Tipping Point

I like the programme, it's actually good entertainment and one can learn, join in and see the questions it is for the folks watching on tv ( unlike Pointless which as as its name suggests Pointless. Not a show for the home audience as the questions are not on the screen long enough and the hosts take up too much time talking to each other taking the limelight from the contestants ) Ben Shepherd is an excellent host and seems a nice guy my only grumble is he repeats the questions that the contestants have alreasy answered correctly there is no need for that seems a bit of time wasting and finishes a question which he started but ran out of time. The loosing contestants should take home what they manage to win or do they anyway? I'm not sure! Maybe they should start off playing for points then switch to pounds. PLEASE STOP REPEATING THE QUESTION even the ones contestants have got right it's annoying time wasting and feels like your just being PEDANTIC, PATRONISING AND SARCASTIC to the players when they don't do well answering the questions. As for the new format my theory is it's so they can fit more adverts in the programme! Btw 24 May 24 contestant Patsy was enchanting ♥ her!

Hi Ben TIPPING POINT is my absolute favourite show and if I'm home, NOTHING makes me miss it.

I LOOOOOVE the show and you are a presenter of note!

Sadly, I have noticed that the show is rigged. Why do I say that? Well, I am totally convinced that you guys spin the tokens to your liking. I tried to do everything I can to convince myself that it is not true, but unfortunately there is to much evidence to the contrary. The last one being a token that was dropped down DROPZONE 2. It hit the bottom and spun to the left so hard, that it hit the wall and bounced back more than half way, simply just to roll (or should I say spin, because it was fast) all the way way back left to the wall again. Something, because of the law of physics, is absolutely impossible, unless it has been spun viciously.

You will very likely deny this. However I would ask you not to. If I am wrong, then put lines or dots or whatever you wish on the tokens and prove to us that I'm wrong.

I wish I never had to write this, but I believe it is necessary, Kindly Daniel.

P. S. Doing the spinning of the counters only takes place once the JACKPOT COUNTER is included. If it is left, you spin the tokens right and vica versa.

Which puts more proof to what I'm saying, because in the earlier rounds you do not do so. The counters are all over the drop zones - left, right and middle.

...just how little English contestants know about the history of their own country. Program after program their lack of knowledge is astounding. Example, King Canute came to the throne in 1018..was her from Russia, Spain or Denmark. She thought it sounded Spanish but guessed the correct answer, Denmark. An embarrassment to the state of general knowledge in the UK...BTW...I'm Australian

Another quiz show in Britain that faces stiff competition in the field from several others on ITV. Like is usually the case, the Brits really hype up the quiz show with catchy themes and devices to add entertainment value. The device here of course is the tipping point "machine" in which contestants win counters to put into the machine for answering questions correctly hoping to tip over other counters in order to add money to their bank. You can learn some trivia knowledge if you watch the show enough.

However, the show compared to its competition is a little repetitive. Ben Shephard is fine as a host but does not have the same flare to him as Bradley Walsh on the Chase.

Overall it's still a quality quiz show that lets you somewhat play along with whoever you are watching it with. I can't imagine watching it on my own though calling out answers.

One other part that feels a bit off to me is that players can spend the entire hour building up their bank and it all just gets removed unless they have won the show. Usually most shows offer contestants some chance at keeping what they've already won. The mystery tokens also seem like rather cheap prizes a lot of the time.

Overall it's not your first choice game show, but it's not bad if there's nothing else on and you need to burn a little time and want a distraction.

We have young contestants that need to be grouped together to give one of them a chance to win some money to many old money grabbers on young contestants not getting a chance they need money for their future .I admire that they apply to be on the programme we need to Look after the young people for future to many old people on tipping point and I've watched it since it started. Years ago it's not just elderly that need money .things are costing more for young ones who want to go to university or have a family to support.costa are contiinuely going up meaning less can get to university and we need these people for the country's future.
