Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Daniel Johnston
Len Wiltshire (returning champion)
Chrysanthe White
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Rob plugs the Cash Car & Stars giveaway after the break. A home viewer could win a Proton Satria GTI worth $27,690!
The answer to the last puzzle was DOG ON THE TUCKER BOX. Today's puzzle is:
Somebody could probably spare some "pocket change" for this BONUS: a Dorling Kindersley Silver Classic Millennium book collection.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Already? That doesn't make a lot of sense, but Rob will still give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 310, and Chrysanthe will begin.
Chrysanthe: R (x2) (310)
Daniel: T (2,185)
Len: S (310)
Chrysanthe: N (x2) (620)
Daniel: L (2,495)
Len: K (620)
Chrysanthe: C (930)

Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 295, and Daniel starts.
Daniel: N (x2) (295)
Len: R (DUD!)
Chrysanthe: D (x2) (1,225)
Chrysanthe solves SAMSON AND DELILAH.
BONUS ROUND:
Daniel might have an easier time here, as he just needs to solve a puzzle for a major prize:
With 3,100, Daniel is allowed three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Prouds jewellery selection ($4,000)
Here's a nice short puzzle for him to solve:
STR, and E don't reveal much (he said R first, and Rob cleared it up), but maybe he doesn't need much?

Len solves MORE DOLLARS THAN SENSE.
We believe one of these prizes would make sense for Len, so it's time to look at Danoz Direct his-and-hers shaving, a Canon home office, and a Chief cast cookware collection.
Len picks the cookware.
