00:00The stakes are sky-high as the fate of our 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 Sipping Point.
00:31Hello, welcome everyone to Sipping Point where these three contestants are ready to take on the machine.
00:36So let's meet them.
00:37Hi, my name's Jackie. I'm a celebrant from Audialloc.
00:40I love adventures and in fact, I nearly died 20 times in Africa.
00:45Hi, I'm Tom. I'm a property strategist from Hastings.
00:48I'll often use Sipping Point at bedtime to encourage my kids to get into bed.
00:52Hello, Taylor, Levi and Payton.
00:54Hi, I'm Georgia from Queensland.
00:56I'm a teacher and I have some pretty good skills, but I would say I'm very good at a kookaburra
01:01call.
01:05Well, Georgia, you've put it out there.
01:08So here we go. You ready to do it?
01:10Wow!
01:16There's a wake-up call.
01:18Good luck, Georgia.
01:20Let's hope that you're still crowing like that at the end of the whole thing.
01:23I know. Fingers crossed.
01:24Tom, tell us about the kids. What ages are they?
01:27And what's this bribery that you do?
01:29Usually it's to get the shower routine moving, but they are 8, 9 and 11.
01:33Okay. And they're all into the show as well?
01:35They absolutely love it.
01:36Have they given you any instruction today?
01:38Well, I told them if I win, I'll give them $100 each and that was enough to get them excited.
01:42Okay. And if not, you're going to be $300 in a hole no matter what.
01:46Jackie, tell us about Africa and these close encounters with near death.
01:51We got lost in the desert one day and there was nothing there.
01:54And we woke up in the morning and everybody was packing up really quickly.
01:57And I looked around and there was three Maasai warrior women there.
02:00Yeah.
02:00So I said to them, can I take a photo?
02:02And this thing just flew past my head, just went...
02:07And it lodged in the truck.
02:08It was a poison arrow.
02:10Wow.
02:11And yeah, if they'd wanted to kill me, they wouldn't.
02:13Yeah.
02:14All right.
02:15Come on, you ready to play?
02:16Yep.
02:16Let's play round one, Bank Builder.
02:22Bank Builder's your chance to make some serious money.
02:24Every counter that comes over that tipping point will put $100 into your bank.
02:28And in the round, you each start with three counters.
02:31Now, if you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine
02:35or you could ask one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead.
02:39If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds, unfortunately, I have to take a counter away from you.
02:44If you have a look into the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
02:47If you can push those over, you will double the value of your drop along with the two mystery counters.
02:52And if you can push those over, you'll be going home with a fantastic prize.
02:56Hands on buzzers, here comes the first question.
02:59Commonly used as a metaphor for a person's weak point is the heel of which Greek mythological figure?
03:05Georgia?
03:06Achilles?
03:06Correct.
03:09Nice start.
03:11What would you like to do?
03:12I would actually like to pass to Tom, if that's okay.
03:16Alright, Tom.
03:16Light up drop zone three.
03:18Light it up.
03:26Heavy drop.
03:27Good drop.
03:27Good drop.
03:28Lined up right behind the black.
03:30Something should come off, Tom.
03:31Good drop.
03:31There you go.
03:36Oh wow.
03:39Good drop.
03:40Good drop.
03:42Nice stuff, Tom.
03:43Three over the tipping point.
03:44George has given you a little early gift.
03:46There it is.
03:48Let's put that into the bank.
03:50And Tom, you've got the kids covered.
03:52Beautiful.
03:53Alright, here comes the second question.
03:56Celebrated in Mexico and parts of the US, the name of what holiday is Spanish?
04:01Tom?
04:01Columbus Day.
04:02No.
04:02For 5th of May.
04:04Cinco de Mayo.
04:05So Tom, unfortunately, in a tad too early and I've got to take that second counter away.
04:09Here comes the next question.
04:12In a standard game of basketball, a slam dunk is worth how many points?
04:16Jackie?
04:17Five.
04:18Two.
04:19Jackie.
04:20The basketballers would love it to be five.
04:23We'd have a lot more broken rings, wouldn't we?
04:26I've got to take a counter away, Jackie.
04:28Alright, interesting start.
04:29Tom's got a single counter, Jackie.
04:31You've got two.
04:31Georgia?
04:32Still got three.
04:33Here's the next question.
04:35What gas commonly used in balloons is also known for making...
04:38Georgia?
04:39Helium.
04:39Correct.
04:40A person's voice higher and squeaky out.
04:44Alright, so Georgia, we've only put one counter in.
04:46Yes.
04:47Could I please drop in drop zone two?
04:49Light up drop zone two for Georgia.
04:54There we go.
04:55Right.
04:58Down it goes.
05:00Oh, thank goodness.
05:01Good spot.
05:02I said the right.
05:04There.
05:04Did you go right?
05:05Yeah.
05:05Push.
05:07One.
05:08Yeah.
05:09Oh, I'm so nervous.
05:12Oh!
05:14What the hell?
05:16Yeah!
05:17That's amazing.
05:18Well done.
05:19Alright, Georgia, off to a good start.
05:21Five over the tipping point, so $500 will go into the machine.
05:25Put it in the bank.
05:27Got a two-counter lead over Tom.
05:29Moving on to our next question.
05:31Tom?
05:37Outlook.
05:37Correct.
05:37Well done, Tom.
05:40I've spent enough time on it.
05:42Yes.
05:43Tom, you've got one counter left to play.
05:44Let's go for it.
05:45Two.
05:45Yeah, light up drop zone two.
