Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Fiona Vautier
Michael Pearson
Helen Bryson (returning with about $6,000 in prizes)
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?
It does go without saying that we need a BONUS, and we'll make this one a Decor household plastic products collection.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
Helen solves ? GARDEN ? CLIMBERS ? CANDY. She made up for an earlier loss, and she can add 200 more if she fills in the blank. She has a look of terror on her face...
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
That lost turn might not matter, because Rob has to give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 310.
Fiona: M (DUD!)
Michael: R (x2) (460)
Helen: P (DUD!)
Fiona: G (DUD!)
Michael: C (DUD!)
Helen: F (Lucky F!) (1,930)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 510, and Fiona begins.
Fiona: S (x2) (820)
Michael: R (970)
Helen: N (x3) (510)
Fiona: T (DUD!)
Michael: X (DUD!) (Rob laughs at that choice.)
Helen: I (510)
Fiona: H (DUD!)
Michael: M (DUD!)
Helen: L (1,020)
BONUS ROUND:
Five prizes from this game alone, but why not add a sixth? Helen's major prize could be a Daewoo Nubira worth $20,990!
With 4,250, Helen may choose four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

...and all she can think of is vegetable. It's actually rock. Anyone up for vegetable climbing?
That was the scary part. Or is she even more afraid to decide from a Coinwatch lady's watch set, a glassware collection, or a Yashica Zoomate camera?
Helen picks the camera, and she also has the BONUS that she picked up.

Helen also wants the cruise and holiday. Two trips in one round!
