Tipping Point fans in hysterics as contestants give 'dumbest answers ever'

Tipping Point viewers were left in hysterics today as they joked the contestants gave the "dumbest answers ever" in an epic showdown.

Viewers flocked to Twitter to debate tonight's episode, with many insisting Aky, Brooke, Kate and Gerry gave plain "silly" responses.

Aky and Brooke were criticised over their performance in the quick-fire round on their quest to win a cash prize from the Coin Dozer style machine.

Host Ben Shephard, 45, threw questions at the eager contestants as they tried to guess the answers correctly within a 30-second time limit.

Howeve,  things didn't seem to go to plan for the players as they got a few too many wrong.

In a bid to get through to the next stage, Aky and Brooke had to answer as many questions in super quick-time in order to gain more counters to win money.

Ben asked: "What word follows roller in the common name of theme park ride?"

Hesitant Aky paused before replying: "Blade." The unsure contestant laughed after Ben told him: "Rollercoaster."

Meanwhile, Brooke was quizzed by Ben: "In 2002 Jennifer Lopez starred as Marisa Venturain the film made in where?" as hopeful Brooke said: "Chelsea."

But she guessed incorrectly, as the answer was Manhattan.

Viewers were left in stitches as the show unfolded in front of them at home.

One furiously wrote: "Which word follows roller in the well known theme park ride?" "Blade" F***ING BLADE? What the f**k is going on today??? #tippingpoint "

Another joked: "Roller... blade. Worst. Ride. Ever. #TippingPoint "

A third penned: "Maid in Chelsea??? F***ing hell, these answers though... #tippingpoint "

"Made in Manhattan is such a big “chick flick” even I knew that answer #loveachickflick #tippingpoint " another added.

And a fifth mocked: "Maid in Chelsea? Chelsea??? braindead the lot of them #TippingPoint "

Another shared: "This episode surely must contain some of the dumbest answers there has ever been, we've already had some corkers today".

Aky went on to become the winner, bagging himself £10,000.

He decided not to walk away with the money and traded the cash for another chance to try and win the jackpot.

The Manchester-born boxing correspondent said he was going to use the huge cash prize to spoil his newborn baby girl, and is putting some of the lump sum towards his wedding in September.
