Today's contestants:
Rob Dible
Anita Bakemantis
Kim Gates (returning with about $1,000 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?
We place the BONUS on a wheel so round that stone age men would be jealous. The prize is a Scholastic and National Geographic software package!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
"You're kidding." We're that short on time, so Rob must give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 230.
Anita: Q (230)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Our host will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 265, and Rob gets to call a letter. The contestant, that is.
Rob: T (2,275)
Anita: S (x3) (265)
Kim: L (265)
BONUS ROUND:
One Rob wants to award a major prize. Another Rob wants to win a major prize. Both will look at these:
Pair of Raymond Weil Swiss-made timepieces ($6,199)
Tri Series by Rosieres 3-in-1 cooktop/oven/dishwasher ($3,195)
Proton Waja ($27,990)
With 3,285, Rob may pick three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
William Edwards Billiard solid wood dining table ($3,900)
He won't let this puzzle scare him.
TRS, and E could reveal a lot. Let's see...
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Sophie is wearing special ears for Save the Koala Month! She says you can also buy stickers and even sponsor a koala yourself!
(Rob first thought that Sophie looked like she came from the Playboy Mansion.)

Rob solves THE FLINTSTONES LIVE HERE. He can grab an extra 200 by answering the clue.
And he does with Bedrock. (He says "Bedrock City" which is acceptable.)
These are far from "stone age" prizes, but at "stone age" prices (making them free). Rob picks from a Yashica Zoomate camera, a cosmetics collection, and a Schott Zwiesel glassware set.
Rob wants the glassware.
