With 3,675, Adrian picks three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
8-day Whitsunday Island cruise ($6,660)

Adrian solves TORONTO MOUNTIES MOOSE. We'll top it off with 200 more if Adrian knows where we are. Rob almost forgets about this bonus!
Good thing for the reminder, because Adrian knows we're in Canada.
Now for the prizes! Adrian must choose a Bistro classic cookware collection, a Triton handyman workbench, or a car care products package.
He'll have the cookware.

Dorothy solves STEVEN KING ISLAND.
Wouldn't it be funny if Dorothy gets the fondue set! Actually, her choice is an AEG dishwasher, a 5-night South Australia holiday, or a Tommy Armour golf club set.
Dorothy takes home a dishwasher.

The consolation prizes are a Conair compact spa system and Parker Pens...though Dorothy doesn't have a bathtub. Shower, perhaps?
Nick leaves with the wine set and his prizes from earlier.

Queen-sized massage bed
Pair of Rado ceramic Swiss-made watches ($4,100)
14-day Adelaide/Outback holiday ($4,194)Proton Satria GTI ($27,690)

8-day Whitsunday Island cruise ($6,660)
