00:00The states are sky high as the fate of these three hopeful contestants hangs in the balance.
00:05Who'll dominate the machine and play for our $20,000 jackpot?
00:08I'm Todd Woodbridge. Let's find out on Tipping Point.
00:31Hello everybody, welcome to Tipping Point where these three contestants are ready to take on the machine, so let's meet
00:38them.
00:38I'm Nicole, an Ops Manager from Melinda and I love four-wheel driving. I've even conquered the biggest sand dune
00:43in the Simpson Desert.
00:45Hi, my name's Dale from New South Wales. I think my dad jokes are hilarious and one day I would
00:50like to write a book.
00:51I'm Sutomi, a Bank Manager from Melbourne. If I win the jackpot, it will go towards our wedding later this
00:58year in Kuala Lumpur.
01:00Fantastic, Sutomi. Congratulations.
01:04What's the name of your bride-to-be?
01:06Amanda.
01:07Is she here?
01:07Yes.
01:08Hey, welcome Amanda. How are you?
01:11Now Amanda, have you got the plans all organised? What are they looking like?
01:16Half-baked.
01:18Half-baked? Sutomi, you've got work to do.
01:21This is the other half thought.
01:22Alright, this is the other half. Good luck to you today.
01:25Dale, dad jokes. Can you give me your best one?
01:28Why are crabs no good at charity?
01:32Why are crabs no good at charity?
01:33Because they're shellfish.
01:38What a start to the episode, folks.
01:41Well done, love it.
01:43And Nicole, tell us about the big dune.
01:45Simpson Desert is in Central Australia and Big Red is about 40 metres high and it takes a lot of
01:51power to get up.
01:52And I imagine nerve as well.
01:54Yes.
01:54Well done, you.
01:55I hope you can keep your nerve today here.
01:56You ready to play, everyone?
01:57Absolutely.
01:58Let's get it underway.
01:59We're going to play round one, Bank Builder.
02:06Alright, Bank Builder is your chance to build some serious cash because every counter that you push over that tipping
02:10point, $100 will be added into your bank.
02:12And in the round, you'll each start with three counters.
02:15If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine or
02:20you can pass to one of your opponents for them to play one of theirs instead.
02:24If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds, then we'll have to take a counter away from you.
02:30Now, in the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
02:33Push those over to double the value of your drop along with the two mystery counters.
02:37If you push one of those over, you'll be going home with a guaranteed fantastic prize.
02:41Hands on buzzers.
02:42And here comes your opening question.
02:44First appearing in Big Girls Blouse, Prue and Trude, a snobby shop assistants in which Australian sitcom, Dale?
02:51Kath and Kim.
02:52It is Kath and Kim.
02:54Well done.
02:55I'll play.
02:56Straight into it.
02:57What drop zone then, Dale?
02:58I'll go four.
02:59Light up four.
03:00Good luck, Dale, with the opening drop of the day.
03:08Get down flat.
03:09Yep.
03:11Come on.
03:11It may sit within between those two, though.
03:15Mm-hmm.
03:17Oh, you get one over.
03:19Nice little start, potentially.
03:22Oh!
03:24Good work.
03:25At least you got one.
03:26Good start.
03:27One for one.
03:27So first money comes to you, a hundred goes into the machine, and then we're going to
03:31transfer that into your bank, and you've got the lead.
03:35All right, let's move on to the second question.
03:37A common game in which children jump over each other has what amphibian-inspired name, Dale?
03:43Leapfrog.
03:43Correct, again.
03:44He's off on a flyer.
03:47Let's go four again.
03:49Back to four.
03:49No mucking around, Dale.
03:51It says light up four, please.
03:57All the way to the right.
04:00Sit down in there.
04:02How many can we get off?
04:07A couple.
04:09Oh!
04:09It's a double.
04:09Get flat, it does.
04:12Oh!
04:15Drives and grabs.
04:17Another two.
04:18Gives you 200.
04:19And add it to your tally, Dale.
04:22And you've got $300 with one counter left to play.
04:26All right, next question.
04:27The 2022 film Don't Worry Darling stars Florence Pugh, and which former One Direction member?
04:34Nicole?
04:35Harry Styles.
04:36It is Harry Styles.
04:37Well done, Nicole.
04:39Well done.
04:40I will have a go at drop zone three, please.
04:43Light up three for Nicole.
04:49Well, I was going to say, interestingly, you didn't go to four.
04:54Because Dale had done a fair bit of building in there for you.
04:59And you're going to get the benefit of it.
05:04All right, that was Dale's work, and you've taken $500 from it, Nicole.
05:08To be fair, I chose three.
05:10You did, you did.
05:11$500's gone in the machine, and we're going to put it in your bank.
05:14And you've got yourself a two-counter league.
05:17So Dale's got a single counter left to play.
05:19Nicole has two.
05:20Satomi, you're welcome to jump in at any time.
05:23You've still got all three.
05:24Here we go.
05:25Moving on.
