00:00I ask the questions, the machine holds the counters, and our three contestants are about
00:04to light it up for our incredible $20,000 jackpot.
00:09I'm Todd Woodbridge, let's play Tipping Point.
00:32Welcome, everyone, to Tipping Point. These three contestants are ready, so let's meet them.
00:36Hi, I'm Sue. I'm a retired teacher from Bow Morris.
00:39If I'm lucky enough to win the jackpot, I'd like to go on some luxury train trips like the Garn.
00:46My name's Xavier. I'm from Sydney. I've been a hypnotist and a mentalist for the last 20 years,
00:50and Tipping Point's my dad's favourite game, so I applied just to bring him on the show.
00:54Hi, my name's Samantha, and I'm a stay-at-home mum of two beautiful boys from Melbourne,
00:59and if I win, I'd love to take the family on a holiday to Hawaii.
01:02Sounds nice, Samantha.
01:05What are the boys' names?
01:06Reid and Richie.
01:07And why Hawaii?
01:08My boys are obsessed with volcanoes,
01:10and we found out that there's a national volcanic park there,
01:15so we'd love to take the boys so they could check it out in person.
01:18That sounds fantastic. Okay, well, good luck.
01:20Let's hope you might be able to get that today, Samantha.
01:23Thanks.
01:23Xavier, welcome to you.
01:25A mentalist and a...
01:26Hypnotist.
01:27Really? Yeah.
01:29We'll get to that perhaps a little bit later.
01:31Sure.
01:32You need to introduce your dad.
01:33That's Bob, everybody.
01:35His name's Robert, but I call him Bob.
01:36Hi, everyone.
01:37G'day, Bob.
01:38Lovely to have you on the show.
01:40Let's hope he goes well today, hey?
01:42I hope so.
01:43Good luck, Xavier.
01:44And Sue, the Garn.
01:46Any others you'd like to travel on?
01:47Oh, definitely Todd.
01:48The Rocky Mountaineer, the Glacier Express.
01:53You're gonna need a bit of money to do that, Sue.
01:55And hopefully you can play well, but Xavier and Samantha all want the same.
01:59So, are you ready?
02:00Ready.
02:01Good luck, everybody, as we get set to play round one, Bank Builder.
02:09Okay.
02:10Bank Builder's your chance to build some serious cash.
02:13Every counter that you push over the tipping point, we will put $100 into your bank.
02:17And in the round, you each start with three counters.
02:19If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine,
02:24or you could ask one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead.
02:27If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds,
02:30then I need to take a counter away from you.
02:33Now, on the top shelf, the two double counters.
02:35If you push one of those over, you'll double the value of your drop.
02:39And on the bottom left today are the mystery counters.
02:41Push those over to go home with a great prize.
02:43So, we're all set.
02:45Here comes the opening question.
02:47Selected as the winning entry in a 1923 competition was the name of which iconic Australian spread?
02:54Samantha.
02:55Vegemite.
02:55Yes, it was.
02:57Well done.
02:59There you go, Samantha.
03:00So, now the next thing is to make a decision on what you'd like to do.
03:03Do you want to play first or not?
03:04Yeah, I'm going to run with it.
03:05Okay. Good luck.
03:06Where do you want to play?
03:07Drop Zone 1, please.
03:09Light up Drop Zone 1.
03:10We'll find out what sort of mood we're in today, this machine.
03:19It looks good.
03:20Don't sit between the two.
03:25It does get itself caught in that little V when they're lined up for the first time.
03:30So, nothing from the first counter.
03:32Moving on to our second question.
03:34Synonymous with whirlwind Las Vegas weddings are impersonators of...
03:38Sue?
03:39Elvis Presley?
03:39Yes, of which late rock and roll icon.
03:43Okay, Sue, what are you going to do?
03:45I'm going to try Drop Zone 1 as well.
03:47Okay, light up one for Sue this time.
03:57Oh, that looks a little better, Sue.
04:02Looks a lot better.
04:08Gee, an aggressive start by you, Sue.
04:11Seven, including one that's been thrown out of the machine.
04:16So, $700 to start things off is a lot.
04:20Let's take it from there, transfer that into your bank, and that is a hot start.
04:25The next question.
04:27Joe Cocker sings, what would you do if I sang out a tune in the theme song to what classic
04:32US TV show?
04:35Xavier?
04:36The Wonder Years.
04:36Yeah, well done.