05:49Go, Tom.
05:50Yes.
05:51That's a great spot.
05:53You can thank me for that.
05:54I might just go a little left.
05:56No, it doesn't.
05:56Stay straight.
05:57Come on.
05:58That's a great spot.
05:59That's a great spot.
06:00Go, Tom.
06:01Come on.
06:01It's just pinned from either side at the back.
06:04Oh.
06:05Okay, Tom.
06:06I'm out.
06:06You need to sit back.
06:07You've got $300 in the bank.
06:08Jackie hasn't got anything yet.
06:10Georgia's got $500.
06:11They've both got two counters left to play.
06:13Moving on.
06:14The charity organisation acronym NFP typically stands for not for what?
06:20Georgia.
06:21Profit.
06:21Correct.
06:22Yay.
06:22Well done.
06:25Can I please light up drop zone two?
06:27It can.
06:27Light it up.
06:28Tom's done a bit of work for you.
06:30Georgia.
06:32I'm so nervous.
06:34There you go.
06:35I'll take it.
06:36It's lined itself up with the black and the mystery.
06:40Yeah.
06:40Never say no.
06:41Oh.
06:43I hope that does something.
06:45Oh.
06:47Yay.
06:49Good work.
06:51Another three over for you.
06:53So another 300 comes your way as it goes up.
06:56Come straight out of the machine.
06:57You'll have 800 with a single counter left to play.
07:01Right, Georgie.
07:02A counter left.
07:03Jackie.
07:03Is it working?
07:04It's working.
07:06Next question.
07:06Next question.
07:07According to a famous chocolate bar slogan, a what a day helps you work, rest and play.
07:13Jackie.
07:13Mars.
07:14Yes, Jackie.
07:14Here we go.
07:18Right.
07:19Here's your opportunity, Jackie.
07:21Drop zone two, please.
07:22Okay.
07:23Line up two.
07:27No.
07:29Oh.
07:30Good spot, Jackie.
07:32Right on Jackie.
07:34Right on Jackie.
07:36Oh.
07:38That's a pretty good spot.
07:45That was good.
07:46Just let the others do the work, Jackie.
07:48That's it.
07:50Five over for you.
07:51Five hundred will go up into the bank.
07:52Let's take it from there.
07:53Put that into yours.
07:55And you find yourself two in front of Tom, three behind Georgia.
08:00Second last question.
08:01I'm Always Here is the theme song to which 90s TV show about Los Angeles' lifeguards?
08:08Georgia.
08:08Would it be crazy to say Baywatch?
08:10It'd be correct.
08:12Oh.
08:15Right.
08:16Here we go.
08:16Um, I'm stuck on one or four.
08:19Anyone?
08:19Four.
08:21Four.
08:21Four, please.
08:22Family says four.
08:24Yeah.
08:24Light up four.
08:25Four, please.
08:28First time we've played Eye of the Ring of the Machine today.
08:31Oh, I'll take it.
08:32I'll take it.
08:33Oh, that could sit in between the two rows.
08:35No, I feel good about it.
08:36I feel good about it.
08:38Oh, see.
08:38I feel good about it.
08:39Positive vibes makes positive things happen.
08:42Yeah.
08:44Oh, I wish they all fell.
08:46Oh, I'll have a look at that one as well.
08:49So that's two.
08:50Another 200 will come your way.
08:52Goes into the machine and we put that in your bank, Georgia, you'll have $1,000.
08:58So, Jackie, just you and me now.
09:00Okay.
09:01No need to buzz in.
09:02Okay.
09:02You do need to give me an answer and you've got three seconds to do that.
09:05All right.
09:05Final question of the round.
09:06In a professional soccer match, how many yellow cards result in a player being sent off?
09:12Three.
09:13Two.
09:14Oh.
09:15The old sporting numbers have got you today, Jackie.
09:18You're still in good shape.
09:19We're going to have to take that counter away from you, unfortunately, though.
09:22But at the end of our bank builder round, Jackie, you've got $500.
09:26Tom, you've got some work to do with $300, but Georgia, $1,000.
09:30Who's going to go through to play for our $20,000?
09:32We'll find out next in Quickfire.
09:47Welcome back to Timing Point.
09:48We've got Jackie, Tom, Georgia.
09:51One of you will play for $20,000.
09:53We're going to keep the game moving right along, so let's play Quickfire.
10:02In Quickfire, you'll each have 30 seconds.
10:04To answer as many questions as you possibly can.
10:06For every correct answer, you get a counter to play into the machine.
10:10Now, the contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round leaves the game.
10:14Georgia, $1,000.
10:16Five counter lead over Jackie.
10:17Do you want to play first?
10:19I'd be pretty silly not to go first, I think.
10:21How I've set up drop zone four.
10:23So I'm going to go first, if that's okay.
10:25Good luck.

11:11Cape York Peninsula is in Queensland.
11:13I live in Queensland.
11:15Just saying.
11:16Are you just going to go to four?
11:17You're just like honing in on there aren't you?
11:19Well now you've said it.
11:19Yeah, I will go for four.
11:20All right.
11:21Let's light it up.
11:21I've got two to put in the machine.
11:27I'm a bit worried where it's going to land.
11:29I know there's a little bit of gap where that first one is.
11:32But I've got two.
11:33I could drop.
11:33That's exactly where I didn't want it to go.
11:35But that's okay.
11:35It might kind of shuffle left here.
11:37There it goes.
11:40I'll take it.
11:45Well done.
11:48That's what I wanted.
11:49That's what I wanted.
