00:00Our machine shells are stacked with counters, and these three people are poised to take the plunge.
00:05Will someone score our $20,000 jackpot? I'm Todd Woodbridge, let's find out on Tipping Point.
00:30Welcome to Tipping Point, where these three contestants are ready to take on the machine, so let's meet them.
00:34Hi, I'm Madeline, I'm an art teacher from Point Cook, and if I win the money today, I will hire
00:39a private chef.
00:42Hi, my name's Kath, I'm a recruitment consultant from Sydney.
00:46I enjoy camping, and often compare myself to Bear Grylls, although all my mates would argue I'm more like Russell
00:52Coy.
00:54Hi, I'm Jim from Ferntree Gully, and I run a small catering business called Suvaman.
00:59Nice, Jim. Welcome everybody.
01:02So Jim, I've got a question for you.
01:05Sure, Todd.
01:06Should chips go in souvlaki?
01:09Definitely not.
01:10I heard in, like, Greece they do.
01:12No way, chips are a sight.
01:14Alright, I now know. Good luck to you, Jim.
01:17Kath, where do we go camping and the like?
01:19Typically around Sydney, or not too far from Sydney.
01:22That accent ain't from Sydney.
01:24No, it's definitely not from Sydney. I'm originally from Essex.
01:27How long have you been out here?
01:2820 years next week.
01:30Oh, you're a local.
01:31Particularly if you're being called Russell Coy.
01:33Good luck, Madeline.
01:34A private chef.
01:36That's a big item to put on the ticket list.
01:38It is, but who wouldn't want a meal cooked for them in their home?
01:41Absolutely.
01:42Well, you're going to need to play well if that's going to happen, Madeline.
01:45Are you three ready to get going?
01:46Let's do it.
01:47Let's play round one, Bank Builder.
01:54Alright, in Bank Builder, it's your chance to build some serious cash, because every counter that you can push over
01:59that tipping point, $100 gets added into your bank.
02:02And in the round, you'll each start with three counters, and if you buzz in and answer correctly, you can
02:07choose to play one of your counters into the machine, or you could ask one of your opponents to play
02:11one of theirs instead.
02:12If you answer incorrectly, or don't answer within three seconds, I do have to take a counter away from you.
02:18Now, in the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
02:20Push those over, and you'll double the value of that drop, and you'll see the two mystery counters there as
02:25well.
02:26Push those over.
02:26I can guarantee you, you'll be walking away with a nice prize.
02:29Hands on buzzers, please.
02:31And here comes the first question.
02:39Madeline.
02:40Play school.
02:41It is play school.
02:42Yes.
02:45Are you going to play first though, Madeline?
02:47I would like to play yes.
02:48Where are we going?
02:50Let's go number four, please.
02:52Light it up.
02:52Drop zone four.
02:53First drop of the day.
03:00Whoa.
03:01Looks good.
03:04It's moving a little left into the gap.
03:06Oh.
03:08All good.
03:09It's pinned by that one behind.
03:11One gone.
03:13As we move on to our second question.
03:15What is the official language of the European country, Hungary?
03:19Jim.
03:19Hungarian.
03:20That's correct.
03:21Well done.
03:23What are you thinking of doing, Jim?
03:26I'm going to play Todd.
03:27We'll light up drop zone two.
03:30Light up two for Jim.
03:39Good timing with the drop, Jim.
03:41Nice and flat.
03:44Oh.
03:45Oh.
03:46Oh.
03:47The machine's just not warmed up at this point, it would seem.
03:50No, it's not.
03:51Not to worry.
03:52Okay, two in and none have come out.
03:54Here comes the next question.
03:55An iconic advertising slogan for which Australian sliced bread brand begins with the line,
04:01Good on ya mum.
04:03Jim.
04:04Tip top.
04:05That's right.
04:05Tip top's the one, isn't it?
04:06Tip top's the one.
04:07Yes.
04:09Are you going to go again?
04:10I am, Todd, and let's stick with drop zone two.
04:15Light it up.
04:20Oh.
04:21Oh.
04:22Oh, I thought it was going to ride.
04:24It's not riding, but there is a little gap between the black and silver.
04:28Oh, nice.
04:30Well done.
04:30Things are moving.
04:31Go on, Jim.
04:32Go on, Jim.
04:34Oh, well, better than none.
04:36It is better than none.
04:37Two in, one out.
04:38So the first money of the day gets paid to Jim.
04:40A hundred dollars goes up and into the machine.
04:42Into your podium.
04:44That's your bank.
04:44Good job.
04:47And Jim, you've got one counter left.
04:49Madeline's got two.
04:50Kath still has all three.
04:51Here's the next question.
04:53The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup is typically held once every how many years?
04:58Kath.
05:00Four years.
05:01Oh, you got it.
05:01Well done.
05:02Well done.
05:05You weren't convinced totally though.
05:08Complete guess.
05:10I'll go drop zone two please, Todd.
05:12Light up two.
05:19Boy, smashes down.
05:21Nice work.
05:23It'll push itself over to the right.
05:25Knocks up, knock.
05:26Yes.
05:27Oh, good drop.
05:29Oh.
05:29Okay.
05:30Yeah.
05:33Unbelievable.
05:37I like that little bit of my mouth.
05:39I don't know where that came from.
05:40Eight over the tipping point.
05:42What a great start for you.
05:44Eight hundred.
05:45Put that into your bank and you've got a seven counter lead over Kim.
05:50All right, moving on to our next question.
