Just goes to show that anybody can win the 10 grand, her timing was all out, you have to have a bit of luck..& she got it.
I'm sure her answering 5 categories correctly and putting 13 counters into the machine had a bearing on her success.

I only switched on at the start of the final round. After a couple of minutes I thought if Sarah was the best of the original four the others must have been pretty poor.

However, despite her atrocious timing and the number of riders she got she still, somehow, managed to win the Jackpot. If I was her I would spend some of the winnings on buying a few lottery tickets. It only goes to prove however bad you play the game you can still win.
But you expect that from an old lady who has memory issues.

Yes i know she answered 5 categories to win the counters, what i am saying is she was way off her timing with dropping them, & i am amazed a lot more didn't ride, so all i am saying it she was lucky she even got it at all, but luck with that was on her side..

It's always down to luck. Even with the drops. The counters can rattle about in the machine for a while or they drop quickly like a stone.

"The Victorian Age was named after which ruler?"
"Pass"

Give me strength.

Which resulted in another undeserving winner.

I don't hold out much hope for Keith in the final round following that poor display of general knowledge in the semi final.

It was a repeat I think as I recognised the hideous shirt.

I don't know but she needs gagging. I'm sick of her voice already. I think I'll turn the sound off when she's playing.

Dave's acting when he 'guessed' 'Shakespeare In Love' was painful to watch, but not as painful as Flo.

Hahaha. I see that we're all Flo fans!

I think I'll go and clean the top of my cooker.

Why did Ben pronounce 'proboscis' as probosis, I always thought the correct way to say it was proboskis

This is a repeat from a few months back. I remember Flo's waffle in the head to head round about whether or not her opponent knew the answer, when it didn't matter as she obviously knew the answer herself anyway.

Can't remember if she won the jackpot though.

She got a stinking sixth question:-

Who wrote the screenplay for the 2004 film, Mean Girls? She guessed Kristen Wiig, the correct answer was Tina Fey.

No, I didn't know either.

Yeah, just watched the show and thought she was the most irritating player I've seen on this show. Then I realised that I'd seen her before. Tortuous is all I can say.

That is the first time I have ever turned off Tipping Point due to an annoying contestant.

Oh dear it's dropped far left of the dropzone.

Why does the star counter not fall centrally very often?
