Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.

You might enjoy some glittering, shining, sparkling sights on a holiday in India!

Do you risk accepting a £4,000 Jackpot in glittering, shining, sparkling coins?

And have a look at a shining Kia Pride 3-door hatchback family saloon!

Today's contestants are:

Mandy (last name not given): Works for a large airline and hears funny stories from Americans; from Crawley (originally from Stevenage)
Richie: Formerly worked with metal detection for security in a nightclub; his girlfriend is watching tonight
Mandy: Soon to be 24 years old, and is a fan of INXS having seen them 20 times (a bit "INXSive", as Nicky points out); from Leeds

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Look out for that BANKRUPT which is anything but "glittering, shining, sparkling". We'll see a sparkle in your eyes just before you buzz in!

Round 1

SINGER & SONG

Blue Mandy solves THE EAGLES HOTEL CALIFORNIA.

They thought they would never escape this puzzle! Mandy must now take a wooden sauna, a trip to Lanzarote, or a home multi-gym centre.

Mandy picks a Lanzarote holiday.

Mandy	Richie	Mandy

		Lanzarote

It could be hell with that second BANKRUPT or heaven with that second 1,000 space. Carol gives a heavenly presentation of a full-length imitation fur coat! We add more glitter with a token on 250, and we have this puzzle:

Round 2

OCCUPATION

Question: Who is second in line to the Throne?

OCCUPATION

Richie solves SECURITY GUARD.

Of course, he'd solve a puzzle like this. We should guard Steve as he tells us about a man's duffle coat, scarf, and umbrella, a complete children's duffle coat, and a lady's coat including a bag.

Richie will steal the man's coat.

Mandy	Richie	Mandy
5,450	1,400	4,200
	Coat	Lanzarote

A third 1,000 space should help you feel protected! How would you feel if we doubled the values? How do you feel about winning a man's 9-karat gold and diamond ring? This token will go on 450, and our next puzzle is ready:

Round 3

EVENT

Question: Which U.S. state is known as the Bluegrass State?
Richie: Kentucky (Correct!)

Mandy	RICHIE	Mandy

250: M 500: Y Solve: Correct!
1,500

EVENT

Red Mandy solves THE NEW YORK MARATHON.

She still has a little bit before the finish line. While she waits, we can give her a microwave and dishes, a trip to Costa del Sol, or a rubbish compactor.

Mandy accepts the microwave and dishes.

Mandy	Richie	Mandy
6,950	1,400	4,200
Microwave	Coat	Lanzarote

We don't need "compacted" scores, so let's add a fourth 1,000 space to the Wheel!

Round 4

Mandy: Thames (Correct!)

MANDY	Richie	Mandy
400: T (x3) 250: S (x2) 500: R (x2) 1,000: H (x2)

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

We need to get to that finish line! Nicky will now give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 1,000 doubled!

Mandy: C (DUD!)
Richie: L (DUD!)
Mandy: M (2,000)
Mandy: N (11,400)
Richie: W (2,000)
Mandy: K (4,000)

PROVERB

Blue Mandy solves THERE'S NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE.

Fortunately, there's no fire. There's just Mandy inspecting a selection of wooden tables, a trip to Geneva, and a Hi-Fi sound system.

Mandy finishes with the Hi-Fi system.

Mandy	Richie	Mandy
18,350	3,400	8,200

Mandy selects the £4,000, and we select this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

OBJECT

Will she get this one after picking STRNCE?

She gets FRONT, but she does not solve FRONT DOOR KEY. Mandy still leaves with the microwave and the souvenir watch.