11:50That's what I wanted.
11:50You read the machine.
11:51I read it.
11:52You told it what to do.
11:53Yeah.
11:54And it's delivered $800 for you.
11:59Well done.
12:00You're not done yet though.
12:01No.
12:02One more to go.
12:03I'm actually going to go drop zone two if that's okay.
12:06Yeah.
12:06Fine.
12:06Light up two.
12:08Well done.
12:11You're going to have a...
12:12Hopefully that gets something over.
12:13Oh.
12:14You're happy with that?
12:15I might get a mystery prize.
12:16Hopefully that gets something over.
12:20Oh.
12:27Well done.
12:29I'm pretty happy with that.
12:31It's another four.
12:32So $400 goes up into the machine.
12:34And you'll have $1,200.
12:36And when I add it into your bank, you're going to have a $300.
12:38And when I add it into your bank, you're going to have $400.
12:382,200.
12:41All right.
12:42Nicely played, Georgia.
12:44Two counters and now you've got an excellent score.
12:46So, Jackie, you're up next.
12:47You are 17 behind.
12:49Only two in front of Tom, though.
12:51No sports questions, OK, Tom?
12:52No, please.
12:53No, no.
12:54We'll see what happens.
12:55Would you like to play, though?

13:37All right, Jackie.
13:40Very Jackie.
13:41Um, drop zone two.
13:42Light up two.
13:49Is that where you wanted it?
13:50Um, sort of, yeah.
13:52It's got to get that black one off.
13:53There's a couple of gaps there, though.
13:55Yeah.
13:56Yeah.
13:57Come on, Jackie.
13:58Come on, come on, come on.
14:01Come on.
14:03It's all right, Jackie.
14:04I know.
14:05That's two.
14:06So it gives you 200, but you've got two more
14:08left to put into the machine.
14:10Where to, Jackie?
14:11Where to, Jackie?
14:12Um, I think I might go two again.
14:14Two again?
14:15Yeah.
14:16Light it up.
14:17Okay.
14:21Ooh, that was a good land.
14:23Come on, Jackie!
14:26Go, Jackie.
14:29Oh!
14:30Looking good again, Jackie.
14:32Now the pile in front.
14:33Ooh!
14:38Two more, Jackie.
14:40That'll give you 400 in the machine.
14:41And it didn't take the pile out there, did it?
14:44Hmm.
14:45Where's the pile?
14:45I don't know.
14:46Three!
14:47Three!
14:47Three!
14:48Okay, three.
14:49All right.
14:50We'll do drop-tone three.
14:51Okay.
14:52Three.
14:52Light up.
14:53Three.
14:54And now...
14:55You've got a good shot here, Jackie.
14:57You're 13 behind this point.
15:00Oh, it's on...
15:01Is it a rider?
15:01Oh, no, it's on top of a rider.
15:03Oh, no!
15:04No, Jackie!
15:05Yes, yes, yes, yes!
15:06Oh, no!
15:07So, Jackie, it bounces, rides over into two.
15:11So at the end of it, I'm going to take 400.
15:13Put that into your bank, and you've got $900.
15:15Jackie.
15:18Tom.
15:20How many do I need?
15:21Well, you need six.
15:22You might have dodged a bullet.
15:23I 100% dodged a bullet, then.
15:25So you've definitely got a double in play,
15:27but you're going to need a few counters
15:29to manipulate your way around.
15:31You ready, Tom?
15:35Here we go.
15:36Come on, Tom!

16:25You've given yourself one extra.

16:30Light it up.
16:32Tom, I think you've done it.
16:35Six to tie, Jackie.
16:37Oh!
16:38That's not going to do it.
16:39Heavy draw.
16:40Come on.
16:41That's a rider.
16:41Can I give you something on the other side?
16:42We'll get a little push there.
16:43Yeah, on the other side.
16:45Oh.
16:46What are you going to play with?
16:48Two riders in a row.

17:07Oh!
17:08Another rider.
17:11Good job, Tom.
17:14200 goes into the machine.
17:16I need 400 more.
17:17Four ties.
17:18Five gets you through to take on Georgia.
17:21All right, let's try drop zone two.
17:25Mystery ties.
17:29Good try, Tom.
17:31Yeah, that's good.
17:32That's perfect.
17:32I like it.
17:33That's a good spot.
17:34Oh, there's a nice little pile in between one and two.
17:37Yeah, that's what I was aiming for.
17:38Come on.
17:39Here we go.
17:40Perfect.
17:41Here we go.
17:42Yes.
17:43Oh!
17:49High five, that.
17:50Well done, guys.
17:52You got there.
17:52Half a dozen.
17:53600's going in.
17:54That'll give you 800.
17:56So, Tom, you're safe now.
17:57Now you're chasing Georgia.
17:58I'm thinking the long game here, and I'm going to go that times two.
18:01Okay.
18:01So, line up drop zone three.
18:03Three it is.
18:03Light it up.
18:06Oh, now you make me nervous, Tom.
18:11Oh, I don't know.
18:13I don't know.
18:14That'll go into the gap, but should...
18:16Nah.
18:16Push something off.
18:18It does.
18:18Get down.
18:19Get down.
18:19Yes.
18:20Two.
18:21No!
18:23That was so good.
18:24I think it was four.
18:25It was four that came over the tipping point.
18:27So, that'll give you 1,200, Tom.
18:30Take it out there.
18:31Put it into the bank.
18:33Well done.
18:34And you'll have 1,500.
18:36At the end of our quickfire round, Georgia in a good position.