05:53Which singer and actress is nicknamed the Divine Miss M?
05:57Madeline?
05:59Can I say Madonna?
06:01You can say it, but it's Bette Midler.
06:04Oh, sorry.
06:05Never mind.
06:06I'm going to take that counter away from you.
06:08So you've got one left.
06:09Jim's got one left and Kath has two.
06:12Next question.
06:14A breed name for a region in Scotland, what farm animal is the horn shaggy coated Highland?
06:20Okay.
06:21Cow?
06:21Yeah, it's a cow.
06:23It's a cow.
06:24It's a cow.
06:25They're massive, aren't they?
06:27Huge.
06:27Big horns.
06:28Yes.
06:29Right.
06:29What do you want to do this time?
06:30I'd like to try drop zone four, please.
06:33Okay.
06:33Over to four.
06:34We've played two and four.
06:35One and three.
06:36Still untouched.
06:42That's okay.
06:43That's lined up nicely, I think.
06:45Push, push, push.
06:46There it goes.
06:47Oh, how good.
06:49That'll separate and push wide.
06:54Another three.
06:55Another 300 goes up and out of our machine.
06:58And when it goes into Kath's bank, you'll have $1,100.
07:02Well done.
07:06All right.
07:07Everybody's got a single counter.
07:08Here comes the next question.
07:11Point Piper is a harbourside suburb in which major Australian city?
07:15Alan?
07:16Sydney.
07:17Sydney.
07:18That's right.
07:22Let's go drop zone three.
07:25Let's do it for you.
07:26Come on, good luck.
07:26First time we've been in that drop zone.
07:36That's okay, I think, Madeline.
07:38I think so too.
07:39Let's hope.
07:41Down it goes.
07:44Give me.
07:45Yay!
07:47Oh God.
07:48Yes, I got something.
07:50How's this one not come over?
07:52It's got two bits, just pinning it down.
07:55So in the end, it's a grand total of two for you, Madeline.
07:58$200 coming your way.
07:59Perfect.
08:00Thanks.
08:00Let's get it into the bank.
08:01And that gives you a one-counter lead over Jim.
08:06And nine behind Kath.
08:09But Madeline, you're out of counters.
08:10So you need to sit back, relax, see what happens with the final two questions.
08:13Second and last question of the round is this.
08:16What basic cooking ingredient is sold in an unrefined form known as muscovado?
08:22Jim?
08:24Grapes?
08:26No, it's sugar.
08:29Could have accepted sucrose, but not grapes, unfortunately.
08:34So Jim, I've got to take that counter away from you.
08:37At the end of your round, you've got $100 sitting in the bank.
08:40And Kath, all the focus is on you.
08:42No need to buzz in, but you do need to give me an answer within three seconds,
08:45and this is the last question of the round.
08:48Sure.
08:49Established by a former competitor, British brand Lonsdale
08:53is most famous for making equipment for which sport?
08:56Tennis?
08:58Boxing.
09:01There we have it.
09:02Got to take that one away from you too, Kath.
09:04Never mind.
09:05But you're in good shape because at the end of our bank builder round,
09:07Madeline's got $200, Kath's got $1,100,
09:10and Jim has $100.
09:12So, quickfire is going to be important for everyone,
09:14and that's coming up next, right here on Tipping Point.
09:30Welcome back everyone to Tipping Point.
09:31We've got Madeline who's an art teacher,
09:33and Kath, she's AKA Russell Coit,
09:35and Jim's the Superman.
09:38All of them are trying to play for our jackpot worth $20,000.
09:41So, let's keep moving things along, and we're going to play quickfire.
09:48And in quickfire, you each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
09:53For every correct answer, you'll get that counter to play in the machine,
09:56but the contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round,
09:59we say bye-bye to.
10:00Alright, now Kath, you're in the lead.
10:021,100.
10:03Do you want to play first here?
10:05I think I'd like to play first, please, Todd.
10:07Let's do it then.
10:08Alright, Kath, good luck.
10:09Good luck, Kath.
10:10Good luck.
10:1130 seconds is going on the clock, Kath.

10:54And the AKA Russell Goy is looking pretty happy with herself.
10:58You've got so many, I've got to get it started.
11:00Where's the first one going?
11:01I think drop zone three, please, Todd.
11:04Listen to the audience.
11:06Light it up.
11:13Oh.
11:14It's flat.
11:15That's good.
11:15It's a good drop.
11:16There we go.
11:18Go on.
11:19Go on.
11:22Go on.
11:22Yay.
11:22Yay.
11:24Three more we can add to your total.
11:25So I'll put 300 in.
11:27I'm not going to give it to you yet because you've still got three more counters left to
11:30play.
11:30Where next?
11:31I'm thinking three again.
11:33Drop zone three, please.
11:34Light it up again.
11:37Hopefully on the right.
11:42Oh.
11:44Came with a thud.
11:48Yeah.
11:49Nice and gently.
11:50It sits itself down.
11:53Not really right.
11:55Center left, we call that.
11:56Yeah.
11:57Here we go.
11:59Go on.
11:59Push, push, push.
12:01Wow.
12:04We've got no hope, Tim.
12:07Too good.
12:08She's cleaning up a bit at the moment, Jim.
12:09Yeah.
12:10That's another half a dozen.
12:11So 600 goes up in there.
12:13Now you've got 900 in the bank.
12:14And you still have two more left to go.
12:17I think we'll go drop zone two, please.
12:19Okay.
12:19Let's go to two.
