The counters are polished and the stakes are high as three of Australia’s most entertaining celebrities prepare to face the machine in a special prime-time edition of Tipping Point, Sunday, December 14, at 7.00 pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Hosted by tennis legend Todd Woodbridge, in this charity showdown a trio of TV and radio heavyweights will battle it out for a $40,000 cash prize for their chosen causes.
Radio royalty and television presenter Kate Langbroek brings her trademark fearless humour to the game, hoping to secure a big win for My Room Children’s Charity.
Joining her is the “Crown Prince of Comedy”, Joel Creasey. The Nova Drive-time presenter is ready to unleash his quick wit on the machine in support of Breakthrough T1D.
Completing the lineup is stand-up sensation and Fox FM Breakfast host Nick Cody. Known for his no-nonsense comedy style, Nick is aiming to tip the counters over the edge in the favour of Foodbank.
Will they master the machine? Expect edge-of-your-seat drama and hilarity as these three stars take on Tipping Point’s riveting blend of chance and skill – Sunday, December 14, at 7.00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Season 3 of Australia’s favourite game show, Tipping Point, is back from Monday, February 2, at 5.00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Following his commentary duties at the Australian Open, tennis legend Todd Woodbridge is back to host Australia’s favourite game show, which pushes contestants’ luck to the brink.
Get ready for more nailbiting moments, thrilling trivia, and the mesmerising coin-drop machine that keeps audiences guessing until the very last second.
With only the second ever Tipping Point machine in the world, Australia’s version of the game will see Todd test and tempt three lucky contestants on their quest to beat the mesmerising device.
Just like our UK counterpart, the Aussie game format comprises four rounds starting off with the Bank Builder round – the goal being to acquire a counter to play in the machine. Each counter is worth $100 and means a shot at the Tipping Point machine to bank money away.
Round 2 is called Quickfire, where contestants have 30 seconds to answer questions correctly for a counter. The contestant with the least money at the end of Round 2 will be eliminated from the game.
Scattered throughout the machine ledge are two mystery prize counters and two doubles counters for an extra chance to win big.
Two contestants move on to Round 3 and go head to head with two questions each. A correct answer earns a counter, but an incorrect answer means forfeiting a counter to your opponent. The person with the most money in the bank moves on .
One contestant will then make it to the final Jackpot round and get the chance to take home $20,000. All that’s standing in the way is five questions and Todd’s secret weapon: his Jackpot Temptation.
Jackpot Temptation comes into play if the contestant fails to knock the Jackpot counter over the ledge and win the $20,000, and what a temptation it is. Will Todd offer more counters? More money? A holiday or car? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
I’m also wondering what will happen with that episode. I hope they do show it - especially when there’s talk and winnings for charities.
It’s more of a 7.30pm show rather than airing it at 9pm (onwards) after Married At First Sight. So perhaps a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night at 7.30 in coming weeks? I’m just guessing here.
Coming back after the AO Tipping Point has pulled further ahead of The Chase. The Chase did well when the tennis was on averaging 690,000 but immediately lost 100,000 when TP started.
TP 707,000
Chase 583,000
Margin 123,000
The equivalent figures for the first 3 weeks in 2025 were
