00:57team that won 36 weeks in a row. Oh gee Adam set the tone early to the other two
01:05haven't you? Yeah but if this isn't just about trivia there's a bit of luck
01:08involved too. Yeah there is. Alright well good luck today as you said a bit of luck
01:12is required as well. Lee you've already booked your trip. Just yesterday. Just

01:45underway. We're going to play round one Bank Builder.
01:53Alright Bank Builder is your chance to put as much money into the bank as you
01:57possibly can. Every counter that you push over that tipping point $100 goes into
02:01your bank and in the round you each start with three counters. Now if you buzz in
02:05and answer correctly you can choose to play one of your counters or you could ask
02:09one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead. If you answer incorrectly or
02:13don't answer within three seconds then I'll have to take a counter away. And in
02:17the machine on the top shelf you'll see the two double counters. Push those over
02:21to double the value of your drop along with the two mystery counters that are
02:24on the bottom there today. Push those over and you're guaranteed a fantastic
02:27price. So it is time. Hands on buzzers please. Here comes the first question.

02:39lyric from the theme song to its 60s sitcom. Woo. Okay. That was good. Everybody was bang
02:45on it. Adam what are you going to do with the first counter? I think I'll pass it on.
02:49Oh okay. I'll pass it to Lee. He's so kind. Well Lee think of it this way. You didn't have
02:55to get one
02:55right and now you've got a chance for some money. Okay. Let's go to drop zone four
02:59Todd. Light up drop zone four. Here we go. Good luck Lee. Thank you. First stop of the day.

03:18Will it push? Will it push? Yeah. Come on. Come on. Get these encounters. Spread a little bit.
03:25Yay. Stop it. Yeah. There you go. Half a dozen. What a start. Machine looks like it's in a good
03:33mood.

05:16A couple. Cool. All right. Very nice. That's a start.
05:20So, that's 200, Adam. It'll go into the machine. We won't leave it there for long. We'll take
05:24it out. Put that into your bank. And with two counters left to play, you're four behind Lee.
05:29Lee, you've got a counter. Adam, two. Tom, with all three still. Next question.

05:43But that is correct. Well done. I'm going to play. Okay. And I'll go drop zone three. Light it up.

06:17200. Let's get it out. Add it again. Adam, you've got 400 with a counter left. Now, two behind Lee.
06:24How are you going, Tom? They're too quick for me, Todd. They're quick. You know the answers, though.
06:28Yeah, lucky. Well, that's all right. Some. Next question.
06:33Name for an English county. What sauce is a... Tom? Worcestershire? Yeah, well done.
06:40What sauce is a traditional ingredient in a Bloody Mary? There was a lot of question to go.
06:45I was actually born in Worcestershire. No way. I'm going to kill me if I got that wrong.
06:48Is that right? That is incredible. All right. You need to find some money.
06:53I do. I do. Now you get on the board. Um...
06:57Yeah, let's light a three. Three it is. Light it up.
07:06How's that going to sit? Oh, nice. That's good. If you can get a couple off the top and they
07:10spread,
07:10this could be a huge drop. If... Oh, no. Joking. Bad luck, Tom. All good.
07:17Next question. Which of the four gas giants in our solar system has an English name that begins
07:23with a vowel? Tom? Uranus? It is. Good job.
07:30Put all the hard work in. Let's see if I can reap the rewards and go drop zone three.
07:34Sounds like a plan. Light it up.
07:41Yeah. It's all right. It's all right. It's... The main thing is to get something off the top.
07:45Yeah. Hopefully. Go. Come on. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
07:50Hang in there. Surely. Yeah, surely. Drop down.
07:53Coming back, it'll come up. That's so close. Yeah.
07:56It's tilting. Oh. Wow.
07:59That's brutal. Out of play, Tom. No worries.
08:02Right. You've got one counter left, as does Lee and Adam. Every answer critical coming
08:07with these next few questions. A 1968 hit for Marvin Gaye was titled,
08:12I Heard It Through The Wire. Lee? The grapevine. That's correct.
08:19Line up. Got zone three, Tom, please. Three it is.