12:25Whoa.
12:27Geez.
12:30That'll do damage to our machine.
12:33Sounds like it's going to break it.
12:34Mystery's down.
12:35Flip.
12:36Flip.
12:37Push, push, push.
12:38Ooh.
12:40Okay.
12:40Last one to go in.
12:42Um.
12:42We'll go drop zone two again, please.
12:44Okay.
12:45Two it is.
12:50Okay.
12:51Ooh.
12:52I don't know if it sits flat.
12:53If it goes flat.
12:56It does.
12:57So.
12:58Nice.
12:59Might split them, perhaps.
13:00You've got a couple at the front.
13:01If they come over and then.
13:03Go on.
13:04Yeah.
13:04Now they split.
13:05Flip, flip, flip.
13:07Flip.
13:08Go on.
13:09Oh.
13:11Oh.
13:12Never mind.
13:13No, never mind.
13:14Because you've still done well, Kath.
13:15I'm going to take $900 out of the machine and put it into your bank.
13:18And you're going to have.
13:19Amazing.
13:20$2,000.
13:22You can sit back and see who chases you down.
13:26Because Madeline, you've got $200 in the bank.
13:28That means that you're next.
13:30Okay.
13:30Currently 18 behind.
13:33You ready to have a go at it?
13:34Let's do it.
13:34Good luck.
13:3530 seconds goes on the clock for you.
13:37Thank you, thank you.
13:37Good luck.
13:38Go.

14:12Well done.
14:13You've got yourself a three.
14:15You were on a roll.
14:16I was.
14:18Sorry.
14:18I didn't know.
14:19I know what a serve is.
14:20I just want to put that out there.
14:22I'm true sorry I do.
14:23That's alright.
14:24I'm not offended.
14:25Don't worry.
14:27Three to put in there.
14:28So you can maybe close the gap.
14:30Yep.
14:30Where would you like to start?
14:31I think I need to go drop zone four.
14:34Let's go for the double.
14:35Oh, okay.
14:43Spun into the right area.
14:45Yep.
14:47Be nice to me machine.
14:50Oh, yes.
14:52Oh.
14:52Go on.
14:53Yes.
14:54Yay.
14:55Better than nothing.
14:57It's a single.
14:58It's a single.
14:58So it's a hundred goes up.
15:00Yep.
15:00And you've got two more to put in.
15:02Yep.
15:03Where's the next one going?
15:04No, I'm going to stick with number four please.
15:06Back to four.
15:07Yep.
15:07Okay.
15:07Light it up.
15:11There's a couple of gaps at the front right where you got away with it though.
15:16This is almost in between three and four now.
15:18Yeah.
15:19Good work in my favour.
15:23Oh, come on, come on.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:27Yes.
15:29Closing this gap.
15:30Half a dozen.
15:31So that gives you 600.
15:33That'll give you a total of 700 in the machine.
15:36And one more here.
15:37Okay.
15:38Eight.
15:38I'm going to stick with number four.
15:41Okay.
15:42Light up four.
15:47Oh.
15:49That went down really fast.
15:50It did.
15:52Wasn't expecting that.
15:53Back into the corner.
15:55All right.
15:55Let's go.
15:56Let's go, machine.
15:57Oh.
15:58No.
15:59Okay.
15:59No money coming out of that.
16:01So let's take $700 and move it from our machine into your bank.
16:04And that will give you 900, Natalie.
16:09It's not looking good, Todd.
16:11Oh, I don't know.
16:12There's plenty over.
16:13You can do it, Jim.
16:14You can do it.
16:15All right.
16:15You got this.
16:16You're eight behind Madeline at the moment.
16:19She's your first target.
16:20Then Kath becomes the second.
16:22All right.
16:23Yeah.
16:23That's how we'd think in the world of sport.
16:24One at a time, hey?
16:25One at a time.
16:26Come on.
16:26One at a time.
16:27So you've got 30 seconds.
16:29You need as many counters as you possibly can.
16:31Good luck.
16:32Your time starts now.

16:49In an Olympic individual archery match, shooting an arrow into the centre ring is worth what

16:5550.

16:56What turn for glasses is commonly abbreviated to specs?
17:01Spectacles.
17:02Correct.
17:03In 1998, Matt Damon won an Oscar for co-writing this film.
17:06Good Will Hunting it was.
17:09Go, Jim.
17:10Good job.
17:12Two shots at it.
17:13Yeah.
17:13So, you've been standing there.
17:15You've had a good chance to study the board.
17:17Where can you find eight?
17:19All or nothing, we're going to go drop zone two, Todd.
17:22Good luck.
17:23Come on, Jim.
17:23Light it up.
17:27Needs to go on the left-hand side, Jim.
17:29Yeah.
17:31That's pretty good.
17:32It's alright.
17:33That's as...
17:35It's...
17:35Come on, baby.
17:36Yeah.
17:37Come on.
17:39Get something over.
17:41Yay!
17:44That's a start.
17:45That's five.
17:45Okay.
17:46Five hundred bucks goes into the machine.
17:48Yep.
17:49You are now three from tying.
17:52Four gets you through.
17:53You know what?
17:53We're going to go two and we're going to hope for the right-hand side, I reckon.
17:57Okay.
17:58Good luck.
17:58Light it up.
17:59Go.
17:59Good luck, Jim.
18:06Oh, it stayed flat.
18:08It's going to nudge to the right, I think.
18:10Go something over at least.
18:12Get over.
