Just caught up on the episode. Loved it. Todd was great. I can see this being really successful at 5PM.

Were the questions as easy as the UK version?

I asked Colin Vickery on Twitter (and yes I still call it that) how Tipping Point rated last night.

Not a bad result, though the jury will be out when it “officially” launches after the tennis.

How very odd.

The show picked up a sizeable regional audience plus 35k BVOD.

Maybe Avatar was just testing Colin out!
Good to see both numbers align.

I really like the first ep of Tipping Point AU! I prefer the Aussie more than the UK one. The crowd gives it more of excitement!

Latest promo running opens with “This is the new 5 o’clock game changer”. However the promo shown in Perth is missing this v/o. Instead it starts with Todd saying “It’s a game of strategy…”. The rest of the promo is the same. So it suggests that Perth will keep WA News First and slot the new Tipping Point Australia into the 4pm spot that currently has the Tipping Point UK - an easy switch. Highly speculative of course.

Yes, not so game changing at 4pm now, is it?
So do we know what will happen to airing at 3pm? Nine News Now will be back or still Tipping Point UK?
I reckon PER/ADL might see
2pm Tipping Point UK
3pm Pointless
4pm Tipping Point AU
5pm Nine News 5pm

Adelaide is returning afternoon news to 4:00 pm

They should keep the afternoon news at 5pm in Perth. It rates quite well in the time slot and is helping 6pm rate better as well. Putting it back at 4pm would not be a smart decision for either the news or Tipping Point in Perth. 9 needs to do something different to 7 to get better ratings in the west imo.

Is it though?
I think it’s better to have a uniform schedule and Tipping Point should do well over in Perth.

Some food for thought.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a game board for Tipping Point is produced and then eventually sold at Big W, Target etc. in the coming months. I say this because there have been game boards produced for The Chase Australia, Family Feud etc.
A game board for the British version already exists, so therefore for the Australian market it would need to be retooled to include Todd Woodbridge instead of Ben Shephard, and also include questions/answers suited to the local audience (for example, including some AFL/NRL questions, local music questions etc.).

And if you don’t like how you are going, you can just tip the board over! And that can be your “Tipping Pont”!

Didn’t know there was a board game for Tipping Point. Just looked into it, and wish the machine was bigger. It looks quite small.
