00:00One of our contestants could walk away with our $20,000 jackpot,
00:03but to do that, they'll have to conquer this magnificent machine.
00:07Who'll claim the cash? I'm Todd Woodbridge.
00:09Let's release the counters and play Tipping Points.
00:31Hello, everybody. Welcome to Tipping Point.
00:33These three contestants are ready to take on our machine, so let's meet them.
00:37I'm Adam. I'm a teaching student from Somerville,
00:39and if I win the jackpot, I'm going to take my dad to Fiji for his 60th birthday.
00:43Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm a retired shopping centre manager from Melbourne,
00:46and I once called the police at 3am because I had a possum break into my house.
00:52Hi, I'm Tyne, a fuel tanker driver from Seabrook in Melbourne,
00:56and I once, 28 years ago, delivered my third child in the hospital
00:59when the doctors decided to leave the room.
01:03And Tyne, you've got your lovely wife here and your daughter.
01:07My wife, Jackie, for 35 years, and my daughter, Bryony.
01:12Jackie, let me ask you this. How were you with that?
01:15Obviously, you did all right.
01:16I didn't have a choice.
01:17Yeah.
01:17The nurse left, and I said, the baby's coming.
01:20It's on its way.
01:21He was there, and I said, you'd better get down there, mate.
01:24It's on you.
01:26And how did you cope with it?
01:28Tyne, obviously, well.
01:29It seemed to be all natural.
01:30Took it all in your stride.
01:30I went sort of back to my, you know, doctoring days and sort of, yeah,
01:35just said, can you stop screaming unnecessarily,
01:38and I'll deliver the baby.
01:39So it was all done.
01:40I love it.
01:41And tell you what else I love.
01:42I love your shirt.
01:43It's a great shirt.
01:44Hey, where'd you find that?
01:46We did order it.
01:47We were going to put, we had a picture of myself or you,
01:50so we went with the prettier one.
01:51We went with the one with hair.
01:53Yeah.
01:55I hope it brings you luck today, Tyne.
01:57Great having you on the show.
01:58Thanks.
01:59And Jenny, lovely to have you.
02:01But tell us, did you actually think you had a real intruder,
02:03or what was going on?
02:04No, I was actually asleep, and I woke up.
02:06I just had a feeling there was something in the room,
02:09and there was a possum sitting on the chair looking at me.
02:12And I had no idea how it got in,
02:14but by the time I got it out the back door,
02:17it looked back at me as if to say,
02:18I am never coming back here again.
02:21Oh, well, hope it all goes well for you today, Jenny.
02:24No surprises here.
02:25One hopes.
02:26And Adam, lovely to have you.
02:28Take Dad to Fiji.
02:30Yeah, so we've never left the country, or I haven't,
02:32and my siblings haven't.
02:33So head over there, have a bit of fun.
02:35That sounds great.
02:37Now, when you talk about siblings,
02:38the viewers at home are going,
02:41there's someone else behind.
02:42I'm seeing double.
02:42You're seeing double.
02:43So one of those siblings is your twin that's with you today.
02:46I'm your twin, Daniel.
02:47Hello, Daniel.
02:49Daniel, how are you?
02:50Lovely to have you.
02:50Thank you, Todd.
02:51So is he the brighter one, or you,
02:53or how's this going to work?
02:55Brighter in different ways.
02:56Ah, OK.
02:57Well, if it doesn't go well, Adam,
02:59at least we know we can switch you out, hey?
03:01That's it.
03:02That's a strategy.
03:03All right.
03:03Well, best of luck to all three of you.
03:05Time to get the game underway.
03:06It's time to play Bank Builder.
03:14And in our Bank Builder round,
03:15it's your chance to start making some serious money.
03:18Every counter that you can push over the tipping point,
03:20$100 will be added into your bank.
03:22Now, you each start with three counters,
03:24and if you buzz in and answer correctly,
03:26you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine,
03:28or you could pass and ask one of your opponents
03:30to play one of theirs instead.
03:32If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds,
03:36I'll have to take a counter away from you.
03:38In the machine, you'll see the two double counters
03:40on the top shelf there today.
03:41Push those over to double the value of your drop,
03:44along with our mystery counters.
03:45And if you can push those over,
03:46you'll be going away with a great prize.
03:48So we're all set.
03:49Hands on buzzers, everyone.
03:50Here comes the first question.
03:52Prior to politics, which Australian Prime Minister
03:55set a Guinness World Record for drinking a yard of...
03:58Tyne?
03:59Bob Hawke.
03:59Indeed, yes.
04:00A yard of beer within 12 seconds.
04:03What would you like to do?
04:04Where would you like to deliver the first counter today, Tyne?
04:07I think we'll go number one, please.
04:10Light her up.
04:18Yes.
04:19Lines up nicely with the silver and the double on top.
04:22Come on.
04:24Yes, get down there.
04:26That's it.
04:30A couple will get you started, Tyne.
04:33200 will go up and into our machine.
04:35And let's transfer it from there.
04:36We'll put that into your bank.
04:37So some nice early money to get things settled.
04:42OK, on to our second question.
04:44The slang term delulu is an abbreviation of what word?
04:47Adam?
04:48Delusional.
04:49Correct, yes.
04:51Right, Adam.
04:52Where are you off to?
04:54I reckon I'm going to drop zone three.