18:12Get over.
18:13Get over.
18:15Oh, it's not going to do it.
18:16It's not going to do it.
18:19100.
18:20Oh, sorry.
18:21Good job.
18:23Is it a bird?
18:24Is it a play?
18:25No, it's Superman.
18:30Half a dozen.
18:31You need a tree.
18:32So $600 goes up.
18:33It's going to give you a total of $1,100.
18:36Yeah.
18:37And you got yourself back in the game.
18:39Oh.
18:40So that means at the end of our quickfire round, Jim's got $1,200.
18:44Kath with the lead at $2,000.
18:46And Madeline, unfortunately in the end, we've found your tipping point.
18:49That's okay.
18:54I hope you've had a great day.
18:56We loved having you on.
18:57Yeah.
18:57But after the break, Kath and Jim are going to find it out.
19:00Kath's had a good lead.
19:01Can she hang on to it?
19:02You better stick around to find out.
19:04$20,000 is on the line here on tipping point.
19:19Welcome back.
19:19We've got Kath and Jim about to go head to head.
19:23One of you is going to go onto play for $20,000 today.
19:25Before we get to that though, Kath, 20 years you've been here.
19:29That's right, yeah.
19:30Are you a citizen yet?
19:31I am indeed, yeah.
19:32How did that all go?
19:34It was going really well until my citizenship ceremony
19:39and I thought I knew the words to the Australian National Anthem.
19:42What happened?
19:43What did you get wrong?
19:44I sang Advanced Australia Square.
19:49My partner would give me an elbow, but I just carried on at a ball.
19:54Well, your partner's Dee.
19:56She was too scared to come down and join us here today,
19:59but you have brought one of your best mates, Alana along.
20:01Welcome, Alana.
20:04Now, to be fair, with her accent you wouldn't know whether it was fair or square anyway,
20:08would you?
20:09True, true.
20:10We have the video, singing it with gusto, completely wrong.
20:13Fantastic.
20:14She's a good sport though and going along nicely today.
20:17Yep.
20:17Any more advice for her?
20:18Just keep doing what you're doing.
20:19Doing what you're doing and you're doing it well.
20:21Thank you, Alana.
20:22If you were able to hang on to this lead, what do you want to do with the money, Kath?
20:25My partner and I have never been over to WA.
20:28So, a camper van and travel up the coast of the WA.
20:31The west coast.
20:32Yeah.
20:33Well, it is beautiful.
20:34But there's work to do.
20:35There is.
20:36Because Jim wants to chase you down.
20:37But Jim, you've been on TV before.
20:39You've starred before, haven't you?
20:40Well, not quite on TV.
20:42I was a butcher in a Coles advertisement.
20:45Ah!
20:46So, I kept the cardboard cutout.
20:48Oh, you were a cardboard cutout as well?
20:50Yeah.
20:50I bring it out at every gathering or party at home, just to remind people of my modelling
20:55past.
20:56And what do the family say about it?
20:58Because you've got Angela, your sister here, your son Ryan.
21:00Hi guys.
21:01Hello.
21:02Ryan, how long has he had that piece?
21:05Oh, jeez.
21:06You haven't drawn a moustache on it or anything yet?
21:08No, no.
21:08That is sacred.
21:09We can't tell you.
21:11It gets locked in a safe and only comes out when I let it out.
21:14Special occasions.
21:15Alright, we know what Cass is going to do if she gets some dollars.
21:17What would you do?
21:18It would be nice to take the kids to Greece to see the island of Samos where my dad was
21:23from.
21:23Okay, that sounds good.
21:24You're going to have to pick up the pace because you're eight behind at the moment.
21:28Okay.
21:28So let's get the game going once again.
21:30You two are going to play head to head.
21:37And in the head to head round, you will each be asked two questions.
21:40If you get your question right, you get the counter to play in the machine.
21:43If you don't, your opponent steals that counter.
21:45If you're unsure of your answer, you may pass it to your opponent.
21:49See if they can get it correct.
21:50Now, Kath, as you're in the lead, you'll have the opening question.
21:53Here it is.
21:55This continued in 2016.
21:57What was the name of an iconic Australian range of frozen flavoured tetrahedral treats?
22:05Pass or play?
22:07I don't know the answer.
22:08I'm going to have to pass, Todd.
22:09Okay.
22:10Jim?
22:11Uh, Sunny Boy.
22:14I don't know.
22:15Frozen Sunny Boy.
22:17Do you know what a Sunny Boy is, Kat?
22:20Never heard of it in my life.
22:21I don't think.
22:21No, I'm getting from Essex.
22:22No.
22:24Is it Sunny Boy?
22:31Well done.
22:33You're at a little bit of a disadvantage there, Kath, because Jim, you grew up in a milk bar.
22:37Yes, I did.
22:38Did you sell them at the milk bar?
22:39I was the most popular kid at school because everyone wanted to come over for a sleepover.
22:45To go raid the ice cream fridge.
22:47Okay, you're eight behind.
22:48Where can you find some more to close this gap on, Kath?
22:51We're going to have to go one, I think, to start off.
22:53Light up job zone one.
22:55It is the first time we've been there.
23:00Stay flat.
23:02Oh.
23:04It's going to tease you a little here.
23:05Yeah.
23:06Yeah.
23:06There is a fair bit of room there, though, at the moment.
23:08That's going to be fried.
23:09All right.
23:10It's going to split them.
23:11Yeah, it's going to sit in that little crevice there.
23:14Could still bring them over.
