Has anyone seen this. A woman won Tipping Point and Pick Me on the same day ..

ITV quiz show lovers were left stunned this week, when one woman won two quiz shows in a matter of hours.

The woman made her first appearance on ‘Pick Me!’ on Wednesday afternoon, where she was introduced as Marilyn, a hospital worker.

She then appeared on ‘Tipping Point’ just hours later, where she was introduced as Mal by host Ben Shephard.

Any hopes Marilyn/Mal had of having her two appearances go unnoticed were dashed when she won both shows, scooping £1,000 on the first and £3,400 on the second.

Obviously, eagle-eyed fans on Twitter weren’t about to let it go:

I was only half watching so must have missed them.

If some viewers were 'left stunned' at this they need to readjust their perspective and/or ask the doctor for stronger sedative meds.

I am sure they meant stunned as in Not as in stunned by a gun.

True. I was watching an old 'Who wants to be a millionaire' and saw Mark Labbet,t from The Chase, in the contestant's chair.
You see the same people again and again in different quizzes. This is certainly nothing new.

Yeah I know, but 'stunned' - really??
I think 'very mildly interested by the coincidental appearance of the same woman in two shows on the same day' might be nearer the mark

Tabloid hyperbole.

Another stupid teacher on todays show who thought the largest salt lake in the world is the Pacific Ocean. As Ben said "Our childrens future is in his hands". Gawd 'elp us.

Proud to be thick, he had no idea about pulses, he barely has one himself.

Is there a shortage of teachers or something? Are they giving the jobs to anyone who applies these days?

You'd have thought Apollo 11 would have tripped off the tongue - surely an absolute 'must know' when teaching primary kids.

Historically primary teachers seem to fail regularly on most quizzes.

So I've noticed. Oooh he won the 10 grand.

Agree with you tennis the teacher was again very ill-informed.
Quite right for Ben to chide him.

Thing is he seemed quite content, even smug about his ignorance.

I used to teach an evening class at our local Primary Teacher Training college; the grammatical errors on the wall displays and collages were quite startling, not least because the tutor had let them be put up and to remain.

There is no wonder children cannot read or write.

Couple of basic tactical errors in round one today.

"Which Spanish club won the Champions League in 2014?"

Bloke buzzed in and said Barcelona. It was the other one,Real Madrid.

If you buzz in on a question in the first round, you cannot afford to be wrong, because if you are,you lose one of your counters. There is next to no advantage in buzzing in early,because everybody gets three counters and you cannot get more than this unless there's any in the penalty pot. That's the only time when being quick on the buzzer really matters. But a lot of the players don't seem to understand this and needlessly give away counters by buzzing in early with wrong answers.

William Thomson was better known as Lord Kelvin. That was news to me, I thought Kelvin was Kelvin's actual name. You learn something new every day.

wow another useless player on here and not got any right yet he sucks big time.

finely got some money at last.

I'm sure his son's happy with his father's disappointment in him being aired on national TV.

There is a small advantage to be the first one to answer the question, it sometimes take a counter or two before the machine is ready to drop one, so to have the opportunity to take a counter away from someone gives you a better chance.

There is a small advantage in getting perhaps the very first or maybe the second question right,because as you say the machine probably won't pay out much in the first two drops, so you can pass it to somebody else. But after that it hardly matters. The first round in Tipping Point is largely a matter of luck,it's just who gets the most money with their three counters. So you simply cannot afford to lose counters by buzzing in with a wrong answer.

Another dumb teacher today who passed when asked what European country suede is named after then lost by £50.

Never seen a person get so many riders the timing is just so bad.

I agree with that. Anne-Marie, the finalist, should change her name to Rider. Her timing was the worst I've seen for ages. I think she could have played all night and not got the jackpot counter over the top shelf, never mind the bottom one.

Absolutely staggering.

If ever there was a time to, err, take a tiny risk, there it was.
Did he say he thought it may be Switzerland?

Heaven help the kids.

Yes. Surely he must have heard La Suéde being mentioned in Eurovision for many many years.

Q. In 1955 which British prime minister resigned and was replaced by Anthony Eden?

A. John Major.

Her excuse was "I'm only young". Which makes her answer even more stupid as John Major was prime minister in the 90's when she was young as she looked in her 30's.
