This is the 21st-Anniversary State Challenge, on Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
We have over $100,000 in prizes to be won, including a South Pacific cruise and a Proton Satria GTi!
Here come three contestants from Victoria for Heat 3, with each contestant playing for their own home viewer!
The contestants are:
Brent Nathan
Tanya Soutar
Denny Lammers
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
And we were having so much fun with Nathan. Rob will now give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 385.
Brent: "L for lubricant." (DUD!) (The audience laughs uncontrollably.)
Tanya: K (DUD!)
Denny: N (x2) (Lucky N!) (1,735)
Brent: H (1,880)
BONUS ROUND:
With 5,010, Denny gets three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
5-night Coconut Beach Resort holiday
The final puzzle is...
RSYC, and O gives him a good vowel and one other letter.
