Toss-Up Time!
Go!
Corey solves TO GET THE BALL ROLLING and will begin...
...Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune! Where one lucky spin could lead the way to $1,000,000! This is...
Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Corey Barker (returning with a total of $3,490 in cash)
Nicole Thompson: Likes sorting out mysteries, and has a habit of spoiling movies
Darryn Ricketts: Has a few greyhounds, and wants to win some money to feed them
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750, and take a look at the Million Dollar Wedge! Now take a look at our first puzzle:
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
Go!
Darryn solves CASINO ROYALE for the $500 cash.
The top-dollar value is increased to $1,500.
Time for our next round!
DING DING DING DING DING DING!
This is how we should have started the round. Tim will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth $500.
Corey: T (x2) (500)
Nicole: H (1,355)
Darryn: M (DUD!)
Corey: P (1,000)
Nicole: D (DUD!)
Darryn: F (500)
Darryn guesses TOP OF THE CHART, which is not correct.
Corey: S (x2) (1,500)
Corey solves TOP OF THE CLASS. A lucky C would've helped him get there.
The answer to yesterday's home viewer puzzle was SHOW ME THE MONEY. We have another one here:
Go!
Nicole quickly solves THE COLOSSEUM for control.
The top-dollar value is now $2,500!
Tim will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth $580, and Nicole begins.
Nicole: S (x2) (1,935)
Darryn: T (x4) (1,080)
Corey: R (500)
Nicole: N (2,515)
Darryn: D (1,660)
Darryn solves TO FINISH WHAT YOU'VE STARTED.
BONUS ROUND:
Corey's playing again, and his chances at the biggest prize have doubled! We also have...
Frederique Constant his-and-hers diamond watches ($7,000)
Kia Rondo 7 ($32,606)
...and of course the $200,000.
As usual, we add points from a previous loss. Corey's 2,835 and previous 2,990 become 5,825, so he gets four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Another chance with another puzzle...
