00:00Can one of these three contestants feel the love tonight or will they be scarred by our vindictive machine?
00:05Who will be prepared to 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 the machine. So let's meet them.
00:36Hi, I'm Jason. I'm an author from South Australia. And if I win the money today, I'm going to buy
00:41a boat and call it the Hot Toddy.
00:45Hi, I'm Karen, a physio assistant from Mount Dundonong, Victoria. If I win today, I'm going to visit the Champagne
00:52House of Berkley Co. in Reams, Paris.
00:56Hi, I'm Tyson and I'm a real estate agent from South Yarra. I'm a former professional ballet dancer and I'm
01:01here to plié my way all the way to the jackpot round.
01:05Righto, Tyson. If you're going to plié your way all there, can we see a little bit of that?
01:10Give you a little something something.
01:11Yeah.
01:12Oh, no way, Tyson.
01:15Holy boy.
01:18That hurt.
01:19Tell us a little bit about your career. You're a long-time professional for the Australian Ballet.
01:23Yeah, I was there for five years. I went to the ballet school and then I decided to leave in
01:262021 and I joined real estate.
01:27Yeah, fantastic. We look forward to seeing what other moves you've got throughout the game today.
01:32Karen, lovely to have you. It's a really, really beautiful story that we've got because you need to introduce your
01:37parents, please.
01:38Yes, I'd like to introduce my mum and dad.
01:40Yep.
01:41John and Sheila.
01:42Yes.
01:42And they've come all the way from the UK just to be here today.
01:46How long since you two have seen Karen?
01:502018.
01:512018 was the last time you saw. So Tipping Point has brought you all together again.
01:56Again, yes.
01:57We love that. That's fantastic. Well, we're very pleased and privileged to have you in our audience.
02:04Magnus, good luck, Karen.
02:05Well, they did want me to win so I could send them back business class.
02:08Exactly.
02:09And you can go back to some champers as well. Good stuff, Karen.
02:13Jason, I love that intro. The hot toddy boat. Tell us a little bit about that.
02:17But also your author and your career of that.
02:20Yes. So I have written books for a very long time.
02:25I have delved mostly in fantasy and science fiction and horror.
02:30I love telling stories.
02:31Well, it sounds like you've got a fair bit up your sleeve today.
02:33Good luck to you and to Karen and Tyson.
02:36It's time for us to play Round One Bank Builder.
02:42All right. In Bank Builder, it's your chance to build some serious money.
02:46Every counter that you push over the Tipping Point, $100 will be added into your bank.
02:50And in the round, you'll each start with three counters.
02:53If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine
02:57or you could ask one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead.
03:00If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds,
03:03then I'll have to take a counter away from you.
03:05In the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
03:08If you push one of those over, you'll double the value of your drop,
03:11along with the two mystery counters, which will guarantee you a great price
03:15if you could get one of those over.
03:17Are you ready? Here comes the opening question.
03:20Which day of the week is the only one that has a nine-letter name?
03:24Jason.
03:25Wednesday.
03:25Correct.
03:30I think I'd like to play Thanks, Mr Woodbridge.
03:32Oh, very formal.
03:34And light it up for drop zone two.
03:37Drop zone two.
03:38Light it up.
03:45There she goes.
03:46That's OK.
03:46I think that's directly behind the black, which should get something off the top, Jason.
03:50It does.
03:52What comes from the bottom shelf?
03:55Oh!
03:58Two over the tipping point to get us started today.
04:01200 will go in the machine for you, Jason.
04:03Let's transfer it from there.
04:04Put that into your bank, and we're off and racing.
04:09Here is your second question.
04:11Indicating a conclusive victory, the phrase,
04:13game, set, match, is taken from which sport?
04:16Jason.
04:17Tennis.
04:17Of course it is.
04:19You going to play your next one?
04:20I would like to pass it to Karen.
04:25Karen.
04:27Here's an opportunity for you.
04:29Drop zone two.