08:27So loaded. Just needs anything. Oh, yeah. That's lined up pretty well.
08:30Has it? Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be three come off.
08:34Yeah, two, nine. Oh, it's still a sticky.
08:38Going to get a few. Nice. Oh, wow.
08:41That's one dangling. Wow. Okay. That's tough.
08:45You've got yourself two. 200's coming your way, Lee. So in the end, you're going to have $800. Yay.
08:52Okay, not bad. You've got a four-counter, Lee.
08:55So Lee, you need to sit out. Two counters left to play. Second last question of the round is this.
09:02In 2025, Joe Montemuro was appointed coach of which Australian women's sports team?
09:08Adam. The Matildas?
09:09That is the Matildas, yes. Let's light it up. Let's go for drop zones.
09:15All right. No mucking around, Adam. Light it up.
09:21That just didn't even hit a pin on its way down.
09:27Might be a gap filler here.
09:29Oh, my goodness.
09:30There is so much cash sitting there.
09:33I want it. You want it.
09:35You're going to have to hold on, Lee. I know.
09:38Because Tom's got the last opportunity. If you get it right, Tom, it could be a good end of the
09:42round for you. Hopefully.
09:43Right. No need to buzz in, but you do need to give an answer and you have three seconds to
09:47do it.
09:47Final question of the round.
09:49In a series of films in the 30s and 40s, actor Johnny Weissmuller played what jungle hero?
09:57Tarzan? Correct.
10:02Very nice. That was well before my time, but...
10:06Hey, hey, Tom. It was well before all of our time, just so you know.
10:10If you say so, Todd. If you say so.
10:13Let's light up drop zone three, please.
10:14Light it up. This is big.
10:22Come on.
10:23Oh, that's a good drop this time.
10:25Sure, only something comes off.
10:26It has to be nice to me now.
10:28Come on, more.
10:30Here you go, Tom.
10:34Still not as much as I thought.
10:37I tell you what, I thought there was more than that coming over.
10:41In the end, $500 is going to be coming into your bank, Tom.
10:47When I take it and put it in the bank, at the end of our bank builder round, Tom, you've
10:51got 500.
10:52Lee's in the lead with 800. Adam, you have 400. Quickfire. You won't want to miss it.
10:57It's coming up next.
11:10Welcome back, everybody. Buckle up, because this round's going to be a beauty.
11:14Tom, Lee and Adam are all hoping to play for the 20,000.
11:17So, let's play Quickfire.
11:24All right, in Quickfire, you'll each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as you
11:28possibly can. Every correct answer gives you a counter to put into the machine. The contestant
11:32with the lowest score at the end of this round, we have to say goodbye to. Now, Lee, you hung
11:36on to the lead with $800. You're three counters in front of Tom.
11:41Yeah.

17:45Oh.
17:45That's the one.
17:46Wow.
17:46That's really put a bit of a spanner in the works because 100 will go in.
17:52It'll give you $1,300.
17:54And when I take it across, you will have 1,800.
18:02One counter behind Lee.
18:04Lee, you're safe.
18:06Adam, 400.

18:59Let's give two a whirl.
19:00Two it is.
19:00You've got four chances.
19:01Good luck.
19:07Doubles there too.
19:08This could be massive.
19:10Oh, golly, that's a lighter, Adam.
19:13That's going to climb up on top.
19:15I tell you what, this is one heck of a game.
19:18A single counter separating Lee, Tom, Adam with three more chances.
19:23Let's try two again.
19:25Two it is.
19:25Light it up.
19:34Nice.
19:34Okay, that's better.
19:36All right.

20:02Light it up top three.
20:03Light it up.

20:07That looks good.
20:13Oh, I thought about riding, but it's safe, Adam.

20:18Push this.
20:19All right.
20:19Push.
20:19Oh, tailed it.
20:21I don't think anything is going to come off there.
20:23So, it's going to come down to this drop.
20:25This is an intense game.

20:33Let's go three.
20:34Light up three.
20:35This is to stay in the game.
20:41It lined up nicely.
20:43Oh, my goodness.
20:44Oh, no.
