EXPLAINED: Tipping point contestant has worst timing ever as viewers question his technique | Vintage Vibes

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.