04:30Light it up again.
04:31Jason did a little bit of work.
04:33Karen, get a better payday from it.
04:40Oh, it's sitting in between two ever so slightly here.
04:45Oh.
04:47Doesn't get enough push.
04:48So, Jason, a nicely played piece of tactics by you.
04:52I'm sorry, but I'm not.
04:54No problems.
04:55That's what the game's about, Jason.
04:57Here comes your next question.
04:59What is the only capitalised letter in Apple's trademark spelling of the word iPhone?
05:04Jason.
05:05P.
05:05It is P, yes.
05:09Nice work, Jason.
05:10What to do this time then?
05:11I will play.
05:12Yeah.
05:13And drop zone two.
05:14Yeah, let's do it.
05:23Oh, come on.
05:26Give me the mystery.
05:27That'll work around.
05:28Oh.
05:29Wow.
05:29Oh.
05:30Oh.
05:30Beautiful.
05:38Oh, no mystery, but a plethora of counters for you, Jason.
05:43Ten came over that tipping point.
05:45Double figures.
05:47$1,000 is going to come out of the machine.
05:50And you'll have $1,200.
05:52And the lead all by yourself.
05:54Nice work, Jason.
05:55One counter left to play.
05:57You've got a 12-counter lead over Karen and Tyson.
05:59Karen, you've still got two.
06:00Tyson has all three.
06:01Yeah.
06:02Moving on to the next question.
06:04Typically a floral garland, lays are famously presented to people arriving in which US state?
06:09Jason?
06:10Hawaii.
06:11That's correct.
06:15Drop zone two.
06:16Let's do it.
06:17After the mystery, clean it out all together and then Karen and Tyson can have a go.
06:27Oh, come on.
06:30My wife wants a Thermomix.
06:31Let's go.
06:34Oh.
06:35She's going to have to wait for that, Jason.
06:38I think that's going to hang on.
06:40So nothing out of your last counter.
06:42And you've got yourself 1,200 as you need to sit back and see what Karen and Tyson can do.
06:47Here's your next question.
06:49The words espresso and cappuccino are directly borrowed from which European language?
06:53Karen?
06:54Italian.
06:55Correct.
06:56Yes.
06:57Where not?
06:59I'm going to light up too, please.
07:01Light it up.
07:03Here it goes.
07:04Can Karen get this mystery counter?
07:09Here it goes.
07:11Look, it's time to get on down.
07:15There you go.
07:23Well done.
07:26Some money in the bank and a mystery counter.
07:28Three in total, Karen.
07:29$300 will go up and we'll take it from our machine.
07:32Put that into your bank and you'll be nine behind Jason.
07:37But Karen, I don't have a Thermomix for you.
07:40But what I do have, all the way from the South Sea and Raw Pearls of Adelaide,
07:44you're going home with this stunning pearl necklet, valued at $2,500.
07:52Well done.
07:54Right, Karen, you've got one counter left to play.
07:56Nine behind Jason.
07:58Tyson, any time now.
08:01Moving on to the next question.
08:03The Alaskan Malamud is a large breed of what domestic animal?
08:06Tyson.
08:07Dog.
08:08He's in the game.
08:08Well done.
08:10All right.
08:12So, Tyson, five counters have gone into drop zone two.
08:15We haven't played anywhere else.
08:17I would do drop zone three, please.
08:19Light up three for Tyson.
08:28Yeah, that should be all right, I think.
08:31Get something over.
08:33Come on, Tyson.
08:34Yay.
08:37Go, go, go, go.
08:38Go, go, go, go, go.
08:39Well done.
08:41So, two gets you started.
08:43$200 goes into the machine.
08:44Let's put it in the bank, Tyson.
08:46And you're one behind Karen.
08:47Three questions left for the round.
08:49Which Australian Prime Minister is the only one to have a surname beginning with the letter T?
08:55Tyson.
08:56Malcolm Turnbull.
08:57That's correct.
08:57Well done.
