We're not giving her only half a prize from these three! Kim must take the whole Weber kettle BBQ, Scholastic CD-ROM package, or jewellery collection.

Kim solves ? ISLAND ? OF THE ROAD ? ARTHUR. She'll find an extra 200 if she fills in the blank.
She's silent. The blank is King.
She still has to wait longer before hitting the road in a new car. Right now, she may pick an Apollo mountain bike, a Driza-Bone jacket and sweater, or a Hitachi power tools set.
Kim can't decide between a prize for herself or her future husband. After a moment, she picks the jacket.

Kim solves MADONNA AMERICAN PIE.
If Kim's going to keep doing that, should we call these "romantic" prizes? It depends on what we'd think of a computerised sewing machine, a pewter tableware package, and a Whirlpool 26-litre microwave.
Regardless, Kim is taking the microwave.

And so the Proton rolls away. Rob gives the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 295.
(Rob is sorry about that one, as he almost hit BANKRUPT and could've tried for a better number.)

Mick now solves FAST AND FURIOUS.
We suppose it's only fair that Mick could take something. That something will be Coffex coffee with a Cimbali machine, a Proteus treadmill, or an 88-piece cutlery set.
Mick leaves with a treadmill.

But she can't get the other important word. She says A WET WEEKEND and fails to solve A WET BLANKET. Kim will still be able to try again tomorrow!
