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.
00:31Welcome to Tipping Point, where these three contestants are ready to take on our machines, so let's meet them.
00:36Hi Todd, I'm Simon, a compliance officer from Coburg North. If I won money today, I would love to give
00:42some money to my struggling bowls club and help them out.
00:44Hi, I'm Georgina, I'm a student from Bondi, and I had a dance-upon competition with my friends, and you're
00:49invited to the next one.
00:52Hi Todd, I'm Louise, a primary school teacher from Sydney, and if I win today, I'm taking my son to
00:57North Korea to run in the Pyongyang Marathon.
01:02Well, I've got to ask the question. Why North Korea?
01:05So, my son just thought it would be a really good idea, and my husband said, you're not spending any
01:11of our money on it, and my son said, well, if you win the money, we can go.
01:16Okay, well, good luck. Plenty riding on it for you, Louise. Georgina, explain the dance-a-thon.
01:21Yeah, we had all of our friends come around in a Just Dance style, so following a dance on the
01:25TV, and every round we knocked out the loser until there was one remaining.
01:30Right, okay, well, it's a bit like here today on Tipping Point.
01:32A little bit.
01:33Good luck, Georgina. And Simon, what about the bowls club? Where is it?
01:36Yeah, so it's in Preston Reservoir, two clubs that merge together in Reservoir, and we used to have a music
01:41event annually called the Reservoir Stomp.
01:43That's no longer happened, and I'd love to if we got some money to bring that back.
01:47Great plan. Bit of dough to do that, or go towards it at least.
01:51You all three want it, though.
01:52So let's get the game underway and play round one, Bank Builder.
01:59Bank Builder is your chance to make some serious cash, because every counter that you can push over the Tipping
02:03Point, we add $100 into your bank.
02:06In the round, you each start with three counters.
02:08Now, if you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters, or you could
02:13pass and ask one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead.
02:16If you answer incorrectly, or don't answer within three seconds, then we take a counter off you, and in the
02:22machine, you can see the two double counters.
02:24Push those over to double the value of your drop, along with the two mystery counters.
02:28If you could push those over, you're guaranteed a great prize.
02:31But let's get it all underway.
02:32Hands on buzzers, deep breath, here comes the opening question.
02:36Which iconic Australian singer is known by the nickname Farnsey?
02:40Louise.
02:41John Farnham.
02:42Off to a good start, Louise. Well done.
02:47I'm going to play.
02:48Right.
02:49I'll go drop zone one.
02:50Light up drop zone one, first drop of the day.
03:00Down it goes.
03:01Just stay a little left to line up with the black one.
03:04Don't go right here.
03:08It does, too.
03:10And this is going to get a bit of a widespread.
03:12Come on, come on, come on.
03:12Oh!
03:15Off to a nice start.
03:16One in, two out.
03:17200 goes up into our machine.
03:19It transfers from there into your bank.
03:22Louise, well played.
03:24And here's the second question.
03:26Athens is the capital city of which European, Louise?
03:29Greece.
03:30It is.
03:30Country.
03:31European country.
03:33All right, Louise.
03:34Can you play your second counter?
03:36I'm going to play drop zone four, please.
03:38OK, all the way from left to the right.
03:46Oh, no right.
03:47Come on.
03:48That's OK.
03:49Needs to stay a little left again, Louise.
03:53Start.
03:54Come on, come on.
03:55Oh, yeah.
03:56What up?
04:00Nice, steady start.
04:01Three this time, Louise.
04:03That'll give you 300 that goes up.
04:04And when it comes out of the machine, you'll have 500 in your bank with a single counter
04:08left to play.
04:10We move on to our next question.
04:12In the World Surf League, which US state competes as a separate nation to the rest of the United
04:17States?
04:19Simon?
04:19Hawaii?
04:20That's correct.
04:21Good job.
04:21Nice work.
04:24Kind of goes with your shirt today, doesn't it?
04:27That's not tight.
04:28Hey?
04:29Light up drop zone four.
04:31Thanks, Hod.
04:32Four it is.
04:32Light her up.
04:40Mmm.
04:43Make sure it gets flat.
04:44Don't bounce hard.
04:46Oh, yes.
04:46Well done.
04:47Well done.
04:49But can I get something off the top, Simon?
04:52Oh!
04:54It does.
04:59Build some gaps.
05:01There's a nice bit sitting on the tipping point, but for the moment, you've got yourself
05:04just a single counter.
05:05So 100 goes up.
05:07Put that in your bank.
05:07And with two counters left, you'll have four counters to catch Louise.
05:12So Louise got one.
05:13Simon, you got two.
05:14Georgina, you got three counters as we move ahead.
05:17After the death of her husband, Queen Victoria predominantly wore what colour for the rest
05:21of her life?
05:22Georgina.
05:23Black.
05:23It was indeed black.
05:25Yes.
05:26What are you going to do, Georgina?
05:28I'm going to go for drop zone four.
05:29Light up drop zone four.
05:36Oh, that looks dope.
05:39Just need to push it straight over.
05:41Yep.
05:41Oh.
05:42Oh.
05:43So close.
05:44It doesn't get it.
05:45It needs a bump.
05:46If that comes off, it's definitely going to get money.
05:51Doesn't want to shove, though.
05:52So two counters left for you, Georgina.
05:55The next question.
05:57Featuring the repeated lyric, burn, baby, burn, is a 70s hit.
