Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Lisa Nolan
Con Castaneous (male)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, we've got a SURPRISE on the Wheel, and here's our first puzzle.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is TO HAVE A CLOSE CALL.
Close calls with our BONUS space are common, but we want someone to hit it and pick up a pair of Coinwatch his-and-hers watches!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
Belinda solves JIM CARREY MAN ON THE MOON.
We begin our next round.
