Having beaten off the competition, Jim made it through to the final round where he had the chance to play for £10,000 on the ITV game show.
But many viewers of the programme were left confused by his tactics and claimed that he was actively trying not to secure the jackpot.
When asked by host Ben how many counters he wanted to place into the machine, he said ‘one’ a number of times as opposed to playing all three available counters.
On Twitter, one fan declared: “It’s like this guy doesn’t want to win!”
Another echoed: “Obviously doesn’t need the £10k…”
A third joked: “He’s done a great job of trying not to win the jackpot.”
Whilst a fourth fumed at the player, saying: “F**king pr**k doesn’t realise there isn’t actually a different question for 1, 2 and 3 counters.”
Jim failed to secure the jackpot, as predicted by the show’s avid fans, and instead walked away with a respectable £3,100.
It came as fans were left concerned for Ben throughout the episode after he appeared extremely tired.
Viewers were worried for the star as they commented on his “rough” and “shattered” appearance.
Taking to social media, one viewer said: “Ben looking a tad shattered #TippingPoint.”
Another posted: “#TippingPoint Ben does sound rough.”
“When Ben’s got his puffy eyes the camera staff off him a lot and only on him when he’s looking down,” tweeted a third.
A fourth viewer even said the presenter seemed “grumpy” while another said he was going “a bit heavy on the eyeliner and blusher today” to mask his apparent tired look.