05:26Chris Kringle is a common alternative name for which popular, Dale?
05:30Santa Claus.
05:31That is, Santa Claus.
05:32Festy figure was the rest of the question.
05:35So, Dale, what do you want to do?
05:36You've got one left, and not much has come your way.
05:39Yeah, I'll go three.
05:41Light her up.
05:41Drop zone three.
05:42Last attempt here to build the bank for Dale.
05:50Okay, get down flat.
05:53It does.
05:55That should get the black one in front there, peering over the top shelf down.
06:00That's good, guys.
06:01Come on.
06:04Oh, that's good.
06:05That was awesome.
06:07That's good.
06:09Good work, Doug.
06:10Three correct answers.
06:11And now you've got some money to show for it.
06:13That was half a dozen, so 600 coming your way.
06:17Take it out.
06:18Add it to your bank.
06:20And at the end of your bank builder round, you've got 900.
06:22That gives you a four-counter lead over Nicole.
06:25But you have to sit back and see what Nicole and Satomi can do from here.
06:29Nicole, you've got two left.
06:31Satomi, whenever you're ready.
06:34Come on.
06:35Pressure.
06:35Pressure.
06:36There's a bit of pressure.
06:37Okay, moving on.
06:38Next question.
06:39The finals of which tennis grand slam are typically played in Arthur Ashe Stadium?
06:45Satomi.
06:47Wimbledon?
06:48Oh, it's the US Open.
06:50Yes.
06:51Bad luck, Satomi.
06:52Should have known that.
06:52You've still got plenty to play, but I do have to take that first counter away from you.
06:56So, Nicole, Satomi, two left for the both of you.
07:00Often associated with Chinese cuisine, what is the common name for an iconic biscuit carrying
07:05a paper message?
07:06Nicole?
07:07Fortune cookie.
07:08That is a fortune cookie.
07:11Okay.
07:13I think I will go to drop zone two, please.
07:17Light up drop zone two.
07:18First time we've gone there, Nicole.
07:19Good luck with it.
07:21Okay.
07:29Oh, hopefully it gets down flat.
07:30It should be okay.
07:31There's a bit of room in those first drops.
07:33Okay.
07:34It's a little space here.
07:34And it's lined up nicely, too, to get something off the shelf.
07:40Awesome.
07:41Yep.
07:45Oh.
07:46Damn it.
07:49Tell you what, you've loaded up the tipping point.
07:51Next time.
07:52Nicole, you've got one more chance left in this round to try to clean that up.
07:55So, Tomey, you've still got some money to make as we go to the next question.
07:59The desert plum pudding is traditionally eaten during which seasonal?
08:04Nicole?
08:04Christmas.
08:05It is.
08:06Seasonal holiday.
08:07Sorry.
08:08Okay.
08:12Um, I will go...
08:14You did, just before you move on, you did really well, because it's actually the dessert.
08:18But anyway, you can have a desert plum pudding any time you like.
08:23You're going to play that last counter?
08:24And if so, where do you want to put it?
08:26Drop zone two again, please.
08:28Drop zone two.
08:28Can you clean up that bit of work you did?
08:31Finish off what I started.
08:35Yes.
08:36It's got to get flat, though.
08:39It's sat gently for you.
08:41Awesome.
08:42That might get a wide push off the top.
08:46Yes.
08:46Oh, just a couple.
08:50Oh.
08:51Yay.
08:55Have a look at that.
08:56We've got a lip smacker hanging on the edge.
08:58It's four.
08:59400 goes up.
09:01Awesome.
09:01Take it out of the machine.
09:05And we've got a tie.
09:07Both of you on $900.
09:09Ooh.
09:10So, Tomy.
09:11A lot of ketchup.
09:11A lot of ketchup.
09:12But you've got two counters left, and there's plenty sitting on the tipping point for you.
09:16But you've got to get a question correct.
09:18You have three seconds to answer, and you have no need to buzz in here.
09:21So, here we go.
09:22The second last question is yours.
09:24In August 2020, which popular photo sharing app launched the video function known as Reels?
09:30Tik Tok.
09:32Instagram.
09:34Bad luck.
09:35All right, so Tomy, I've got to take that one away from you, and you've got one more
09:40shot here.
09:40Yep.
09:41The last question of the round for you.
09:43In the film Rush, Formula One driver James Hunt is played by which Hemsworth?
09:53Chris.
09:54Bad luck.
09:55Satomi, I've got to take that last counter away from you.
09:58So, no money to transfer, and at the end of it all, Nicole's got $900 tied with Dale.
10:04Satomi, you're going to have to pick up the pace in quick fire, and that's coming up next
10:09right here on Tipping Point.
10:23Welcome back, everyone, to Tipping Point.
10:25Nicole, Dale, and Satomi are battling it out.
10:27One of them is going to get a chance to play for $20,000 today.
10:30Who's it going to be?
10:31To find that out, we keep moving the game along.
10:34Let's play quick fire.
