The buzzer sounds on the A, but Rob knows it's there.
As Manuel is an expert on bacteria, he uses some for his letter picks. It's "Educational Wheel" today! Too bad he can't think of any bacteria that start with O.

Deb solves THE ARTIST WHO CUT OFF AN EAR. We'll show her an extra 200 if she can answer the clue!
She scores the extra money with Vincent Van Gogh.
Deb is gonna be happy that she doesn't have to trade an ear for a prize! We'll just give her a Zepter jewellery range, a pair of Omni phones, or a Dentons bedding package.
Deb gets a free bedding package.

Deb takes a wild guess of NOTTINGHAM. "Yeah." Manuel also knew it. Very eerie, isn't it?
This time, Deb wins not only the race, but also the game! She'll now reach for a Bowin gas heater, a Whirlpool washing machine, or a Video Ezy DVD player with 1 year of movies.
Deb's kids want a DVD player, or she's not coming home.