20:45It's a rider.
20:47Oh, wow, Adam.
20:48Bad luck.
20:49Oh, that's brutal.
20:52Wow.
20:53That's brutal.
20:53I'm going to take $1,000 out of the machine, and boy, what a round.
20:58You'll have $1,400 at the end of our quickfire round.
21:02Tom, you hang on.
21:03$1,800.
21:04Single counter behind Lee with $1,900.
21:07And Adam, unfortunately, we've found your tipping point.
21:11Wow.
21:11That's right.
21:14I tell you, that was unbelievable playing from everybody.
21:18Adam, unfortunately, luck's involved in this one a little bit as well.
21:22Yeah.
21:22All the best to direct the guys.
21:24Thanks.
21:24Good on, Adam.
21:25Thanks for coming on the show.
21:27Lee, Tom.
21:29Oh, it's going to be good, this head-to-head.
21:31$20,000 is on the line.
21:32You won't want to miss it here on tipping point.
21:47Oh, what a game it's been today.
21:48Welcome back, everybody.
21:49Tom and Lee, you two are about to go head-to-head.
21:52But before we do that, Tom, you've got your mum, Sue, and Nikita,
21:56your partner with you here today.
21:58Obviously, you're studying.
21:59You've got to make a little bit of money some other way.
22:01So you do a bit of bartendering?
22:02Yep.
22:03Yeah, I work at my dad's bar in Torquay.
22:05What's your favourite drink?
22:06Favourite cocktail that you make?
22:07We don't make cocktails.
22:09OK, well, that wasn't a great question.
22:11And I also don't like beer.
22:13And I work at a brewery.
22:14Oh, you're at a brewery.
22:15So I fudge my way through the, which one's your favourite?
22:18And I just point to one and go, yeah,
22:20that one's been really, really tasting nice.
22:24A great salesman to go with it.
22:26Yeah, try.
22:27Well, Tom, you've got work to do.
22:28You're one counter behind Lee.
22:30And Lee, you've got your partner here.
22:32Yes.
22:33Terry, going very well today.
22:34Yeah, she's always been lucky, mate.
22:36Yeah, always been lucky.
22:37Lucky to find you, hey?
22:40Well, I'm looking forward to getting this round underway.
22:43You've got young Tom nipping at your heels.
22:45Can you hang on?
22:46Let's play head to head.
22:53In this round, you each get two questions.
22:55If you get your question correct,
22:57you get to play the counter in the machine.
22:58But if you get it wrong, your opponent steals it.
23:01If you're unsure of your answer, you can pass the question.
23:04Lee, you are in the lead.
23:05And so you have the first question.
23:08Here it is.
23:09For Harry and Lloyd, every day is a no-brainer is the tagline of which 1994 film?
23:19I have to pass to Tom.
23:22Okay, Tom.
23:22Before my time, but I recognise those names.
23:25I think.
23:27Is it Dumb and Dumber?
23:29Is it Dumb and Dumber?
23:32Dumb and Dumber?
23:37Yeah.
23:37All right, what can you get this time?
23:41Can you get into the lead?
23:42Yeah, I think it's, I think it's got to be three.
23:45Let's light up drop zone three, please.
23:46Light up three.
23:47Good luck.
23:48Mystery's there as well.
23:49Good luck, Tom.
23:50See if we can bring that into it at all.
23:53Let's see.
23:54Top shelf looks okay.
23:56Bottom shelf looks pretty stacked.
23:58Don't know if it's going to get anything off the top.
24:01Nah.
24:01Too far away.
24:02My goodness.
24:03Setting it up.
24:04So, Tom, you've got one behind still, but you've got the next question.
24:10The Flemish giant is the world's largest breed of which domesticated animal?
24:16Pass or play?
24:18I could hazard a guess, but I don't know, so I'm going to pass it.
24:22Lee.
24:23Well, domesticated, it has to be a cat or a dog, or it could be a rabbit.
24:30I'll say cat.
24:31Is it a cat?
24:36It's a bloody rabbit.
24:37It's a bloody rabbit.
24:38Are you joking?
