Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Carol White
Mike Carl
Wendi Williams (returning champion)
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?
Let's see if someone can score this BONUS! Wendi might get a Tissot lady's bracelet stainless steel watch...or will one of the other players steal it?
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We return to Earth for our next round.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The top-dollar value is now 2,500, and Carol doesn't have much time left to win a car.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Carol was so close to that car, but now we must let Rob give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 510.
BONUS ROUND:
Carol might have been slow a moment ago, but she still has enough to try for a major prize like these...
Gold Coast holiday
Home appliance package
Hilton Vienna Plaza holiday ($10,813)
Guava lady's clothing selection ($4,000)
Proton Satria GL ($12,190)
Look at this! We have a $12,300 cash Jackpot!
Carol would've had 4,120 anyway, and that's enough for four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
4-night Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove holiday ($4,682)
She can't be too slow for this puzzle.

Wendi solves SAPPHIRE.
A small puzzle could've been big trouble. Wendi won't think about that, and she'll just look at a Conti Moda lady's bag and accessories, a Danoz Direct grooming pack, and an official Olympic video collection.
Wendi takes the bag and accessories.

Carol solves THE HOTTEST PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM. Show you're on fire by scoring 200 more! You'll need to answer the clue.
She thinks of the Sun. It's hot, but it's a star. The planet is Mercury. Wendi still gets a BONUS...
...and Carol still gets her own prize. She may choose from a Tasco telescope (To look at the sun?), an Aironic air conditioner, and a PocketMail mobile e-mail service.
Carol takes the telescope. She has a good reason not to look at the Sun...

PHRASE | |||||||||||||||
Carol solves A RACE AGAINST TIME, because she knows she needs to score the other half of the Proton car quickly.
We really shouldn't slow her down for this, but Carol still has to pick from an Esen mini home office furniture suite, a Schott Zwiesel glassware collection, and a Waterman pen pack.
Carol picks the office furniture.

THING | |||||||||||||||
Mike solves BIRD'S NEST just after Carol realized the answer.
At least that means Mike won't be leaving empty handed. Just in time, he can look at a Stanley Rogers 88-piece cutlery set, a Tommy Armour golf club set, and a Gold Coast holiday.
Mike is going on a Gold Coast holiday.

The consolation prizes are a pair of Spotters sunglasses and Parker pens.