04:37Nice work.
04:40We're going to go to Drop Zone 2.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Let's do it.
04:45Right up two.
04:46So, let's go around about now.
04:52Took forever.
04:55It needs to go a little left.
04:57All right.
04:57Left is good.
04:58Here it comes.
05:00Oh no, get over.
05:01Don't ride.
05:02Don't ride.
05:03Oh.
05:04Yeah, boy.
05:05Oh.
05:06Oh.
05:06Come on, we got this.
05:10You know you want to.
05:12Yeah, get over.
05:13Whoa.
05:15Nice.
05:16All right, you're in the game.
05:18So, you got yourself three, Xavier.
05:20Very good.
05:20300 will go up.
05:22Let's take it from there, put that in your bank, and that'll have you four behind Sue.
05:26So, everybody used a counter.
05:28Samantha, you need to find some money with your next one.
05:30Moving on to our next question.
05:32Low-heeled with a rounded nose, a common style of formal men's shoe is named for which
05:37prestigious British university?
05:40Sue.
05:41Oxford?
05:41Yeah, correct.
05:45I think number one again, please.
05:47Oh, back down left, looking for the mystery.
05:49Yeah, I'm going for that mystery.
05:50I thought you'd have your eyes on that, Sue.
05:58That'll go left.
06:00Will it ride the wall?
06:00No.
06:02Ooh.
06:04Let's get another heap off there.
06:12Six more, Sue.
06:13Woo-hoo!
06:14Including the mystery.
06:16Take the 600 out, put that in the bank, and very quickly, you've got 1,300.
06:22And with the mystery, Sue, you'll rest easy thanks to Sleeping Duck because you've won a
06:27Mark II mattress package, including two anti-gravity pillows and a Neo silk sheet set valued at
06:34over $2,000.
06:38Righty-o.
06:39Get yourself together, Sue.
06:41You've got more game to play.
06:42Next question.
06:43What word means a 3D spherical map of the earth?
06:48Samantha?
06:48Globe.
06:49Correct.
06:49Well done.
06:50Right.
06:50Time for you to get some money.
06:51Okay.
06:53Let's light up drop zone two, please.
06:56Okay.
06:56Two this time.
06:57Just moving over for that one slot.
07:07Not bad.
07:08Not bad.
07:08I think this should be better for you, Samantha.
07:10Yep.
07:11There you go.
07:12Close.
07:15Oh, no!
07:18Nearly close.
07:19How is it even staying there?
07:21Right, Samantha.
07:22A little unlucky.
07:23On to the next question.
07:25Argentinian revolutionary Che Guevara famously wore which flat French style hat?
07:31Xavier?
07:32Beret.
07:32Indeed, indeed.
07:33Beret.
07:34Right.
07:36Good answer.
07:37I've definitely gone for two again.
07:39Drop zone two it is.
07:42And what about now?
07:46Perfect.
07:47Oh, that's a good one.
07:49Yes.
07:50That should get multiple up the top, Xavier.
07:51Come on, boy.
07:52Let's go.
07:53Oh, just one.
07:54Two.
07:54All right.
07:55Push it all.
07:56Push it all.
07:59Oh!
08:00Oh!
08:01Oh!
08:02Thought it was more.
08:03Go on.
08:04It looked like it should have been more, Xavier.
08:06Yeah, yeah.
08:06But it's three for the moment.
08:07All good.
08:08So you'll get 300.
08:08It'll double your score.
08:10When we take it out of the machine, you'll have $600 with one counter left to play.
08:15So Xavier, you're seven behind Sue at the moment.
08:19You both have one counter left to play, as does Samantha.
08:22So, next question.
08:24Housing the Australian High Commission in the UK, Australia House is located in which capital city?
08:30London.
08:30Of course it is.
08:31Yes.
08:33Now, Sue.
08:35Light up drop zone two, please, Todd.
08:37Light her up.
08:44Oh.
08:45Aggressive.
08:48Are you going to get another big drop here, Sue?
08:52Oh!
08:54Oh!
08:55Oh!
08:57Oh!
08:57Oh!
08:59Oh!
08:59It's like a tsunami of counters coming over that tipping point for you.
09:06Another half a dozen.
09:07What?
09:07$600 will go up into the machine.
09:10Oh!
09:11Let's take it out and Sue.
09:13You've used all your counters, but you've got a very handy $1,900 in the bank.