10:39All right, in quick fire, you'll each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as
10:43possible for every correct answer.
10:45You get a counter to play into the machine.
10:47Now, the contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round, we have to say goodbye
10:51to.
10:52Dale and Nicole are both tied on $900.
10:55Dale, you got the first question correct in the show today, and that gives you the opportunity
11:00to play first, if you would like.
11:02Yeah, I'll play first.
11:03He's going to keep it rolling.
11:04All right, good luck to you, Dale.

11:48Three counters for you to play into the machine.
11:51Where would you like to put the opening one?
11:53One.
11:53One.
11:54Okay.
11:54First time we've been there, so light it up.
12:03Come on.
12:04Oh, it's got all the way over to the left.
12:08It needs to hustle a little further left to be guaranteed of getting something off, folks.
12:14Good job.
12:16Good job.
12:16Oh, lucky.
12:18Good job.
12:21Good job.
12:22Nice work.
12:23Pour over the tipping point into the win zone.
12:25$400 goes into the machine.
12:27We'll leave it there, as you've still got two counters left to play.
12:29Where to now?
12:30We'll go two, please.
12:32Two it is.
12:32Moving across to the right.
12:33Light it up.
12:42Down it goes again.
12:43Nice to be positioned, that one.
12:45Hopefully.
12:46Mystery counter's starting to get into play there.
12:58Unlucky.
12:58Did you see that one go surfing from the top all the way, nearly down in?
13:02It leapfrogged.
13:03It did leapfrog, too.
13:05In the end, only one more.
13:06There are plenty more ready to come.
13:08Let's put $100 up.
13:09$100 up.
13:10$500.
13:11One left to go.
13:12Okay.
13:12Two again, please.
13:13It's got to be, hasn't it?
13:14Light up job zone two.
13:25Oh, that's a rider.
13:29That's going to slide up on top.
13:34Almost.
13:35Unlucky.
13:37So, Dale, at the end of your quickfire round, you've got $500 to show for it.
13:42Let's take it out of the machine.
13:43Put it into your bank.
13:45And you find yourself with $1,400.
13:48Okay.
13:48That's good.
13:49So, Nicole, five counters behind Dale.

14:36Well done.
14:37So what you've managed to do, Nicole, is match Dale with three counters.
14:42Can you find five to tie or six to guarantee yourself to be into the next round?
14:47Where are you going first up?
14:50I will go two, please, Todd.
14:52Light up two.
14:53All right.
15:00Oh, I know.
15:01How lucky.
15:03Okay.
15:04Winona's made a double appearance.
15:06All right.
15:07You've got to work out the timing of the drop to get it to sit down flat.
15:11Yeah.
15:11Here's your second opportunity.
15:13Um, drop zone two again, please.
15:15Light it up.
15:21There you go.
15:22That's a better drop.
15:24That's a bit better.
15:25That's a bit better.
15:29Okay.
15:30Flips.
15:32What's going on?
15:37Lucky.
15:38It's all happening with the machine at the minute.
15:40You've got your five.
15:41That's 500 coming your way.
15:45We'll leave it there.
15:46I don't know how that mystery stayed, but it is still there.
15:49Do you want to go after that, or would you like to look for more bucks in a different
15:52place?
15:53Um, I think two is still looking pretty good and full, so we'll have a go.
15:58Light her up.
15:59Drop zone two.
16:00See if we can clean up that mystery counter.
16:07Oh, no.
16:09Oh, no.
16:09Oh, how real?
16:10It's another rider.
16:12That one just came down very quick.
16:14It did.
16:15All right.
16:16There's a pile on.
16:17So, Nicole, nothing coming out of that one, but you do have 500.
16:21When we transfer it, we'll find Nicole and Dale tied once again.
16:25Excuse me.
16:28So, 1,400 for both Nicole and Dale Satomi.
16:32That's 14 counters.
16:34It is.
16:34Amanda?
16:35Yes?
16:36You need to send all the vibes through here, okay?
16:39Come on, baby.
16:40You can do it.
16:41Yeah.
16:43Right, you've been told, Satomi, you can do it, but it comes down to these 30 seconds.
16:48Yep.
16:4830 seconds is on the clock for you, and your time starts now.
16:53In which Australian capital city is the main university campus of UTS?

17:24Glee.
17:28One singular counter.
17:31Satomi.
17:32It's got to be a two.
17:33Because if you can't find 14, at least you can take a prize home.
17:37Drop zone two for Satomi.
17:42Come on, let's get something.
17:46Come on.
17:48Come on, sit down flat.
17:50Don't you ride again.
17:52Are you all right?
17:53Ooh.
17:54There is a little gap at the front, though.
17:56Can it push to the right?
17:58Oh.
17:59Oh.
18:03Oh, no.
18:08Satomi, the story of your day, unfortunately.
18:11It didn't nudge that mystery counter over, so we've got nothing to transfer.
18:15And that means at the end of our quickfire round, we've got a tie of $1,400 with Nicole
18:21and Dale.
