I didn't blame him for not gambling almost £4k to win £10k, specially as the jackpot counter was in an almost impossible position..

Ha ha. I normally will the contestant to win, but this chap just isn't bright enough to deserve the £10k! I wonder if it's nerves, or he's really this thick?

Never seen anyone go for one point answers in the final round.
And then get them wrong. |

I don't think either of the final two contestants today deserved to reach the final. The female knew next to nothing and the chap who won through is releasing the counters far too late.
Question. Which character of P D James is named after an an Irish county. The female couldn't answer it so passed it. The chap gave the answer as Wicklow.

If you play the tipping point app an update was released yesterday which includes a few tweaks and the new double counters as featured in the show.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I think the '2x counter'
Spoils things a bit, if a player drops a good few counters and the 2x counter, it turns the game into a one horse race! |

Given that she was releasing the counters far too late and getting riders, plus the two counter questions she took, I thought she was very fortunate to win the jackpot.
Nevertheless, well done to her. |