18:402,200.
18:41Tom survives with 1,500.
18:43And Jackie, fortunately...
18:45I know.
18:46We've found your tipping point.
18:47It's sad.
18:47It's okay.
18:49Good job, Jackie.
18:52Jackie, it's been great having you on the show.
18:54And after the break, Tom and Georgia are going head-to-head.
18:57One of you will play for $20,000.
19:00I've got a feeling it's going to be a good little battle, this one,
19:02so you best stick around with it here on Ticking Point.
19:17Welcome back, everyone.
19:18Tom and Georgia are about to go head-to-head.
19:20Before we get there, though, Tom, what about the money?
19:22We know you've got $300 deficit already for the kids,
19:26but where's the rest going to go?
19:28Look, if I win, it's a trip to America.
19:30Oh, yeah.
19:31I was an exchange student,
19:32and so I want to try and take the family over and see them.
19:34Fantastic.
19:35Where did you do that?
19:35What city?
19:36A place called Fort Lauderdale, which is just north of Miami.
19:39Very nice place indeed.
19:40I was a resident in Florida for 11 years,
19:42so I know that part of the world well.
19:44Georgia, tell us about teaching.
19:46Yes.
19:47What years?
19:48What are you?
19:48I'm a high school science teacher,
19:50so right now I'm teaching grade 7, grade 9, and grade 11.
19:53Yes.
19:53Sorry if any of my students are watching.
19:55Hello.
19:55Yeah.
19:56And you've brought, like, family with you.
19:58You're from Brisbane, of course.
19:59So if you best introduce everybody.
20:01Oh, my goodness.
20:02Hmm.
20:02That's mum.
20:03Yes.
20:04Shirley and Bob were in the front row,
20:05and then I've got some aunties in the back row,
20:07and I've got my cousin there as well.
20:08Anyone else?
20:09Well, you've got your partner.
20:10Oh, my goodness.
20:11The love of my life.
20:12My partner.
20:13Rhys is right there as well.
20:15Hey, g'day, Rhys.
20:15Good stuff.
20:16I'm really interested to know how you two met.
20:19He walked past me,
20:20and I thought he was good-looking,
20:22so I went over, I tapped on his shoulder,
20:24and I said, number, now.
20:28And it worked.
20:30You didn't back away from that, did you, Rhys?
20:32No, no.
20:33How long have you two been together?
20:34About two and a half years.
20:36Oh, fantastic.
20:36Well, it's lasted.
20:37Good stuff.
20:38And money?
20:39I'd really like to backpack Asia with Rhys.
20:42I don't know if he's keen,
20:43but that's what I would like to do with it.
20:44You're keen, Rhys?
20:45Yeah, of course I am.
20:46I bet you are.
20:47All right.
20:48Dates is on offer.
20:50Asia's on offer.
20:51Only one of you is going to get that chance
20:53in terms of dollars here today,
20:54so let's play head-to-head.
21:01All right, in our head-to-head round,
21:02you'll each be asked two questions.
21:04If you get your question correct,
21:05then you get to play the counter into the machine,
21:07but if you get it wrong,
21:08your opponent steals it.
21:10And if you're a little unsure,
21:11you can pass your question.
21:12Georgia, you have the lead.
21:14That means you take the opening question.
21:15Yep.
21:17The Commonwealth Coat of Arms
21:19features on the standard design
21:20of which current Australian coin?
21:22Pass or play?
21:24Mm, I think I am going to play.
21:30I'm picturing the coins in my head now.
21:33I'm going to go crazy,
21:34and I think I'm going to say the 50-cent coin.
21:37Is that crazy or not, Tom?
21:39That's 100% correct.
21:41Is it?
21:41Yeah.
21:42Thank you, Tom.
21:43Is it?
21:44Let's find out.
21:48Yay!
21:52Yay.
21:52Yay.
21:53Okay.
21:54Where to go, Georgia?
21:55You've got a seven-counter lead at the moment.
21:57I like the look of one.
21:59I know Tom is coming after that times two.
22:02I'm worried if I go for it,
22:04and I don't get it,
22:05it sets him up for a better position.
22:07So I think I might go one.
22:09They actually look quite heavy.
22:10Okay, strategy in play by Georgia.
22:13Light up one.
22:14First time we've been there.
22:15Really?
22:16It is.
22:17Ooh.
22:21Ooh.
22:24Look.
22:25I'll take it.
22:26It's in the middle.
22:28Yeah.
22:29I'm happy with that.
22:31I'm happy with that.
22:31Just got to get some over.
22:33Oh!
22:34Bugger.
22:35Tom.
22:36Awesome.
22:36Dodging bullets left, right, and centre at the moment.
22:39I'm just playing for you.
22:41Ah, Georgia.
22:43Yes.
22:43You may not have set up the double,
22:44but there's more on the tipping point,
22:46one and two.
22:47I'm thinking ahead.
22:48Tom, you need to get a question correct, though.
22:50Here's the first one of the round for you.
22:53The smallest muscle in the human body,
22:55the stapedius muscle,
22:57is located in what sense organ?
23:00Pass or play?
23:02Ah, Georgia's a biology teacher.
23:04Yes.
23:05Do you know this one?
23:06I'm pretty confident.
23:07Sense organ.
23:08Think about it.
23:10Feel.
23:11Sight.
23:12I think you can get it.
23:15Taste.
23:17Ah, let's go eyes.
23:19Georgia?
23:20I have no idea.
23:22I just didn't want him to pass it to me.
23:24Sorry.
23:27Sorry.