23:15Could bring them over.
23:16Oh, well done.
23:18Drop down, drop down.
23:19Oh, it's fresh.
23:19Oh, it's fresh.
23:20Mystery.
23:21Oh.
23:22It's close.
23:23The mystery was nearly there.
23:24You've halved the gap of eight to four, because four came over.
23:28$400.
23:29It'll go up.
23:30We'll transfer it into your bank, and you'll have $1,600.
23:35Okay, Jim.
23:37This next question's yours.
23:38Yep.
23:40Which team defeated the Kansas City Chiefs to win the 2025 Super Bowl?
23:47Pass or play?
23:47Oh.
23:49I wish I followed it more closely.
23:51Um, I'm going to have to pass.
23:53Sorry.
23:55All right, Kath.
23:57Do you follow, uh, American football?
23:59No.
24:01Ooh.
24:02I'm only thinking of one.
24:05The Patriots?
24:06Patriots.
24:08What do you reckon, Jim?
24:09Maybe.
24:10Let's find out.
24:11Maybe.
24:12Is it the Patriots?
24:15Oh.
24:16Oh.
24:16Not a bad stab.
24:18It was the Philadelphia Eagles.
24:19Ah.
24:20All right.
24:20Jim, you're back in it again.
24:22Yeah.
24:23What next?
24:24Let's go the one again.
24:26Todd Blot up top zone.
24:27One.
24:27Let's do it.
24:35Oh.
24:36Nice mystery counter in play, too.
24:37Don't know if they're going to come off the top, though.
24:39Something off the top.
24:41Oh, nice.
24:41Go flat.
24:42Get the mystery, at least.
24:43Give me the mystery.
24:44Three.
24:45Oh, well done.
24:49Oh.
24:51That's three.
24:52Three hundred dollars is going into the machine.
24:55Let it come on out, Jim.
24:57You're going to have one thousand nine hundred dollars.
24:59You're only one behind.
25:01And we're going to the break.
25:03Who's going to go through?
25:04You're going to have to stay with us,
25:05because this is as tired as it can be here on Tipping Point.
25:21We've got Russell Coyck taking on the Superman here today.
25:26And it is tight.
25:27All right.
25:28Kath and Jim, only one counter separating you two.
25:31This is going to be a great battle, these final two questions.
25:34The next is yours, Kath.
25:36Sure.
25:37Pop.
25:38Six.
25:39Squish.
25:40Ooh.
25:41Ah.
25:41Cicero.
25:42Lipschitz.
25:43Are lyrics from which Broadway musical?
25:50Can you repeat it?
25:51Oh, really?
25:52Yes.
25:53Pop.
25:54Six.
25:54Squish.
25:55Ooh.
25:56Ah.
25:56Cicero.
25:57Lipschitz.
25:57Are all lyrics from which Broadway musical?
26:00Pass or play?
26:01I'll have to pass.
26:03Mm-hmm.
26:07Can you repeat it one more time?
26:11I just want to hear you say the last word again.
26:16Pop.
26:16Six.
26:17Squish.
26:17Ooh.
26:18Ah.
26:18Cicero.
26:19Lipschitz.
26:21Lipschitz.
26:21Lipschitz.
26:21Lipschitz.
26:21Are lyrics from which Broadway musical, Jim?
26:25Oh.
26:26I'm going to take a guess and say, um, oh, is there something called hairspray?
26:34No, it's not hairspray.
26:35Go hairspray.
26:36It's wrong, but that's all.
26:37You don't need a lot of that.
26:38Yeah.
26:42That's a good one, Todd.
26:44Ooh.
26:45Brutal.
26:45Brutal.
26:46Yeah.
26:46That's because you made me do it two extra times.
26:49Yeah.
26:50I apologise, but I'm going to find out if it's hairspray.
26:55No.
26:57It's actually Chicago.
26:59So, Kath, it is yours.
27:02Yes.
27:02Where do you want to play the counter?
27:05Drop zone four, please, Todd.
27:07Light up.
27:07Drop zone four, please.
27:15Ooh.
27:18Yeah, that's a good spot.
27:19Ooh, it's pinned.
27:20Oh, no way.
27:23Wow.
27:24All right.
27:25It's not coming down, so there's nothing to put into the bank for you, Kath.
27:28And you remain one counter ahead.
27:31Ooh.
27:32We have one question left, Jim.
27:34Yep.
27:34You're going to need it to get that counter.
27:37Yep.
27:39All UN members, which three European countries have common names beginning with the letter I?
27:46I.
27:47I'm going to have to play.
27:49Yeah.
27:51And I'm going to start with Italy.
27:55One.
27:56I'm going to go Ireland.
28:00That's two.
28:01Need one more, eh?
28:05One more.
28:07I.
28:08European country.
28:09I.
28:11Iceland.
28:12Ooh.
28:15All right.
28:16Is it Italy, Ireland, and Iceland?
28:26Yeah!
28:29Wow.
28:34Well, you've done the hardest part.
28:37Now, it comes down to a bit of luck and making the right decision on what drop zone.
28:44One ties you with Kath.
28:46Two puts you through to the jackpot round.
28:48Yeah.
28:49We're going to go four.
28:51Okay.
28:52He's limbering up as we light up drop zone four.
29:02Come on.
29:04Get it over.
29:06Get it over.
29:08Get something.
29:10What do we need?
29:10One or two?
29:11One, two.
29:12Two.
29:15Oh, man.
29:17I'm so sorry.
