Even host Ben was forced to acknowledge her unusual method, stunned that it was actually working.
“You are somehow getting away with this Nikki
“You’re living on the edge but its working,” he told her.
But fans at home weren’t so impressed, and doubled down on their frustration when she took forever to answer questions in her head-to-head round when she knew she was up against the clock.
On one question, she admitted she “wasn’t sure about the answer” and began discussing her lack of knowledge while the clock was still ticking.
Host Ben even had to tell her to pass.
“FOR CHRIST’S SAKE! You’re on the clock – don’t say “Er… I can’t think of an answer to that one…” Ben had to tell her to pass, FGS. #TippingPoint,” blasted one fan.
“That would have been more if she hadn't done an essay meaning 'pass' #tippingpoint,” said another, while a third blasted: “Can't think of an answer" while clock is running down. You do realise it's against the clock!”
Astonishingly, her luck continued, soaring her into the lead with a whopping £1800.
“it’s certainly working for you Nikki, I don’t know how!” Ben added in astonishment.
Atoningly, Nikki managed to beat off both of her rivals by a mile, taking her large loot into the final for a chance to win £10k.
Player Matt felt compelled to comment, saying: “shes very lucky with these. Today is your day,” and “She’s got. Away with it again.”
Astonishingly she managed to land the £10k jackpot counter, arguably making her the luckiest player ever.