09:20Xavier, Samantha, you'd be glad to put her aside tonight.
09:24You've got a single counter left each.
09:27Second last question.
09:29Anya Taylor-Joy voices which major character in 2023's The Super Mario Brothers movie?
09:35Samantha.
09:36Princess Peach?
09:37Correct.
09:37Nice work.
09:38You played well.
09:39Now you deserve to make some money, Samantha.
09:42Okay.
09:42Let's light up drop zone three, please.
09:45Okay.
09:45First time.
09:46Good luck.
09:47Come on.
09:47You deserve something.
09:48Come on, Sam.
09:55Again, I think that should be good.
09:57It looks like it's lined up with that silver, but don't go left, don't you?
10:00Yeah.
10:01Yes.
10:02I was a bit nervous for you.
10:03Yeah, me too.
10:05All right, you're in.
10:09Three came over the tipping point.
10:10$300 will go in.
10:12Let's whip it out of there and get that into your bank, Samantha.
10:17So Xavier, the final question is yours.
10:19You don't need to buzz in.
10:20You do need to give me an answer.
10:21You've got three seconds to do that.
10:23So good luck with it.
10:24Here it is.
10:25In the Bible, what plant resin was gifted to baby Jesus along with gold and frankincense?
10:31Myrrh.
10:32Myrrh.
10:32Nice work.
10:34Myrrh.
10:36All right.
10:37Light up drop zone three, please.
10:39Done.
10:40Oh, I may as well press it now.
10:43Wrong way.
10:44All good.
10:45But there's plenty of counters still on the tipping point in three and four.
10:50Oh.
10:51Head over.
10:52Give us a big one.
10:54Give us a big one.
10:54Anything.
10:56Oh, I'm lucky.
10:57All good.
10:57All good.
10:58I'm lucky.
10:58Sue's going to get it.
11:02She might get it, Xavier.
11:03We'll find out.
11:04We're going to have to split the deal.
11:05Because at the end of our bank builder round, Sue with a stunning 1,900 has the lead over
11:10Xavier with 600.
11:12Samantha, I'd like to say you're going to have to pick up the pace in Quickfire, which
11:15is coming up right after the break.
11:30Welcome back to the tipping point.
11:31Sue, Xavier and Samantha are battling it out.
11:34Who will play for the $20,000?
11:36Well, to find out, we need to play Quickfire.
11:43And in Quickfire, you each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
11:47For every correct answer, I'll give you a counter to play into the machine.
11:51The contestant with the lowest score, though, at the end of this round will be leaving the
11:54game.
11:54So, Sue, big start by you, 1,900.
11:58I'd assume you probably would like to play first, but you don't have to.
12:02Yes, I'll play please, Todd.
12:03That's what I assume.
12:05All right then, Sue.
12:0730 seconds is on the clock and your time starts.
12:10Now, what does the R stand for in the name of the Common Musculoskeletal Condition RSI?
12:16Pass.
12:17Repetitive.

12:30Correct.
12:30What is both the title of an Olivia Rodrigo album and a word used to describe the taste
12:35of a lemon?
12:39Sour.
12:39Correct.
12:40A theme park based.
12:41Oh, we've got two.
12:43Yes.
12:46Very great to go.
12:48Drop zone three, please.
12:49Line up drop zone three.
12:59There is a bit of a gap at the front there, depending where things push.
13:07Will it shimmy the right way?
13:10It does.
13:18That's another five.
13:19You're not mucking around, Sue.
13:20500 goes into the machine.
13:22We'll leave it.
13:22You've got one more.
13:24Oh, yes.
13:25I might go two, please, Todd.
13:27Light up two.
13:28Drop zone two, please.
13:35No, that's not good.
13:37Only if it rides, it's not good.
13:39Otherwise, it does.
13:42Right.
13:43Just leave a few for the others, Sue.
13:45Okay.
13:45I'll try.
13:47Oh, no.
13:52She just couldn't help herself.
13:53She had to take a couple more with her.
13:55So another two came over, so that'll give you 700, Sue.
13:59Let's move that over, and another good round for you.
14:03You'll have 2,600 in the bank.
14:08So as a mentalist, Xavier, what would you say just at the moment about the machine?
14:13I've actually got to use the hypnosis and try and get Sue to pass over some of those coins.
14:18Look at me in the eyes, Sue.
14:20Look at me.
14:21Okay.
14:22I'll get you to hone in here, Xavier, because you have the decision whether to play next or
14:26not.