04:56Thanks, Todd.
04:56OK.
04:56Light up three for the first time.
05:04Down quickly.
05:05But again, lines up nicely for you, Adam.
05:19League changes hands early.
05:20Three over the tipping point for you, Adam, to get started.
05:23So 300 goes up.
05:25Let's take it from the machine.
05:26Put that in the bank.
05:26And you've got a one-counter lead over time.
05:30All right, on to our next question.
05:32The Broadway musical, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, is set in which ancient empire?
05:39Jenny?
05:40Roman?
05:40Correct.
05:41Nice work.
05:42Everybody off the mark.
05:44Let's see what you can do.
05:45Jenny, you want to play?
05:46You want to pass?
05:47No, I'll play and I'll go for drop zone two, please.
05:50Let's light up two for the first time.
05:52Going all the way through the machine early.
06:01Now, not quite as lined up.
06:03But you get it off anyway.
06:05Nice.
06:10That's a little unlucky.
06:12One just slips out from underneath.
06:14Doesn't pull anything with it.
06:15But at least you've got some money to start.
06:17$100.
06:18Put it into your bank.
06:19And everybody with two counters left to play.
06:22Tyn, a nice tight game early on.
06:24The next question.
06:26Developed in 1985 by Swedish chef Severin Sjosted, are the meatballs sold in which international
06:32furni...
06:33Tyn?
06:34Swedish meatballs?
06:35Are the meatballs sold in which international furniture store?
06:39Ikea.
06:39That would be Ikea.
06:42Tyn, I've got to take that counter away from you.
06:44Sorry.
06:45Just got in a little early there.
06:47One counter left for you to play.
06:49On to our next question.
06:50In TV's Doctor Who, the exterior of the classic police box TARDIS is primarily what?
06:56Adam?
06:57Blue.
06:58It is.
06:58What colour?
07:02Drop zone two.
07:04Thanks, Todd.
07:04Studying it hard there, Adam.
07:06Light her up.
07:14Now, what?
07:15Yeah, maybe.
07:18Oh.
07:21Just have a look at the one that's leaning.
07:24It might still slide.
07:29Sticking to it.
07:30Bad luck.
07:31Okay.
07:32That keeps things interesting in terms of the score.
07:35Adam, you've got one counter left to play.
07:37Still got a one-counter lead.
07:39Tyn's got one counter to play.
07:40Jenny, you've got two.
07:41Okay.
07:42Our next question.
07:44The name of which other major Japanese city is an anagram of Kyoto?
07:49Jenny.
07:49Osaka.
07:51Tokyo.
07:52Oh, wrong one.
07:53Yeah.
07:54All right, Jenny, you've got to take that away.
07:56So now this is even better in terms of excitement, in terms of score.
08:00You guys don't seem excited, but I am.
08:03We're excited.
08:04All right, everybody with their final counter.
08:07Just one and two counters separating the three of you.
08:10Iceberg and just Joey are popular varieties of which thorny fragrant flower?
08:16Adam.
08:17Oh, I was going to say lettuce.
08:20No.
08:20It would be a rose, Adam.
08:22Yeah.
08:22A fragrant flower.
08:24All right, Adam, I've got to take that last one away from you.
08:27Unfortunately, you're out of counter, so you need to sit back, see what Jenny and Tyne
08:31can do with their final counter.
08:32Last two questions.
08:34An icon of World War II, the Supermarine Spitfire was what form of military vehicle?
08:40Jenny.
08:41Jeep.
08:41It was an aeroplane.
08:43Oh, it was.
08:45The Supermarine Spitfire.
08:46All right, I've got to take that one away from you, Jenny.
08:49Oh, dear.
08:50So you sit back, just two behind Adam, so he's still well and truly in it.
08:53And Tyne, just you and me.
08:56Pressure's on.
08:56No need to buzz in.
08:58Do need to give me an answer.
08:59Got three seconds to do that, so good luck with the final one here.
09:03Australian Olympian Michelle Timms is a member of the International Hall of Fame in which
09:07team ball sport?
09:09Volleyball.
09:11Basketball.
09:13That's a foul, Tyne.
09:16It had to be a ball of some sort.
09:17It was a ball.
09:18I'm going to take that counter away from you.
09:21And at the end of our bank builder round, well, we didn't do much.
09:25Adam's got the lead with 300.
09:26Jenny's got 100.
09:27Tyne's got 200.
09:29You're all well and truly in it as we get set to play Quickfire right after this break.
09:47Welcome back, everyone.
09:48Adam, Jenny and Tyne.
09:49There's a battle to come here at the moment.
09:51We're going to find out who's going to stay in the game.
09:53To do that, we need to play Quickfire.
09:59And in Quickfire, you'll each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as you possibly
10:03can.
10:04Every correct answer gets you a counter to play into the machine.
10:07But of course, the player with the lowest score at the end of this round will be leaving
10:11the game.
10:11Now, Adam, you hang on to the lead there with 300 in the bank.
10:14One in front of Tyne, two in front of Jenny.
10:17So it's still anybody's game.
10:18But you have the advantage of playing first here if you would like to.
10:23Depends on how you see the machine.
10:24I reckon it's close to paying out, so I'll go first.
10:27Okay.
10:28Good luck to you.
10:30So I'll put 30 seconds on the clock, Adam.
