Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Clara Tatiotian (returning champion)
Deb Keane
Albert Concha
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?
The answer is KALEIDOSCOPE.
You're not having strange visions. That's a real BONUS space which will award someone an Artex Leathergoods collection.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is TO TAKE A DIFFERENT VIEW.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob can't convince Albert to spin again, and he solves INSTANT COFFEE. But we can't stay up all night for this.
BONUS ROUND:
Could Deb use a cup of coffee before the final puzzle? She'll need to be alert so she can win a major prize such as...
Home workout centre
5-night South Molle Island Resort holiday ($3,890)
Niagara Therapy Australian-made queen-size bed ($7,945)
Proton Persona GLI Aeroback ($15,990)
Now about a cup of cash? Deb could win a $3,600 Jackpot!
At 3,105, Deb will take what she can with three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Infiniti lady's and gent's golf sets ($3,460)
Score a birdie with this puzzle!

Clara quickly solves TONY BENNETT.
She just needed that first prize right now, even though she's the champ. We start with a Creola jewellery set, a Cyclone garden tools package, or Schott Zwiesel glassware.
Clara picks the garden tools.

Clara reads what's on the board. She could use the extra 200, and she'll take it if she can fill in the blank.
She thinks it's golden. That might have worked, but we wanted mother.
Now, silence is golden for the audience as we need Clara to pick another prize. Next is Zepter stainless steel cookware, a Tissot diver's watch, and an Australis 9-foot kayak.
Clara adds some cookware.

Deb solves AS BROWN AS A BERRY.
I guess our mother wouldn't want us to get burned by this game. Deb may now have a home software library, 8 Victory curtains and blinds, or a Cristal J.G. Durand 24-piece crystal set.
Deb will have a crystal set.

Rob can't convince Albert to spin again, and he solves INSTANT COFFEE. But we can't stay up all night for this.
We can stay up just long enough for Albert to pick his prize. Are you awake, Albert? Pick a dinner set, a Gold Coast 10-night holiday, or a Thor 5 kg washing machine!
Albert gets a holiday.
