The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and you could also win our SURPRISE! Here's our first puzzle.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is EWAN MCGREGOR.
Tony could call a friend to say he just won a BONUS of a Royal Selangor "Moods & Memories" glass and pewter tableware set!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?

Tony solves CROSS-STITCH. He started by saying "criss" before catching himself, but his solve is accepted.
He almost had us in stitches, but Tony got through this, and he's grabbing a Kookaburra sporting package, a pair of Omni phones, or a Dorling Kindersley family reference library.
Tony wants the phone package.

Georgina reads what's on the board. You could hear the light bulb over her head, so maybe she'll add 200 by filling in the blank.
She can! The blank is head.
So she couldn't get a head start, but Georgina didn't need it to claim the Surprise! She's just won a Great Keppel Island holiday worth $3,300!
And of course, with that solve, Georgina can pick a Tissot diver's watch, an Aironic air conditioner, and a Dr. LeWinn's skin care package.
She'll throw in the skin care.