23:29Tom.
23:30I've got no idea.
23:31You might have been played.
23:32I probably have been, yeah.
23:35Is it eyes?
23:40It's positive.
23:41It's ear.
23:41You didn't hear for me.
23:42Ear.
23:42Ear.
23:43Yours, Georgia.
23:44Gee, that was well played.
23:48Three.
23:49Can I please go drop zone three, Todd?
23:50Gone from one now to three.
23:52Light it up.
23:53No real strategy.
24:00Do you like that spot?
24:01Yeah, it's a good spot.
24:08Maybe one more push.
24:09One more push, maybe.
24:12Your kids at home must have a voodoo doll of Georgia at the moment.
24:17Oh, tell you what.
24:19How good is this?
24:20We're going to be back after the break.
24:22No money exchange hands.
24:23Only seven counters still separating them.
24:25One of them.
24:26We'll play for $20,000.
24:27Stay with us.
24:40What a game.
24:42Tom, our property strategist, taking on Georgia, our high school teacher.
24:46Georgia, still got seven counters up your sleeve.
24:49And here comes your next question.
24:51Contested by both men and women, what are the four Olympic athletic field jumping events?
24:58Ooh.
24:59Pass or play?
25:00I'm going to play.
25:01I did little athletics growing up.
25:04So, the four jumping events, I'm going to say high jump, long jump, triple jump.
25:15Now, the fourth jumping event.
25:19In my mind, I'm going to say you jump when you go over hurdles.
25:23But I don't know if I'd say that's a jumping event.
25:26I don't know if a pole vault's a jumping event.
25:28Or I don't know if I'm just being silly and I'm forgetting the obvious one.
25:31But I'm going to say I would jump to do a hurdle.
25:35So, that would be my four.
25:37Would they be your four, Tom?
25:39I would have gone pole vault.
25:40Ooh.
25:41Let's ask the machine.
25:43Georgia, you said high jump.
25:46Yeah.
25:46Long jump.
25:47Mm-hmm.
25:48Triple jump.
25:49Mm-hmm.
25:50And hurdles.
25:51Oh, you said it like it's not right.
25:55Oh.
25:56Is it going to go green?
26:01Ah!
26:02Pole vault.
26:03It is pole vault.
26:05And the difference is that the hurdles is a track event.
26:08It is not a field event.
26:09It so is.
26:12So, another bullet dodge, Tom.
26:14Who would have gotten it?
26:15You've got your opportunity here.
26:17There is seven available in a couple of spots.
26:20I've got two strategies here.
26:22One, I can take home a microwave.
26:24Yes.
26:24Or number three is I've got a chance to go through to the next round.
26:27Go for the microwave.
26:28Microwave, Tom.
26:29Number three, please.
26:30Right up three.
26:31All I ask for is a sniff.
26:33And I've got one.
26:34Tom.
26:35I need it right in the middle.
26:36Tom, you've made me worry.
26:38Should it have stopped?
26:39Oh, that'll do.
26:41Oh.
26:41Oh, no.
26:42It's a rider.
26:44I'm so sorry, Tom.
26:45Oh, no.
26:46Oh, no.
26:47Oh, no.
26:50It's another jumping event, this time from a counter.
26:54Bad luck.
26:55OK, Georgia, you've dodged it this time.
26:58Yeah.
26:58So, one question left.
27:01It's yours, Tom.
27:02All right.
27:02Here it is.
27:05Anne B. Davis famously plays Alice, the housekeeper,
27:09in which classic sitcom?
27:12Pass.
27:15Alice, in which classic sitcom?
27:18She's the what, sorry?
27:19She's the housekeeper.
27:21I'm going to say the Brady Bunch.
27:26You're joking.
27:28I don't know.
27:29Why would...
27:32They wouldn't have a cleaner, would they?
27:34They had so many kids.
27:35They couldn't afford a cleaner.
27:38I'll just wait.
27:40Is it the Brady Bunch?
27:45Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
27:47I like it.
27:49It's my lucky day.
27:51I'll tell you what.
27:53That's the only sitcom I knew.
27:54I feel like I've been played now, Tom.
27:58I would have gone the nanny.
27:59Would have been my guess.
28:00Where'd you go on the nanny?
28:01Well, you've got a counter, Georgia.
28:03Yes.
28:04And you've got plenty to play for,
28:05because you've got 2,200 in the bank,
28:06and you can keep making more.
28:08Where would you like to place it?
28:09I am actually going to go drop zone three, please, Tom.
28:13Come on.
28:14Right on.
28:14Light up three.
28:16I want to get that.
28:17She's going for more money, Tom.
28:18Yeah.
28:19I'm doing Tom's advice and playing the long game.
28:22Trying to get...
28:23Oh, it's right off.
28:24I think it's a rider.
28:25Gee, I tell you what.
28:27Timing's been off for both of you in this round,
28:29although you got away with it.
28:30It was a rider, but you got one down.
28:40$200 is coming your way.
28:42$200 going to the machine.
28:43Let's take it out of there.
28:44Put it in your bank.
28:47Georgie, you've got 2,400.
28:48That was a heck of a lot of fun, that round.
28:50Tom, unfortunately for you, we've found your tipping point.
28:56Tom, great having you on the show.
28:59You've played sensationally well.
29:01Georgia.
29:02Yes.
29:03This is the jackpot counter.
29:04It's worth $20,000, and I've got a good feeling about this.
29:07You've played us very well today.
29:10Can't she go home with the big bucks?
29:12We'll find out next.
29:26It's been a great game, Georgia.