18:22You guys are through.
18:23And Satomi, unfortunately for you, we've found your tipping point.
18:31Satomi and Amanda, good luck with the wedding.
18:33I hope it all goes well.
18:34It's been wonderful having you on the show.
18:36And thanks for joining us.
18:37Nice meeting you, though.
18:38It would be wonderful.
18:39All right, that all means that after the break, Nicole and Dale, you two are going head-to-head.
18:44Who will go on to play for the jackpot of $20,000?
18:47You need to stick around, because that's coming up next.
19:02Welcome back, everyone, to Tipping Point.
19:04Nicole and Dale, one of you will get the chance to play for our jackpot of $20,000.
19:08We'll find out in a moment who it is.
19:09First, though, Nicole, introduce your husband, if you would.
19:14This is Mitch.
19:15G'day, Mitch.
19:15Hello, Todd.
19:16You might recognise him for an earlier episode of Tipping Point.
19:19Great to have you back.
19:21Do you want to remind the viewers how you went while you were here on the show?
19:24I took temptation.
19:26Yeah.
19:26And unfortunately, they all went to the right instead of the left.
19:29No, I'm sorry about that.
19:31But Nicole's got an opportunity to maybe do better than you.
19:35I'm here to finish the job.
19:36Trying to finish the job.
19:38If you did finish the job, what would you do with those dollars?
19:42Nicole?
19:42I will take Mitch on the holiday that he promised me if he won the dollar.
19:46But instead of Japan, we're going to go to Santorini and the Greek Islands.
19:51Oh, that sounds nice.
19:52Lovely.
19:53Well, Dale has got a thing or two to say about you going out on holiday.
19:57Dale, I do have a question for you, and it's about your connection to the Army.
20:02Yeah, just got back into the Army Reserve after 15 years away.
20:06And you had a career in that earlier though, right?
20:08Yeah, about 13 years in the Army Reserve, in the full-time Army, on and off.
20:11Fantastic.
20:12Well, we appreciate what you've done with that.
20:16Now, you've got Michelle with you today.
20:18There you are, Michelle.
20:19Hello.
20:22If Dale was able to do well, what would you like to do with the money?
20:26Well, I might be joining Nicole on the Greek trip.
20:29Right.
20:30Dale doesn't want to go to Greece.
20:32He'll be going somewhere else.
20:32You don't want to go to Greece, Dale.
20:33I'll go to Greece.
20:34Oh.
20:35He's now joining you.
20:36Yeah, okay.
20:36Well, let's see who's going to Greece as we get ready to play head-to-head.
20:45All right, in this round, you'll each be asked two questions.
20:48Answered correctly, you get the counter to play in the machine.
20:50Get it wrong though, your opponent steals that counter.
20:53If you are a little unsure of the answer, you can pass the question to your opponent.
20:58So, Dale, as you were leading in the last round, you received the opening question.
21:03Yes.
21:04A family of venomous creatures once described as the meanest things in creation, stargazers
21:11are what animals?
21:12Pass or play?
21:14I'm going to pass, Todd.
21:16Nicole.
21:17Good pass.
21:19There's probably nothing worse than a venomous snake, so I might go with snake.
21:22Okay.
21:22What would you have said if you had to give an answer, Dale?
21:25I think maybe a spider.
21:26All right.
21:27Nicole, are you correct with snakes?
21:35Neither of you would have been correct.
21:36It's fish.
21:37There you go.
21:39Good pass.
21:40Dale, you've got the counter to play.
21:43There's the mystery hanger there.
21:44I'm going to go two.
21:45Light up job zone two.
21:53Down quickly.
21:54Does it get flat?
21:55That's going to be key.
21:56Oh, I tried to jump on top, but there's a pile of them.
22:01It's going to come across.
22:03Oh, yeah.
22:04That's good.
22:05Come on.
22:10That's good.
22:11That's good.
22:13Dale, you've broken the tie with five over the tipping point, including the mystery counter.
22:17$500 goes in, comes out of the machine into your bank.
22:21You've got $1,900, so Nicole's $1,400, but you can tune in to this.
22:27Thanks to Kogan.com, you're going home with a Kogan 75-inch 4K smart Google TV, including
22:34a sound bar and a wall mount package, and it's valued at over $1,500.
22:40That's great.
22:42All right, so you have the five-counter lead.
22:45Nicole, you've got the next question, and there's still plenty of money sitting there.
22:49So, meeting in the 60s, members of European bands, the Hootenanny Singers and the Hep Stars,
22:57went on to form which famous pop group?
23:00Pass or play?
23:01I think I might pass, Todd.
23:04You're not familiar with them?
23:05No.
23:06Are you, Dale?
23:07Not in the 60s?
23:08No.
23:08Got a stab in the dark?
23:10I'm going to say...
23:12Leonard Skinner.
23:14Leonard Skinner.
23:19Did the European bands, Hootenanny Singers and the Hep Stars, join up to become Leonard Skinner?