09:01Drop zone three again, please.
09:03Light up drop zone three.
09:05All right.
09:14Don't squeeze in between the two rows there.
09:17That's gone the right direction, Tyson.
09:18Yay.
09:21Go, go, go, go.
09:25Creeping up on it.
09:27Doubled the amount this time.
09:28Four over the tipping point.
09:29So that's $400.
09:30We'll put that into the bank and it'll hard the gap.
09:32So, Jason.
09:33Six behind.
09:35Second last question of the round.
09:37The name of which Bohemian New York City neighbourhood is short for South of Halston Street.
09:42Tyson.
09:43Soho.
09:44Correct.
09:44Well done.
09:46Okay, Tyson.
09:47Drop zone one, please.
09:49Light up one.
09:49First time we've gone all the way to the left.
10:00Head's left.
10:00Spins all the way back to the right.
10:04Oh.
10:05Come on.
10:06Go, go, go.
10:10And you find another two.
10:12So you made a game of it, Tyson.
10:14$200 goes up and at the end of your round you'll have $800 and that'll be four behind Jason.
10:20So, Karen, you're five behind Tyson.
10:22Here's your closest one at the moment.
10:24You've got the final counter.
10:25You don't need to buzz in.
10:26You do need to give an answer.
10:27You've got three seconds.
10:28Here it is.
10:29Robin Williams plays which iconic spinach-slurping sailor in a 1980 film?
10:37I don't know.
10:39Popeye.
10:40Oh.
10:41You could have done that while you said the first time.
10:43I couldn't do it.
10:44You said I don't know.
10:46Oh, Karen, I've got to take that counter away from you.
10:49And so that would mean at the end of our bank builder round we've got a tight game going on.
10:53Jason played brilliantly early.
10:55He's got $1,200.
10:56Karen's got $300.
10:57Tyson with $800.
10:59And to separate you three in our next round you'll be playing Quickfire.
11:03So stay with us on Tipping Point.
11:16Welcome back, everyone.
11:17We've got Jason, who's an author, Karen, a physio assistant, and Tyson, who is a real estate agent, all hoping
11:23to play for $20,000 today.
11:25If one of you are going to get through, we need to play our next round, and that is Quickfire.
11:33And so in this round, you'll each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
11:38For every correct answer, I'll give you a counter to play into the machine.
11:41Now, unfortunately, for the player with the lowest score at the end of this round, we have to say goodbye.
11:46But, Jason, for you, you have the lead here by four over Tyson, and it gives you the opportunity to
11:52play in first if you would like to.
11:54Yes, I would like to play, thank you.
11:55Good one.
11:59Good luck to you.
12:00I'm going to put 30 seconds on the clock, and your time starts.

12:45Light it up, all right?
12:54Okay, first time we've been here, it can be a little troubling at times.
12:58I'm seeing a lot of shadow down the bottom.
13:01Yeah, well, now you might be able to get some of them.
13:08It was five and an extra one became six, a half a dozen.
13:12$600 goes up and we'll keep it there for the moment.
13:14As you get ready with your second counter.
13:17Drop zone four.
13:18Okay.
13:25Oh, no.
13:28That one's Winona.
13:29It's jumped on top.
13:31The rider is there.
13:33Oh.
13:33All right, okay.
13:35Still not bad.
13:37$600 I'm going to take from the machine, Jason, and you'll sit back with $1,800 and see what
13:41Karen and Tyson can do.
13:45So, Tyson, you're up next if you'd like to.

14:56Woo!
14:57Woo!
15:00Not as many as I thought you might get.

15:03So, 200 is your starter.
15:04What are you going to do with the second counter?
15:06I'll light up four again, please.

16:02There is one that is completely over the edge.
16:05It's not going to come in time for you, Tyson.

16:07So you did get a single.
16:08So 100 goes up.

17:45Light up four.
17:47Sorry.
17:48The intensity.
17:49I was in the zone.