24:41Yeah, you had it in there too, didn't you?
24:43You went cat, dog, and then you thought, oh, could be.
24:46If it makes you feel better, I was not going to guess that.
24:48I don't think that makes her feel that much better, Tom.
24:51Yeah, true.
24:51I said that, but you did.
24:53Oh, well.
24:54Tom, you've got another shot.
24:56Well, I keep setting the drop zones up, so let's go back to three.
24:59Thank you, Todd.
24:59Okay, back air again.
25:05Come on.
25:07That's perfect.
25:08I like that.
25:08Is it?
25:08I think so.
25:09I hope so.
25:12Oh, yes.
25:13Spread a little bit.
25:14Spread a little bit.
25:18Very nice.
25:20Tom's taking the lead with half a dozen over the tipping point.
25:24$600 is about to go into his bank.
25:26It'll come out of the machine.
25:28Well done, Tom.
25:29And, Tom, that's going to give you $2,400, a five-counter lead.
25:33The momentum has swung here on tipping point.
25:35You won't want to go away.
25:37Who'll play for the $20,000?
25:38Stick around to find out.
25:52Okay, let's keep this game moving, because it's been sensational playing from everybody.
25:56Lee, you're five behind, but you've got the next question.
26:00Joanie Loves Chachi, Laverne and Shirley, and Mork and Mindy are all spin-offs of which
26:06long-running sitcom, Pass or Play?
26:09I'll play Happy Days.
26:11Is it Happy Days?
26:16Yes, you got one.
26:17Very well enough.
26:18An important one to get for you.
26:20It is.
26:21Five behind.
26:22So, where to?
26:25One hasn't been used, has it?
26:27No, we have not put one into one as yet.
26:29One.
26:32Terry says one, but are you willing to go with him?
26:35I don't listen to Tez most of the time.
26:39Look, say a little prayer drop zone one, please.
26:42Okay, we're going to go there.
26:43First time, light it up.
26:47The bottom shelf still looks pretty good.
26:49Be quiet, Tom.
26:52Oh.
26:57Where is it going to go?
26:58No, it's moved right.
26:59So she'd come off.
27:00Come on, baby.
27:03It's on the bottom.
27:05Two.
27:06Nice.
27:07Oh, no.
27:08All right.
27:09That's two.
27:09Two hundred dollars, Lee.
27:12Let's put that into your bank and you'll have 2,100.
27:14You'll be three behind.
27:18So whoever gets this counter probably goes through.
27:23Tom, you get the first dibs at the question.
27:26Pressure's on.
27:27In a standard Scrabble game, vowel tiles are all worth how many points each?
27:35Pass or play.
27:36I know this one because mum plays a lot of words with friends and I've played a lot of words
27:42with friends with her.
27:42Funny story, my brother and I used to cheat on words with friends.
27:45We used to take screenshots of the board, upload it to a website.
27:49And mum would think we're geniuses getting 100 point words, but we were just using AI before it was cool.
27:56I think, love it a play.
27:58Yeah.
27:59And I'm hoping the answer's one.
28:02Is it one?
28:07Nicely played, Tom.
28:12Okay.
28:14Well, 22.
28:15You're at school.
28:16Yeah.
28:17There's a few bills to pay.
28:18Oh.
28:18And you can start making some money for yourself, Tom.
28:21Where are you going?
28:24I think one looks the nicest set up, so we'll go drop zone one, thank you.
28:32I'd like that.
28:35See if we can get anything out.
28:40Will it get down?
28:42Will it push anything, is the question.
28:45It does.
28:46Lovely.
28:47A bit more would be handy.
28:48Nice spread.
28:50Send it up, send it up.
28:52That's okay, that's okay.
28:54Well, there was no money to be found in that final counter, as it turns out, but the end of
28:58Head to Head in what was another excellent round.
29:01Tom, you've got 2,400.
29:02You're moving along, and Leigh?
29:04I'm going.
29:05Unfortunately, we found your tipping point.
29:11Leigh, a lot of fun.
29:13Well played by you today, although it didn't go the way you wanted in the end.
29:16You've already got your trip booked to the US.