23:26I don't know that that matches.
23:31No, it was in fact ABBA.
23:34Oh!
23:35There you go.
23:36So, sorry, Dale, but Nicole gets her counter.
23:40Five behind.
23:41Nicole, can you find five?
23:44Okay, I think I might head to drop zone number one, please.
23:48Light up what?
23:49Good choice.
23:50All right.
23:54Bang.
23:55Crashes down.
23:57There is a gap there, though.
24:01Oh, no.
24:02Only place that you didn't need it to fall, Nicole.
24:05Exactly right.
24:06So, Dale's managed to hang on to the lead of five counters and we'll be back up for the
24:09break to see if he holds it or whether Nicole can make a big comeback and play for our jackpot
24:13of 20,000.
24:14Stay with us on Tipping Point.
24:28Welcome back to Tipping Point.
24:30Nicole and Dale are battling it out.
24:31Dale's been able to separate himself by five counters.
24:34Dale, you've got the next question here in Head to Head.
24:38The name of which of the 50 US states comes first alphabetically?
24:43Pass or play?
24:45I'll play.
24:47Right.
24:47What is it?
24:49I'm just going to start with A.
24:52I'm going to say it's Alabama.
24:54Alabama.
24:55You think he's correct, Nicole?
24:57I would have said Alabama too.
24:58Yep.
24:59Let's find out then if, alphabetically, Alabama is first of the 50 states.
25:08Sure is.
25:12Dale, you can be singing Sweet Home Alabama if you can find some more here.
25:17Which is Leonard Skinner.
25:19Is that right?
25:21Now, I didn't even know that.
25:23That's too much of a coincidence.
25:26We'll go one, please.
25:27Line up one.
25:28Well, the coincidence.
25:37That's a lot.
25:38It's not a good spot.
25:40Oh.
25:42It thought about riding, but it didn't.
25:45Didn't.
25:45Oh, that's good.
25:46That's good.
25:48Couple more, please.
25:51More than a couple.
25:56There's more than a couple.
25:58It ended up being half a dozen, Dale.
26:00$600 coming your way.
26:01It goes up.
26:03Let's put it into your bank.
26:05Okay.
26:06And you got $2,500 and an 11-counter lead.
26:09So, Nicole.
26:10Yes.
26:12You have to get it right, and you have to shake that tipping point.
26:16Here's the last question for you.
26:21Roads, where we're going, we don't need roads, is a famous quote from which classic film franchise?
26:27Pass or play?
26:28I'm not too sure on this one.
26:31Hmm.
26:32I can only pass and hope that Dale doesn't know it.
26:36Hmm.
26:37I know.
26:38I've got a feeling his poker face suggests he might to me.
26:41Okay.
26:42It's from my era.
26:43Yeah.
26:44I've got Back to the Future.
26:46There you go.
26:47He had that look all over him.
26:49Yeah.
26:49Is it Back to the Future?
26:51It goes.
26:53Sure is.
26:56Played well.
26:57Played well.
26:59You're right, Nicole.
27:00He has played well.
27:01And, Dale, you've got that chance to now extend your lead.
27:03Where are you going to play the last counter?
27:07I'll go three.
27:08Three?
27:09It seemed to be the consensus from our audience as well, so light it up.
27:17Come on.
27:19Cool.
27:22Yep.
27:22Okay.
27:24Come on.
27:26What's it going to deliver for you?
27:34Nothing much.
27:35That's a medal.
27:36We've got no money to transfer, but at the end of it all, Dale, you've got 2,500.
27:41You're going to head for the next round.
27:43And, Nicole, unfortunately for you, with only 1,400, we've found your tipping point.
27:50Thanks, Todd.
27:52Now, Mitch is going to say, I did better than you do.
27:55I know.
27:56That's the worst thing about it.
27:58I know.
27:58I hope you two get that holiday to Greece.
28:00Thank you very much.
28:01Lovely to have you on the show, Nicole.
28:02And, Dale, it means that you're going to be playing for this, our jackpot counter, to our $20,000.
28:10You've got the support.
28:12They all hope that you can master our machine.
28:14Can you?
28:14We'll find out next on Tipping Point.
28:29Welcome back, everyone, to Tipping Point.
28:31Dale, you managed to fight off all the opposition, and you've got yourself $2,500 sitting in the bank.
28:36Plenty more to be won.
28:38But before we get going into the jackpot round, Lieutenant, is that what you said you were in the Army?
28:42That's right.
28:43Yeah.
28:43But you also have done a bit of refereeing.
28:46Yes.
28:46So what for?
28:47I've done a lot of community-based refereeing, a lot of state league soccer refereeing.
28:51But one of the things I'm proud of is I've worked with the cerebral palsy team, the Pararoos.
28:56Fantastic.
28:57And I've actually done two internationals with them against Canada and the United States.
29:01Wow, very happy.
29:02From my experience at the Paralympic Games over in Paris, it's an extraordinary thing to be a part of
29:09because you just realise how talented all of those athletes are
29:13and how extra they work to become as good as they can be.