06:01Georgina.
06:02Disco Inferno.
06:03Yes.
06:04Disco what?
06:05Well done.
06:06I actually danced to that in my dance upon.
06:09So you're only 23 from Bondi.
06:11It's a really good dance song, that one.
06:12It's not a song I thought it would be popping out for you, Georgina.
06:16Yeah.
06:16Right.
06:17Let's see if you can burn some counters over there, top of that tipping point.
06:20Drop zone four.
06:21Four again.
06:22Light it up.
06:28Oh, that's good.
06:29Yeah.
06:30That's going to slide to the right.
06:33Oh.
06:34Oh.
06:35Get a double go here.
06:38Yeah.
06:40Very happy.
06:41Half a dozen.
06:42Great drop.
06:43600 will get you into the lead.
06:45600 goes in the machine.
06:46Put it in your bank.
06:47With one counter left to play, you're a single counter ahead of Louise.
06:52So Louise, Georgina with a counter left.
06:54Simon, you've got two.
06:56In the United States, Halloween is celebrated in which...
07:00Louise?
07:01October.
07:01In which of the four seasons?
07:04So you're kind of right.
07:06Autumn or fall is the answer I'm looking for, though, unfortunately.
07:09So that means, Louise, I've got to take that counter away from you.
07:12I'm sorry.
07:13And it means that you've got to sit out the rest of the round.
07:16Okay.
07:16500 is in there.
07:17Just that counter behind Georgina.
07:19Here comes the next question.
07:21What is the name of a heavy metal device that is dropped into water to hold a vessel in place?
07:26Georgina.
07:26An ankle.
07:27It is indeed.
07:28Hey.
07:31What to do this time?
07:33You've got your mate here.
07:34Cam, what do you reckon?
07:35Where do we go?
07:36Number, I think, three.
07:37I think three.
07:38Do you think that too, Georgina?
07:40I do trust Cam.
07:41Yeah.
07:42But I kind of want to go for drop zone one.
07:44Do it.
07:45I think one.
07:46Be crazy.
07:47One it is.
07:47Light it up.
07:51Mystery counters.
07:53Sitting in the bottom of one.
07:56Ooh.
07:57That's got to get flat, though.
07:59Don't go near that one on the left.
08:01Nice.
08:02No, that's good.
08:03It's going to move over.
08:04It's going to push them all down.
08:07You can feel it.
08:08Yeah.
08:09Oh.
08:10Oh, no.
08:11Oh, no, no, no, no.
08:13Good bounce back.
08:14Oh, yeah, bounce back.
08:15Sits gently down.
08:17I think one of them is riding, but not both.
08:22Oh.
08:23Well done.
08:25So you get to extend the lead, and you've got another three over the tipping point.
08:29So $300 is up.
08:31It comes straight out.
08:32At the end of your round, Georgina, you'll sit back with $900.
08:34That gives you a four-counter lead over Louise.
08:37Perfect.
08:38So, Simon, you're four behind Louise, eight behind Georgina, but you've still got two
08:43counters left to play.
08:44No need for you to buzz in.
08:45Okay.
08:46But you do need to give me an answer, and you've got three seconds to do that.
08:49Here's the first one.
08:51Cosmetica and Maxima are both stores owned by which Australian beauty retailer?
09:00Mecca.
09:01Didn't know.
09:01Both of you two knew, didn't you?
09:03Oh, yeah.
09:03Yeah, not in a way.
09:04The key customer, yeah.
09:06Unfortunately for you, Simon, we're going to have to take that counter away from you.
09:10And here comes your final question.
09:12In 2024, 18-year-old Gukesh Damaraju became the youngest world champion in which board game?
09:20Oh, chess.
09:21Yes, indeed.
09:22Good job.
09:24Okay.
09:25Four behind Louise.
09:27Where'd it go?
09:28Light up.
09:29Drop zone four.
09:30Light up four.
09:39It's going to go a little left, but there's a couple of games.
09:42Gaps there, too.
09:45You might fill and still get a push off the left.
09:50Not exactly what you wanted, but one is better than none.
09:53So 100 comes your way.
09:54We'll put it up.
09:56Put that into your bank.
09:57And that means at the end of our bank builder round, Simon, you've got 200.
10:01Still in touch.
10:02Georgina, you've got the lead with 900.
10:03And Louise, sitting in the middle, with 500.
10:06Stick around to see who survives in our quickfire round.
10:09That's coming next on Tipping Point.
10:23Welcome back to Tipping Point.
10:24Got a good game in progress here.
10:26Simon, Georgina and Louise are all trying to play for the $20,000 jackpot.
10:30But to do it, we need to play quickfire.
10:37All right, quickfire.
10:38You all know it's 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
10:41For every correct answer, you get the counter to play into the machine.
10:45Now, the contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round, we have to wave goodbye to.
10:49So, Georgina, you're in the lead at the moment.
10:52You can play first if you would like to.
10:55I think I'm going to pass.
10:56Oh, okay.
10:57A bit of strategy.
10:59I think I'm going to pass to Simon.
11:01Simon, you get the chance to set the tone here.
11:04Good luck.
11:0530 seconds on the clock.
11:07Your time starts.
11:08Now, in Australia, Victoria shares its western border with which other state?
11:14Western Australia?
11:15South Australia.

11:34X-Men.
11:35Correct.
