Today's finalist sounds like a robot.
Doesn't matter. He walks away with £10k!
He was quite strange. I thought he was going to attack Ben if he didn't win.

I'm glad the girl today didn't win big. I hated the way she kept saying, "Oh no", every time one of the other contestants got any counters out of the machine ... Karma ...

Heaven knows how today's winner managed to get the £10k. She knew almost nothing...... and she's studying law!

Agreed. I wanted the other woman (Julie?) too go through.

She won because she had lady luck on her side.

At least she did better than yesterday's finalist who only managed to answer one of the final six questions.

I couldn't agree more. You would assume the contestants had seen this programme many times before applying to go on the programme. Generally, the counters only lie flat if they are dropped just before the shelf reaches the back so that it is still moving forward when the counter reaches the shelf and is dragged forwards so it lies flat.

That guy last night throughout the show dropped the counter when it was almost as far forward as possible. Therefore it left the counter standing up as the shelf was going backwards when the counter reached the bottom. He got what he deserved. It cost him over £7000. I had no sympathy for him, it was his own fault.

Clearly contestants don't get any advice from the programme makers. If they do then they have no-one to blame but themselves.

As for not taking the gamble I think even he with his method would have won the jackpot. That's assuming he didn't get another three riders of course. Of all the episodes of Tipping Point that was the only episode where I would have gambled, it seemed impossible to lose.

Why do they never show who actually releases the counters for the "lets see if you would have won bit at the end"? You have to wonder if he did it himself or was it rigged?

Today's finalist didn't seem to know much at all but, amazingly, he walked away with the £10k.
Good luck to him.

If this had a real ejector seat I would watch it

There is another new quiz show called The Link on BBC . They both sound rubbish.