14:27I'll play.
14:3130 seconds is on the clock to you, Xavier, and your time starts now.

15:12Drop zone three and then I'll change my mind if nothing works.
15:15Okay.
15:15Light it up.
15:16All right.
15:17Ready to rock.
15:18So Xavier, 20 behind at the moment.
15:20Two.
15:22Two.
15:27What are you going to do, buddy?
15:29Drop something over the edge.
15:31Anything will do.
15:32Oh, come on.
15:35Down you come.
15:36I think it's too heavy.
15:38Three!
15:38Three!
15:39Three!
15:39You think I have to go three again?
15:41Three!
15:41Three!

15:43Drop zone three, please.
15:43Light it up.
15:47My friend.
15:50Yep.
15:51That's right.
15:53That should be better.
15:54That's better.
15:55Get over.
15:56Oh, what?
15:57She doesn't want to go there.
15:58Oh, that's all you need.
15:59That's all you need.
16:00Oh my God.
16:01Anything, anything.
16:02Oh!
16:02Oh!
16:04Unlucky.
16:06Anyway.
16:07Unlucky, Zay.
16:08Right.
16:09Nothing for the two.
16:11Thanks.
16:11Never mind.
16:12Okay.
16:13Samantha, you're next.
16:14Your three count is behind Xavier.
16:16Yeah.
16:17Four gets you through to take on Sue.
16:19Good luck.
16:19You ready to play?
16:20Yeah.
16:21Here we go.
16:2330 seconds is on the clock.

17:06Three to tie.
17:07Four goes through.
17:09Anything?
17:10Three?
17:11Let's light up drop time.
17:12Three.
17:12Light it up.
17:13Wow.
17:14I set it right up.
17:15I hope you get this.
17:20Oh.
17:21Oh.
17:24Should be alright.
17:27There you go, babe.
17:29Look at this.
17:31What?
17:36Crashes down.
17:37Yay!
17:38Wow.
17:39The machine has paid out.
17:40You didn't get much luck early, Samantha, but just with one counter, you're going to have
17:441,200 in the machine.
17:46That was 12 when it came over.
17:49And when we take it from there, put that into your bank,
17:51you'll have 1,500, and all of a sudden,
17:54the difference is only 11.
17:57And that means at the end of our quick-fire round,
17:59Sue playing brilliantly with 2,600,
18:01Samantha's got 1,500, and Xavier,
18:04no luck with the machine means we've found your tipping points.
18:07Oh, bad luck, Xavier.
18:09Bad luck, Xavier.
18:10Righto, Xavier, before you go, though,
18:12you and I had a chat out the back,
18:14and you tried to get into my head with a little game.
18:17Tell me what happened.
18:18OK, so what I'd like is actually you to think of
18:20the holiday destination that I asked you to think of
18:23that you didn't tell anyone, one you haven't been to before.
18:25Do you got it in your mind?
18:26Yes, I have.
18:27Just think about it.
18:28Imagine you're sending it right to me, right?
18:30Now, you didn't tell me what this is.
18:31You didn't tell anyone what this is, right?
18:32Excellent.
18:33I'm tasting wine.
18:34Does that make sense to you?
18:35Mm-hmm.
18:36It does.
18:36OK, and I'm getting a bird.
18:38Nightingale is what I'm getting.
18:39But I'm thinking the word Florence is important,
18:41and I think Florence may be something to do with that.
18:43You're thinking of Tuscany, right?
18:47That's right.
18:48Wow!
18:51Nice!
18:54How do you know that?
18:55How did you do that?
18:56That's a good question.
18:56Hey, I tried to be broad.
18:59I thought about Florence, and then I put Tuscany
19:02because I want to go there for holidays.
19:02I was picking up on all of it.
19:03Just so you all in the audience know,
19:06and you all know at home,
19:07I have the card that I wrote this on.
19:10And Xavier did not read this.
19:13And this is what it says.
19:14Wow!
19:15Oh, that's amazing!
19:17Amazing!
19:19Too good, Xavier.
19:20It's been wonderful having you on the show.
19:22And it now means, though,
19:23that Sue and Samantha are going to go head-to-head.
19:26One of them will go on to play for the $20,000 jackpot.
19:29Xavier knows who's going to win,
19:31but we'll find out after the break.
19:46Welcome back.
19:47Xavier's gone.