29:18You and Terry, have a wonderful time there.
29:20Thank you so much, Tom.
29:20I'm sure it'll be brilliant.
29:21And I hope you've enjoyed your time with us.
29:23I have.
29:23I've had lots of fun.
29:24Awesome.
29:25Well, now you can cheer for Tom, because he's about to play for this.
29:28It's worth $20,000, Tom.
29:31Can he master our machine and take home the jackpot?
29:33We're going to find out right after the break.
29:51Got to say, well played to you, Tom.
29:53Tom outlasted everyone here today, and you've got yourself $2,400 in the bank.
29:57Good money.
29:58Plenty more on offer though, if you could get the jackpot counter out.
30:01But I want to just ask again about, what are you going to do if you get the money?
30:04You'd like to go to the UK to do what?
30:06I would love to go see Manchester United play, and just see Premier League games in general,
30:10because it's such a different atmosphere.
30:12Oh, it's incredible.
30:13Well, you know what?
30:13Let's keep the game moving along, and let's play the jackpot round.
30:21Time to put the jackpot counter into the machine.
30:23Tom, push it back out.
30:24There's your 20.
30:25However, you still have a double sitting on that top left there in drop zone one.
30:29If that could go together, of course, that would make it 40.
30:32What would you like to do?
30:33Have you got a favourite?
30:34Do you have a theory?
30:34I do, yeah.
30:36I've got a bit of a theory.
30:37I thought you might.
30:38I thought you'd be a watcher.
30:39I've watched Timming Point for a while, and I always thought that the ends were better.
30:44The doubles in one as well.
30:45I think it's got to be one.
30:47It's got to be one.
30:48Let's light up drop zone one.
30:49Let's light up drop zone one.
30:51That's where we're going.
30:52Good luck, Tom.
30:52Let's work out the timing nicely.
31:00What?
31:01Just.
31:02Just.
31:02Just about.
31:03And it's going to sit to the left a little.
31:06Perfect.
31:06It's going to line itself with the double nicely.
31:08If they could just stay connected.
31:09Yeah.
31:10A bit more money with the numbers.
31:11And a little bit more money.
31:12A little bit more to come.
31:15So everyone worth a hundred still.
31:17So let's put two in.
31:18Two thousand six hundred dollars is your starting point.
31:20As we find out what five categories you're going to play today.
31:23Let's hope they all sit nicely.
31:25God, I hope so.
31:26You've got sport.
31:27You like that?
31:28Landmarks, I'm not sure.
31:30Music, film and veggies.
31:32Mmm.
31:32Young boy, you like you eat his veggies?
31:34Nope.
31:36Where would you like to start?
31:37You can play for one, two or three.
31:38You know how it all works.
31:39The more you play for, the better the chance you have.
31:41I've always said that I know a little about a lot of subjects and music is my weakest subject.
31:49Especially old music because you're young.
31:51I'm young.
31:52So, I'm going to start with music.
31:55Try and get it out of the way.
31:56For two, please.
31:57Oh, we're going a little tentative start.
31:59Yeah.
31:59Because I know a little.
32:00I know a little.
32:01And if I get one that I know, I think I'll know a two.
32:03I don't think I'll know a three.
32:04It'll be a guess.
32:05Alright, good luck then.
32:06We'll take two to get things started with music.
32:15Which reality competition TV host appears as a dancer
32:18in the 1989 music video for the B-52's Love Shack?
32:25Is it RuPaul Charles, Tyra Banks or Sophie Monk?
32:30I've heard of all three of them.
32:33I think I'm leaning RuPaul.
32:35I don't know.
32:36Let's light up RuPaul, please.
32:39Is that correct?
32:46Great job.
32:47You've got yourself two to start.
32:49So, light it up.
32:53Let's see.
32:54Hopefully it goes left.
32:56There's a bit of a gap as well next to it, which is interesting.
32:59See if we can fill up.
33:00Spin a little.
33:02Move the double.
33:03Move the double.
33:04Oh, it's kind of shuffled over a little.
33:05Yeah.
33:06Pin maybe.
33:06Oh.
33:07Nice.
