Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Kerrie Friend returns for another week, and she's looking for a man with a sexy voice. Rob and Deeks aren't sure if they know anyone.
Today's contestants:
Tania Colbain (returning with $7,670 in prizes)
Laurie Lynch (male): Married for 42 years and loves lawn bowls and ringing bells
Marc Edwards: Catering manager who wants to be a top gun and fly in a jet fighter
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 500, and here's our first puzzle:
We raise the top-dollar value on the Wheel to 2,000! A good thing for Laurie or Marc if they're going to catch up.
Tania solves WILMA FLINTSTONE. It's time to put the cat out for the night!
BONUS ROUND:
Keep that money coming, and Tania's 3,440 and previous 7,355 add up to 10,795 for seven consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Proton Satria GLi!
As many letters as it takes, this should be her puzzle...

Laurie solves THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.
Yes, he still has some catching up to do, but we can distract Laurie with a few prizes. There's a Tissot Swiss-made gent's watch, a Red Devil vacuum cleaner, and a travel products collection to look at.
Laurie goes for the watch.

Tania is going on a holiday.

That same cat just threw Marc off the set, though he will be getting a pair of Beacon Lighting heart-shaped lamps as a consolation prize.