17:50You certainly were.
17:52I've lit it up for you now.
17:54I just wasn't sure where you were going.
17:59On the left.
18:00On the left.
18:01Oh.
18:02Is it dry?
18:03I think you're good.
18:04You're good.
18:04That might get those three grey ones down.
18:07Come on.
18:07Yes.
18:07There they go.
18:08Come on.
18:09Come on.
18:09Come on.
18:10Come on.
18:10Come on.
18:11Come on.
18:12Oh.
18:15Holy moly.
18:17You're going to get another push.
18:18It's not done yet.
18:21Oh.
18:21Oh, wow.
18:22Good job.
18:25Well, Tyson, I told you that you've done the work for Karen.
18:29Yeah.
18:29And she's come through with the goods.
18:31You got nine over, including a double.
18:34That's 1,800.
18:37That's amazing.
18:38Good job.
18:41That's incredible.
18:42You've got one more to go, though.
18:44Okay.
18:44Could you like to drop some three?
18:46Certainly can.
18:48You get back in the zone.
18:53Oh, another stabbing drop.
18:57Still a good pile right in front of where you've put that counter, Karen.
19:01Oh.
19:06Oh.
19:06But it fills the gap.
19:09Well, let's take 1,800 out of the machine, add it to the telly from earlier, Karen, and
19:14you'll sit back with the lead at $2,100.
19:21Wow.
19:22At the end of our quickfire round, Jason's got 1,800.
19:26Karen, you've got the lead.
19:28And Tyson, unfortunately, you set it all up.
19:30Yeah.
19:31But it means we've found your tipping point.
19:36I hope you've enjoyed your time with us.
19:39Thank you, Tyson.
19:40And that means that coming up is Jason and Karen about to go head-to-head.
19:43Who'll go on to play for the 20,000?
19:45And it is going to be a battle royale here on Tipping Points.
19:59Welcome back, everybody.
20:01Jason and Karen about to go head-to-head.
20:03Just three counters separating the two of you.
20:05It's quite the game, this one.
20:06It's been fantastic.
20:07Jason, before we get into it, though, you're from Hindmarsh Island in South Australia.
20:11Beautiful part of the world.
20:13And we haven't spoken to your lovely wife, Kate.
20:17Oh, she's my rock.
20:20Absolute legend.
20:24You two have got two lovely kids.
20:26We do.
20:26Tell us about them.
20:27So we have our eldest, Logan, and he has additional needs.
20:31Yeah.
20:31He has autism and intellectual disability.
20:34And then we have our six-year-old daughter, Lottie.
20:36And she's a firecracker.
20:37But they're both beautiful children and they're so excited that Daddy's here today.
20:40So they'll be watching.
20:42And going well as two.
20:43I wonder if you did have some success, whether you'd sing about it, Jason, because I hear
20:47you like a bit of karaoke.
20:49You've even been in competitions.
20:51Yes, yes.
20:52Two-time state finalist.
20:53Wow.
20:54So what'd you sing?
20:56A whole bunch of stuff.
20:58But, yeah, Mustang Sally's probably a good go-to.
21:01I like that.
21:01But, yeah, a lot of, you know, Tom Jones and Joe Cocker and all that kind of thing.
21:06Some good stuff there.
21:07Talking about Tom Jones, it's a nice segue to you, Karen.
21:10Going back to the UK.
21:12And this fantastic little story that's come about from your mum and dad coming down here.
21:17So when you rang them and said you're on the show, what actually happened?
21:20So I rang them and said, my dad loves Tipping Point UK.
21:23So I rang them and said, I've got on Tipping Point.
21:25And you'd sent the date.
21:26And then about two weeks later, I'd get a text message while I'm eating my tea going,
21:31Dad's on his way.
21:32Fantastic.
21:32And, John, whereabouts are you two from exactly now?
21:35We're from Blackpool in Lancashire.
21:37And tell me about your love of Tipping Point.
