan.
31:37Come on, man.
31:41Will it shuffle it a little bit?
31:43A little bit.
31:43Kind of.
31:44Not really.
31:45But you will get some cash.
31:46We start building the bank.
31:49Right.
31:50Well, there we go.
31:52Three over.
31:53That gives you 2,700.
31:55And we've got two counters left to play.
31:57Light her up again.
32:03Come on, Dan.
32:03Come on.
32:04Yeah.
32:05Yeah.
32:06Yeah.
32:06All right.
32:07There we go.
32:08We've got it moving.
32:10Shuffle on down to the front.
32:12Nice work.
32:13Okay.
32:14Let's clear out the way.
32:17Dripping over they are.
32:19Nice.
32:20Two more.
32:212,900 dollars.
32:23Getting close to 3K.
32:24But what would be great?
32:25One more left and get it down in this first bracket would be fantastic.
32:29Light her up again.
32:32Left.
32:33All the way left.
32:35Come on.
32:36Slide hard.
32:37Not quite.
32:38Not quite.
32:39That much.
32:41Ooh, no.
32:42It nudged it ever so slightly.
32:45Let's clean up the right-hand side with money there.
32:47Yeah.
32:47Moving along.
32:48Okay.
32:49Two more.
32:50So let's put that into the bank.
32:513,100 is sitting in there.
32:54Out of counters and let's go back to categories.
32:56Okay.
32:57So you said working the board from top to bottom.
32:59Yes.
32:59It is 3 all the way.
33:00It is 3 all the way.
33:02Mythology.
33:024-3.
33:03You good with mythology?
33:04I'd like to think so, but we'll soon find out.
33:07We'll test you.
33:08In Greek mythology, Morpheus is a god of what?
33:12Sleep and dreams, rivalry and competition, or song and dance?
33:18I think I know this one.
33:20I'm going to light up sleep and dreams, please.
33:24Slide her up.
33:24Sleep and dreams.
33:26Is Morpheus a god of sleep and dreams?
33:31Sure is.
33:32All right.
33:33Okay.
33:35Okay.
33:37Another three to play.
33:38Let's get something on the left-hand side.
33:40Light her up again.
33:41Drop zone one.
33:44Come on.
33:45Come on, Dan.
33:48No.
33:48Okay.
33:49That's not what we want.
33:50Not what we wanted, no.
33:53Get a little something to build.
33:55You should be able to clean a bit of money.
33:57Come on.
33:58No, it's just filling gas.
33:59All right.
34:00There's a lot of money sitting on the lower shelf.
34:02There is.
34:02Let's go back there.
34:03Second counter.
34:04Light up one again, please.
34:05Come on.
34:06Let's get going.
34:07Let's get that building.
34:11Oh, no.
34:13It's a rider.
34:14It is riding.
34:15It's a rider.
34:19Okay.
34:20That was the right position.
34:22Right spot.
34:23We've got one more opportunity.
34:24We've got one more.
34:25Light it up.
34:28Come on, Dan.
34:33And we've got the jackpot peering over that top shelf.
34:55But we need more counters to move it.
34:57So let's go back to the board.
34:58Board games.
35:00Board games for three.
35:01The board and board games.
35:03Dan, which popular board game was created by two Canadians in 1979?
35:09Trouble?
35:10Trivial pursuit?
35:11Or tipping point?
35:13Gee.
35:14I, uh, I'm not sure on this one, but I bet it starts with a T.
35:20Um, I'm going to go with trivial pursuit, please.
35:23Light up trivial pursuit.
35:25No tipping point?
35:26Oh, yeah.
35:27I'll play tipping point with you, Todd.
35:30All right.
35:31Did two Canadians come up with the popular board game Trivial Pursuit back in 1979?
35:39Yeah, we've got another piece of pie to put in our puzzle right here.
35:44Great work.
35:45Okay.
35:46Oh, go again.
35:47What was that?
35:48Yeah!
35:50How about that?
35:52Light up draw zone one.
35:53Come on, let's get that down after that.
35:56Come on.
36:00Sit, sit, sit.
36:01Okay.
36:02All right.
36:03It might get a little lateral here.