11:35Paranoid Android was a 1997 hit song.
11:38Correct.
11:39Oh, yes.
11:40Oh, wow.
11:42What a comeback there.
11:43Picked it up with a bit of pace right at the end.
11:45So, Simon, you've got three chances.
11:47Only three counters behind Louise.
11:50So, she's your first target.
11:51We'll go three.
11:52Okay.
11:53Light up three.
12:00First time we've been there.
12:03Stay straight onto the black.
12:05There it goes.
12:12Okay.
12:13Not a lot of luck yet.
12:14No.
12:15Do you go back there?
12:15I'm going to go back there, Todd.
12:16Yeah, light it up.
12:17Light up three again.
12:21It's an important one.
12:25Over to the left this time.
12:28Don't go in the middle of them all.
12:29Oh.
12:30That's what's happening.
12:32So, we've got one left, Simon.
12:34You've done a whole heap of building in drop zone three.
12:37I'll stay there, Todd.
12:38We'll go back there.
12:39Third and final chance.
12:41Light up drop zone three.
12:49Okay.
12:50Okay.
12:50Just get flat.
12:52Oh, no.
12:53You've got a free drop there.
12:56Oh.
13:00Not done yet.
13:02Unbelievable.
13:03Oh, my God.
13:06Oh.
13:07Oh.
13:07Oh.
13:07Back down.
13:08And you might find another one or two here.
13:11What a drop.
13:18I'll tell you what, that radio heard question at the end of your round.
13:21It's done it for you because it's good old legs 11 that has come over.
13:271,100.
13:28And from hanging in the game, you've got yourself into the lead when we take it over.
13:33That's awesome.
13:331,300.
13:34Well done, guys.
13:35That's right.
13:37So, Georgina, it's back to you.
13:39You passed to Simon.
13:40You find yourself four behind him now.
13:42Are you willing to play this time?
13:44Yes.
13:45Okay.
13:46Good luck, then.
13:4830 seconds on the clock for you.

14:18Correct.
14:19Inside an atom, what is the term for the central region containing the protons and neutrons?
14:23Yes, correct.
14:24Wow.
14:28Great broad spectrum of knowledge, Georgina.
14:32Right, let's get started because we've got four to put in.
14:34Where to?
14:35Okay.
14:35I think drop zone one.
14:37Drop zone one it is.
14:38Light up.
14:38Yeah.
14:46Oh, I thought about coming.
14:48Just started pushing back in and sucked it back up.
14:51Just needs a second.
14:53Oh, nice and flat.
14:54That's good.
14:56I'm trying to build it over to the left.
14:59Oh, nice and flat.
14:59Yeah.
15:00Oh, they're just sort of hanging.
15:02Oh, yeah, that's good.
15:08Right, you're safe, Georgina.
15:09Five over the tipping point.
15:10500 goes up.
15:11So, let's keep it there.
15:12But now, how far can you expand your lead?
15:17Okay, I'll go three.
15:18Light it up.
15:25I might push it over.
15:27I think you'll be fine.
15:27Good straight.
15:29Okay, good.
15:34This one sits back down.
15:36I think one's flat.
15:38Yeah, but it should get a solid push again.
15:42Oh.
15:44Builds the gaps and loads that right side.
15:47So, you've got two more.
15:48Yeah.
15:49I'm going to stay with three.
15:50Three it is.
15:51Light it up again, please.
15:58Oh.
16:01Bouncing around like a pinball machine in there.
16:05That's a good drop.
16:06Nice and flat.
16:07And as long as it doesn't push itself right.
16:12Okay.
16:14You've got one more.
16:14All right.
16:15One more.
16:15I'm going to keep it in drop zone three.
16:17Light it up.
16:24Smashes in there.
16:24Big drop.
16:26Take it easy on our machine, Georgina.
16:28He wants to get all the counters over.
16:32Come on.
16:33Oh.
16:36Pretty solid work by you.
16:38That was another five.
16:39So, another 500 goes up.
16:40It'll give you a flat 1,000.
16:42Put that into your bank and you've extended to 1,900.
16:46Which is your sixth counter lead over Simon.
16:50So, Louise, you're still in it.
16:52Plenty at both ends.
16:54You're eight behind Simon.
16:56Okay.
16:57Yes.
16:57Good luck.
16:5830 seconds goes on the clock for you.
17:00Your time starts now.
17:02A solar flare is an intense burst of radiation from what giant star in our solar system?
17:06The sun.
17:07Correct.
17:08The green anaconda is a species of large snake native to which continent?

17:32Carlton.
17:32City.
17:33Melbourne City.
17:34Not bad.
17:35You're from Sydney.
17:36We'll let you off on that one.
17:38You've got yourself four.
17:39So, Simon's starting to feel the heat a little bit down the other end.
17:43You need eight to tie him.
17:45Where to?
17:47I'm going to go one.
17:49Light up one.
17:54Okay, no riders.
17:56There's a bit of room there.
17:58Come on, come on.
17:59But it is sitting in between the black and the silver.
18:01You don't want a cushion in the middle of it.
18:05Oh, yes.
18:06Oh, you got away with it.
18:07Okay, come on.
18:08Come on.
18:08Oh, it's a mystery.
18:12One.
18:13So, a hundred goes in.
18:14Three more counters left to play.
18:16Light up one.
18:17Light it up.
