Tipping Point viewers were left divided over yet another format change yesterday as the game show returned.
Plenty of viewers took to Twitter to slam the show, with some even going so far as to switch off!
Tipping Point changes
After a week away, Tipping Point returned to screens last night.
Throughout most of last week, the hit ITV show had been replaced by Fastest Finger First in the TV schedules. However, it was back in its rightful 4pm slot yesterday afternoon.
But, a few changes had been made in the week that it was away.
When the show returned yesterday, there were just three contestants taking part, rather than the usual four.
The quick-fire question round has been tweaked, giving contestants 45 seconds to answer, rather than 30 seconds.
There is also no elimination after the first round.
Tipping Point on Twitter
It’s safe to say that viewers were divided over the new changes to the show.
Many took to Twitter to complain about them.
“Oh man, new series and it’s a [bleep] 3-player start, I don’t like it,” one viewer wrote.
“#TippingPoint bit crap tonight isn’t it?” another said.
“Fewer contestants = more adverts. Just saying,” a third tweeted.
“Bring back four players!” another demanded.
Other viewers liked the changes though. “Glad to see it’s back to 3 contestants not 4!!” one fan of the show tweeted.
Referring to the three contestants, another added: “It makes it more interesting.”
Another tweeted: “Back to original 3 contestants!” followed by a thumbs up emoji.
What else did viewers say about the show last night?
Other viewers were just happy to see the show – hosted by Ben Shephard – return yesterday.