19:48Sue and Samantha are still here,
19:50about to go head-to-head.
19:51Sue's got the lead.
19:52One of you will go on to play for the $20,000.
19:54Before we do that, though,
19:55Samantha, you've got your brother with you here today.
19:57Yeah.
19:58Where is he?
19:59There he is.
20:02Michael?
20:03Yeah.
20:03Now, you two obviously get along quite well.
20:05Michael, I hear you restore furniture, is that right?
20:09No, well, she does a lot.
20:10I do a bit, but she does it as well.
20:12Fantastic.
20:13Yeah.
20:13Now, one of those pieces of furniture,
20:15I understand, is a dining table.
20:16Yeah, so it was one of my first pieces that I did.
20:21It's come up absolutely beautiful.
20:22It's the heart of the home.
20:24The family gathers around.
20:26Yeah.
20:26Fantastic.
20:27And when you talk about the heart of the home,
20:29the family, the two young boys,
20:31Reid and Richie,
20:32who both have a bit of an affinity with Tipping Point.
20:36Yeah, so my eldest son,
20:38he had a terrible witching hour as a newborn,
20:42and we just stumbled across Tipping Point through that phase,
20:46and we never looked back.
20:47Something about the lights, the sounds.
20:49The music and the drops.
20:51Yeah.
20:51And he watches religiously now,
20:55and he'll be at home happy watching me now.
20:58Fantastic.
20:58All right, well, he'll be hoping that you can chase down Sue.
21:02It's an 11-counter difference at the moment.
21:04Sue, you've got a support crew with you
21:06that were at the beginning in shock at how well you were doing.
21:09Who's with you?
21:11I've got my sister, Sally,
21:13my sister, Kelly,
21:15and my very good friend, Julianne.
21:17Hi, guys.
21:18Welcome to you all.
21:19Now, Sue, a retired teacher,
21:21how many years were you teaching?
21:22Yes, so Todd, I taught at Star of the Sea College in Brighton
21:25for 41 years.
21:27Really?
21:27Yeah.
21:2841 years is a long time.
21:30Being retired,
21:31it'd be nice to now not have such structured holidays.
21:35Ah, well, that would be the case, Todd,
21:37if I wasn't married to a school crossing supervisor.
21:40Oh, sorry.
21:42Who I wanted to go away in February,
21:44and he said no because then he would miss the preps.
21:47Oh, no.
21:48But he's much loved at Hampton Primary School.
21:50Fantastic.
21:51All right, Sue.
21:52Well, you've got the lead.
21:53Well done to you.
21:54You deserve your retirement.
21:55Maybe you could get those train trips that you're hoping for.
21:58But Samantha has other plans,
22:00so you two need to go head-to-head.
22:07And in our head-to-head round,
22:09you'll each have two questions.
22:10If you answer your question correctly,
22:11you get to play that counter into the machine.
22:13But if you get it wrong,
22:14your opponent will steal the counter.
22:16And if you're unsure,
22:17you could ask your opponent to play.
22:19Sue, you get the opening question
22:21as you've got the lead.
22:22Here it comes.
22:23In the lyrics of a 1967 hit song
22:26for Frank and Nancy Sinatra,
22:28what three-word phrase is said to spoil it all?
22:32Pass or play?
22:33I think I'll have to pass to Samantha this one.
22:36Ooh!
22:41I love you.
22:43That's nice, Samantha.
22:47I wasn't expecting you to come out with that at me.
22:51Sue?
22:53I think she's right.
22:54Mm.
22:55Frank and Nancy.
22:56The three-word phrase is said to spoil it all.
23:00Is it, I love you?
23:03Yeah.
23:06And then I go and spoil it all
23:09by saying something stupid like, I love you.
23:11There you go.
23:13Well done, Samantha.
23:14Great get.
23:14All right, you're in the game again.
23:17I'd like to light up drop tone two, please.
23:20Light it up.
23:26Oh, get flat.
23:28It does.
23:30But it's gone where there's not a lot on the tipping point
23:32on that right side.
23:41Not quite.
23:42Okay.
23:43You weren't able to make the most of the opportunity, Samantha.
23:46But you do have the next question.
23:50Which Monty Python film features the killer rabbit of Kerbenog
23:53and the holy hand grenade of Antioch?
23:57Pass or play?
23:59I am not familiar with Monty Python at all.
24:03So I'm going to pass this one, Sue.
24:07Come on, Sue.