18:25Oh, it's got to try to nudge that black.
18:29It's got to squeeze in the hole.
18:30Push out.
18:30Hey, come on.
18:32I want to miss you.
18:34It's a lot in there.
18:35Oh!
18:36Oh, so close.
18:38Three more and a pile on on the tipping point.
18:41So, let's put 300 in.
18:42Okay, I need some help.
18:43Because you're 400.
18:44You're four behind.
18:46I'm going one.
18:47Third counter going into the drop zone one.
18:50Light that up, please.
18:51You're four behind still, Louise.
19:00Oh, that goes to the right.
19:02You could get yourself the mystery here.
19:03Oh, come on, come on, come on.
19:04Oh, unlucky.
19:08So, it's going to come down to a final counter to keep you in the game.
19:11I've got to stay with one.
19:12I've got to stay with one.
19:14Light it up.
19:19Oh, good.
19:21Just depends on how many you can get off the top.
19:23Come on.
19:26Oh, oh.
19:28Push, push, push.
19:30Oh!
19:32I don't think it's going to be enough.
19:33In the end, it was two more.
19:35So, it came over the tipping point.
19:36Oh, what a shame.
19:37It's going to give you $600 when I take it out of the machine and put that into your bank.
19:41You'll have $1,100 and at the end of a very fierce and competitive quickfire round, Simon's got $1,300.
19:50Georgina's got the lead with $1,900 and, Louise, unfortunately, we've found your tipping points.
19:55Never mind.
19:58Lovely having you down from Sydney to be on the show.
20:01And I hope you still get that chance to run the marathon with your son.
20:04I don't really want to, Todd.
20:06Well, now you can't.
20:08But anyway, we wish you all the very best.
20:09But Simon and Georgina, after the break, you're going head-to-head to play for the $20,000 jackpot.
20:15Who will go through?
20:16You better stay watching us on Tipping Points.
20:30Welcome back, everyone.
20:32I'm loving this battle that's about to get underway.
20:34Simon and Georgina, you're about to go head-to-head.
20:36One of you will get that opportunity to play for the jackpot worth $20,000.
20:40Before we get there, though, Simon, I want to meet Carolyn, your partner.
20:44Yes.
20:45Carolyn, welcome to you today.
20:47Hi, Colin.
20:49How did you two meet?
20:50We actually met at the office Christmas party.
20:52Oh, it's like one of those TV shows.
20:54That's right.
20:55He does have an interesting look about him, doesn't he?
20:58Is he Hawaiian shirts all the time?
20:59We actually had to go to Hawaii to stock up, just so he'd have enough in his closet, so
21:04I have to go back.
21:06Fantastic.
21:07Now, just a reminder to everybody, what about the money today?
21:10What are you going to do with it?
21:11So some of it I would love to give to the Bowls Club.
21:13They used to have a music event called the Reservoir Stomp.
21:15Yeah.
21:16And they used to have bands play there.
21:17And so I would love to get that music event going again for the community.
21:20And if there's any left over, I would love to take my son, Rocket, to Dream World or Movie World.
21:25That would be great, father-son thing to do.
21:28And Georgina, what are we studying?
21:30So it's a Masters of Secondary Teaching and it's to be a History teacher in Modern and Ancient.
21:34Nice.
21:35What sent you down that road?
21:36I think I've always wanted to be a teacher and I've definitely known that I wanted to
21:40go down the History road.
21:41Fantastic, because we need teachers, so glad that you're doing that.
21:44Now, it's an interesting tale here today because we saw Cam, great to have you.
21:49I just want to know, Cam, how you got the gig.
21:52Because your best mates, the boyfriend, Luke, he got shafted and he's still at home in Sydney.
22:00Me and my sister mum watched the show and I think when Georgina told me that she was
22:04auditioning for it, I was like, oh my God.
22:06So I think they had to move aside and I took the lead.
22:09Fantastic.
22:11Now, we know what Simon would like to do with his money.
22:13What about you, though?
22:14I am planning to move to London with my partner, Luke.
22:18Oh, not taking Cam?
22:18No, he'll get the invite to this one.
22:19And he gets the better trip, the further distance.
22:21Exactly.
22:22But we want to do a lot of travel when we're over there and being a history nerd, I really
22:26want to go to Egypt.
22:27Right, well, you're going to need plenty of money to do that, so you're going to have
22:30to try to hang on to your lead.
22:31Let's go head to head.
22:37In head to head, you each get two questions.
22:40If you get your question correct, you get to play that counter into the machine.
22:43But if you get it wrong, your opponent steals it.
22:46If you're a little unsure, you can also pass that question to your opponent.
22:49With the lead, Georgina, it means you're playing first.
22:52Beautiful.
22:54The Broadway musical Once Upon a Mattress is an adaptation of which fairy tale?
23:00Parcel play.
23:03I think I'm going to play.
23:05Okay.
23:06It's a mattress, so I'm thinking what fairy tales could have to do with mattresses, so
23:10I'm going to guess Princess and the Pea.
23:13Simon, you up on your Princess and the Peas?
23:16Not Princess and the Pea, no.
23:17I might have guessed something else, yeah.
23:19Let's find out if it is the Princess and the Pea.
23:26Nice to play.
23:28I was a bit worried early on when he said, oh, I'm just going to give it a go.
23:31I thought, you realise you don't have to play.
23:33I've got my eye on that mystery prize.