21:39That is a thing to do in the afternoon.
21:41What do you think of our version compared to Ben Shepard's version?
21:46Well, yours is a bit more easy going, like, you know.
21:49Yeah.
21:49It's a bit more...
21:50Oh, God.
21:52The English one's a bit...
21:53Better?
21:55Better, yes.
21:55Thank you, yes.
21:57I was going to get it out of you somehow, John.
22:00Well, there's some two very special stories in play today.
22:04So one of you will get through to play for the $20,000 jackpot.
22:08Good luck to you both as you get set to play Head to Head.
22:15In this round, you'll each have two questions.
22:17If you answer your question correctly, you get the counter to play into the machine.
22:20If you get it wrong, your opponent steals the counter.
22:23If you aren't sure of your question, you can pass it.
22:26Now, Karen, you will get the first question as you're in the lead.
22:30Here it is.
22:33Designed by Vincent Kinnair for children,
22:36which computer font is often called the world's most hated?
22:40Pass or play?
22:42I think I'll pass.
22:44Yeah.
22:45I'm glad you did.
22:46Oh.
22:48Is it Comic Sans?
22:49And that's what I was going to say.
22:50Were you going to say that, Karen?
22:53We'll find out.
22:53Is it Comic Sans?
22:58Yes.
23:01Chos my god.
23:03Should have gone.
23:04That's a steal for Jason.
23:06All right.
23:07Three is the difference.
23:10One.
23:11One.
23:11Three.
23:12My lovely wife is saying three.
23:15So that's where you're going to go?
23:16Yes.
23:16Okay.
23:16Light it up.
23:27Now to go left.
23:29It shouldn't nudge.
23:30That black one's out.
23:32Don't ride.
23:32Don't ride.
23:34Oh.
23:40Listen to your wife.
23:42Oh my lord.
23:44You've been told, listen to your wife.
23:46Lucky you did, Jason, because it got you eight over the tipping point.
23:49Nice.
23:50Eight hundred.
23:51Let's take it from there.
23:53Put that in the bank.
23:54The lead has changed hands.
23:55Two thousand six hundred.
23:56A five counter deficit.
23:58And now that means, Jason, you've got your first question.
24:04Located in the Hemersley Range, Karajini National Park is in which Australian state or territory?
24:11No idea, pass.
24:15All right, Karen.
24:17I'm going to go New South Wales.
24:18Let's find out if it is New South Wales.
24:23No.
24:24Western Australia, it is.
24:26Jason, good pass by you.
24:28You've got your counter back.
24:29I'll go with three again.
24:31Okay.
24:31Backdrop zone three.
24:32Okay.
24:36Backdrop zone three.
24:41Oh, it does sit.
24:42Be good to me.
24:42Be good to me.
24:43That was good first bit because I got flat for you, Jason.
24:46Come on.
24:47I've got to get some jury out of this.
24:49Oh.
24:52Oh.
24:54Well, the lead has changed hands, but the game is by no means over.
24:58And we'll be back after the break to see who goes on to play for the $20,000 jackpots.
25:14Welcome back to Tipping Point.
25:16Jason, Karen, five counters are the difference at the moment.
25:19Karen, you've got this next question.
25:24Adopted by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in 1909,
25:28what are the two official colours of Wimbledon?
25:32Pass or play?
25:35I'm going to pass.
25:40I've got to go, just a sheer guess, white and red.
25:44Would you have gone white and red, Karen?
25:46I'd have gone white and green.
25:48Would you?
25:49Well, Jason's gone white and red.
25:51Does he give you a counter back in the game?
25:57Green and purple.
25:59Green and purple?
26:00Green and purple.
26:01Right, Karen.
26:02Five counters behind, you are, so this is going to be crucial for you.
26:06Where are you playing?
26:08The audience are shouting one, so I'm going to go with the audience.
26:11Todd, light up Zopto one.
26:13Let's do that.
26:14I've only been there once before.
26:22Oh, that knocks one off the top and it rides.