29:19You have been so wrapped up.
29:20You got the two.
29:22Well played, Jim.
29:23Let's move the money.
29:24200 goes into our machine.
29:26And we'll put it into your bank and you'll have yourself $2,100.
29:32And so, at the end of an epic head-to-head, Jim, with $2,100, you're safe.
29:40And Kath, one counter behind, which means, unfortunately, we've found your tipping point.
29:45Thanks, Todd.
29:47It's been awesome having you on.
29:49You played a fantastic game.
29:51Good luck in getting over to Western Australia.
29:53At some point, I know you're going to.
29:54Absolutely.
29:54And you will love it.
29:56Hey, Jim.
29:57Didn't look likely.
29:59Oh, mate.
29:59That was like coming back from 10 goals down at three-quarter time.
30:03Well, you still got the chance to play for this.
30:06The jackpot counter.
30:07$20,000 it's worth.
30:09So, stick around, everybody.
30:10See if Jim can go home with the big butts right here on Tipping Point.
30:26Welcome back, everybody.
30:27It's been a ripper of a game because that was so close.
30:30Jim, $2,100 sitting in the bank.
30:33Nice tally.
30:34Before we start to build the bank a bit more, though, we've talked about the Suvaman.
30:38What makes the best Suvlaki?
30:40Oh, alright.
30:41Well, what makes the best of larki is the quality of the meat.
30:44Yep.
30:44Our secret marinade.
30:46Okay.
30:46Cooked over charcoal.
30:48The right amount of tzatziki.
30:49And made with a whole lot of love.
30:51Right.
30:52Beautiful.
30:53And what's the business name?
30:54So, the business is called Suvaman Catering.
30:57Yeah.
30:57So, we do private functions, birthday parties, weddings.
31:01Tipping point, specials.
31:03Yeah.
31:03You name it.
31:04Hey, Ryan, are you in the family business as well?
31:06I am indeed, yes.
31:07He had to work in the milk bar.
31:09You've got to work in this.
31:10Exactly.
31:11What business are you starting after?
31:12I might keep it going.
31:13Keep it going.
31:14Good.
31:15Hey, you ready to keep going?
31:16I'm ready, Todd.
31:17Let's do it.
31:17Good luck, Jim.
31:18Let's play the jackpot round.
31:24So, Jim, time to put the jackpot into the machine.
31:27Yep.
31:27Push it back out.
31:28There's your 20 grand chance to get the family over to where your dad came from.
31:32Yep.
31:33Yep.
31:33Now, what have you thought about where it's going to go?
31:35I'm here to try and win as big as I can, Todd.
31:37So, I'm going to go drop zone four with the double on the top.
31:41I like your way of thinking.
31:43All right, then.
31:44Let's get this jackpot round started.
31:47I'm going to light up drop zone four.
31:53Oh, don't ride, don't ride.
31:55Is it riding?
31:56No, no.
31:57It's flat, it's flat.
31:58All right.
31:58Flat, flat.
31:59Get next to the double as well.
32:01Bring something over.
32:03That's going to get you some money.
32:04Every counter worth a hundred.
32:05Yep.
32:05Okay.
32:07All right.
32:08That's a good start.
32:09That starts ticking the meter over nicely.
32:12Yep.
32:12An extra five.
32:13So, that'll get you to $2,600.
32:15Yep.
32:15We'll put that into the machine as we head to find out what five categories that you're
32:20playing.
32:22You're going to play nature, sport, music, politics and beer.
32:27Now, you can play one, two or three counters.
32:30Yeah.
32:30The more that you play for, the harder the question's going to be.
32:33Where do you want to start and how many are you going to play for?
32:35We're going to go top to bottom and we're going to go three all the way.
32:38Let's do it.
32:39Top to bottom, three all the way.
32:41So, first up is nature.
32:44Come on.
32:48Jim, also known as white tansy and goose tongue is a flowering plant with what common
32:55name?
32:56Wolfsbane, sneeze wart or pigweed?
33:01Uh, all right.
33:04I don't think it's pigweed.
33:06I don't think it's sneeze wart.
33:08We're going to go wolfsbane.
33:09Lock it in.
33:09Light up wolfsbane.
33:12Have we got three early counters to play?
33:20Sneeze wart.
33:21Wow.
33:21Yeah.
33:22Okay.
33:23Anyways, you won't forget that.
33:25No.
33:25Never mind.
33:26Okay.
33:26We've still got four categories left to go.
33:28Yeah.
33:29Moving on down, sports next.
33:31We are put at three because that's what you've told me to do.
33:35Sports at three.
33:37All right, Jim.
33:39George Gregan represented Australia at four World Cups.
33:44In which sport?
33:45Was it soccer, rugby union or rugby league?
33:50I don't think it's soccer.
33:53I don't think it's rugby league.
33:57Rugby union sounds familiar.
33:59Uh, rugby union.
34:03Should I light up rugby union?
34:04Yep.
34:04Light it up.
34:05Okay.
34:05I'm going to light up rugby union.
34:06He's famous in the northern states.
34:08That's for sure, George Gregan.
34:10But was he famous for rugby union?
34:15Sure was.
34:16Well done.
34:18Right.
34:19Let's get this punch out.
34:20We've already started.
34:21Okay.
34:22We're going to light up drop zone four.
34:23Definitely.
34:23We need things to be spinning to the left.
34:26Light it up.
34:27Yep.
34:33Oh.
34:36All right.
34:37So that slammed down.
