We're ready to colour the studio with these these prizes: a Dorling Kindersley Olympic book collection, a Toyota sewing machine, or a Conti Moda jewellery and bag pair.
Kellie picks the sewing machine.

Kellie guesses ? PEN ? RAMP ? NET. Rob wasn't sure he heard the first word properly.
Darko solves ? PIN ? RAMP ? NET to lock in the wedge. He could net a bonus 200 if he fells fills in the blank!
He has no idea, so he'll guess wheel. It was actually safety.
We have to take a break from the Wheel anyway, because it's time for Darko to pick a Tissot lady's bracelet watch, an Echo brush cutter, or men's personal products.
Darko takes the brush cutter.

Actually, only vowels are left, so Darko just solves MARGARET COURT.
But we still have plenty of time to offer him another prize, which will be a Royal Selangor goblet set, an internet and e-mail phone, or a Eurolec globe cafe/BBQ.
Darko wants the barbie.