10:32Yep.
10:32And your time starts now.
10:34Which American city is named after Roman General Lucius Cincinnatus?
10:38Cincinnati.
10:39Correct.
10:40Englishman Dickie Bird was famously an international umpire of which sport?
10:44Soccer.
10:44Cricket.
10:45I Hope I Get It is the opening number of which 1975 stage musical?
10:49A Chorus Line.

11:08Still impress me, buddy.
11:10I'm in with that.
11:12Hey, you like a bit of entertainment.
11:13Is that you or is that Daniel?
11:15That's me, yeah.
11:16So, Chorus Line.
11:16Yeah.
11:17So, big into musicals and performing.
11:19So, love all that kind of stuff.
11:20Right, I know.
11:20So, that was right in your wheelhouse.
11:21Most 21-year-olds wouldn't get a Chorus Line, would they, Jenny?
11:25No.
11:26No.
11:26Absolutely not.
11:26Anyway, he got it.
11:28Awesome.
11:28Right, let's get four counters into the machine.
11:30Adam, where are you going to start?
11:32We'll go two first, Todd.
11:34Light up job zone two.
11:44Right, that might go into that little gap, but you might still sneak off.
11:49Oh, hello.
11:50I thought you were going to sneak something off, not that many.
11:54Well done.
11:56Fantastic.
11:56Lucky with that.
11:57Yeah.
11:58That just changed things in a hurry, didn't it?
12:00Sure did.
12:01Eight over the tipping point gives you 800.
12:03Wow.
12:04Amazing.
12:05Yeah.
12:06You said it was ready to pay out.
12:08I mean, you've still got three more counters to put in, Adam.
12:10Two, two, two, two, two, two, two.
12:13I think we can go four, Todd.
12:15Really?
12:15Drop zone four.
12:16Yeah.
12:17Before I light it up, usually twins are in sync.
12:21They are.
12:21But sometimes you can be wrong, so.
12:24Daniel's going two, two, and you go, oh, I'm going four.
12:27Yeah.
12:28So I'll light it up.
12:28Awesome, thank you.
12:36Yeah.
12:37Now, this is the first time we've been here.
12:42And if it doesn't line up perfectly, that can happen.
12:45But we're in there now.
12:47Two more.
12:50We'll go with two again, Todd.
12:52Okay.
12:53Two, thank you.
12:55See if Daniel was correct.
12:57Yeah.
13:00Oh.
13:01Ah.
13:03That's a rider.
13:05Yeah.
13:05Winona's appeared.
13:09Slams down hard and jumps on top.
13:12So you've got one more left here, Adam.
13:14Two.
13:15Four.
13:16Four, thanks, Todd.
13:17Going back again.
13:17Yeah, we'll go back again.
13:19Yeah.
13:27That should be fine this time, I think.
13:30Yeah.
13:31Oh.
13:32Oh.
13:40You had a great drop and another little push, but I think it's riding.
13:43Yes, it is.
13:44Yeah.
13:44So another half a dozen coming your way.
13:47Six hundred to go into the machine.
13:50Transfer it from there and add it into your bank.
13:52And you've got one thousand seven hundred.
13:54Well played, Adam.
13:55Very well done.
13:56Hi, Adam.
13:58So, Todd, he did a bit of cleaning up on the tipping point then, didn't he?
14:01Yeah, he's destroyed it big time.
14:02Oh, well, there's still plenty there.
14:05Still game on.
14:05It's your choice, though, if you want to play now.
14:08Yeah, I'll play now, yep.
14:09Okay, let's do that.
14:10Thirty seconds goes on the clock.

14:52Where are we headed?
14:53I think we'll go drop zone two, Todd.
14:56Light up drop zone two.
15:06No, no, no, no.
15:08No, just get flat.
15:09Don't ride, dude.
15:10Don't ride.
15:11Oh.
15:12Oh.
15:12Sits.
15:13It bounced a little, but you got away with it, Tyne.
15:19Might get yourself a mystery here.
15:24You might have set yourself up for a mystery.
15:27Maybe.
15:27Yep.
15:28What do you want to do?
15:29We'll go drop zone two again, Todd.
15:31Back you go.
15:35Oh, yeah, that's nice.
15:37Yeah, good.
15:41What?
15:42Oh, oh, oh.
15:43Get down.
15:44Here we go.
15:45Yay!
15:50Got yourself another three, including the mystery counter, so let's do the money.
15:53We'll put $300 up, and we'll take that and put that into your bank, and Tyne, you've got
15:57$500.
15:58Four in front of Jenny.
16:00Jenny, but be careful, because this one's hot.
16:03You've won a Ziggy Triple Elite Barbecue and Ziggy accessories, thanks to Barbecues Galore
16:08featuring power burners and a precision grill system.
16:11It's valued at $1,400, Tyne.
16:15And Jenny, you were after that, weren't you?
16:17I'm after anything at the moment.
16:18Righto.
16:19You've got to get after time.
16:21I know.
16:21That's what you've got to do.
16:22I know.
16:22You're four counters behind.
16:23There's still plenty of money in there.
16:25You ready to give it a crack?
16:26I'm ready.

17:02Tolstoy.
17:03Chekhov, it would have been.
17:05Very, very solid, Jenny.
