Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
John Johnson (returning champion)
Peter Amurrio

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 TO BE LIKE A DOG WITH TWO TAILS.
That's exactly how we'll feel when somebody wins our BONUS! It's a collection of six Trevor Opray prints from Country Looks Healesville!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
That second round certainly played a part in this. Rob will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 430.
Lyn: O (2,605)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is JACK AND JILL.

With only the P missing, everyone was shocked at Lyn's M call. Even Rob said the viewers spat out their dinner.
Not like he should've bothered after this, but Rob also reset the Wheel to ask if John wanted to use his Free Spin after the V. John declined.

Peter is bringing home a linen collection.

Lyn solves TREES CANOPY FERNS. Falling from the tree is an extra 200 that she can catch if she knows where we are.
Her guess of botanical gardens is acceptable. (The actual answer is forest.)
She may now catch one of our prizes from the trees! Lyn will reach for a Husqvarna sewing machine, an Sant' Andrea 56-piece cutlery set, or a garden care package!
She reaches for the cutlery set.

John solves SAN ANDREAS FAULT. He pronounces the second word like "Andrea's", but it's okay.
We don't care how you pronounce any of these prizes. You just need to pick a Schott Zwiesel glassware set, an Auto Telecom phone system, or a CityBug electric scooter.
John takes the telecom system.
