Time for Heat 2 of Family Week on Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Ben & Tracey (brother/sister): Ben plays underwater hockey (yes, there is such a thing). Tracey is wondering about Burgo's curiosity if brothers and sisters do or don't get along.
Phoebe & Jim (daughter/father): Phoebe is involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme. Jim...has never tried Wheel before.
Daniela & Kay (daughter/mother): Daniela enjoys walking on the beach and singing, and she might sing professionally. Kay is asked if Daniela is a good kid...and she pauses to think about it.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $500, and we've got the GOODIE on the Wheel, which is a selection of Saint Tropez clothing and sleepwear worth $405.