17:08Maybe you've done enough to give yourself a chance to get the tie or better.
17:12You've got three to put in.
17:15They're telling me drop zone three, so three.
17:18Light it up.
17:21Four to tie, Jenny.
17:29It's okay, I think.
17:31It's lined up where there's counters on the edge.
17:33Oh, yes.
17:35Come on, come on, come on.
17:36Push them down.
17:40Two.
17:41Two hundred goes in.
17:43You're halfway to tying.
17:44Three would get you through now.
17:46Three.
17:47Three.
17:48Three.
17:48Three.
17:49Okay, drop zone three again, please.
17:53Light her up.
18:01Oh, I don't think that's going to do it.
18:03It'll wrap around to the left and I think you'll get it off.
18:06There you go.
18:08Come on, put them down, put them down.
18:14You've got yourself another three and that'll get you through, so now you're chasing Adam.
18:20Five hundred sits in the machine, you've got one more to play.
18:23Drop zone three again.
18:24Light up drop zone three.
18:30Okay.
18:33Now, I know you've been after a mystery.
18:35I'm not sure you've got enough there to be able to get that off, but...
18:37Maybe not.
18:38I don't think that's...
18:40Come on, push them forward.
18:42Oh, my God.
18:45So by the skin of your teeth, you're safe, Jenny.
18:47We'll take five hundred out of the machine.
18:48We'll put it in and you'll have a total of six hundred.
18:53At the end of our quickfire round, great playing by Adam to get one thousand seven hundred.
18:57Jenny's got six hundred and Tyne, well, you're not leaving empty handed, but we have found
19:01your tipping points.
19:02Thanks, Todd.
19:03Thanks, Todd.
19:05Tyne, it's been great having you.
19:06And that shirt, that's already a winner as far as I'm concerned.
19:10Had a good time with us?
19:11Great.
19:12Fantastic.
19:12Lovely meeting you.
19:13Yep.
19:14And it means that after the break, Adam and Jenny, you two are going to go head to head
19:17to live and count a difference at the moment.
19:19Can Adam hang on or will Jenny get over that top of him?
19:22We'll find out next on Tipping Points.
19:37Welcome back, everybody.
19:38Adam and Jenny, you two are about to go head to head.
19:40We'll find out in a moment who's going to go on to play for the $20,000.
19:43Before we do that, though, Jenny, it's great to have you.
19:46Retired shopping centre manager.
19:48Correct.
19:48That's taken you actually all around the world.
19:50Tell us about it.
19:51It has.
19:51I've been very fortunate.
19:52I've lived in Malaysia twice, working in shopping centres.
19:57It's the last time I was there for eight years.
19:58Wow.
19:58So it's fantastic.
19:59It's just a great country and a fabulous experience.
20:02We could travel off to other countries close by.
20:05And you've got your partner with us today.
20:06You've got Chris.
20:07G'day, Chris.
20:08How are you?
20:08Good.
20:09What do you want to do with the money if you can get over the top of Adam?
20:12I'd really like to go to South Africa.
20:14Oh, yes.
20:14And go to Karuga and back up through Dubai if we can.
20:18That's on my bucket list to do that.
20:19It'd be really lovely.
20:20Well, you do have work to do because you're 11 counters behind at the moment.
20:24I know.
20:24And we have a chat to Adam, a student teacher at the moment in placement.
20:30Is that right, Adam?
20:30Yes, it is right.
20:31So I'm currently at Monash and I've currently been studying, teaching there since I was secondary
20:38school.
20:38So I went near in year 12.
20:40That's what I wanted to do.
20:40Yeah, fantastic.
20:41Now, very different to Daniel, your brother that's sitting in the stands there.
20:46Daniel, what are you doing?
20:48Engineering is absolutely what I'm doing.
20:50Okay.
20:50And are you into arts and stuff as well or not?
20:53No, not at all.
20:54I don't get normally like inseparable.
20:56Are you two like that though?
20:58We are in different ways.
20:59Probably what we focus on in terms of academics and hobbies, we're very different.
21:03Yeah.
21:03Um, no, we are very closely bonded otherwise.
21:06And at school, could the teachers tell you apart?
21:08They could definitely.
21:09In earlier years it was a lot harder, but when we got towards the end, it was definitely,
21:14they could do it.
21:15And you did mention that you love your drama and all of the like and you work a little
21:18bit in that.
21:19Tell me about the escape room stuff.
21:20I work in an escape room, so we have lots of different sort of themed rooms and then I'll
21:25basically run the rooms for the people and make sure they can get out in 60 minutes.
21:34What makes you say that, Todd?
21:40I've seen different mannerisms here.
21:44You have.
21:47Get out.
21:52In you go.
21:54Now, stand side by side, there is a difference, but it took me a little while to get it.
22:03Well played, fellas.
22:06Up you go, Daniel.
22:07Well done, guys.
22:09Well done.
22:12Such fun, Todd.
22:13Such fun.
22:15Alright, well, are you two ready to get going again?
22:17Ready.
22:18Alright, 11 counter difference.
22:20Let's play head to head.
22:26In our head-to-head round, you each get two questions.
22:29If you get your question correct, you get to play the counter into the machine, but if
22:32you get it wrong, your opponent will steal it.
22:34And if you're unsure of your question, you can pass it to your opponent, not to your brother.
22:41Alright?
