Clare solves SPIDER MONKEY. Too scared to try for the lucky K?

Well, she won't be scared to look at our prizes. We'll start with a jewellery selection and a Yashica Zoomate camera.

Clare takes the camera.

PRIZE PUZZLE

Go!

PRIZE PUZZLE

Allison almost breaks the buzzer, but she solves A FRESH ROASTED CUP for a Zoratto Enterprises stainless steel coffee set.

Steve says she may have to pay for any damage during the show.

Coffee set		Camera

Will you pay the price for your curiosity? You could look at one of our two Mystery Wedges, and it could be a BANKRUPT, or it could be a Port Douglas Holiday at Sheraton Mirage!

The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.

Round 2

PLACE

Allison	TREVOR	Clare
	230: R Lose A Turn!	Prize?: T (x2) (She flips it... ...BANKRUPT! (0)) (Solve bank lost)
	230
180: M M.500: S Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
680

PLACE

Allison solves EAST TIMOR. Even though Allison couldn't flip the other Mystery wedge, Steve double checks that it was the holiday.

After double checking that we have the correct prizes for this round, Allison will take a children's Learning Curve set or a DVD Infinity disc player with conversion service.

Allison picks the DVD player.

1,050	440

FILL IN THE BLANK

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

Just so we can fill in that middle word, Steve should give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!

"That's a bit lousy." Steve will have another one, and consonants are worth 230.

Clare: J

FILL IN THE BLANK

Clare solves ? SCHOOL ? JUMP ? TIDE. She could jump closer to the lead with 200 more if she fills in the blank.

And high is correct!

And now, we'll jump over to the prizes. For solving this one, Clare can have a Mats Jonasson vase or a Burke and Wills Australian-made outdoor jacket.

Clare will have the jacket.

Perhaps tall Trevor wasn't a fit for this game. He and Allison with both take home a Cellarmaster thermo electric cool box and Parker pens as a consolation prize.

All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune board game.

Allison leaves with almost $4,000 in prizes.

BONUS ROUND:

After recovering from a bad Mystery flip, Clare absolutely deserves one of our major prizes, which could be...

Schott Zwiesel cutlery set and glassware ($4,270)
Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa holiday ($5,286)
Mitsubishi Outlander XLS ($37,490)

And it's time to try for a $5,000 cash Jackpot!

With 2,850, Clare has three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Niagara Therapy reclining massage chair ($8,045)

We're not joking around with this puzzle.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

CRT, and E lights up part of the top word.

THING

She can't get the first word, and she does not solve ELECTRONIC BANKING. It seems obvious once it comes up. At least Clare has another shot tomorrow.