29:17Yes, definitely.
29:17They're an inspiration.
29:19Absolutely, they are.
29:20Well, you know what?
29:21We're feeling inspiration for you because we feel that you've got a great chance here today, don't we, audience?
29:27Are you ready to play the jackpot rounds?
29:29Yes, I am.
29:30Let's do it.
29:35All right, Dale, time to put the jackpot counter into the machine.
29:38You push it back out.
29:39You're going home $20,000 richer.
29:41Now, you've got two doubles still in play.
29:43Does that persuade you in any way of where you'd like to put it?
29:46Oh, yeah, I think drop zone four looks very appealing.
29:48That's the one for you?
29:49Yeah, I think so.
29:50Light up drop zone four and let's see if we can get this jackpot counter into a good position.
30:00Oh, no.
30:02It's going to ride up on top.
30:05All right.
30:07There is work to do.
30:08There is work to do.
30:09The one thing is that it's sitting right on top of one of the counters.
30:13That's better than if it's straddling a couple.
30:16So, no money coming over.
30:18A reminder that every counter that does come over is worth $100 no matter when it falls.
30:22But let's find out what five categories you're going to play today.
30:25You've got TV, geography, sport, money and perfume.
30:32Now, for each category, you can play one, two or three counters.
30:34The more you play, the harder it's going to be.
30:36Where would you like to start and for how many?
30:38I'll go from the top down.
30:39How many?
30:40You're going to play for?
30:41I'll go for three.
30:41Three it is.
30:42Good.
30:42Come on.
30:42All right.
30:43Let's get a good start.
30:45Good luck, Dale.
30:46First question.
30:47The only fictional person to win a gold Logie, Norman Gunston, had the nickname the little
30:54Aussie what?
30:55Was it Bleeder, Bouncer or Bludger?
30:59He used to put the little bits of tissue paper all over his thing.
31:02He used to put the little Aussie Bleeder.
31:04I'm going to light up Bleeder.
31:05Yes, please, Dale.
31:06You seem confident.
31:08Are we correct with Bleeder?
31:12Yes.
31:14Nice work.
31:16All right.
31:18Three counters to get things started.
31:20Okay.
31:20I'm going to light up job zone four.
31:21Yes, please.
31:23Come on, Dale.
31:26Oh.
31:27Now, just sit down.
31:30That's a good start, hopefully.
31:31Nice.
31:32Fingers crossed.
31:33Okay, let's see what it's going to do with this push here.
31:37Yeah.
31:37Not bad.
31:38Start.
31:39Not bad.
31:41Okay.
31:44No money, but we've shuffled it forward.
31:47It is progress.
31:48Let's put in the second counter.
31:56Scott.
31:57Come on, down flat.
31:58Down flat.
31:59Oh, yes.
32:00It looked about.
32:02It thought about riding.
32:04Come on.
32:04Push through.
32:05Push through.
32:05Push through.
32:06Okay.
32:07Not bad.
32:08This is going well.
32:11It's going very well, in fact.
32:13Three team over the tipping point into the win zone.
32:15That gives you $2,800.
32:17What we've got nicely positioned there is those counters sitting behind so that we can shuffle
32:21this over.
32:22Here's the third counter lighter.
32:24Up one more time.
32:25Drop zone four, please.
32:33Get down.
32:35Push something across.
32:36If we can just go left and we'll get a little more lateral.
32:39Come on.
32:40Come on.
32:40No.
32:41There's a bit of weight there.
32:42That's why.
32:42That's okay.
32:43Okay.
32:46Okay.
32:50That's great.
32:51A single counter.
32:52$100 to put in.
32:53That'll give you $2,900.
32:55Not bad.
32:56We've moved it along.
32:58So let's go back to the board.
32:59And if we're moving on down, we've got geography next.
33:02Go for three.
33:03Three.
33:03Great.
33:04Here we go.
33:06Built in the 1960s, what is the capital city of Pakistan?
33:11Is it Lahore, Islamabad or Karachi?
33:15It's a tricky one.
33:17Um, I think I'm going to go Islamabad.
33:21Okay.
33:22I'm going to light up Islamabad.
33:25Are you correct with Islamabad as the capital of Pakistan?
33:31Yes.
33:33Good guess.
33:34Educated guess, we've got.
33:36Awesome.
33:36All right.
33:37We've got three more.
33:38Light up four again for Dale, please.
33:47Get down, get down, get down, get down.
33:49It's okay.
33:50Maybe.
33:51Oh, it fell a bit.
33:52It's going to push between the two.
33:54Yeah.
33:54It should shuffle.
33:55Push a little bit.
33:57Yep.
33:58It's progress.
34:01Yeah, that's good.
34:02And money.
34:03Yeah.
34:04That's good.
34:05The top is moving, shuffling its way forward.
34:07But in the meantime, you've got seven over the tipping point, including that lip smacker,
34:11sitting on the edge of the win zone.
