Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
(Note: The first few minutes of the show are cut from the video, so the interviews and the first Flip-Up are missing.)
Today's contestants are returning champion Michael Yannicus, plus challengers Felicity and Andrew!
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
Go!
Felicity solves NAVIGATION SYSTEM for a Magellan GPS System.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
We've been losing a bit of time, so Steve must give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 230.
Felicity: V (2,005)
Andrew: Y (580)
Michael: M (540)
Michael guesses DISTANT RELATIVE COMMODITY.
Felicity: H (Lucky H!) (2,465)
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Steve will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 640.
Andrew: R (DUD!)
Michael: S (x3) (1,180)
Felicity: T (DUD!)
Andrew: N (DUD!)
Michael: M (DUD!)
Felicity: P (DUD!)
Andrew: Z (x2) (1,220)
BONUS ROUND:
Michael remains the champion, and he could win one of our many major prizes! We've got a Mitsubishi Lancer VR-X worth $29,240!
We add 3,700 to his previous 8,600 to bring Michael to 12,300, which gives him eight consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

FILL IN THE BLANK |
Michael solves ? HELMET ? PIN ? NET. He thought he was stumped before calling the P, but is he stumped on the blank? There's a bonus 200 if he knows!
He says cricket, which doesn't work. The blank is safety.
At least his current score is mostly safe, and he's guaranteed to take home a Hills Industries trampoline or a Rhubarb decorative vases and accessories.
Michael takes the decorative package.