29:27You've played very well.
29:29You've got $2,400, and that's the beginning, we hope, of a great day out,
29:34because there's $20,000 on offer.
29:36But before we get there, you're from Brisbane.
29:38Yep.
29:38Teacher.
29:39How did you get into biology?
29:40I didn't really like it at school.
29:41It just, like, naturally came to me, and then I thought,
29:44I should teach this to kids who also don't like it,
29:47and maybe they will like it.
29:48But it becomes easier then.
29:49Yeah, yep.
29:49Actually, you like the way you're thinking.
29:51And what are we going to do with the money?
29:53We talked a little bit about it.
29:54Um, I think travel, definitely.
29:56I did some travel last year and really liked it,
29:58so we'll do, yeah, we'd like to do some more.
30:00Any places in particular, Rhys, like, throughout Asia,
30:03some they haven't been to, some you want to go back to?
30:05Um, maybe, like, Vietnam or Thailand.
30:07Yeah.
30:07Beautiful.
30:08Great food.
30:09Yeah, definitely.
30:10And, uh, and Chirlin, Bob,
30:12you must be very proud of how she's going along here today.
30:14Extremely.
30:15Yeah.
30:16We're hoping that you can go home with $20,000.
30:18Yes.
30:18So let's play the jackpot round.
30:22Georgia, time to put the jackpot counter in the machine.
30:25Push it back out.
30:25There's your $20,000.
30:26With any exception, there's a double.
30:28If you could push it over with that,
30:30you could make it $40,000.
30:32There's still a double on the bottom shelf.
30:33Probably wouldn't last long enough.
30:35What would I like to do?
30:36I'm pretty lost between, um, choosing one or four, actually.
30:40I think one, there's a lot more counters,
30:42so hopefully build up some more money.
30:44But looking at four as well with that double,
30:46it's in a good position,
30:47so I might actually get a crowd vote for this one.
30:50Four!
30:50One!
30:51One or four?
30:52One!
30:53Four!
30:53Five!
30:54One!
30:55I'm thinking I'm going to go one.
30:57Should I light up one?
30:58Yes, please light it up.
30:59Okay.
31:05Oh, I hope that was a good time.
31:06I'm a bit nervous.
31:08Oh!
31:09Nice work.
31:10Perfect timing.
31:11Plenty of room.
31:12No stress.
31:14And now, you want to try to clean up.
31:17Oh, I would have blacked it to be a little bit more over to the side.
31:20Yeah, it's all the way to the right.
31:22Yeah.
31:23But every counter that comes over worth another $100 in your bank,
31:27that means you've just got to get plenty of counters and fall that way.
31:30I'm feeling lucky.
31:31So let's find out what five categories you're going to play.
31:32Yeah.
31:32We've got a bit of work to do.
31:34You've got theatre, geography, film, art, hobbies and games.
31:38Now, you can play one, two or three.
31:39Yep.
31:40The more you play for, the harder that question's going to be.
31:42So where to start and then for how many?
31:44I think to make it easy, I'm just going to go top to bottom
31:47and three counters and all of them.
31:49All right.
31:50Yeah.
31:50We're just going to go theatre for three.
31:53Here we go.
31:55Into theatre.
31:57Let's hope it's something you might know.
32:00Closing in 2023, which musical holds the record
32:04as the longest-running Broadway show?
32:07Broadway.
32:08Les Miserables, The Fandom of the Opera or Wicked?
32:14I don't think it's Wicked because I just don't.
32:20So I think it's either going to be Les Mis or Phantom of the Opera.
32:24I am going to go The Phantom of the Opera.
32:28Light up Phantom of the Opera.
32:31OK.
32:32Let's find out if it's The Phantom of the Opera.
32:37Here it is.
32:41It ran for 35 years.
32:43Wow.
32:44OK.
32:44That was a guess.
32:46Amazing.
32:46Right.
32:47We've got three early counters to put into this machine.
32:49So let's get started.
32:50Light up drop zone one.
32:55I don't love where the jackpot one is.
32:57You might if they all go right.
32:59That's true.
33:00If they all go right.
33:01Oh.
33:03How's that for a start?
33:05That was pretty good.
33:06That was pretty good.
33:07Come on.
33:07Shuffle all the way to the front.
33:09Hopefully that gets them over.
33:09Excellent.
33:10And you'll clear the way.
33:12Yeah.
33:13Like that.
33:14Come on.
33:14Only one.
33:15That's okay.
33:16Two and a half thousand.
33:17Yep.
33:18And if you could put one more over that right-hand side,
33:20we're on the bottom shelf.
33:21Very early.
33:22Definitely.
33:22Light it up again.
33:23Drop zone one.
33:28Yay!
33:30I'm happy with that.
33:30I'm happy with that.
33:31That's good.
33:32That's good.
33:34Yay!
33:36Yes!
33:39Yes!
33:42Yay!
33:45Yay!
33:45I got the mystery!
33:47Yay!
33:48She goes, that's good.
33:51That's unreal.
33:52Yay, good.
33:53Five came over, including the mystery.
33:55So $500 will give you $3,000.
33:58And with the mystery counter,
33:59you can keep everything fresh and cool
34:01with this Whirlpool fridge featuring
34:03Sixth Sense Adaptive Intelligence technology.
34:06It's valued at $1,500.
34:08That's all fridges.
34:09Yay!
34:10Yay!
34:14I'm stoked with the fridge.
34:16Yeah, and that mystery counter came out of the other zone,
34:19not the one you're playing, by the way.
