Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

"That's a good-looking bunch of people right there!" - Rob

Today's contestants:
Henry Dean
Chris Moore (female)
Daniel Johnston (returning with $700 in prizes)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

PLACE

Henry solves NORTHERN IRELAND.

That's a good-looking bunch of prizes right there. Henry will now start with a Saas sports steering wheel, an Aironic air conditioner, or 4 Victory curtains and blinds.

Henry starts with the blinds.

That's an even better BONUS, we think! How would you like to win a Mistral blanket and heating system?

The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.

PHRASE

Daniel solves TO BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES and is halfway to a car.

We're out of trouble for a moment, and we give Daniel time to pick a mulcher/mower, a Coinwatch man's watch, or a Tosca handbag collection.

Daniel picks the watch.

We have to batten down some hatches ourselves! Rob gives the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 310.

Chris solves SHANE AND BRETT LEE.

Well, no more trouble from a bad spin, at least? Just money and prizes now, including a pair of Waterman pens, a Seagull pewter table accessories set, or a handyman work centre for Chris.

She's taking the table accessories.

Rob plugs the Cash Car & Stars giveaway after the break. A home viewer could win a Proton Satria GTI worth $27,690!

OCCUPATION

Henry solves MATHEMATICIAN.

We'll take a break from the calculations so Henry can pick a 7-night Gold Coast holiday, a Tasco telescope, or a Whirlpool top load washing machine.

Rob twists Henry's arm, and he ends with the holiday.

The consolation prizes are a Danoz Direct picnic set and Parker Pens.

BONUS ROUND:

With the money adding up, Daniel has a better chance to win a major prize! Here are a few of them:

Home fitness centre

Crystal-clear above-ground pool

Proton Satria GL ($13,990)

We won't be subtracting any cash from that $3,800 Jackpot.

We'll mix the 3,255 with Daniel's 3,100 from yesterday, and 6,355 will give him five consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Landmark Resort Sunshine Coast holiday ($3,650)

We shout "Take two!" with another puzzle.

Somehow, that's not enough to solve QUENTIN TARANTINO, whom he's never heard of (to Rob's disbelief). Daniel still lives another day tomorrow!