22:42Now, you're going to have the first question, Adam.
22:44You've got the lead, and here it is.
22:46Businessman and car designer, Ferruccio Lamborghini, began in 1948 by repurposing military machinery
22:54to make what agricultural vehicles?
22:57Pass or play?
22:58I'm going to be honest, I would have no idea, Todd.
23:01So, I'm going to pass.
23:08To make what agricultural vehicle?
23:10I'm going to have a little bit of a guess on this one, because I actually think I heard
23:14about this recently, and I hope I'm right.
23:17A tractor.
23:18Jenny thinks she's heard.
23:20It's a tractor.
23:24And it is.
23:30Surprise.
23:3111 behind, it's a good chance it's a steal.
23:33You're going to have to work your way around here to try to find some more counters close
23:37to the game.
23:38Three.
23:40I think I'm going to go three.
23:44Light up three.
23:52Oh, no, no, no, no.
23:56Just got to go softly.
24:00Slides on top again.
24:02And a rider.
24:03And I don't think anything will come up.
24:04No.
24:05Just chases on.
24:07So.
24:08Tractor for nothing.
24:09Didn't get the most out of that opportunity.
24:11Right.
24:11All right, but the gap didn't widen, and you've got the next question, Jenny.
24:14By law, what is the minimum age required to become President of the United States?
24:20Pass or play?
24:21I think I might pass this, because I'm not entirely sure.
24:24I've got a clue, but I think I'm going to pass it.
24:28Adam?
24:29What do you think it might be?
24:31I know, like, the legal drinking age is 21, so thinking around there.
24:35I'm going to go middle of the 20s.
24:37We'll go 25.
24:38Is it 25, Adam?
24:43No.
24:44It's actually 35.
24:45Oh.
24:45Yeah, so it's a little older than maybe you'd think.
24:49I actually thought it was going to be much younger, so.
24:50Yeah.
24:51That one's done.
24:52So, Jenny, good pass.
24:53You've got another chance.
24:54You'll be need to find some this time.
24:55I do, I do.
24:55You're going to make the most of the opportunity.
24:57I'll go drop zone three again.
24:58Light her up, drop zone three.
25:04That'll be better.
25:05Come on.
25:06Come on, push them down.
25:08Push it, push it, push it.
25:11Oh!
25:12Come on.
25:13Drop them, drop them.
25:15Oh!
25:16Well done.
25:19Okay, the gap's tightened.
25:21That was seven, and a very good drop indeed.
25:23$700 goes up.
25:25We'll move it from there.
25:26Put that in the bank, Jenny.
25:28And when you come back after the break,
25:30you're only going to be four behind.
25:31Can Adam hang on?
25:32It's going to be a good finish to this round.
25:34Stay with us on Tipping Point.
25:48Welcome back, everyone, to Tipping Point.
25:49Adam and Jenny, the game continues.
25:51And well done, Jenny.
25:52You brought it down to four counters.
25:54But, Adam, here comes your next question.
25:57With events in tennis, sailing, croquet, equestrian and golf,
26:02women first competed at the modern Olympics in what year?
26:07Pass or play?
26:08I'm going to pass again.
26:13Think of it as an opportunity, Jenny.
26:16Thank you, Adam.
26:16I'd like you to repeat the question, if you would please.
26:19With events in tennis, sailing, croquet, equestrian and golf,
26:24women first competed at the modern Olympics in what year?
26:28Gosh.
26:29I'll say 1956.
26:32Melbourne.
26:33Melbourne.
26:341956.
26:35I think it's wrong.
26:36What would you have gone with if you had to pick one, Adam?
26:39Probably the 60s, yeah.
26:40Yeah.
26:40Somewhere in the 60s.
26:41I think I'm a bit early.
26:42Has Jenny got it with 1956?
26:48Nice.
26:49You've got to go back to 1900.
26:52Wow.
26:53Gosh.
26:54Yeah, Paris.
26:55It was.
26:56Gee whiz, some of those, I wouldn't have thought they were playing in those days.
26:58Well, probably the giveaway is croquet.
27:01Yes, true.
27:01My grandmother played that.
27:02They don't play a lot of croquet anymore.
27:04All right.
27:05Well, Jenny, not to be your counter, Adam, here's your chance now.
27:11Let's go one.
27:13Thanks, Todd.
27:13Light up job zone one.
27:22Yeah.
27:24That's lining up nicely.
27:26Yeah.
27:36That hard work that you did, Jenny, with your drop just got wiped away with half a dozen.
27:41Another 600 going into Adam's bank.
27:44Let's take it out of the machine.
27:45Put it in there.
27:46And Adam, you've got $2,300.
27:50So, Jenny, you've got to find 10.
27:52I think I'm in trouble.
27:53Might be, but there's still a mystery there.
27:56Yes.
27:57And you've still got to get the counter anyway.
27:58Yes, exactly.
27:59So, here's the final question.
28:01In 2024, Dua Lipa and which rapper both had hits titled Houdini?
28:07Oh, jeez.
28:08Pass or play?
28:10Couldn't be any easier for me, could it?
28:11Yeah.
28:12Um, look, I seriously think I'm going to have to pass and I hate doing it because I've
28:18got a horrible feeling Adam might know this.
28:20Adam?
28:21I have a feeling it's possibly Eminem.