34:13So that will give you 3,600.
34:17That's good.
34:18So the bank is building nicely.
34:20And we'll put the second counter in.
34:22Light her up again, please.
34:23Chop zone four.
34:25Come on, we need it.
34:26In the centre once again.
34:28Come on.
34:31Over there.
34:33That's good.
34:34That's good.
34:35That's good.
34:36I think that is good.
34:37I hope so.
34:38The issue for us is that little bit of weight, because it's sitting on top.
34:41Yeah, it's certainly a little bit.
34:43Yeah.
34:45It's okay.
34:47Oh, double.
34:48Double is down.
34:50Another three, including the double.
34:52So another 600.
34:53So we're now over 4K.
34:544,200.
34:56That's good.
34:56And you can see the issue there with the jackpot counter.
34:59It needs direct hits to get it moving forward, because it's riding.
35:03So we've got one more opportunity here with this category.
35:05Let's go back there.
35:06Drop zone four.
35:09Come on, come on.
35:10Come on down.
35:17Let's hope it nudges that a bit.
35:20We need a hard lateral push.
35:22I think this one gets pushed to its right, though.
35:24Ooh, look at it go.
35:26That's okay.
35:27All right.
35:28We're getting closer.
35:29We've got no more to play, so we have to go back to the categories.
35:33Okay.
35:34Sports next.
35:35Yeah, three.
35:35Three it is.
35:39In 1985, who became the youngest ever winner of the men's singles final at Wimbledon?
35:46Was it Michael Shtick, Stefan Edberg, or Boris Becker?
35:51Uh, I'm going between Edberg and Becker, and I think it might have been Boris Becker.
35:59Light up Boris Becker, and I'm going to make you sweat on it a little bit, because we'll
36:02find out after this break if you're a step closer to winning this $20,000 jackpot.
36:08Stay with us.
36:21Well, welcome back, everyone, to Tipping Point.
36:23Dale has $4,200, and he's looking at me all through the ad break.
36:27He knows I know the answer to this question, because I played against all three of those.
36:32Yeah, wow.
36:33That's awesome.
36:33The question to you was, in 1985, who became the youngest ever winner of the men's singles
36:39final at Wimbledon?
36:41Your lovely wife, Michelle, is sitting there going, when you've made the decision of Boris
36:45Becker, are you confident?
36:47Fairly.
36:48Well, let's find out, if you're both right.
36:51Is it Boris Becker?
36:55Of course it is.
36:57Well done, Becker.
37:00Well done.
37:01You aced it, so to speak.
37:03All right, we've got three more to play.
37:05We need them to come in sort of central left to nudge this down, and then we're in really
37:09good shape.
37:10So, good luck with it.
37:11Let's put the first counter in.
37:12Light up four again, please.
37:22It's a rider.
37:23It's a rider.
37:24It doesn't matter.
37:31He's still going to get some money.
37:33Don't give him such a hard time.
37:34There you go.
37:36That's a lost court.
37:38That's two.
37:39That'll give you 4,400.
37:42That's good.
37:43But we do need to hone in.
37:44The timing is important, Dale, as we light it up once again.
37:53Oh, come on.
37:58Okay.
37:58All right.
37:59That's going to be good.
38:00It's going to come to the left.
38:01I don't know if it's got enough weight, though.
38:04Yeah.
38:06But the thing with that is that we've done a bit of blocking.
38:11We've got the block behind it that it can now laterally push it over.
38:14So it's two more.
38:164,600 sits in the bank.
38:18If we could get it down now, then we've got a good shot with the final two questions.
38:22Okay.
38:23Light up four.
38:25Come on now.
38:26Everybody, think about where we need it to go.
38:38I don't think that's going to be enough of a lateral.
38:43Oh, gosh.
38:44I don't think that's a bit.
38:44I missed it by that much.
38:46You're going to get some money again.
38:48Another three.
38:50Two and a late drop with a single.
38:53Gives you 300 more.
38:54We're almost at 5K.
38:564,900.
38:57That's good.
38:58So we've got good money, but we need counters.
39:00So let's go back again.
39:01Money, money, money is next.
39:03Three, please.
39:04Three for money.
39:07It's another one of those Hapa songs, isn't it?
39:09It is.
39:09You didn't get earlier in the show.
39:11Not Linninsky.
39:12No.
39:12Sweet home Alabama.
39:15What is the name of Denmark's official currency?
39:19Is it a gilder, kroner or frank?
39:23I believe it's a kroner.
39:26Light up kroner.
39:28Why do you believe that?
39:30The Dutch is gilder and French and Belgium are franks.
39:33You know, I think it's a kroner.
39:37I've been told.
39:40Is it a kroner?
39:48Nicely done.
39:49Be good to get it down in this first one if we could.
39:51We need everybody to think a little left here, okay?
39:55Light her up.
39:57Come on.
39:58All the way to the left.
40:00Lean that way.
40:09Okay.
40:10I don't know what that's going to do.
