Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Lisa Nolan (returning with $42,521 in prizes)
Sarah Hope
Bernie Millman
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 ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END.
Our list of BONUS prizes never ends, and today, we've picked a Linen House bed and bathroom accessory package.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
We've been debating about it, but we've decided that Rob should give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 310.
Lisa: D (DUD!)
Sarah: Y (1,940)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is BALLERINA.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 220, and Lisa begins.
Lisa: T (1,175)
Sarah: H (220)
BONUS ROUND:
Lisa lives here now, having taken $42,895 worth (still behind a $64,000 record), and she's looking at some more major prizes.
Home workout centre
Custom-made golf clubs
Guava lady's clothing selection ($4,000)
14-day Adelaide/Outback holiday ($4,194)
Proton Persona XLI ($18,690)
We let that Jackpot grow to $2,200 again!
We add 2,455 to her previous 4,685 for 7,140, and this gives Lisa five consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
4-night Captain Cook Great Barrier Reef cruise ($5,560)

Lisa picks the hair care.

He does. We are at the Parliament.
Order, please! We need silence so that Bernie can accept an Apollo 21-speed mountain bike, a Jager cosmetics and watch collection, or a Fujifilm camera package.
Believe it or not, Bernie wants a mountain bike!

Sarah solves GOT TICKETS ON YOURSELF.
So it's just another solve, is it? Sarah can still be proud of herself for winning a Creola lady's jewellery collection, some Zepter compact cookware, or a J.G. Durand crystalware set.
Sarah has won a crystalware set.

Sarah quickly solves THE GREEN MILE.
Maybe she just wanted it to be over since she was behind at the bell. Sarah still finishes with a Thor front load washing machine, 10 Victory curtains and blinds, or a Burleigh Calico dinner set for 8.
She's taking home the dinner set.