28:25Eminem.
28:26I hope you're possibly wrong.
28:30Let's find out.
28:32Is it Eminem?
28:36It is.
28:39Played well, Adam.
28:41Congratulations to you.
28:43And where do you want to put the final counter?
28:45We'll go three, Todd.
28:46Go for that mystery later on.
28:54Whoa.
28:57Here we go.
28:58Can you get off the top here?
28:59Yeah.
29:01I'll do with that.
29:04Good one.
29:09And a really nice way to finish the round for you, Adam.
29:11Two more.
29:12We'll give you another $200.
29:13And when it goes up and into the bank, it will give you $2,500.
29:18Well, good result.
29:19But, of course, you've got the mystery counter.
29:21And thanks to Victorinox, start every trip right.
29:24With an Aerox luggage set, including a super durable hard side case and carry-on, it's valued
29:29at over $1,500, Adam.
29:32Thank you, Todd.
29:35If we manage to get the speed, they don't go to good use.
29:38There you go.
29:38Exactly.
29:39And so at the end of our round, with Adam having $2,500 in the bank, Jenny, you played
29:44well, couldn't quite hang on, and it means we've found your tipping point.
29:48Thanks, Todd.
29:48Thanks.
29:49Well done.
29:51Very nice to meet you.
29:53You too, Todd.
29:53And hope that you get back, or get over, I should say, to South Africa for that trip.
29:58So, too.
29:58Thank you very much, Todd.
29:59Lovely having you on the show.
30:00And Adam, well, I don't know if I've got Adam, I don't know if I've got Daniel, but
30:04one of you is going to play for this, the Jackpot Counter.
30:08It's worth $20,000.
30:10We'd love to get you and your dad on a trip to Fiji.
30:12And we'll find out after the break if you can make that happen.
30:32Still trying to get over it, Adam.
30:34I'm still trying to get over being taken for a ride by Daniel.
30:37You've done very well.
30:38Played brilliantly.
30:39$2,500 is your sitting in the bank.
30:43Happy with that.
30:44And, uh, have you seen my double?
30:46Have a look at that.
30:47You're not the only one with a twin.
30:49Hey.
30:49You've put it on me.
30:50Hey.
30:52Have a look at that.
30:53All I've got to do is stand here like this with the Jackpot Counter.
30:55I'm not going to know who's who.
30:56You won't know the one.
30:57That one will be a bit stiff when it comes out.
30:59But anyway, if you do go all the way, Fiji, your dad's never been overseas.
31:03Have you done any travel?
31:05I've been overseas.
31:06Dad has been overseas.
31:07Yeah.
31:07But we, yeah, as the siblings and the kids, we've never been overseas.
31:11So that would be pretty cool.
31:12Very cool.
31:12All right.
31:13Well, the Jackpot awaits.
31:14$20,000.
31:15Who knows?
31:16Maybe even more.
31:17You ready to give it a go?
31:18Absolutely.
31:18Let's play the Jackpot round then.
31:24All right.
31:24I'm going to ask you in a moment to put it into the machine.
31:26Push it back out.
31:27There's your 20.
31:28Unless you want to try and get it out with one of the doubles, the obvious choice would
31:32be the one that's on top and drop zone one.
31:34I've got the other double to maybe make more money sitting on the lower shelf in drop zone
31:38four.
31:39What do you want to do?
31:40I might.
31:41One.
31:41One.
31:42One.
31:43One.
31:43One.
31:44One.
31:45Because there's more counters on the bottom, I might get a bit of extra money with that
31:48and the double just in case.
31:49I reckon I'm going to go with four.
31:51Okay, then.
31:53I'm going to light it up and let's see if we can get it into a nice position.
31:57Yes.
32:02Okay.
32:03Happy with that.
32:04Main thing is that it's flat.
32:05Yeah.
32:11Okay.
32:11Everything worth 100.
32:16Nothing there yet, but it's all...
32:18Have a look at how thick and low that shadow is.
32:21It's ready to come over.
32:22We need to get a couple of pushes for that to happen, so let's go to the categories, find
32:25out the five that you're going to play today.
32:27Literature, food and drink, sport, sci-fi and political pets.
32:33Pretty happy with most of those.
32:36Sport's probably going to be my weakest, I reckon.
32:37All right.
32:38Now, you can play one, two or three.
32:40Of course, the more you play for, the harder the question will be, but it doesn't seem to
32:42have bothered you today.
32:43No.
32:44I reckon we'll go...
32:45We'll start at the top, so we'll go top to bottom, I reckon.
32:47And are we going to play for how many?
32:48Three.
32:49Three for literature?
32:50Three, thanks, Todd.
32:50Yep.
32:53Okay.
32:54Let's see what we can do here.
32:55Good luck.
32:56First question, Adam.
32:57Published in 2000, what is the title of Canadian journalist Malcolm Gladwell's best-selling
33:03debut book?
33:05Is it The Bank Builder?
33:06Is it The Tipping Point?
33:08Or is it The Jackpot Temptation?
33:10I love the answers.
33:12I've never heard of Malcolm Gladwell, so I'd have no idea.
33:16Okay.
33:16Bit of a shot in the dark.
33:17I'm going to think, though, about money and building money in a bank, having a good bank
33:24account, so I reckon I'll go with The Bank Builder.