34:20So let's see what happens here.
34:22Two counters in.
34:23We're on the bottom shelf.
34:24Yay.
34:24See if you can get one more over that side.
34:30Right.
34:30Right, right, right, right.
34:34I'm happy with it.
34:35Not quite, but still, it's been exceptional opening.
34:39Three counters.
34:41I still think it's pretty good.
34:43Don't move that further, right.
34:46Hey, what a start.
34:48Two more, $200, $3,200.
34:51Theatre was good to us.
34:52As we go back to the board and we head on down to geography.
34:56I'm not confident with geography.
34:57Okay.
34:58I've heard you say stuff like that before.
35:01Here we go.
35:07Georgia, what word means the point on the Earth's surface
35:10directly above an earthquake starting point?
35:15Is it the epicentre, the epiquake, or the epiderm?
35:20I've been in an earthquake when I was in Bali
35:23and I feel like I heard people talking about epicentre.
35:26I also probably have taught about earthquakes at school.
35:29So I'm going to go epicentre.
35:32Great.
35:32Yep.
35:33Let's light it up.
35:35Is the point on the Earth's surface
35:37directly above an earthquake starting point
35:39called the epicentre?
35:42You know it.
35:43Yes.
35:47I love Rhys.
35:48He's sitting there going,
35:49I didn't know she was this smart.
35:52He's having a day out, that's for sure.
35:55Could be even better if we can get another one
35:57and push this closer to that tipping point.
35:59Three more chances.
36:00Light it up.
36:07No, okay.
36:08That's okay.
36:11Don't want it that side, but that's all right.
36:13No, but that's okay.
36:14That's just going to clean things up a little bit.
36:17All right, here comes another mystery.
36:19Oh!
36:22It's close, isn't it?
36:23It is close.
36:24Okay, two more to put in.
36:26Light it up again.
36:28Oh, there's a bit of a gap there.
36:30I'm a bit worried about.
36:32Is it a one?
36:33Is it a rider?
36:34No.
36:35It's flat.
36:35It's flat.
36:36And we'll see it should get a...
36:38There's a bit of weight at the front of this one.
36:40Here we go.
36:42Come on.
36:43Shuffle it that way.
36:44There you go.
36:48Yay!
36:52Four, including another mystery.
36:55$400 will give you $3,600.
36:58And we've got the fridge, and you'll rest easy thanks to Sleeping Duck,
37:02because you've won a MAC-2 mattress package,
37:04including two anti-gravity pillows and a Neo Silk sheet set,
37:08valued at over $2,000.
37:11Oh!
37:12Yes!
37:12That's so cool!
37:15Oh, my goodness!
37:17Ah!
37:18I'm so excited.
37:19French's bedding, sheets, pillows.
37:21Just need a house.
37:22Yeah.
37:23Did you do that?
37:24Right.
37:25One more.
37:26Light it up again, please.
37:31Right.
37:32Right, right, right, right.
37:34Right, right.
37:34Oh!
37:35Heavy drop.
37:37Yeah, a bouncing one as well.
37:38Isn't it?
37:39Okay, it's not going to help the jackpot counter,
37:41but it is going to clean out that left-hand side.
37:44That's okay.
37:46Oh!
37:46All money, Seth.
37:47Oh, I don't like that little gap, but that's okay.
37:50It's a single.
37:51$3,700.
37:53And we're out of counters.
37:55But, gee, we're playing well.
37:56Three categories left.
37:57Film is next as we go from top to bottom.
38:00Mm-hmm.
38:01Yep.
38:03Come on!
38:03Come on!
38:03Come on!
38:04Come on, guys all!
38:07In the film Jaws, what is the name of Quint's shark hunting boat?
38:14Meg, orca, or Kraken?
38:17I've never watched the movie.
38:19I know it's about a shark.
38:21And I'm...
38:23Kraken, to me, is an octopus.
38:26Orca's a whale.
38:27Meg is, like, megalodon shark.
38:30I feel like, using context clues,
38:33I would like to guess shark, please.
38:35No, Meg.
38:36I know it's a shark.
38:38Should I light up Meg?
38:39Yeah.
38:39Light up Meg.
38:41And we are in prime position for $20,000 today.
38:45We're going to have to wait to see if it comes over the tipping point.
39:09But we've got a bit of work to do still.
39:12And before the break, the question was this.
39:14In the film Jaws, what is the name of Quint's shark hunting boat?
39:19She said, light up Meg for megalodon.
39:21Mm-hmm.
39:23Is that correct?
39:26Oh!
39:29Orca.
39:29It's a shark.
39:30I think we went too deep.
39:31We did.
39:32That's OK.
39:33That's OK.
39:34That's the first little hurdle that you've had.
39:36Stumble, you could say.
39:38I did say hurdle before.
39:39I tripped on the hurdles earlier.
39:40I forgot about that.
39:41So let's go back.
39:43Mm-hmm.
39:43Two categories left.
39:44Yep.
39:45We're playing for three.
39:46And art's up next.
39:47Yep.
39:50Here we go.
39:52Let's hope you're into your art.
39:55One of the world's most recognised artworks,
39:59a painting by Johannes Vermeer,
40:01depicts a girl wearing what item?
40:04A diamond brooch, a ruby necklace,
40:07or a pearl earring.
40:09I think I know it already.
40:10I think I knew it before the options.
40:12I'm going to go girl with the pearl earring,
40:14if that's OK.
40:15It's OK.
40:16I'll light it up.
40:19Did Johannes Vermeer depict a girl
40:21wearing a pearl earring?