36:05It might lateral a bit.
36:06Yeah.
36:07Not quite.
36:07Not enough.
36:08That rider has made it a bit heavy.
36:11Yeah.
36:12All right.
36:12Honey, though.
36:13Excellent.
36:14That's four more.
36:15So we're edging closer to 4K now.
36:17$3,900 sits in the bank.
36:20Nice.
36:20We're about due, though, for something to go all the way to the left.
36:23We are.
36:24Let's get the second one in.
36:26Light it up.
36:28Come on.
36:29Come on.
36:31Go, go, go.
36:32Yeah.
36:33Yeah.
36:33All right.
36:33It's coming on down.
36:34Here we go.
36:36Now keep filling the gaps up with folks.
36:39Don't you do it.
36:40No.
36:41Oh, okay.
36:42Good morning.
36:43Good morning.
36:45Right next to that double, too, isn't it?
36:48Two came over.
36:49You're over 4K.
36:50$4,100.
36:51But as you said, it's now learned itself up with the double.
36:55So we've got potentially $40,000 sitting in play.
36:59We do.
36:59Okay.
37:00Got one more.
37:01Let's see if we can nudge it closer to the front.
37:03Light her up, please.
37:07Come on.
37:08Here we go, man.
37:09Come on.
37:11Okay.
37:12Yeah, we could get a little something.
37:13We could.
37:14What is it going to do?
37:17All right.
37:19It's going to go in between both of them.
37:21All right.
37:21Get a little.
37:22Okay.
37:23Okay.
37:23Okay.
37:25We're right up against the wall.
37:26Doubles over to the right.
37:28And two came over the tipping point.
37:30So $4,300.
37:31This is starting to get pretty serious here now.
37:34As we're out of counters and we go back to the category board.
37:39Moving on down.
37:40We've got two left to play.
37:41The next is birds.
37:43Birds for three.
37:46Can we get three more to play?
37:48Which bird is an official state emblem of Victoria?
37:53Isn't it the helmeted honey eater, the tufted titmouse, or the hoary puff leg?
38:01Hmm.
38:04I am not familiar with any of those birds.
38:09But the helmeted honey eater is standing out to me for some reason.
38:15So I'm going to light up the helmeted honey eater, please.
38:17We're going to light it up.
38:19You didn't like the titmouse or the puff leg?
38:22Yeah, yeah.
38:22I don't know if I want to see either one of those on TV.
38:26No, you might be right.
38:27But, Dan, we're not going to find out until after the break.
38:30Hopefully, you're a step closer to that $20,000 jackpot.
38:33Stay with us.
38:47Welcome back here to Tipping Point.
38:48Dan's playing beautifully today.
38:50$4,300 sitting in the bank.
38:52We've answered all questions correctly.
38:54Before we get to finding out whether you're correct on this one, everybody at home is
38:58going, can he give us the forest gum?
39:00My mum always said life was like a box of chocolates.
39:03You never know what you're going to get.
39:07We never know.
39:08That's for sure.
39:09You never know what you're going to get.
39:10Well, let's hope that you've got this right.
39:13Before the break, the question to you was, which bird is an official state emblem of Victoria?
39:17And you said, light up, helmeted honey eater.
39:20Is that correct?
39:24Sure is.
39:26Four from four.
39:29Now, realistically, we could get it done here.
39:31I could get it done in three.
39:33Three on the left in your home and host with $20,000.
39:36Light up top zone one.
39:37Come on, Dan.
39:41Get there.
39:42Get there.
39:42Get there.
39:45Okay, it's going to split the difference between one and two.
39:51Come on, go over.
39:55Okay.
39:56One.
39:58$4,400.
40:01Everything's loaded up the top.
40:03Light up one again, please.
40:07Left-hand side.
40:13Not that tight.
40:14Not that tight.
40:15The other left.
40:17Down it goes.
40:18Come on, come on.
40:19All right, let's build the bank.
40:20See if we can get over 5K.
40:23Getting close.
40:24Three more.
40:25$4,700 is sitting in the bank.
40:30Let's use this last one of this category as best we can.
40:33Left side.
40:34Light her up.
40:34Come on, everybody.