23:35So does that mean I should light up job zone one?
23:37Light it up, please.
23:42What would you like if you get it?
23:46Maybe something to cook with, maybe something for the kitchen, or something for travel.
23:52Well, let's see whether you get it over.
23:56There we go.
23:58Beautiful.
24:01Well, with the half a dozen that came over, you got $600.
24:05It goes up, and that will give you $25,000.
24:09Hey, beautiful.
24:11But you said, if the mystery comes over, I'd like something to cook with, so how about this?
24:15You can cook with confidence, thanks to Swiss Diamond, with this ultimate cookware collection pack.
24:21Ceramic, non-stick, and compatible with all cooktops, it's valued at over $25,000.
24:26Awesome.
24:28That's great.
24:30Now, Simon, the next question is yours.
24:33You've got yourself 12 for high, but there's still a double sitting over there that might come into play.
24:38What are the four colours of the levels in the Australian fire danger rating system?
24:44Pass or play?
24:46I'm going to pass.
24:47Okay.
24:49What are they, Georgina?
24:50So, there's four of them.
24:52I think black is the most dangerous.
24:55I think red.
24:57I think yellow and green.
25:00Okay.
25:00Black, red, yellow, and green.
25:04Yeah.
25:05Is that correct?
25:08Not quite.
25:10All right.
25:10Red, orange, yellow, and green.
25:13Good pass, Simon.
25:14So, you need to close the gap.
25:16You might not be able to get 12, but you could maybe find five or six.
25:20Light up drop zone three.
25:22Okay.
25:31Maybe.
25:32Stop.
25:34Oh!
25:36Double, go left.
25:39Need to adjust a little bit more to the left.
25:41You've got yourself two.
25:42That'll be 200 that'll go up.
25:44Put that into your bank, Simon.
25:45And you've got 1,500.
25:47It's a 10-counter difference, and we'll be back after the break to see whether Georgina
25:51can hang on or whether Simon makes a comeback to play for the 20,000.
26:07All right.
26:08Welcome back, Georgina.
26:09You've got a 10-counter lead, and there's still two counters left to play.
26:13Okay, Simon, there's enough.
26:14If you could get them both, Georgina, you've got to stop that from happening.
26:17Here's your next question.
26:19On the periodic table, which two elements begin with the letter Z?
26:24Pass or play?
26:26I think I'm going to pass.
26:28Okay.
26:30History teacher is leaving the science to Simon.
26:33Okay.
26:33Z.
26:35Two elements beginning with the letter Z.
26:37One with zinc.
26:38I think I'm going to go one is zinc.
26:40Okay.
26:40That's one.
26:44And Z, the other one.
26:47I don't know.
26:48Plutonium.
26:49I don't know.
26:49With the silent Z.
26:51Yeah.
26:52Sorry.
26:52Plutonium.
26:54All right.
26:54I'll give it a go.
26:55Okay.
26:56Is it zinc and plutonium with the silent Z?
27:01You know, it's zirconium is the other one.
27:05You're not that far off it, Simon.
27:08Yeah.
27:09But for Georgina, it's another opportunity.
27:11Where to this time?
27:13Drop zone four, please.
27:14Light up four.
27:23That's going to nudge that double down, I think.
27:26Yep.
27:27There she goes.
27:28Ooh.
27:28Oh, I've seen it.
27:29Flat.
27:30Good.
27:31Oh.
27:32Beautiful.
27:34Great.
27:36Wow.
27:36This is a healthy balance that Georgina's building.
27:39That was seven more, which is $700.
27:42When we move it.
27:44Georgina, you've got $3,200, a 17-counter lead over Simon.
27:49So there's one option left for you, Simon.
27:51That's to get this counter and find a way to get that double down.
27:55Yep.
27:55Here's the last question of the round.
27:57Good luck.
27:59Which iconic horror movie villain has been played in eight films by Robert England?
28:05I'm going to play.
28:06Yeah.
28:07I saw these as a teenager and they used to scare the hell out of me.
28:11The film franchise is A Nightmare on Elm Street and he played Freddy Krueger.
28:18Okay.
28:19He said it's Nightmare on Elm Street.
28:21The character is Freddy Krueger.
28:23How'd we go?
28:28We got it.
28:29All right.
28:30Good strong finish here.
28:31You never know.
28:32You could make it a horror story for Georgina, couldn't you?
28:35Me too.
28:37I'm going to try and go for that double there.
28:39Let's light up drop zone three.
28:41Got to be on the right side.
28:47See what happens.
28:50Could get lucky.
28:52Let's hope so.
28:53Go and drop.
28:53Drop.
28:54Oh, yeah.
28:55Drop flat.
28:56Drop flat.
28:58Come on.
28:58Drop flat.
29:00Oh.
29:01Still could happen.
29:03Going to get another push here.
29:05Yep.
29:09But they all slide behind each other.
29:13Oh.
29:13Valiant effort, Simon, but no money to exchange.
29:16And, of course, that means now at the end of our head-to-head round,
29:19Georgina, what a bank you've got built here.
29:21$3,200.
29:22Simon, with only $1,500.
29:24Unfortunately, we're found to tipping point.
29:30Great having you on, Simon.
29:31Say g'day to Rocket.
29:32I love that name.
29:32You know why?
29:33The great Rocket Rod Laver.
29:35Of course.
29:36Of our tennis days.