33:28Thanks, Todd.
33:29Let's light up The Bank Builder.
33:31Great titles, but have you picked the right one with The Bank Builder?
33:37Oh.
33:38It's The Tipping Point.
33:40Right.
33:40Right where we are at the moment.
33:42Absolutely.
33:42Okay.
33:43That's a shame.
33:44That's all right.
33:44That's all right.
33:45Never mind.
33:45So, if we go back to the categories.
33:47Working our way down.
33:48Food and drink.
33:49I reckon we've got to go for three.
33:50I think so.
33:51It's the only way we...
33:52Need as many counters as you can.
33:53Yep.
33:55A reference to the number of ingredients.
33:58The name of which drink is thought to derive from the Sanskrit word for five.
34:05Punch, mojito, or sangria?
34:08I think punch definitely has more ingredients than five.
34:11And sangria I've never heard of.
34:14So, just because I know mojito is quite a low number, I'm going to go with mojito.
34:19Let's light up mojito.
34:21We're after mojito.
34:26It's punch.
34:27Punch.
34:28Right.
34:28Never mind.
34:29All right.
34:29Okay.
34:30There were two I was hoping that you would be landing on.
34:34Yes, me too.
34:34Because you told me a moment ago, sport's not so good.
34:36Yes.
34:37And as we go back to the categories, that's what's coming up next.
34:41So, we're down to potential nine counters.
34:44And that's what we probably need to get things, you know, moving.
34:48Keep ourself in it.
34:49So, are you playing for three?
34:51Let's go for three.
34:51Come on now.
34:52Here's the one.
34:52We've got to get this.
34:53All right.
34:55What is a common name for a backwards airborne kick in soccer?
35:00Bicycle kick, butterfly kick, or barrel kick?
35:04Now, work your way through this one.
35:06I've heard of bicycle kick and butterfly kick.
35:09I'm pretty sure both of those are related in soccer.
35:13I've never heard of a barrel kick being affiliated with soccer before.
35:16So, I don't think it's barrel kick.
35:18I feel like I've heard bicycle kick more.
35:21So, light up bicycle kick.
35:24I'm going to light up bicycle kick.
35:26So, let's find out if we've got three counters with bicycle kick.
35:32We do it.
35:34Thank goodness.
35:35Is it not that one where they go?
35:37Yeah, I'll play for a minute.
35:38You know?
35:39Yeah.
35:39That way?
35:40Yeah.
35:42We are good.
35:43Yes.
35:43We've got three to play.
35:44Get them on the left.
35:45All right.
35:45And let's get this party started.
35:47That's what we want to do.
35:48We're going to get to Fiji.
35:49So, light up four.
35:51Okay, cool.
35:57Oh.
35:57Oh.
35:59Started left, but spun hard out into that corner.
36:05Good news is we can start building the bank a bit.
36:07There's those big shadows on the tipping point.
36:12Come on now.
36:13Let's deliver some money.
36:20All of those shadows are now in the win zone, and it was seven in total.
36:24So, that'll give you 3,200 in the bank.
36:26Fair enough.
36:28Let's go back there for the second time.
36:30Light her up again, please.
36:37Sit down.
36:39Come on, go a little left.
36:40Light me a little bit.
36:41A little left.
36:42Okay.
36:44Yeah.
36:46And sit down flat.
36:47Don't ride on us.
36:48Come on, go backwards.
36:49Yes.
36:49Yes.
36:50Hopefully, that can clean out that little left bit from drop zone three as well.
36:58Nope.
36:59We'll take it.
36:59We'll take it.
37:00Find you a single.
37:00It's 100 bucks.
37:01It'll give you 3,300 sitting in the bank.
37:04It pushed it about halfway to getting over.
37:07Not quite enough, maybe, to get it down with this next drop, but it'd be good to have it
37:11peering over the edge.
37:12So, light up four again.
37:14Come on, left side.
37:16Come on, left.
37:17Come on, left.
37:18There you go.
37:23Maybe a little bit of a lateral.
37:25No.
37:26No, it's the weight.
37:31Yeah.
37:33Radio.
37:34That's all right.
37:34So, we made some movement.
37:36There's a couple little gaps there that I'm not enamoured with.
37:39No, me neither.
37:39Let's go back.
37:40We've still got six counters up for offer.
37:42And moving on down, sci-fi.
37:44How are you with sci-fi?
37:45I love Star Wars.
37:46Okay.
37:47Big Star Wars fan.
37:47So, if it's a Star Wars question, we'll lock in there.
37:50But don't mind things sci-fi.
37:51So, we'll go for three with that one.
37:53That sounds promising.
37:55Okay, Adam.
37:56Here's the sci-fi question.
37:58Oi.
38:00Which Star Wars villain uses a red lightsaber with a crossguard?
38:05Is it Count Dooku, Darth Maul or Kylo Ren?
38:10Pretty confident about this, Todd.
38:12I'm going to go Kylo Ren.
38:14Let's light up Kylo Ren.
38:16All right.
38:17But just because we're starting to get close and a little sweaty,
38:21let's take a break, hey?
38:22We'll be back in a moment.
38:23We'll find out if we can get to $20,000.
38:25All right.
38:38We'll be back to Tipping Point, everybody.
38:40Adam's got $3,300.
38:42Things are going okay.
38:43We've got, hopefully, another three counters.