34:39That's nasty.
34:40All right.
34:40I think we're going to look at timing because the way that that came and bounced.
34:43Yeah.
34:44That's going to make it a little bit tougher to move.
34:46That's all right.
34:46We've got time and we've got counters.
34:47Let's put the second in.
34:48Light it up.
34:56Ah, it's riding again, isn't it?
34:58It's riding again.
35:00So I want you to...
35:00Ah, I've got the timing right off, haven't I?
35:02Yep.
35:02All right.
35:02I think you've got a couple wrong.
35:03You've got two that have just bounced and jumped.
35:05Yeah.
35:06So you have to think about that.
35:07Here's the third one.
35:08So I've got to...
35:09I'm going to light it up again.
35:10Here we go.
35:11Light it up.
35:17They're all coming down so quick.
35:19Just go flat.
35:20They are coming fast, aren't they?
35:22They're coming really fast.
35:23Is it flat, though?
35:23I think it is.
35:24It is flat, yep.
35:25All right.
35:25So nudge it over.
35:27Oh.
35:28It's going to take it into drop zone.
35:30It's sort of spinning it into the middle of three and four.
35:33Yeah.
35:34Okay.
35:35Back to our board here.
35:36Music's next.
35:38Three is what we're playing for all the way, said Jim.
35:41Yep.
35:42I feel like you'd be good with a bit of music, although not Chicago and Broadway stuff.
35:46Nah.
35:47It all depends how far back we go.
35:49What's the era we're looking at?
35:5170s, 80s, I reckon.
35:52Okay.
35:52Something about ACDC.
35:54Okay.
35:55We put the request in.
35:56Let's have a look what's coming your way.
36:00What is the subtitle of Peter Jackson's 2021 documentary series about the Beatles?
36:06Is it Get Back, Let It Be, or A Hard Day's Night?
36:11It could be any of them, really.
36:15It could be.
36:16But I don't know.
36:20Something about Get Back is standing out to me.
36:24So, it's a guess, Line Up, Get Back.
36:28Okay.
36:29Yep.
36:30Line Up, Get Back.
36:32Is that the subtitle of Peter Jackson's documentary series about the Beatles?
36:37Get Back.
36:40Yes!
36:43Right.
36:46An educated guess, I'd call that.
36:48Now we need a little bit more luck.
36:50So, think about the timing.
36:52See if we can get it over the left hand side.
36:55Am I going to light up four?
36:57Yeah, we're going to stick with four for the moment.
37:00Okay.
37:01You heard the man.
37:01Let's see if we can get the timing right.
37:04Light it up.
37:12Go flat.
37:14It does.
37:15I think this is going to lateral it even further over though.
37:18Yeah, look.
37:19Okay.
37:20Brought a few over.
37:21It's cleared a bit of space.
37:22We might get something over though.
37:24Alright.
37:25Yeah.
37:26That's alright.
37:27Just one.
37:282,700 now is your total.
37:33And let's go back and light her up again.
37:35Four again, Todd.
37:36Light her up.
37:43Go flat.
37:45Alright.
37:47It's going to push it into three now, I reckon.
37:49Do you think so?
37:50Yeah.
37:50It's going to lateral it over.
37:51Yeah, we might have to.
37:52Oh.
37:53Oh no.
37:54It's just pulled it.
37:55Pulled it there.
37:56Let's get a few over of me.
37:57Alright.
37:58Get a few over.
37:59That's two more.
38:00So, another 200.
38:012,900 is in the bank.
38:03And we've got one more counter left to go here.
38:05We need it to really spin hard.
38:07Fill that gap.
38:08Shovel it back over to the right.
38:10And then, work on getting it down.
38:12There's a lot to.
38:13There's a lot of instruction for the machine.
38:16There is, but considering how my game started from the beginning, anything's possible.
38:20It is.
38:21That's true.
38:21I reckon so.
38:22Let's do it.
38:22Alright.
38:22Light her up.
38:24Come on, Tim.
38:30Oh, that's riding.
38:33I've really got that timing off big time.
38:35Bad luck.
38:36Might still nudge something off.
38:38It does.
38:39So, you're going to get a little bit of money.
38:41We'll get you over 3K here.
38:42Yeah.
38:43Yeah.
38:44Oh, nothing.
38:45Nothing.
38:45Alright.
38:46Have a look at the pylon.
38:48Okay.
38:48It's got to come eventually.
38:49But we need counters if that's going to happen.
38:51Let's go back to our board.
38:53Two left to play.
38:54Politics is next.
38:56Yeah.
38:56Stick with three.
38:57Yep.
38:58Yeah.
38:58Come on out.
39:02Jim, during 2013, which of these politicians was the Australian Prime Minister for the shortest
39:09period of time?
39:11Okay.
39:12Was it Julia Gillard?
39:13Was it Tony Abbott?
39:14Or was it Kevin Rudd?
39:16Yeah.
39:17I think I know this one, Todd.
39:18Yes?
39:19Like in Kevin Rudd.
39:20Let's light up Kevin Rudd.
39:22He's been playing pretty well.
39:24But you know what?
39:25We're going to find out after the break if we're right with Kevin Rudd.
39:28Hopefully we can get this jackpot counter moving.
39:44Welcome back everyone to Tipping Point.
39:46Jim is known as the Superman.
39:48He's got 2,900 sitting in the bank.
39:51Come on, Jim.
39:52We want you to get this going.
39:53We want you to get the grease.
39:54Thanks.
