Tipping Point viewers ‘raging’ as contestant gives ‘masterclass’ in how not to play the game
She had a lot of riders…
Last night’s episode of ITV game show Tipping Point saw social media awash with complaints over how contestant Catherine played the game.
As she faced off against the machine in the show’s final round, viewers took to Twitter to reveal they were less than impressed with how she played the game.
In fact, some even said it was a “masterclass” in how not to play.

Tipping Point player struggles with ‘riders’ on ITV game show
Last night’s episode (February 20) of Tipping Point saw Lucy, Ian and Catherine go against each other for the chance to win a jackpot of £10,000.
While Ian and Lucy were eliminated, Catherine collected £2,400 in her bank. Although she aced most of Ben‘s questions and stayed in the game till the end, viewers found issues with her “timing”.
Throughout the game, most of Catherine’s coins ended up stuck as “riders”. This means they slide over other coins on the shelf, instead of pushing them over the edge.
Catherine also expressed her disappointment. At one point in the game, she was heard saying the “corner zones”, ie drop zones one and four, are more likely to push the coins to the bottom shelf.
However, viewers reckoned that it was Catherine pushing the button at the wrong time that ultimately sealed her fate…

Viewers react
Most Tipping Point viewers complained about the same issue – Catherine’s timing.
Taking to X, one wrote: “A masterclass in when not to press the button.” Another opined: “She’s pressing the button at the wrong time.”
A third person said: “Strap yourselves in for the final. Maybe Catherine will sort her timing out!”
When another added: “Too painful. Perfect [bleep]ing timing.”
Needless to say, Catherine didn’t get the jackpot counter over the tipping point. However, she did go home with £2,400, and plans to take a long-awaited holiday with the funds.
