Very poor timing of the drop by all contestants today resulting in numerous riders. Don't these people watch the show beforehand and suss out the best tactics

Jack continued with his poor timing but still managed to win the Jackpot. Buy a few lottery tickets out of your winnings Jack,

Well done Jack. £10k!
Seemed like a nice boy but I was a bit disappointed that he thought Equus Quagger Quagger was a frog! However, I was pleased that he got the George lll answer right.

How did you manage to post that at 16.27 - before Jack had won his £10,000?

The original post didn't include the jack winning part - that was added in later.

This episode was two years ago. I recognised Jack from the first time.

Ben may be the host but it seems unfair on some things he allows and some things he doesnt especially when questions come to mind. There was one on the watch channel last week the contestant clearly said the answer right before the buzzer went but oh no because it was a boy they wouldnt let him have it would they.
As I said in my previous post, Ben doesn't allow or disallow anything. That is what the independent adjudicator is there for. Any case where it's close as to whether an answer was in time or not will be referred to the IA.

Do you think on The Chase, when the Chaser is closing in on the total, and they say their last answer just as they run out of time, that it's Bradley's decision whether the teams wins or not? No, it isn't.

It must be. Theres been far too many instants where hes said dont ride or dont go left and it conveniently does. At times it drives me mad when the star counter is on the right hand side and the counters go left but no if the contestant takes the money many times the counter conveniently drops at the right place.

There used to be a time when alot of contestants used to trade and then not get anything but now not so many will do it.

Utter rubbish. I've been on the show and in my second round I answered a question right on the buzzer. They then referred it to the adjudicator, who took what seemed an age before they decided I spoke before the buzzer and gave me the point.
Also, any dubious answers and the show stops for a decision to be made.
Obviously this is all cut out or you'd see the show taking around 3-4 hours (which is what it takes to record)

The reason I have turned over plus no clue who she is.


It is amazing how thick some celebs are even when the answer is in the question

I am amazed how little these two know, even the questions that seemed aimed at Brooke she didn't know. Good job she can act!

"Ghostface Chillah is the mascot of which photo messaging and sharing app?"
"Fred Flintstone"

Dario on today's show must be the unluckiest player I've ever seen on Tipping Point.

not sure what the question refers to, but a Quagga is a type of zebra.

This is the third time in the last year or so that this one has been on. As soon as I saw Flo I remembered her. She would be hard to forget.

Wait until the head to head, when she starts waffling about her opponent "bluffing", when it was irrelevant as she obviously knew the answer anyway.

Oddly enough I can't remember if she won or not.

Shephard should be allowed to tell the contestants to shut their mouths and just answer the questions

This woman is so annoying

Northerners have to suffer endless abuse from Southerners trying to make out we're common, etc.

Flo has just proved what a level playing field the country is.

I nearly launched the remote at the telly yesterday when the man in the final came out with "no pressure then" and laughed. That's been doing the rounds since Tarrant first came out with it over 10 years ago. Not original or funny any longer!!