39:55Things are positioned in an interesting way so we need as many counters as you can get.
40:00Yeah.
40:00Now, the question before the break was during 2013, which of these politicians was Australian
40:05Prime Minister for the shortest period of time?
40:08Yeah.
40:08Yeah.
40:09You said light up Kevin Rudd.
40:11Yeah.
40:12Is Kevin Rudd the answer we're looking for?
40:15Come on, Ruddster.
40:18Yeah.
40:18Yeah.
40:2383 days she was there for.
40:25Yeah.
40:25Now, how are we going to get this jackpot counter moving?
40:28Yeah.
40:28What's the plan?
40:29Light up drop zone three.
40:31Okay.
40:31Light up three.
40:32We've got to go right.
40:34So we need to hit it there.
40:36On the right.
40:36Shuffle it over.
40:37Yeah.
40:38On the right.
40:44That's not right.
40:46No.
40:47That's not right.
40:48That's not helping us at all.
40:50Yeah.
40:51That may not even get you accountable.
40:52No, I know.
40:54All right.
40:55Right.
40:56What does he do now?
40:57What do you reckon, Ryan?
40:59I still have my money on three.
41:01Three?
41:01Three.
41:01Three.
41:02All right.
41:02We'll stick with three, Todd.
41:03Back to three, please.
41:10Stay on the right.
41:12Okay.
41:13This might get a bit of a lateral push.
41:14Might be what we're after.
41:15We need it hard, though.
41:16It is flat.
41:17Come on.
41:18There it is.
41:20Try and get something over it, at least.
41:22Try and get something.
41:23All right.
41:25Three more.
41:26Three.
41:26So you get over 3K.
41:273,200.
41:28Yeah.
41:29Slowly building.
41:30Yeah.
41:30So that did a little bit of what you're asking it to do.
41:33Are we back to four or are we sticking at three?
41:36What's it going to be?
41:37We're going to do one more on the three and hope it goes far right.
41:41You heard the man.
41:42Light it up.
41:46Come on.
41:48Go right.
41:48Get right.
41:51Didn't want the right.
41:53Not far enough.
41:54Didn't want the right.
41:56Something over.
41:57No.
41:58Nothing over.
41:59No.
41:59Okay.
42:00We've got one category left to play.
42:01Yeah.
42:02Let's go back.
42:03We've worked our way down the board.
42:05And this is what we've got left.
42:08Beer.
42:11I know I look like a beer drinker, but I'm not.
42:14No.
42:14No.
42:16But we're going to go with the three and let's see how we go.
42:20Come on then.
42:21All right.
42:21Three counters.
42:22Beer.
42:24Beer.
42:25Yeah.
42:28Added to UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list in 2016, was the beer culture of which
42:35country?
42:36Was it Germany, Australia or Belgium?
42:41Ooh.
42:42Well, they're all big beer drinking countries, aren't they?
42:48I'm tempted to go Australia, but my brain is saying Germany.
42:57It's going to be a guess.
43:00You know what?
43:01I'm going to lock in Australia.
43:03Lock in Australia.
43:04Light it up, Todd.
43:06Australia.
43:06Australia it is.
43:07Yeah.
43:09Well, we added to the UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list in 2016.
43:21Is it Germany?
43:22No, it was Belgium in the end.
43:23Oh, well, that's, that makes me feel a bit better.
43:26We were way off the pace.
43:27Yeah.
43:28Yeah.
43:28Yeah.
43:29Well, that means at the end of our jackpot round, unfortunately we haven't got any more
43:33to play.
43:33Yeah.
43:33But, for you, you've still won yourself $3,200.
43:37Well played, Jim.
43:41So it's been a fascinating game the way that this jackpot counter has moved, but there
43:47is plenty of opportunities still left as we get ready to play Jackpot Temptation, Jim.
43:58Jim, it's been that sort of a game today where you have just snuck in at that last moment.
44:03And here we are again, where you're going to have to try to do that.
44:06But, to have another crack at the $20,000, you have to give up $3,200.
44:13Yeah.
44:13I don't know, Todd.
44:15Where it is, I reckon it's going to be super hard to get down.
44:19I mean, he's going into, he's going into Superman business mode.
44:25But I know that this might get you thinking about it.
44:29There's five counters on offer, but $100,000 are getting their family to Greece.
44:35So while you kind of get a dry mouth, we're going to the newsroom.
44:41Jim, before we went to the newsroom, your lips were getting a bit dry.
44:45Because you thought you were going to walk away with $3,200.
44:49Yeah.
44:50But I've put a magnificent offer, as good as I can possibly give you.
44:53Yeah.
44:54I can give you five, and that Jackpot becomes $100,000.
44:59But, hey, Jim, down the front there are two doubles.
45:05Yeah.
45:05If you went with one of those, you're looking at $200,000.
45:16I don't know.
45:21Yeah, I think it's where it is, Todd, I can't see it coming down in five.
45:26I'll take the money.
45:27God, I've tried my best.
45:30Well done.
45:30Thanks, mate.
45:31Congratulations.
45:33$3,200.
45:34Well done, Ryan.
45:36Thanks, Angela.
45:37Well played to you.
45:38Wonderful having you on the show.
45:40Good luck with the rest of the business.
45:41Awesome.
45:41I know to never put chips back in my souvlaki again.
45:44Yeah, keep them on the side.
45:45And all of you at home, thanks for watching.
45:47Join us next time when three new contestants light up their luck on Chipping Points.
45:50Thanks, guys.
