Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Lyn Perri (returning champion and car winner!)
Jo Bauer
David Miller

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

Round 1

PHRASE

LYN	Jo	David
Free Spin! 150: S (x2) Free Spin! 150: N 165: L 275: P 275: C 110: T Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
1,125

PHRASE

Perfection! Lyn solves AT A SNAIL'S PACE.

Was she worried that this puzzle would slow her down? It's finished, so Lyn may now grab a Coinwatch watch and pendant, a Denver 10-pin bowling package, or a Wiltshire garden tools collection.

Lyn takes a watch and pendant.

Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?

Puzzler A

The answer is BUDDY HOLLY PEGGY SUE.

Can you grab our BONUS any quicker than a snail? Only today can you win a Pilivuyt French dinnerware collection.

The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.

FILL IN THE BLANK

Lyn solves LITTLE MISS MUFFET SAT ON A ?. She'll sit on an extra 200 if she can fill in the blank.

She completes it with the word tuffet.

And after that, we know she won't be frightened away. Time to relax and pick a Dentons bedding package, a Tommy Armour golf club set, or a Driza-Bone leathergoods collection!

Lyn throws in a golf club set.

We might ask Lyn to keep "as quiet as a mouse" while David looks at a Royal Selangor gold accent goblet set, a Zepter coffee set, and a La-Z-Boy rocker recliner.

David picks the recliner.

BEFORE & AFTER

Lyn solves TOMATO SOUP KITCHEN.

We know that Lyn won't be one to beg when facing the choice of 10 Victory curtains and blinds, a Tasco telescope, or a 7-night Club Crocodile holiday.

We'll be sending Lyn on a holiday!

Watch/pendant Golf clubs Dinnerware Club Crocodile		Recliner

Ow. What a time for Jo (and "lazy boy" David) to receive Zepter International kitchen utensils and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

Can Lyn do it twice? If one car is enough, we still have other great major prizes available!

Luxurious holiday in Samoa
Stainless steel European kitchen appliances
"Another" Proton Satria GL ($13,990)
Or with that second car, she could go further with a $3,000 Jackpot win!

With 4,895, Lyn has an even better chance with four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Andi European Stainless steel kitchen appliances ($4,960)

We've cooked up this puzzle for her:

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

She might do even better than last time with TNSL, and O.

PHRASE

She instantly solves COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS to keep the appliances! This brings Lyn to $25,324 in prizes, and of course, she can play again! It's "too easy".