29:37So that's fantastic.
29:38Say g'day to him.
29:39Thank you for coming on the show.
29:41Georgina, here we go.
29:42This could help that trip to Egypt, England, and all of that type of stuff.
29:46It's a jackpot.
29:47It's worth $20,000.
29:48We're hoping that you can go home with the big bucks.
29:50We're going to find out whether you can or not right after this break.
30:09Welcome back, everyone.
30:10Today's winner is 23-year-old Georgina from Bondi in Sydney.
30:14$3,200.
30:15That's going to be looking good.
30:18Very happy.
30:19Before we put the jackpot counter in, though, you have travelled to Europe before.
30:23Yes.
30:23So you've been there.
30:24You know it's going to be nice living there.
30:25But I read that you actually sang in the Vatican.
30:28I did.
30:29It was on a school music tour, actually.
30:31And we all practised for months and months singing all of our hymns.
30:35And then it was freezing cold and we sang lots of Christmas songs in the Vatican,
30:38which was a pretty once in a lifetime.
30:40Fantastic.
30:41Cam, how do you think we're going to go here?
30:44I'm so stressed.
30:45Stressed?
30:46No other words.
30:47No other words.
30:48Well, let's keep that anxiety alive for you a little longer as we get set to play the jackpot round.
30:58All right, during the break, we had a little bit of a discussion about where you might want to put
31:02that jackpot counter.
31:03If you get it out, $20,000 is there.
31:05The doubles are still lurking on the bottom.
31:07Don't know if that's what you'd like, though.
31:09What are you thinking?
31:10I am thinking drop zone four.
31:12Four?
31:12I thought about three, but I think four might be better to keep it on the side and get it
31:16over.
31:17Let's do it, then.
31:17Light up drop zone four.
31:23Okay.
31:26Good.
31:27Okay.
31:27It's not bad.
31:28It's not going to use the wall, but it's down flat.
31:30That's key.
31:34And it should start clearing.
31:37Not yet.
31:38That's all right.
31:38Okay.
31:39First part of the equation done.
31:41But to move it, we need counters.
31:42Let's go to categories.
31:44And you're going to play TV, landmarks, music, sport, and spreads.
31:50So, you can choose to play one, two, or three.
31:52The more you play for, the harder that question's going to be.
31:55Where to start and for how many?
31:57I think I'm just going to run the whole board, and I'm going to start with three for TV.
32:01Three for TV.
32:03All right, Georgina.
32:05Here we go.
32:07A US reality TV series is the secret what?
32:12Is it the secret lives of Mormon wives, the secret pads of Mormon dads, or the secret
32:20games of Mormon dames?
32:22I have watched this show, so I'm happy.
32:25I'm going to light up lives of Mormon wives.
32:28Okay.
32:28We're going to light up lives of Mormon wives.
32:30Got a feeling this is going to go green.
32:32Let's find out.
32:34Otherwise, I was watching a different show.
32:36Mustard.
32:37You're right.
32:38Don't second-guess yourself.
32:40All right-o, we're off and racing.
32:42First category.
32:42We've got three to play with.
32:44Let's just hope we can get them on that left side of drop zone four.
32:47Light it up, please.
32:54Oh, that's good.
32:55Okay.
32:57Quick start.
32:58What?
32:59Come on, get down.
33:00Down you go.
33:01Oh, it's just...
33:04It's going to push it forward, but not as far as you might have liked.
33:07Oh.
33:08Oh, perfect.
33:08And that's not what we wanted.
33:11It's shoveled it in the middle.
33:14Okay.
33:15This is a slow burner.
33:17This one is still going to give you some money on this next push.
33:20Yeah, a bit on the edge.
33:22Okay.
33:23All right.
33:24Great.
33:25So that's four.
33:26So 400 will give you 3,600.
33:29Beautiful.
33:29And we've got a little bit of a weird situation, because a fair bit of it is in four, one
33:34-third in three.
33:36Let's go back to four.
33:38It's going to keep making sure.
33:40Light it up.
33:42All right.
33:48Couldn't be further away.
33:49Tricked me, that one, but that's okay.
33:53Hopefully, we'll still knock that over.
33:55Come on.
33:56Flip.
33:57Yeah.
34:00Oh, it's so close.
34:01It's piling up.
34:02We've got one more to put in there.
34:03I'm going to go back to four now.
34:04Light it up again, please.
34:14Okay.
34:15It's playing games with us.
34:19That's down.
34:19All right.
34:20There's still a lot down there, so...
34:21That's going to give you a good dose of money.
34:23Oh, look at that thing.
34:25That way.
34:26Fizzing over to the left because of the weight at the front.
34:29Out of counters.
34:30Let's go back to the board, and if we're working our way down, the next one is landmarks.
34:34Yeah.
34:35For three.
34:35Let's do it.
34:41Georgina, where is the big roadside attraction, the Big Banana?
34:46Is it in Brunswick Heads, Port Macquarie, or Coffs Harbour?
34:51I think it's in Coffs Harbour.
34:53I remember my boyfriend telling me that, so I'm going to light up Coffs Harbour.
34:57Light up Coffs Harbour.
34:59Is that where the Big Banana is?
35:04Oh, thank you.
35:06Beautiful.
35:07He can get some of the winnings then.
35:09He gets a few of the winnings?
35:10Yeah.
35:10See what comes over this time, and I'll see if I'll share.
