CLUE

Judith solves KNOWN AS THE BIG APPLE. She'll find an extra 200 if she can answer the clue.

The "Big Apple" is indeed New York.

The teacher Judith has been learning a lot of things. Soon, she'll learn about one of a car protection package, a Driza-Bone leathergoods collection, or a Fujifilm camera with tripod, film, and case.

Judith will hear about a camera.

We begin our next round.

Round 3

PHRASE

Judith	Jeremy	DAN
		275
		660: T (x3) -50: E (x2) BANKRUPT! (885)
	1,665
375: H (x2) -50: O (x2) BANKRUPT! (325)	375: N (x3) -50: I (x2) 385: S (DUD!)
	1,990

PHRASE

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

That's how we learn we're running late. Rob gives the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 385.

Dan: L (x2) (385)

PHRASE

Dan solves NOT FOR ALL THE TEA IN CHINA.

We couldn't get some extra time to spin for that. We can still get a prize for Dan, and it'll be a Royal Selangor tea set, a Furitechnics knife set, or a computer/office desk.

Dan wants a "full package" with a tea set. He just needs a table and chairs.

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!

Round 4

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 220, and Judith will begin.

Judith: T (x3) (220)
Jeremy: H (x2) (2,210)
Dan: S (DUD!)
Judith: R (440)

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Judith solves THE WHITE RABBIT and is hopping to the final!

There's one more piece of business before she starts jumping. Judith will look at a 5-night Barossa Valley holiday, a Royal Selangor table accessory set, and a CityBug electric scooter.

Judith gets the holiday.

The consolation prizes are a Reader's Digest book collection and Parker Pens.

Dan doesn't quite have a "full package", but he still leaves with plenty of prizes.

BONUS ROUND:

Judith's imagination could run wild after looking at some of our major prizes:

Golf package

Island getaway in Vanuatu

Lanark Spa Pools red cedar portable spa ($3,700)

7-night Pinnacle Valley Resort holiday ($3,880)
Proton Persona XLI ($18,690)

And anything goes with a $4,100 cash Jackpot!

With 2,365, Judith begins with just three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Lanark Spa Pools red cedar portable spa

Her final puzzle will be...

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

Not much up there, but maybe plenty from TRN, and O.

PHRASE

She says TO BE ON YOUR...but can't get the last word. It was TO BE ON YOUR TOES. Judith still has about $2,500 in prizes and another chance at a "spa party" tomorrow.