40:14Just going to keep shuffling.
40:16Keep on shuffling.
40:17Okay.
40:18Let's put the second one in.
40:20Everybody do a bit of a Merv fuse and go over this way, yeah?
40:24Come on, left.
40:25Light her up.
40:27Come on.
40:28Yes, Sam.
40:29It worked.
40:33Come on.
40:35Come on.
40:36Come down.
40:37Come on.
40:37Come on down.
40:38Come on down.
40:39Come on down.
40:39Come on down.
40:40Come on down.
40:49Well, Merv did his trick.
40:51We got one over the tipping point, so you've got 5K now sitting up there.
40:55That's your money.
40:58But I was hoping it would come down and flip.
41:01It's actually still sitting on the top, so we've got work to do.
41:05Let's put the final counter in of this money question.
41:08Light her up.
41:14Oh, that was a spin-up.
41:16That was more of a warn-y, that one.
41:17It was a warn-y.
41:19Yeah, leg break.
41:19Down it goes.
41:21Now, this might fill the gap that I was talking about at the front, which we need done.
41:25It does.
41:25Okay.
41:26All right.
41:27That had to happen.
41:28So, that gives us a chance to go back for the one last category left.
41:32Okay.
41:33Which is perfume.
41:37Perfume for how many?
41:38Three, please, darling.
41:39All right.
41:40Three for perfume.
41:43God is a woman is the name of a fragrance released by which pop singer?
41:49Ariana Grande, Madonna or Kylie Minogue?
41:52Does Michelle have any God is a woman sitting in the bathroom there?
41:58She may.
42:03I think it's Ariana Grande.
42:07Okay.
42:08Light her up.
42:10Why do you think that?
42:12I bought some Ariana Grande for Michelle just recently, and I thought I saw one of those ones
42:17on the shelf, but I'm not 100% sure.
42:24I don't know.
42:27Let's hope he bought it for you, Michelle.
42:34We'll just keep playing the game, okay?
42:37Right-o, is it Ariana Grande?
42:41Yes, it is.
42:46Oh, golly me.
42:48You killed it, Dale.
42:49Well done to you.
42:50It was a fluke there.
42:51Fantastic.
42:51I'm not so sorry.
42:53He's playing it cool, but he actually knew.
42:56All right.
42:58We are smelling sweet here.
42:59We've got three counters left to play.
43:01Let's light up drop zone four.
43:02Come on now.
43:03Here we go.
43:10It's not all that bad.
43:14Oh, that's a winona.
43:21Okay.
43:23All right.
43:23Let's go back there again.
43:24Light her up.
43:27Come on, Dale.
43:29Come on, Dale.
43:30Oh.
43:33Oh, okay.
43:34They've come down by themselves.
43:37A couple over the tipping point, and there's still another push to go.
43:42No.
43:42Okay.
43:43It's loaded up that top shelf, but two more coming your way.
43:46$5,200, and we now have the final counter in our jackpot round.
43:54So we need to shuffle it forward, so then we can have a bit of a good discussion.
43:58Light her up.
44:05Oh, that's good.
44:07Sit down.
44:08Sit down flat.
44:09Oh.
44:11That's another rider.
44:15Okay.
44:18Well, nothing's going to come over, but at the end of our jackpot round, you've got $5,200,
44:23Dale.
44:24Well done.
44:27But it's not over.
44:29Because we are going to play Jackpot Temptation.
44:35Well, you've played fantastically well.
44:37There is no doubt about that.
44:38You've got yourself $5,200.
44:40That is yours to take home.
44:42Or perhaps I can tempt you to risk it all for that chance.
44:46For the $20,000, or perhaps even more, would you be willing to play Jackpot Temptation?
44:52So what have you got for me?
44:55Well, I think you need four.
44:57Or, I'm going to turn the jackpot, though, from $20,000 to $40,000.
45:02Or, I'll offer you five for its original value of $20,000.
45:06While you contemplate it, we're going to the newsroom.
45:09All right, Dale, before we went to the newsroom, I gave you two offers.
45:13Four for $50,000.
45:15Five for the original value of $20,000.
45:17And if you were to take one of my offers, of course, you've got to give up $5,200.
45:21What were you saying, Michelle?
45:23You were saying go for it?
45:24Take the $5,000.
45:25I thought you said go for it.
45:26No, take the $5,000.
45:29And what were you thinking, Dale?
45:31Oh, look, Todd, I think I've worked hard for that $5,200.
45:35No.
45:35No.
45:36No.
45:36No.
45:37No.
45:38I think I'll stick with the money.
45:39Oh, I almost had him too, Michelle.
45:42Well played.
45:44Congratulations, Dale.
45:45I thought, oh, I had to stick with that.
45:49Fantastic.
45:49You played great.
45:51Hey, Michelle, lovely to have you on the show.
45:53Thanks for watching, everybody.
45:55As Dale walks away with $5,200.
45:57And please join us next time when three new contestants push their luck to the very edge of Tiffin' Point.