35:14Where am I going, though?
35:15It's a bit of a strategy.
35:16I think I'm going to do...
35:17I'm going to do the first one in three, and then I'm going to save from there.
35:21Light up three this time.
35:29Oh!
35:32It was in the right place, but it's a rider.
35:38Okay.
35:40That one's waving at you.
35:42So close.
35:44It doesn't matter when it comes down, because it's still going to be in play.
35:48So, what do you want to do this time?
35:51I think I'm going to go three again.
35:52Okay.
35:53Light up three again, please.
35:57All right.
36:00Oh, okay.
36:01That's good.
36:02Great.
36:03What a drop that is.
36:05Yeah.
36:06Okay.
36:07That's perfect.
36:07That's what you needed.
36:08So now what?
36:12I think three again.
36:14That double's looking at me.
36:15Okay.
36:16Light up three again, please.
36:18We need it right again.
36:22Okay.
36:24So much hanging on the edge.
36:26Yeah.
36:27It's time for some of it to go down.
36:30Or not.
36:32Oh, all right.
36:33That's an interesting segment of drops.
36:35So, out of counters.
36:36Let's go back again.
36:37Music's next.
36:39Let's do it for three.
36:40Yeah.
36:41You played a musical instrument also.
36:43I did.
36:44I played the bassoon, actually.
36:45Ah, you're a faulty talent set, I must admit.
36:47I think I, maybe not jack of all trades, but I'll try anything.
36:50Good stuff.
36:51I love that.
36:51I'll try anything once.
36:52See if we can get this right.
36:53Get a bassoon question.
36:56Well, not quite.
36:57Beyonce recorded a version of which country song for the 2024 album Cowboy Carter?
37:04Was it Stand By Your Man, Jolene, or The Gambler?
37:08I feel really good about this question because I really like Beyonce and I also really like
37:12country music, so I'm going to light up Jolene.
37:16Light up Jolene.
37:17I mean, you convince everybody that you're right, so let's just find out.
37:24Jolene.
37:25Exactly.
37:26Maybe I'll have to dance for that one next.
37:28Yeah.
37:29That's it.
37:29Right.
37:30We've got three more to play, but we're in this little bit of a pickle about the positioning
37:33of the jackpot.
37:34Yeah.
37:35I'm going to start in drop zone four.
37:37Four?
37:37And we need it to go left.
37:39Yeah.
37:39Good luck.
37:40Light her up.
37:43What?
37:44Come on.
37:45Get over there.
37:46Go, go, go.
37:49Need it to just keep spinning that way.
37:54Oh, it's another rider.
37:56Okay, that's not doing us the world of good, that riding stuff.
38:01Right.
38:01Not at all.
38:02Back to four.
38:03I've got to keep checking here.
38:04Yeah.
38:05Four it is.
38:05Light it up.
38:13At least it's flat.
38:14Yeah.
38:14I'll take that.
38:17We're not getting them off the top, are we?
38:21There we go.
38:22There we go.
38:23Good draw.
38:23Four came over.
38:25A flat 4K sitting in your bank.
38:27A nice number.
38:28Very good.
38:28But what we do need is we need to get this jackpot on the bottom.
38:31One more.
38:32I think drop zone three this time.
38:34Light up.
38:34Drop zone three.
38:44Wowee.
38:45That came out like a rocket.
38:48It didn't do anything for us at all.
38:50So, we're currently out of counters again.
38:52Yeah.
38:52Let's go back.
38:53Six potential left to get for you.
38:56Sport is next.
38:57Let's do it for three.
38:58Come on.
38:59Might as well.
38:59You can do a clean sleep.
39:00What sports do you follow or do you like?
39:02I do love tennis.
39:03Favorite player?
39:05Apart from me.
39:07You, obviously.
39:08I was a big Nadal fan.
39:09Yeah.
39:09I also love Sabalenka, though.
39:11Oh, yeah.
39:11She's got a lot of fire in her.
39:12She certainly does.
39:14Right.
39:14Let's see if we can get a tennis question.
39:16That would be nice.
39:18Do you like your NRL?
39:21I, yeah.
39:22Okay.
39:23Well, which men's NRL team has won the most premierships?
39:26Is it the Melbourne Storm, the Penrith Panthers, or the South Sydney Rabbitohs?
39:32Okay.
39:33I don't think it's the Panthers.
39:36Okay.
39:36It could be the Rabbitohs.
39:38Mm-hmm.
39:38But I think, think Melbourne Storm.
39:43Light it up.
39:44Light up Melbourne Storm.
39:47And I'm going to just keep you sweating.
39:49And we'll find out after the break if you're getting close to this $20,000 jackpot.
39:53Stay with us.
40:07So far, so good.
40:09You've played fantastically well.
40:10We've had not a lot of luck with the drops, the way that it's positioned that jackpot counter.
40:15We need three more to play.
40:16Yes.
40:17Which men's NRL team has won the most premierships, was the question before the break.
40:21You went through them all.
40:23You said, I think it's Melbourne Storm.
40:25You follow the footy cam?
40:27No.
40:28No.
40:28I would have absolutely no idea.
40:29I would have said Panthers.
40:30I don't know.
40:31Yeah.
40:31Well, they've won a few, haven't they?
40:32But we'll find out if it is the Storm.
40:38The Rabbitohs have 21 premierships.
