    Anyone watching for the excitement? as if.

    Is anybody watching this for any other reason then to drool over Ben Shephard? He is insanely handsome, he's a wonderfully nice chap, friendly, kind, hard to imagine him being mean to any of the contestants, but let's face it the show is so uninspiring. I am really surprised to see it's still going after almost a decade, so many great game shows haven't lasted half as long. Truly the most exciting thing about the show is seeing what fabulous suit Mr Shephard is wearing. The contestants can be annoying, but I don't remember seeing any unpleasant ones. How big is that machine? That's what I want to know.

    SPINNING TOKENS

    Hi Ben TIPPING POINT is my absolute favourite show and if I'm home, NOTHING makes me miss it.

    I LOOOOOVE the show and you are a presenter of note!

    Sadly, I have noticed that the show is rigged. Why do I say that? Well, I am totally convinced that you guys spin the tokens to your liking. I tried to do everything I can to convince myself that it is not true, but unfortunately there is to much evidence to the contrary. The last one being a token that was dropped down DROPZONE 2. It hit the bottom and spun to the left so hard, that it hit the wall and bounced back more than half way, simply just to roll (or should I say spin, because it was fast) all the way way back left to the wall again. Something, because of the law of physics, is absolutely impossible, unless it has been spun viciously.

    You will very likely deny this. However I would ask you not to. If I am wrong, then put lines or dots or whatever you wish on the tokens and prove to us that I'm wrong.

    I wish I never had to write this, but I believe it is necessary, Kindly Daniel.

    P. S. Doing the spinning of the counters only takes place once the JACKPOT COUNTER is included. If it is left, you spin the tokens right and vica versa.

    Which puts more proof to what I'm saying, because in the earlier rounds you do not do so. The counters are all over the drop zones - left, right and middle.

    Age groups of contestants

    We have young contestants that need to be grouped together to give one of them a chance to win some money to many old money grabbers on young contestants not getting a chance they need money for their future .I admire that they apply to be on the programme we need to Look after the young people for future to many old people on tipping point and I've watched it since it started. Years ago it's not just elderly that need money .things are costing more for young ones who want to go to university or have a family to support.costa are contiinuely going up meaning less can get to university and we need these people for the country's future.

    Room Temperature IQ?

    Are Tipping Point questions too easy or is it meant for primary school children's viewing? A typical question and answer may be as follows- Ben - "What fruit is orangey flavoured, orange in colour and has a chocolate version made by Terry's?" Contestant - "Is it a Cadbury Cream Egg?"

    Maybe not but comes close.

    I know my Tipping Point!

    And it coincides with those beautifully crafted discs of excitement tumbling down the shelf of treachery. One moment I'm racking my brain to questions akin to that of University Challenge, the next I find myself perched on the tip of my sofa ready to tumble myself! A high octane and beautifully constructed game show, my tip? Watch Tipping Point.