33:08Bound.
33:08Okay.
33:09It's in place.
33:12That's five.
33:13That's going to get you over $3,000.
33:14$3,100.
33:16And now you've got one more counter to put in.
33:18Light it up.
33:19Light it up.
33:21Come on Tom.
33:26Right.
33:26It's quick.
33:27It might squeeze it a little bit if it gets...
33:28There's weight everywhere there.
33:30There is.
33:30Clear it out.
33:31Nice.
33:32Double?
33:32Double shot?
33:33Maybe?
33:34We don't want the double.
33:34We want to hold on to the double as long as we can.
33:37Right, back to the board.
33:38Yep.
33:39So you got rid of the weakest link in terms of music.
33:41Yep.
33:41And what's next?
33:43Let's go...
33:46Landmarks for three, please.
33:47Not a bit of travel.
33:48So, good.
33:49We'll see.
33:52The Musée d'Orsay art museum in Paris is located inside a formal what?
33:58Is it inside from a train station, cathedral or factory?
34:03Been to Paris?
34:05I have.
34:06Mum's a French teacher.
34:07She's been to Paris more times than I can count.
34:10She's lived there.
34:11She does know the answer.
34:12I do not.
34:16Don't think it would be factory.
34:18God.
34:19Uh, let's have a punt and go with the train station.
34:28Please, Todd.
34:28Light up train station.
34:31Sue?
34:32See Mum's reaction.
34:34Oh, she's looking happy.
34:36It's a train station, isn't it?
34:40Of course it is.
34:42Oh, that was...
34:44Well played.
34:45Well played.
34:45Oh, you're right.
34:46That gives you three.
34:47I'm going to light it up.
34:47Light it up, please.
34:51Cleared out the weight around it.
34:53You just need it to squeeze.
34:56Back on that one there.
34:56Might shuffle a little bit.
34:58Lateral.
34:59Spin it.
34:59No.
35:00It's okay.
35:01One off.
35:02What can it get on the bottom?
35:04Lovely.
35:05Lovely.
35:05Another two.
35:06So, 3,300.
35:08We've got two more counters left to play.
35:10Wow.
35:10Light it up again, please.
35:13Second from the left.
35:14Second from the left.
35:18Looks good.
35:19Come on, stay there.
35:20Oh, now.
35:20Come on.
35:20We just need it to move right.
35:23A little lateral.
35:23A little lateral.
35:24Go, go, go, go.
35:25Go, go, go.
35:25It cleared the weight, too.
35:27That's perfect.
35:28All right.
35:28The double's going to find its way down.
35:30Oh!
35:31With the big one, too.
35:33One more, one more, one more.
35:35Two.
35:35Five, including the doubles.
35:37$1,000.
35:38Wow.
35:404,300.
35:42One more here.
35:43Yeah.
35:43Let's slide it up again.
35:45Slide it up.
35:45There's a little bit of a gap there.
35:46It's either a squeezing lateral push, or it's going to push it right to the front end if
35:52you can get it in the right position.
35:53Yeah.
35:53I think the ones beside it will move it.
35:56If they angle nicely, go in there, switch right, switch right, or spin it.
36:03Oh!
36:04That's all right.
36:05That's all right.
36:05There's a bit of money on the bottom.
36:06Yeah.
36:09Oh!
36:10All right.
36:10You're not going to get that money yet, but I've got a feeling that you will.
36:14So, 4,300.
36:16Let's go back to the board.
36:17Going in a bit of a random order, but let's go with film for three, please.
36:21Film for three.
36:23Clean it out in the middle.
36:25Yeah.
36:26Afterlife is the subtitle of a 2021 sequel to which of these films?
36:33Ghost, Ghost Rider, Ghostbusters.
36:39I'm pretty sure, I'm fingers crossed, Ghostbusters Afterlife.
36:46I think.
36:48Let's go with Ghostbusters, please.
36:51Light up, Ghostbusters.
36:54But you're going to have to keep thinking whether you're correct or not,
36:56because we'll find out right after this break.
37:11Ah, welcome back.
37:12Tom's played a great game.