40:42But you've got to go back a little bit to when they won them all.
40:44All my time.
40:45Damn.
40:46Right.
40:47One left.
40:49Spreads.
40:49For three?
40:51It's got to be.
40:51For three.
40:52Three for spreads.
40:53All right.
40:57Georgina.
40:57Yeah.
40:58Which of these spreads was created first?
41:01Vegemite, Marmite, Promite.
41:06Ooh.
41:07I don't even know what Promite is or where that's from.
41:11I would think Marmite would have come first, given that England's an older country and we
41:19got it from them pretty much, our own.
41:21I think I want to light up Marmite.
41:25Let's light up Marmite.
41:27Who would have thought that somebody that loves history would be talking about the history
41:31of a spread?
41:32I know.
41:32I'm never going to forget it now.
41:33Particularly if you get it right.
41:35But, is it Marmite?
41:36I'm sorry.
41:39Yeah.
41:40Okay.
41:41Well done.
41:43Okay.
41:43Beautifully worked through.
41:45Now, where to drop?
41:46Because the thing is, if we can get it down, we're still in the game.
41:50Yeah.
41:50I'm going to start in drop zone three.
41:52Okay.
41:53Good luck.
41:54Come on.
41:55All right.
42:00Okay.
42:01Not there.
42:02Right.
42:02Come on, just clear as much off the top so we can make some money down below.
42:08That's good.
42:09Here it goes.
42:12There we go.
42:14Come on.
42:14Give us the double.
42:15Give us the double.
42:16That's going to do it.
42:18Yeah.
42:20Very good.
42:21Now, there's some money.
42:24Beautiful.
42:25Eight came over, including that double, which will give you 1,600 to put into the bank.
42:30Wow.
42:305,600.
42:32Very happy with that.
42:33Right.
42:34Now you've cleared drop zone three.
42:36Yeah.
42:37Are you sticking there?
42:38Are you going back to four?
42:39I'm going to go back to four now.
42:40Yeah.
42:40Great.
42:40Light up four.
42:42Now, this will be good.
42:43Come on.
42:43Get this down.
42:49Gosh.
42:49Come on.
42:52A few balances.
42:54Oh, there's plenty more to come your way.
42:58That's another five.
42:59$6,100.
43:01That's a great day.
43:03Very happy.
43:04So, to make it even better, we've got one counter left here in the jackpot round.
43:08If we can get it down, this game's still well and truly alive.
43:12You ready?
43:13Yeah.
43:14Come on.
43:14Hard left.
43:15Four.
43:16Four.
43:17Here we go.
43:24Okay.
43:25Okay.
43:26Just make sure it...
43:27Come on.
43:27Down you go.
43:28Slowly get...
43:29Oh!
43:33The only thing that it didn't need to do.
43:38Wow.
43:39Well, we can be disappointed it didn't get down, but you can't be too disappointed in the $6,100 that
43:44you've won.
43:45Very happy.
43:46Awesome.
43:47But I'm still going to throw this at you.
43:49We're about to play Jackpot Temptation.
43:54Oh!
43:55Oh, I wish that would come over.
43:58Now, $6,100, that's one of the higher ones that sit there.
44:01But, to win the jackpot, you'd need to give that back to me.
44:07Yeah.
44:08So, where it's sitting, I'm going to give you everything that I can offer.
44:11Okay.
44:12Five counters.
44:13Mm-hmm.
44:14I'm going to increase the value to $50,000.
44:16Oh!
44:18And I'm not done yet.
44:19I'm going to throw in a tropical holiday to the Cook Islands for two.
44:23Staying five nights at Pacific Resort, Rarotonga.
44:26It's valued at over $8,000, thanks to the holiday package pros at Travel Online.
44:32Now, while you contemplate this, we're headed to the newsroom.
44:36Okay.
44:37Georgina, we've gone to the newsroom.
44:39We're now back.
44:40Jackpot's peering off the top shelf.
44:43You'd have to give up $6,100 if you'd take my offer of five counters for $50,000.
44:48Plus a trip to the Cook Islands.
44:50True.
44:51I'm going to ask Cam how he's feeling.
44:52Because he was the one sitting there so anxious.
44:55I'm sweating.
44:56I'm so scared.
44:58Georgina.
44:59Yeah?
44:59Maybe you should play.
45:01Maybe you should.
45:02Oh!
45:03Okay.
45:04So, now all of you remember, remember, you're 23.
45:10You want to do some travel.
45:12Studying.
45:13You brought your best mate Cam along and he's gone, play.
45:18All the mums in the audience are going, take the money.
45:22They are.
45:24What are you thinking?
45:25I think with my luck, five counters won't be enough.
45:29I don't think I can do it for five counters.
45:31I think I'd have to keep it.
45:32You know what I've learnt today about you?
45:34What?
45:34You're one smart young woman.
45:37Well played.
45:39Well played.
45:39Isn't she good?
45:41What a day out.
45:42$6,100, $2,500 in cook by it.
45:46Thanks to Swiss Diamond.
45:47You're going to send me some pictures of the trips, all right?
45:49I will.
45:49I'll be dancing in Egypt.
45:50Cam?
45:52Stop trying to talk her into things you shouldn't be doing.
45:54Thanks to our audience for talking her into the right decision.
45:57And thanks to you at home.
45:59And join us next time when three new contestants drop into our wins.
46:02We're going on tipping bikes.
