Kate solves SCREEN SAVER. Rob runs back for the prize card, which he didn't think of grabbing before. 
Let's save your TV screen with some shots of a Canon home office, a Danoz Direct shaving package, and a Mistral kitchen appliance set. Which does Kate want?
She wants kitchen appliances!

Deb solves THE CIDER HOUSE RULES.
We don't think Deb will ever have to worry about the breadline. She can add a complete camping package, a blue Epoch violin, or a Bunnings $500 hardware voucher to her pile of things.
She'll add the hardware voucher.

Kate solves SLANG FOR CARPENTER. We can upgrade her score with an extra 200 for answering the clue.
She answers chippie for the money, even though she wasn't sure.
It's bizarre that nobody would choose the S. Not so bizarre that Kate will have to choose a Zepter coffee set, a Triton workbench, and a pair of Waterman pens.
Kate picks the workbench for her husband.

Kate solves SALT LAKE CITY.
It's a pat on the back for unseating a champion, though we don't know if Kate would really pat herself with a Canberra and winery holiday, a Thor 5 kg washing machine, or a Schotts Zwiesel glassware set.
Just as a prize, Kate is taking a washing machine.

Tony's wishing he could've made a fortune earlier. He and Deb will receive a Joe Boxer sleepwear collection and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.
Deb going home with so many prizes, to the value of $16,949!

She guesses AS SILLY AS A GEEK, and she does not solve AS SLOW AS A WET WEEK. Kate stays at $2,720 in prizes but will come back, and maybe she'll end the week in a silly way.
