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.

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.

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.

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

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:

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!
It's good to be back home...