24:09Oh, I'm sorry, Todd.
24:11I don't know.
24:11I'll have to pass.
24:12Well, you can't pass.
24:13Oh, I can't.
24:17I mean, I...
24:18I'm going to say Life of Brian.
24:19Okay.
24:20Righto.
24:21There's a stab.
24:22Is it Life of Brian?
24:26You'll know it.
24:27Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
24:29Oh.
24:30Oh.
24:31Yeah.
24:31I knew that.
24:32Yeah, I thought you might, Sue,
24:33but Samantha's got the counter again.
24:35So 11 to difference.
24:38So light up top turn two, please.
24:40Two again.
24:41Yes, please.
24:41Back to two.
24:49Oh.
24:50It's gone far enough, right?
24:52There's a little pile there if something comes off for you.
24:55Ah.
24:59Oh, Huffle.
25:02Just two.
25:04So 200 goes in the machine, Samantha.
25:07Let's take it from there.
25:08Put that into your bank.
25:09And you'll have 1,700.
25:11And the difference is nine.
25:12Okay.
25:13And we'll be back after the break to see who ends up playing for the 20,000.
25:17Stay with us on Tipping Point.
25:32Welcome back.
25:33Sue, Samantha, nine-counter difference.
25:35Sue, you have the next question.
25:38Use to draw attention to information.
25:41What does the internet abbreviation, I-C-Y-M-I, stand for?
25:46Pass or play?
25:48I-C-Y-M-I.
25:51I think I'll have to pass, Todd.
25:56Samantha, this could be three of the four counters.
26:00Is it In Case You Missed It?
26:03Let's find out if it's In Case You Missed It.
26:12Got to say, you haven't missed much, Samantha.
26:15You have not missed much at all.
26:18Right.
26:18You could have potential two more counters.
26:21You need to find nine to tie.
26:25Light up.
26:26Drop down two, please.
26:27Okay.
26:28Light it up.
26:35Oh.
26:39It's all right.
26:40Something will come down.
26:41Oh, two.
26:42There we go.
26:43They need to go a little left to get the mystery, though.
26:48Oh, you've got three.
26:50Five.
26:52The gap is closing.
26:53Three hundred is coming your way.
26:56That will, when it moves, give you $2,000,
26:58and the difference is six.
27:02So, Samantha, you've got the final question.
27:06German, French, Italian, and Romance
27:09are national languages of which landlocked European country?
27:15Oof.
27:16I feel like you might know this one, Sue.
27:27German, French, Italian, and Romance are languages of which landlocked European country?
27:35I'm going to play.
27:37I'm just going to take a stab in the dark here and say Romania.
27:42Romania.
27:43Okay.
27:44Would you have given something different to that, Sue?
27:48I think I would have said Switzerland, Tom.
27:50Okay.
27:51Samantha, is Romania going to keep you in the game?
27:57Sue would have had it if you'd have passed it.
27:59Switzerland was the correct answer.
28:01So, Sue, you can breathe easy now.
28:04You've done what you needed to do to get to the jackpot round,
28:07and now you can continue to make money.
28:09Where are you going to put the counter?
28:12Drop zone four, please, Tom.
28:14Four it is.
28:14Light her up.
28:21This is the first time we've actually been in drop zone four.
28:25Right.
28:27That's going to nudge the double.
28:35Yeah.
28:40And you find yourself another three counters,
28:42so $300 will go into the machine
28:45to round things out when it gets in there, Sue.
28:48You'll finish the head-to-head round with $2,900.
28:51And, Samantha, as well as you play today,
28:55unfortunately, we still managed to find your tipping points.
28:59It was nice to meet you.
29:01Nice to meet you, too.
29:03Good luck with that trip to Hawaii.
29:04Hope you get the boys to see those volcanoes.
29:06I'm sure we will.
29:07And, Samantha, lovely having you on the show.
29:09And, Sue, well, here's your shot at it.
29:12$20,000.
29:14That's what the jackpot counter is worth.
29:16And that's what you'll be playing for
29:18when we come back right after the break.
29:34Tsunami Sue is our winner today.
29:36A couple of huge drops early, and that's got you through.
29:39$2,900 is already yours.
29:43And sleeping duck bed.
29:45Now, when you were teaching, what did you teach?
29:47I taught accounting at Year 11 and 12 for all those years.
29:50Serious stuff, too.
29:51Yeah.
29:52We did talk about the trains.
