Tipping Point

A tv show,not a movie,so hope i'm in the right thread?

If so,one of a very few tv shows i watch atm.

I wondered why i was drawn to it.

One being,i like a gamble and seeing people win.

Then yesterday,i thought more about the host Ben Shephard.

I thought,he seemed like a nice affable down to earth gentleman.

Looks to be more genuine than most people on tv.

No false self pretenses from what i see.

Then got to thinking from what i've read,they say what we see or admire in others,we see in ourselves.

A nice realization.

This would be the first time in my life,that i've admired characteristics in someone.

And then saw my self. : )


Ps.Tipping point meaning-the point at which a series of small changes or incidents becomes significant enough to cause a larger, more important change.

Used to watch that with my son.
Well it's a massive big coin pusher machine so you've got the fun factor to start with. Used to love playing those while on holiday when younger. Yes, Ben Shephard does seem like a nice chap. Always strikes me he needs a good sleep though. He does the morning show too, so maybe that's the reason. Over stretching himself.

Hi Josephine,

I didn't notice that re:needing a good sleep,another telling sign,so thanks.: )

Hi Ant.. Yes I enjoy watching that show too. And I know what you mean about Ben, he does seem like a very warm , very likeable person. If you resemble him then you must also be a very ,warm, likable person, which would indeed make you feel good about yourself....Hhmmm, you're making me think now whether I'm like anyone ! Can't think off the top of head , but will give it some thought!!!!!

.. Yes Ben does do the morning show too, but I think the format of the game show works for 2 reasons. Ben is such a good host, he has a really good way with the contestants, which draws you. But also , as you said , memories of the 2p pusher machines at seaside. I am not a gambler, however I did somewhat turn into a thing " possessed" with those machines. I was going to get that plastic key ring out at all costs!