40:43Not ideal, Dan.
40:44Not ideal, mate.
40:46Come on.
40:48Get some money, though.
40:49You might get rid of the double here, perhaps.
40:53Not yet.
40:53Oh, not yet.
40:54Not yet.
40:55So it's two more.
40:57$4,900.
40:58Nothing went on the left-hand side, and we're going to need this final three if we're going
41:02to nudge it over the tipping point.
41:04Yeah.
41:04So let's see if we can get the clean sweep.
41:06Four from four.
41:07Can you make it five from five?
41:10Bodies is the final category.
41:12You said you're playing for three.
41:14Yes.
41:15Fingers crossed.
41:18Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive what?
41:22Is it hiccuping, sweating, or sneezing?
41:26I'm not sure on this one either, but I am going to light up sweating.
41:31Light up sweating.
41:31If you're not sure, why did you choose it?
41:35Sneezing just didn't sound right to me, and I think I've heard a different term for excessive
41:40hiccups.
41:41So, process of elimination.
41:43Nice work.
41:44We'll find out if hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating.
41:51It is.
41:54Hydro is that link in the middle of it.
41:57All right.
41:58Okay.
41:59We're looking good here.
42:00You've got the final three counters to play.
42:02You've had a clean sweep of the board.
42:04Let's put the first one in.
42:06Light her up.
42:07Come on, Dan.
42:14Okay.
42:15That might sort of give a little actual.
42:18Not quite.
42:20Not quite.
42:22Come on.
42:23But you've got plenty of money.
42:25Hey, all right.
42:26And I actually like it.
42:27It clears the way as we get down below.
42:30There's no extra weight to stop the jackpot counter moving on forward.
42:34Eight, including the double.
42:35Hey, all right.
42:36Gives you 1,600 to go in there.
42:38And all of a sudden, boom, six and a half grand.
42:41Go, Dan.
42:42Nice.
42:43We don't want that, though.
42:44We want the bigger butt.
42:45No, yeah, yeah.
42:45I want the jackpot.
42:46Let's make it happen.
42:47This is the last two to put in.
42:49Light it up.
42:49Come on, Dan.
42:51Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.
42:53Flip, flip, flip, flip.
42:55Left, go down.
42:57Go.
42:59Sit left.
43:00Push itself down.
43:01Come on down.
43:04Forward you come.
43:11One came over.
43:12We weren't really focused on that.
43:13It gives you $6,600.
43:16There is a little gap between the jackpot and the tipping point.
43:19I wonder if the one push is going to be enough.
43:22It's going to be close.
43:22But before we put that Mars counter into the machine, we're heading to the newsroom.
43:29Dan, before we went to the newsroom, things are looking pretty for you.
43:32You've got $6,600 sitting in the bank, but you're one push away potentially from going home with the $20
43:38,000 jackpot.
43:39You ready to play it?
43:40Let's play.
43:41See if we can get it done with this final counter.
43:44Light it up for Dan, please.
43:45Come on.
43:47Come on, Dan.
43:48Come on.
43:49You can do it.
43:50Left, left, left, left, left.
43:54Oh, it's nearly right.
43:56It nearly right.
43:56Come on, now just shuffle left.
44:00Oh, yeah.
44:01Come on.
44:02Come on, Dan.
44:03Come on.
44:05Yes.
44:12What a play.
44:14Thanks, babe.
44:14Congratulations.
44:15That's awesome.
44:21Come on in here.
44:22The pair are you well done.
44:24It ends up like, it's like a box of chocolate.
44:26You never know what you're going to get.
44:28$20,000 richer.
44:30You did great, didn't you?
44:32I hope it does.
44:34It's been fantastic having you on the show.
44:36You had a great day?
44:37I had an absolute fantastic day.
44:40You've got the trip to Japan and maybe Kakadu to go as well.
44:43Well done.
44:44Daniel, thanks for coming on.
44:46Well done to you.
44:46And thanks for watching at home.
44:48And join us next time when three new contestants light up their luck on tipping point.
44:52Woo!
44:53Well done.
45:03Thanks for having me here.
45:03Bye.
45:04Thanks, babe.
45:05Bye.