29:54What's the love of trains and that type of tourism, if you like?
29:58I just think it's easy.
30:00You get on the train, you can walk around,
30:02they feed you, they give you lots to drink.
30:05You don't have to drive?
30:06Don't have to drive.
30:07And my husband's nickname is Wrong Way Watkins,
30:10so I know that we'll get to the destination.
30:15Fantastic.
30:15All right.
30:16Are you ready to try to get this $20,000
30:18so we can get you on the Garn, the Oran Express
30:20and wherever else you want to go?
30:22Yes, please, Tom.
30:22OK, good luck.
30:23Let's play the jackpot round.
30:29I'm going to ask you to put the jackpot counter in in a moment.
30:31If you can push it back out, there's your $20,000.
30:34Unless you go drop zone four,
30:36where there are still two doubles on that top shelf.
30:38If you could get it with one of those, or both,
30:41you could be $40,000, you could be $80,000.
30:43Who knows?
30:44You've had a couple of good drops today.
30:46What would you like to do?
30:47Four, please, Todd.
30:49Four?
30:50No questions needed to be asked.
30:52That's where we're going.
30:53Let's light it up.
30:57Let's get this jackpot counter flat.
31:05It's not flat.
31:07Sue, went too early with the button.
31:11And it's climbed on top.
31:13One double is down.
31:19But we've had jackpots from there.
31:21So, plenty of money on that lower shelf as well.
31:24Yep.
31:25And let's get the counters to start pushing things around.
31:28The categories that you're playing are geography, TV, science,
31:31sport and classic ads.
31:33You know you can play one, two or three.
31:35The more you play for, the better the chance you can get to get this moving
31:38because it's riding on the side.
31:41What would you like to do?
31:42Start from the top, please, with three, Todd.
31:45Geography first.
31:47Right.
31:48Come on, Sue.
31:50What is the closest capital city to the European city of Lisbon?
31:55Is it Madrid, Paris or Brussels?
31:59I think Lisbon is in Spain, so I'll go Madrid, please, Todd.
32:03Light up Madrid.
32:06Is Madrid the closest capital city to Lisbon?
32:12It is.
32:13Got it.
32:14The other two are up there.
32:16Brussels is above Paris.
32:19All right.
32:20Here we go.
32:21We need a little bit of luck.
32:22We need everything to go to that left-hand side.
32:24Light up drop zone four.
32:27All right.
32:30Almost.
32:31Almost.
32:32Just don't push it further left.
32:35Goes around with weight.
32:40Get up.
32:44Four came over.
32:45That'll give you $400.
32:46You'll have $3,300.
32:49Let's go back in again.
32:50Light her up.
32:57It's hitting and spinning.
32:59Yeah.
33:03Down it comes again.
33:04Some more money we'll get out of this.
33:06There you go.
33:10Two more.
33:11That'll make $3,500.
33:14All right.
33:15What do you think about the timing?
33:16What it looks like it might do when it hits?
33:18Does it spin?
33:20I've got to light it up first.
33:22Oh, sorry.
33:23Sorry, Todd.
33:26Final counter.
33:29I went too early.
33:31I don't know.
33:31Gee, they're just...
33:32They're liking the left.
33:33They are, aren't they?
33:36Oh.
33:38Oh.
33:38Come on down.
33:39Oh, it's going to ride.
33:42Oh, no.
33:43Yeah, it's going to go back.
33:44It will give us some cash.
33:48Come on.
33:49Come on.
33:49Give us some more.
33:51Not yet.
33:52Not willing to give any more.
33:54$3,500.
33:55We'll go back to the categories.
33:57Straight down TV, please, for three, Todd.
33:59Like it.
34:03Sue, what is the name of a mysterious figure central to the TV series Bridgerton?
34:09Is it Dame Whiskersouth, Duchess Whisperbottom, or Lady Whistledown?
34:15Todd, this is right up my alley.
34:18I love period dramas, and the answer is Lady Whistledown.
34:22Yes!
34:26I'm going to light up Lady Whistledown.
34:29They must agree with you.
34:31But is that correct?
34:35It is.
34:38Line up top zone four, please.
34:40I'll light it up.
34:41Here we go.
34:41Come on, Sue.
34:42You've got to find the machine.
34:44You did something for us.
34:52Right, Sue, we're going to have to try a different technique.
34:56Something's not right.
34:59Here we go.
35:00Big push.
35:04Three more.
