Tipping Point contestant has ‘worst timing ever’ as viewers question his technique

Tipping Point on ITV tests the knowledge and skill of four contestants. However, one particular participant on today’s episode drew the criticism of watching fans.

Despite his best efforts, and a decent level of general knowledge, Pete struggled to accumulate a sufficient amount of money. His counters would often fill in gaps or become ‘riders’, when they slide on top of pre-existing counters rather than pushing them from behind.

In total, he put nine counters into the machine but only generated £350, resulting in his elimination after round two. Viewers took to Twitter to suggest it wasn’t simply luck, offering their input on the poor technique.

@UptToad said: “Riders! Definition of insanity, doing exactly the same thing time after time, and expecting a different result! #tippingpoint.” @mikeybhoy01 added: “Why do none of these people know how to play this game? #tippingpoint.”

@mikeybhoy01 argued: “His timing is the worst I've ever seen. Even the wee old lady at the arcades has better timing on the 2p machines #tippingpoint.”

@allandixon4 also commented: “Serves you right Pete, your timing way off! #TippingPoint” before adding: “Timing again! #TippingPoint.”

Tipping Point airs on ITV on weekdays at 4pm.
