Tipping Point fans baffled at another major format change on ITV game show

Tipping Point viewers are scratching their heads after the ITV gameshow continues to air two different formats, with different contestant numbers and different rules.

Tipping Point went through a big shake-up to the way in which the ITV show ran earlier this year.

The new version swapped from the usual four-person line-up to only three people and changed the second round, where contestants received 45 seconds instead of 30 seconds to answer questions.

However, recent episodes whipped spectators into an online frenzy as four contestants once again lined up waiting to take on the machine.

ITV presenter Ben Shephard has made no reference to the additional person on the panel, leaving viewers baffled.

Stumped, one fan tweeted: “I’ve just checked our TV magazines, there’s no (repeat) next to the programme, and the on-screen synopsis says new. What’s going on @TippingPointITV? I’m confused about the format”

“When did they go from 3 contestants to 4 again?” asked a second.

Steve Lowe asked: “Four contestants again? I must either be a time traveller, or this is a god-damn repeat! #TippingPoint.”

Another approved of the switch back, saying: “Four contestants is so much better than three in my opinion #TippingPoint.”

The change to the format caused a big stir with viewers, with some even claiming that they “switched off” the show.

One fan wrote: “What sorcery is this? Only 3 contestants. When did this travesty transpire?”

Another said: “#TippingPoint only has 3 contestants! This is weird.”

“What’s going on where’s the fourth player?” a third added.

One viewer also claimed: “Watched 2 minutes and switched off, it’s like a different show.”

ITV underwent a schedule shake-up last week when it removed afternoon gameshows Tipping Point and The Chase from their usual slots, further leaving viewers unhappy.

ITV cancelled the popular quizzing programme in addition to The Chase in order to make way for ITV Racing Live as they broadcast Royal Ascot.

The yearly horse racing event schedule clashed with the game show’s typical air times, leaving Tipping Point fans and The Chase viewers rather disappointed.

“Not everyone in the UK wants to watch he Royal Ascot. Sick of all these schedule changes recently. Enough ITV!!” blasted one viewer