37:14$4,300, a couple of good drops here in this round.
37:17We're getting close.
37:18We're going to need a squeeze to get the big dog off the top shelf,
37:21but you need counters, all right?
37:23Afterlife is the subtitle of a 2021 sequel to which of these films?
37:28You said light up, Ghostbusters.
37:30I'm hoping.
37:31Is it Ghostbusters?
37:34Yes.
37:37Okay.
37:39Well done.
37:40Well done.
37:41Go on.
37:42Now, light her up.
37:44Come on.
37:46I've been lucky with the questions, not so lucky with the drops.
37:50Come on.
37:51Come on.
37:52Spin right, spin right, or spin left.
37:54Oh.
37:56Oh.
37:56Have a look at it.
37:57It's linked.
37:57Everything's linked.
37:58It's all sort of squeezing it, isn't it?
38:00Oh, and nice.
38:01And more money.
38:02Where did they come from?
38:03You're clearing the way nicely.
38:04That ended up being another 5-0, the tipping point.
38:06$4,800.
38:08We're nearly to that really magic number of 5K.
38:10Yeah, wow.
38:12Okay, come on.
38:13Time to knock it out of there, Tom.
38:14Yeah, let's go.
38:15Light her up.
38:19Get down there.
38:21Oh, no.
38:22No, it's a rider.
38:24I'm joking.
38:25Too fast.
38:27Came down real quick now.
38:28Did it, didn't it?
38:28Okay.
38:29Light it up.
38:30Third one here.
38:30Come on.
38:35See if I want someone better.
38:36That's it.
38:37Hey.
38:37That should get it off.
38:38Hopefully.
38:39As long as it pushes firmly.
38:40Yeah, move it, move it, move it, move it.
38:42Yes, come on, come on, come on, come on.
38:44It's hanging.
38:45All right, we need counters.
38:46So let's go back to categories.
38:47You've got two left.
38:49Um, God, I think we're going to go veggies and leave sport for last.
38:52So let's go veggies for three, please.
38:54From the Japanese for great root, daikon is what type of vegetable?
39:05Beetroot, radish, cucumber.
39:07I know it.
39:08You know it.
39:09I do.
39:10I eat a lot of banh mi.
39:12Mm-hmm.
39:12And Nikita's family is Vietnamese.
39:14And they pickle a lot of daikon.
39:15And I know it's a radish.
39:17So light up radish, please, Tom.
39:19Light up radish.
39:21Confidence is oozing out of him.
39:23Daikon.
39:24Is it a radish?
39:29Good work.
39:30Okay.
39:31Good luck, Tom.
39:32Three here.
39:33Light it up.
39:33First counter.
39:36Hopefully no more riders.
39:40Yep.
39:41We're down.
39:41Nice.
39:42Come on now.
39:43Push it.
39:43Push it.
39:43Squeeze it.
39:44Squeeze it.
39:44Squeeze it.
39:44Ah, it moved around it.
39:46It went around it, didn't it?
39:48It came off that side.
39:50A weird one, but that's all right.
39:51Let's put the second one in.
39:52Come on.
39:53Come on.
39:54Come on.
39:56Come on.
39:57So many spots you can get over.
39:59Oh, perfect.
39:59Perfect.
40:00Yeah.
40:00And it's good.
40:01It's going to go in to the left.
40:02It's going to fill the gap.
40:03Straight over.
40:04Push it on down.
40:05All right.
40:05Come on now.
40:06And it's lined it up perfectly behind it too.
40:09Bit of more money.
40:10A bit of weight there.
40:12Yeah.
40:12So you've got 100.
40:134,900 almost to five.
40:15Lovely.
40:16Okay.
40:17And here's the last one.
40:18Same spot would be perfect, mate.
40:20Oh, that would be great.
40:20Come on.
40:20Here we go.
40:21Come on.
40:22Come on.
40:25Come on.
40:26Yep.
40:26Oh, yep, yep.
40:27Right on it.
40:28Come on.
40:29Come on.
40:29Right on it.
40:29Come on.
40:30Get over.
40:30Come on, Tom.
40:31Go.
40:32Here we go.
