What puzzles me is when they put 3 final counters in the machine to see if the jackpot counter would have fell, it's always Ben who presses the plunger not the contestant

Are you sure of that? I've never seen anyone actually push the button when they show that.

Shaun Williamson, Barry Evans from Eastenders, is currently playing in "Celebrity Tipping Point".

He made a complete hash in the first round by answering all of the three first questions and choosing to play. He didn't get one counter over the tipping point. He's now playing catch up in the second round.

He failed and is now out. For his last counter drop he chose a zone that hadn't been used previously and won precisely..............nothing. No surprises there then.

Jennie McAlpine, whoever she is, is going for the £20k jackpot.

I don't know off hand if they show the button being pressed every time but when they do it's usually Ben doing the pressing

Are you sure, David?
In any case, it really doesn't matter.
It's not a matter of skill, only luck.

I've watched Tipping Point many times and I've never seen anyone press the button for those three final attempts. There have also been many occasions when they don't even show it. Last night was one example, assuming the winner did it.

Robin Cousins may have been a top class ice skater but he was rubbish at playing Tipping Point.

In the final round he only asked for two counter questions and completely messed up the last question saying the human heart had two chambers, not four.

Had he gone for three point questions and got them right he could have won the £20,000.

Even so he managed to win £5,900 for his charity so he was happy.

Why? It's working non-stop. Just like a woman.

Agreed, but "she" never does what you expect "her" to do most of the time.

Yesterday's "celebrities" were dire IMO.

Hmm doesn't so bad! Not sure if I like the idea of it only being about TV though.
Would rather just have The Chase back though!

I don't watch the Chase and will not be watching this. Not a fan of Tarrant.