40:25Absolutely.
40:26Yay!
40:28All right.
40:29This could be it.
40:31One good drop, possibly two required.
40:34Mm-hmm.
40:34And you've got $20,000.
40:36Should we put the first one in?
40:37Yes, please.
40:38Light it up.
40:39Come on, Johannes.
40:41Need them on the right here.
40:45Go over!
40:46Go over!
40:47Oh!
40:48That's OK.
40:49That's OK.
40:51Fingers...
40:52Filling some gaps up there.
40:53Yeah.
40:54Nope.
40:55I hopefully...
40:56I wanted to clear that stuff in the front.
40:58Oh, I'm with you.
41:00Right, certainly loaded on that tipping point.
41:02Let's go back.
41:03Second counter.
41:04Light it up.
41:04To the right.
41:06Everything to the right.
41:07We've got to sort of like...
41:07Big to the right.
41:12Sort of changed its mood, the machine.
41:14It's not going to the right, is it?
41:15Not at a minute.
41:16But it may.
41:17Come on down.
41:18Oh!
41:19Right.
41:20OK.
41:20Plenty's going to happen in this final drop,
41:22no matter where it goes.
41:23I think so.
41:23Because you'll clear out left and centre,
41:25but if it goes to the right...
41:27Perfect.
41:27We're on track for the jackpot.
41:29Light it up.
41:30Come on, everybody.
41:31Feel right again.
41:32Oh!
41:32Oh!
41:33Oh, I'm worried about that top shelf.
41:37Oh, now it's just sticking, staying there.
41:39All right.
41:40But here comes some more money for you.
41:42That top shelf is so annoying.
41:42It should be well and truly over 4K.
41:43Oh, it's a good position.
41:45Oh, look at this.
41:45Good position.
41:46I want to clear that big...
41:48Oh!
41:51Yay!
41:52I told you that was ready to clear.
41:54You were right.
41:55You're crazy.
41:55Oh, yeah.
41:56Oh, it's just like a big party.
42:01Nine this time.
42:02Oh, my goodness!
42:02Nine hundred.
42:05Yay!
42:064,600.
42:07Oh, I'm so happy with that.
42:08You should be very happy,
42:10because have a look where that is now.
42:12$20,000, literally teetering on the edge.
42:15We have one category left.
42:17We're going to need those three counters.
42:19Hobbies and games.
42:22Come on, guys!
42:23Come on, guys!
42:24Come on!
42:27Which of these is the name of a popular horror video game series featuring large animatronic
42:33animals?
42:34And you've gone like this.
42:36I think I know it.
42:36Do you?
42:37Yeah.
42:37Is it two nights at Teddy's, five nights at Freddy's, or eight nights at Eddie's?
42:45It's FNAF.
42:46I know the kids call it.
42:47FNAF.
42:48Which is five nights at Freddy's.
42:50I've seen it.
42:50So I'm really confident with this one.
42:52This is a good last question.
42:54Should I light up that, then?
42:55100%.
42:56Five nights at Freddy's.
42:58We've lit up five nights at Freddy's.
43:00Have we got three counters and potentially a jackpot?
43:05Yes!
43:09FNAF!
43:10FNAF!
43:10Come on, George.
43:12You know what I love about Tipping Point?
43:13Tell me.
43:14Is that you'll come on as a teacher and talk about FNAF,
43:17and now all the kids are going to be watching the show loving it.
43:21Yeah.
43:21I'm glad.
43:22But, Georgia, all of those kids at home that are hoping you get this $20,000,
43:26you're going to have to keep them waiting a little longer as we go to the newsroom.
43:31All right, Georgia, before we went to the newsroom,
43:33we've talked about the kids at school that are going to be watching you,
43:36that have helped you get across the line with that final question.
43:40Are you ready to put the counters into the machine?
43:42Yes.
43:42Okay.
43:42Good luck.
43:43Let's put the first one in and get behind Georgia.
43:45Light up job zone one.
43:48Come on, Georgia.
43:50Come on.
43:53Look.
43:54That one's hanging over.
43:57I'm a little bit worried here.
44:00What worries you?
44:01That it won't tip over.
44:06It moved a little bit.
44:09It moved a little bit.
44:10You saw it.
44:11I saw it.
44:12Look at it.
44:13Oh, no.
44:14Three.
44:144,900.
44:16And where this is, it's a nudge from any direction.
44:20Two more counters, I hope.
44:21We've got two more.
44:22Are we ready?
44:23Yes.
44:24Light it up.
44:26Come on, Georgia.
44:28Come on.
44:33Come on.
44:35Oh, I feel like it's pretty good.
44:37Georgia.
44:38Yes.
44:39Come on.
44:40Come on.
44:43Come on.
44:48Come on.
44:49Oh, my God.
44:53Woo.
45:02Come back into here.
45:04Georgia, $20,000.
45:06What difference can that make to you right now?
45:08Oh, it will make a massive difference for us right now.
45:11I think being young, it's a really good amount of money
45:13to put into our bank account.
45:14Absolutely it is.
45:15Well done to you.
45:17Have a great little bit of a holiday.
45:18But don't forget, you've got over $3,500 of prizes,
45:22a fridge and a sleeping duck bed.
45:25What a day out.
45:26It's been a fantastic game.
45:27$20,000 is yours.
45:29Thanks, audience.
45:30Thanks, Shirley and Bob over there as well.
45:33And thank you at home.
45:34And join us next time when the fader's three more contestants
45:37hands in the balance.
45:39I'm tipping, boy.