40:33Going to get a double type of push here.
40:35Come at it.
40:35Hintzer it.
40:35Come on.
40:42I like the look of that.
40:44The big boy's down and it's close to coming over the tipping point.
40:47You've got more money too.
40:48You're now over 5,000.
40:50Oh my God.
40:50Tom.
40:51So another six gives you five and a half grand.
40:56But you are close.
40:58Right there.
40:59Right.
40:59You've saved what is your strongest subject to last.
41:03God, I hope so.
41:04Sport.
41:05Yeah.
41:05Let's go three please, Tom.
41:06Has to be.
41:08Has to be.
41:09With a bit of luck.
41:11Come on, Tom.
41:13Monza, the host of Italy's Formula One Grand Prix, is commonly known by what nickname?
41:21The Shrine of Rubber, the Temple of Speed, or the Church of Champs?
41:29Do you follow F1?
41:30From afar.
41:32I see the results, but I don't really follow it enough.
41:37I'm going to rule out the Church of Champs.
41:38I just don't think it's going to be that.
41:39I know Monza I think is supposed to be a fast one.
41:43I'm going to go the Shrine of Rubber.
41:45Shrine of Rubber?
41:46Yeah.
41:46Should I light that up?
41:47Please.
41:49Is Monza's nickname the Shrine of Rubber?
41:53It's to give us three counters to perhaps get 20 grand.
41:58Oof.
42:00Temple of Speed.
42:01You said it's a fast one.
42:03It's the only time you veered away from the way that you worked through it.
42:06Yeah.
42:07So, not to be just yet, one may say.
42:11But, Tom, congratulations.
42:12You got five and a half thousand dollars.
42:14That's pretty good.
42:15Thank you very much, Tom.
42:17Wow.
42:18You've had to make some tough decisions and work your way through quite a bit,
42:21and I'm going to throw one more tough one at you.
42:24Jackpot Temptation.
42:29To play Temptation, you're going to have to give up five and a half thousand dollars.
42:32At 22, working in a bar, studying, it's a lot of money, isn't it?
42:37It's a lot of money.
42:38But so is this.
42:39It's on the edge.
42:40Yeah.
42:41You've set it up perfectly.
42:43Top's in good position.
42:44You can see wherever they fall, it's going to give it a good opportunity.
42:47Yeah.
42:47You ready for this?
42:49Hit me.
42:50Two counters for one hundred thousand dollars.
42:52Oh, my God.
42:57Or...
42:57Yep.
42:58Three counters for fifty thousand dollars.
43:03I can just see the hairs have stood up on your arm.
43:06I have.
43:07And while you try to get them back down and gather your thoughts,
43:10we're headed to the newsroom.
43:14So, before we went to the newsroom, massive offer.
43:18Two counters for one hundred thousand dollars.
43:22Or three counters for fifty thousand dollars.
43:26Either way you look at that, huge.
43:30But you have to give up what for you is also a huge amount.
43:34That's massive.
43:35But a hundred or fifty are life-changing numbers.
43:40Is it worth taking the temptation?
43:43Oh, God.
43:45Five and a half is...
43:46Five and a half?
43:47It's five and a half.
43:48Five and a half is five and a half.
43:50Take the money, Tom.
43:51Five.
43:54I think five and a half is just too big.
43:57Like, that's too much money.
43:58I said if I came and got over five, no matter where it was, I was taking the money.
44:02Because five and a half is...
44:04It's life-changing.
44:08I'm going to take the money.
44:11I can't believe it.
44:12Oh, well played.
44:13A smart young man with a good head on his shoulders that understands the value of five thousand five hundred.
44:19Good on you.
44:20Too much.
44:20I did feel a very sweaty palm there, though, just at that moment.
44:24You're walking away with five and a half thousand dollars,
44:26plus the gift card of one thousand five hundred from Harvey Norman.
44:29Well played.
44:30Give him a round of applause.
44:31It was a great game.
44:34I'm sure you're clapping at home, too, for his decision and how well he played.
44:38Thanks for watching.
44:38Join us next time when three new contestants drop into the win zone on Tipping Point.