38:45You've got the luggage, but you want to get that trip to Fiji.
38:48Yes.
38:49Let's find out whether you've got the Star Wars question correct or not.
38:52Which Star Wars villain uses a red lightsaber with a crossguard?
38:55You said light up Kylo Ren.
38:57Pretty confident, he says.
39:01Got it.
39:02Yay!
39:04All right.
39:05We need a little bit of luck.
39:06We need everything to steer left and see what happens with those sort of two gaps.
39:10There's one to the right and one a little bit behind.
39:12And see if we can get it on the bottom shelf here.
39:14All right.
39:14Come on, Adam.
39:15Up to you in here now.
39:26That came down very fast.
39:27Didn't it?
39:28And then it just did a bit of a gymnastics jump right on top.
39:31All right.
39:32Okay.
39:32So we can't afford to not get something out of these next two.
39:35Let's work on that timing.
39:36Yep.
39:37Let's light her again.
39:46Come on, Adam.
39:51This is going to get a little more money, though.
39:53Yeah.
39:56Just another two, but plenty ready to come on over.
39:59But it'll give you three and a half thousand.
40:01Happy with that.
40:01Yeah, good.
40:02But we need to make this counter really do some good hard work for us.
40:06So, load her up.
40:08All right.
40:15Our left.
40:15Not machines left.
40:18All right.
40:19Oh.
40:20This is going to be a good bit of money, though.
40:23Oh.
40:25I wish that double.
40:26That would have been good.
40:27That would have been very good.
40:28If that double had have come.
40:29That would have increased a lot because it was eight over the tipping point as it was.
40:33So, another $800.
40:35It's going to give you $4,300.
40:36And now we go back and try and find these last three counters.
40:41On the categories board, the final category is political pets.
40:47I probably don't know much, but if you want to get it down, we have to go to three.
40:51You've got to have a chance.
40:51We don't know anyway.
40:53Yeah.
40:53One out of three.
40:54Multiple choice gives you a bit of a chance, at least, Adam.
40:57Serving as the ring bearer at his 2025 wedding, was Anthony Albanese's pet dog named what?
41:05Toto, Lassie, or Scooby?
41:08I don't think Toto or Scooby.
41:11I don't know.
41:12I feel like he probably wouldn't name them after movie characters.
41:15He might.
41:16But I know that Lassie was quite a famous dog, so we'll go with Lassie.
41:23Light her up.
41:25Anthony Albanese's pet dog.
41:27Is it named Lassie?
41:31Oh.
41:33We need to go to Kansas.
41:35Is Toto not what we were hoping for?
41:38Not what we were hoping for, no.
41:39But what you were hoping for was to come here and try and earn yourself some money.
41:43Yes.
41:43And you have done that with $4,300.
41:49So, I would love you to get a little bit more.
41:52I'd love you to fill up your luggage that you've already got with some extra cash.
41:55Yes.
41:56So let's play Jackpot Temptation.
42:02All right.
42:03All right.
42:03What are you thinking?
42:04Because you know if you're going to play Temptation, you're going to have to give up that $4,300.
42:08We didn't get as many counters in as what we were hoping for.
42:11So, let me just give you something special here.
42:15I've got to give you five, haven't I?
42:17I think so, yep.
42:18Righto.
42:19So let's do that.
42:20Let's increase the value of the Jackpot Counter to $40,000.
42:26And I can't get you to Fiji, but I can get you another holiday.
42:31I wonder if I could tempt you with an all-inclusive holiday for two to Vanuatu.
42:34Oh.
42:35Including return flights and seven nights at the Irariki Island Resort.
42:39It's valued at over $8,000 thanks to the holiday package pros at Travel Online.
42:44Now, while you put the wonder twin powers to kind of activate together with Daniel, we're going to the newsroom.
42:56Before we went to the newsroom, Adam, put the offer on the table of five counters for $40,000 plus
43:02a trip to Vanuatu.
43:04And the whole time here, you've just been staring at the machine.
43:07What have you been thinking about?
43:09Try and manifest that to move a little bit closer.
43:11What should he do?
43:13Play.
43:13Play.
43:16I think he should take it.
43:18What are you saying, Daniel?
43:20He's got a substantial amount of money.
43:21It's still on the top shelf.
43:22So if I was him, I'd take the money.
43:24OK.
43:25Look, I haven't had too much luck with it moving to the left.
43:29And I don't want to risk going home with that money and the suitcase.
43:3521, aren't you?
43:36I am.
43:37Yes.
43:37So that's great.
43:39So I reckon we'll take the money, Todd.
43:41You're going to take the money?
43:42I get the feeling that I can't change either of your minds.
43:47So I must say, it's been a lot of fun.
43:50Thank you so much.
43:50Even if I was taken for a ride earlier today.
43:53It's been a pleasure meeting you.
43:54Well done, Adam.
43:55Congratulations.
43:56$4,300.
43:57And of course, our Victorinox luggage valued at $1,500.
44:01A very good day's work.
44:02Lovely to meet you all.
44:04See you later, Todd.
44:05Great having you on the show as well.
44:06Thanks to all of our audience.
44:08And to you at home.
44:09Join us next time when three new contestants light up their luck on Timming Point.
44:12Good night.
44:22Let's go for it.
44:25Bye-bye.