26:27Oh, yes.
26:28Oh, yes.
26:28Come on.
26:28No.
26:29Flip, flip.
26:29Yep, yep.
26:30Go, go, go.
26:31Yes!
26:33Woo!
26:35Ball, Jason.
26:37Wow.
26:38It's a tie.
26:39Five came over.
26:40$500 goes up.
26:42Oh, God.
26:43Let's take it.
26:44Move it into the bank.
26:46$2,600 each.
26:49Cannot be any closer than this.
26:51So, Jason, you've got the final question.
26:54Whoever gets the counter most likely goes through.
26:58Here it is.
27:01Goodbye, farewell and amen is the 1983 series finale of which US sitcom set in wartime?
27:11Pass or play, Jason?
27:14I'm going to try for this one.
27:16Is it mash?
27:19What would you say, Karen?
27:20I would have said mash.
27:22Is mash the correct answer?
27:27It is.
27:29Oh, brilliant.
27:33So, Jason, you've got to get one counter here.
27:37Light up drop zone one, please, Todd.
27:38Okay.
27:40Light it up.
27:49Oh, I guess.
27:52That'll go to the left.
27:53Probably knock something off the side, does it?
27:56Yeah.
27:59Come on, you beautiful thing.
28:10It's out of play.
28:11Oh, wow.
28:12So, in an extraordinary ending to our head to head round.
28:17Jason, Karen with 2,600 each.
28:20It means we have a tie-break.
28:27and so it all comes down to this if you buzz in and answer correctly you will be going through
28:33if you get it wrong you'll be going home and here comes your tiebreak question when written
28:39as a numeral how many zeros are in 1000 jason three correct it was just a battle of the buzzer
28:48jason great reflexes by you you are safe and unfortunately karen we found your tipping
28:54points oh karen there's still a lot of good that has come out of today you're not leaving empty
29:01handed you've got your necklet and it meant that we got your family out here for you guys to be
29:07back together once more so it's been wonderful having you and all of you in our stand today
29:12and jason you snuck through but you've got your chance to play for the jackpot counter it's worth
29:18twenty thousand dollars and we'll find out whether you can take that bag of cash home right after the
29:24break
29:41super great game today jason threw in the tiebreak you got yourself two thousand six hundred dollars
29:46that's the beginning because we want you to go home with the jackpot but to do that me too we
29:52need to
29:52find out a little bit more about you before we put that into the machine because a published author
29:56in quite a few different things you're talking about sci-fi all sorts of things yeah i've been
30:00writing since i was a kid and i've dabbled in just about everything but mostly the fantastic and the
30:06strange and the unusual yeah you know things that you know the sort of what if questions well one of
30:11the things that you know that i picked up on before kate you mentioned your son logan has some autism
30:16and you've had to you know do a lot of work through that and you do writing in those spaces
30:20for
30:21autism be a little more specific about that if you could absolutely so my lovely wife and i we
30:27put together this business to specifically deal with autistic writers out of the back of me going
30:34out to schools and libraries and delivering writing workshops and i noticed the um the people that had
30:40the most interesting ideas were on the spectrum and i said there's something to this and it went
30:45gangbusters and it grew we changed a lot of lives and we helped a lot of people sort of connect
30:50and
30:50make friends and it was just a beautiful thing to find people like myself and my son and help them
30:56one of the things though that i feel with you it oozes out of you is positivity i know that
31:00you
31:00you don't like debbie downers you like people to see the right side of life so that would mean
31:05let's get the positivity into the machine we're going to play the jackpot round then jason
31:13right kind of put the jackpot into the machine push it back out there's your 20 000 unless you
31:18decided to go into drop zone one on the top shelf there is still a double if you're able to
31:23push that
31:23over together could be 40 000 what are you thinking jason
31:29yep the the ones are in there's not one person who doesn't say one here so i'm going to light
31:35that
31:35up light up drop zone one

31:54early but it might hang around
