Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Rhonda DeMoro (returning with $4,719 in prizes)
Michael Burgess
Sonya Vargis

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

GEOGRAPHICAL

Sonya solves MOUNT SAINT HELENS to keep the Proton half. She might erupt if she scores the other half for a car.

But let's calm her down. It's time to choose between a D.K. Olympic sports book collection, a Fujifilm advanced photo system package, or an Audioline cordless phone system.

Sonya picks the phone system.

FILL IN THE BLANK

Rhonda reads what's on the board. Did that vowel pay off? She can score a 200 bonus for filling in the blank.

She says line, but the blank is bush.

Rhonda still scores a good prize. We have a set of Tommy Armour golf clubs, some garden lighting, and a business software package.

She'll be taking the golf clubs.

It's Sonya's turn next, and she could score the car in this round!

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

That'll teach you to fill in the board. Rob will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!

That'll teach Rob to listen for the bell. Another spin, and consonants are worth 450.

Rhonda solves SINGIN' IN THE RAIN.

She might be singin' about another prize. We can offer a Swiss Army Delta watch, a champagne and wine goblet set, or a Meyer non-stick cookware package.

This time, Rhonda takes the cookware package.

The answer is GO AHEAD MAKE MY DAY.

The top-dollar value is now 2,500, and that could make you happy.

PERSON

You'll have to trust Rob to give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 385, and Rhonda begins.

Rhonda: R
Michael: H (x2)

PERSON

Michael solves HUGH GRANT just on the buzzer, and it is accepted.

He's not leaving empty handed. He can have a Whirlpool washing machine, an Apollo Cabin kid's bed, or a Tasmanian holiday.

Michael's leaving with the Tasmanian holiday.

Rhonda	Michael	Sonya (...)
1,695	1,855	4,365
Golf clubs cookware	Tasmania	Phone system

The consolation prizes are a Denby bakeware package and Parker pens.

Rhonda leaves with the spa and her other prizes.

BONUS ROUND:

Now it's Sonya's turn! She can play for one of our major prizes including:

Whirlpool washer/dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher ($5,050)

Samoa holiday

Proton Persona XLI ($18,690)

We think $4,300 in cash would be nice with it!

With 4,365, Sonya might be okay with four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Proton Persona XLI!

This is her second chance, but she must solve this puzzle:

OCCUPATION

At the end of the clock, she solves ENGRAVER ...but she pauses while saying it on the buzzer, and the staff won't take it. The audience says she should get it (as she did start before the buzzer), and Rob is expecting trouble.

Sonya might still get another chance next time!
