Are you ready, Australia? It's time to spin the Wheel, as we play for $1,000,000 on Australia's favourite game...
Our first contestants:
Tamara Beck: Business manager
Corey Barker: Student in economics and finance
Denise Sullivan: Fun, friendly, but "high maintenance"
Go!
Corey solves POT OF GOLD PENDANT. He could've gone further, as the G was the lucky letter.
We still have a Puzzler for the home audience! Can you solve it?
Go!
Corey solves MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND for the cash bonus, straight from Tim's hand to Corey.
Tamara has yet to light up her board, but now might be her chance! But look out, as we have a second BANKRUPT on the Wheel.
DING DING DING DING DING DING!
Well, maybe Tim was talking too much. Now it's his turn to give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth $310.
Tamara: T (x3) (1,280)
Double perfection! Tamara solves GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Still another miss with the X as the lucky letter.
There is a special $5,000 home viewer contest. This is the first puzzle (answer not revealed):
Go!
Denise solves TO FEEL LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is now $2,500!
Since we were already short of time, Tim gives it another spin. Consonants are worth $770, and Denise begins.
Denise: R (x3) (770)
Tamara: N (DUD!)
Corey: T (770)

Corey solves LET THE GAMES BEGIN. He will be taking the first spin.
Before we begin though, we must introduce the Million Dollar Wedge between two small BANKRUPT spaces. Solve this puzzle and win the game without hitting BANKRUPT, and you might just carry the wedge to the Golden Wheel where you can play for a $1,000,000 cash prize!
The top-dollar value on the Wheel for this round is $750. I think we've covered everything, so let the games begin!

THING | |||||||||||||||
Corey solves BURIED TREASURE and wins the game!
We calculate only converted cash for the final totals, though Corey would've won either way.
Tamara | Corey | Denise |
1,280 | 2,990 | 1,230 |
$1,280 cash | $3,490 cash | $1,230 cash Kia Rondo 7 |
Tamara and Denise also receive a Nikon Coolpix S550 camera.
BONUS ROUND:
A good first night, but Corey has a chance to win one more prize! What could it be?
7-night Erakor Lagoon holiday and stay at Le Meridien Port Vila Resort & Casino ($5,498)
B&K Traditional Billiards table ($5,800)
Kia Rondo 7 ($32,606)
Or plenty of cash...$200,000!
His score is at 2,990, so Corey will receive three consonants and a vowel, then he will have the usual 10 seconds to solve the puzzle.
Time to spin the Golden Wheel, and it lands on...
7-night Erakor Lagoon holiday

He's not sure what to say, and he does not solve FIRST IN BEST DRESSED. Corey is still at $3,490 in cash, and he may carry his score of 2,990 to the next show.
Since the cash prize was not won, another $200,000 space will be added on the next show, and this will continue until it is won.