35:05So that'll be $3,800.
35:06But let's just talk about the technique, because whatever you're doing is getting it over the
35:10right-hand side.
35:11There's a whole line there at the moment.
35:13So I don't know if it's more gentle, if it's talking to...
35:16I don't know.
35:16We're going to have to...
35:17Please, please, please.
35:18You ready?
35:18I'll light it up again.
35:19Thank you, Todd.
35:20Let's get something different here.
35:29There you go.
35:30See?
35:31Very gentle.
35:32Just got to, like...
35:34Now, this is going to be interesting to see what it actually does, because it might slip
35:40underneath.
35:41No, it doesn't.
35:43Oh, that's a good sign, that is.
35:45That means that the next one that goes there, it should come on down.
35:50Light it up.
36:00here we go
36:05now if it comes down we want it to get flat
36:23wow four more four thousand two hundred dollars but you see which is what happened it is riding
36:28but then the double is almost riding on top of the jackpot as well be good if it hitched a
36:33ride
36:33all the way over into the tipping point fingers crossed we've run out of counters so let's go

37:34on an edge of it as well so forty thousand is there and the other doubles the other side
37:39anything could happen if you can get the counters to play with before the break the question what
37:46term means a bright spot on the surface of the sun and you said your friend's an ophthalmologist
37:53and macula is the eye part of the eye but is that a dot on the sun i don't know

39:24to the right direction so that's good you've got the touch now
39:37okay what will that do not much i don't think no it just fills some of the space that i
39:43was talking
39:44about one more light it up again come on let's see if we can get this moving forward
39:57that's going to fill that other gap on the right there there it is so anyways those three

41:02what was that that was horrid wow that just flew out let's go again light her up timing
41:11go back to being gentle gentle gentle gentle so
41:21it's good it's got to be good
41:26right what is good is that one is set to fall
41:29so it's got to come off with this one though and start pushing it and then we can talk
41:33light it up last counter come on get that one down
41:37so get that one down
41:42that's it
41:45come on down
41:47come on down
41:48now push that pile hard
41:58you started with a tsunami
42:00you may still well finish with a tsunami
42:03but for the moment at least you got
42:05four thousand three hundred dollars when i put this extra counter in and you played beautifully
42:11but sue it's not over yet because we've not seen a pile on of a jackpot surrounded by the doubles
42:18on either side like this before so we are most definitely playing jackpot temptation
42:28now it's going to get tough because you have to make a difficult decision you've got four thousand three hundred
42:34dollars you'd have to give that up but right now it could be forty it could be eighty there if
42:40things fell in the right direction
42:42todd i just think there's too much weight do you well let me give you an offer before you think
42:48too hard
42:49it needs two pushes over that left side is what i think so i'm going to offer you two i'm
42:55going to increase the value to forty because there's doubles there so that could be eighty could be one sixty
43:01but not only that about this sue
43:07how about a brand new kia k4
43:09elegant sporty and stylish this small sedan is valued at thirty two thousand nine hundred and ninety dollars and it
43:17could be yours thanks to kia
43:19have a look at this a mountain of cash and a kia k4 so let me just put this here
43:27for a moment for you
43:29i'll just put that there so that you can look at it
43:33oh gosh told you while you contemplate it we're going to the newsroom
43:40tsunami sue before we went to the newsroom you played well today got off to flying start with all those
43:47counters crashing there is plenty ready to come crashing now it's a big decision to make
43:52four thousand three hundred is what you'd have to give back to me you do have a sleeping duck bed
43:58but two for forty could potentially be eighty as they are touching there's the other one just to the side
44:05so not only that you have the kia k4 to contemplate your sisters have gone very quiet what do you
44:12guys think
44:13money money you need more counters that's a holiday
44:20there's a lot stacked on top todd i'm worried about the weight
44:23there's a weight at the front but they're all leaning over they're about to topple
44:28what about if i gave you a few more counters
44:32this is what i gotta do though i'm gonna take that back i'm gonna just
44:35i'm gonna dangle it there one last time
44:38thanks todd
44:38but i'll hold on to it because you still might take it because you've thought hard
44:42But instead of two, I'll give you four.
44:46And I'll take that back to $20,000.
44:49No car.
44:52Do I put the car back?
44:56$20,000 could be $40,000, Sue.
45:04Sorry, Todd, but I think $4,300 would get me
45:07a very nice train trip on the guard.
45:10It would.
