I’m all up for the odd “Celebrity” version of this show. But why do they need to be pushed to a 90 minute edition? The UK Celebrity Version remains at 60 minutes long.
Tonight’s contestants were extremely painful personalities to watch.

The show tips into primetime with a Travel Guides 90 minute special. Kevin & Janetta, Kev, Teng and Dorian, Mark & Brett, will all compete for charity.
Also, the Travel Guides special will now air on Tuesday April 22 at 7.30pm.
UPDATE 16/4: it’s out of schedule due to Nine’s coverage of the third federal election debate between Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton.

Tonight’s episode was extremely painful to watch
All 3 contestants didn’t make any money in the Bank Builder round since the machine wasn’t playing ball or the contestants got a question wrong. There was an ambient drop of 4 counters which were removed.
During the ad break before the Quickfire round there was an ambient drop of 6 counters which were removed. The 1st contestant (Tony) only got 1 counter during his 30 seconds and didn’t make any money. However 3 counters came over the Tipping Point on his 3rd and final push. The 3rd contestant (Victoria) got 2 counters during her 30 seconds. Before she put the 1st counter in 2 counters came over the tipping point and were out of play and were removed. The 2 counters Victoria put into the machine weren’t able to get anything over the tipping point. However on her 3rd and final push on her 2nd counter, 4 counters came over the tipping point and Victoria just snuck through to the Head To Head round.
Before the head to head round started there was ambient drop of 5 counters which were removed.
Patrick got through to the Jackpot round and put the jackpot counter into drop zone 1. It almost sat flat, but unfortunately just rode on top of another counter making it more difficult to move the jackpot counter. Patrick played terribly only getting 1 category right and only moving the jackpot counter 1 counter forward.
He ended the jackpot round with $3,900 and Todd was stupid enough to play Jackpot Temptation and offered Patrick 4 counters for $40,000 and 5 counters for $20,000 and a holiday to Fiji. Patrick was stupid enough to take 5 counters for $20,000 and a holiday to Fiji. He got the jackpot counter down on the lower shelf, but couldn’t get it over the tipping point walking home empty handed.

Huge win for Tipping Point on Tuesday with a near 200,000 margin.
Only three other episodes ever have topped 800,000 and in those cases The Case was about 100,000 behind.

“Game, set and love match for Todd Woodbridge and wife Tash, celebrating 30 years of marriage”:
Nice story, even if it is Woman’s Day. It’s still such a shock to hear he suffered a heart attack a few years ago, somebody who still looks so fit and known for being so healthy/a former athlete. And Warnie’s tragedy too. Middle aged men definitely should all get a check-up!
This week’s Tipping Point ratings averaged 812,000, its best week on record. The Chase averaged 660,000.
The equivalent week last year the number were 704,000 (TP) and 703,000 (Chase).
That suggests that while The Chase has dropped 40,000, Tipping Point has brought an extra 60,000 viewers to the the contest by increasing 100,000.

Locally, I’d love to see an NRL/AFL special (more likely NRL) sometime down the track!
If only 7 & 9 weren’t rivals so much that’d be really cool to watch on Aussie TV.
