Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.

It would be phenomenal to win a Cabriolet saloon car and a £10,000 cash fortune!

Our contestants are in their twenties, and they are:

Michelle Horgan: Cricket player, from Sheffield
Sat (Last name unclear?): Engaged to be married, from Wellingborough
Debbie Ventrell: Works for a hologram company, from Washington Tyne

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000, and speaking of twenties, you'll want to reach the high-scoring twenties! But first, you must buzz in!

Round 1

SINGER AND SONG

Question: What was the name of King Arthur's magic sword?
Michelle: Excalibur (Correct!)

MICHELLE	Sat	Debbie
400: T (x2) 600: S (x3) 600: R (x2) 150: D 750: G (x2) 450: B (x2) Solve: Correct!
6,350

"G for giraffe", and Nicky wasn't sure if that's how you spell giraffe.

SINGER AND SONG

Perfection! Michelle solves STATUS QUO BURNING BRIDGES.

Just score points, and don't turn back! You'll also score prizes like a chesterfield bed/settee, a ready computer, or a mahogany finish display unit.

Michelle starts with a bed/settee.

Bed/settee

Don't you turn around with that second BANKRUPT. Just move forward with that second 1,000 space! And again, score prizes like a solid silver necklace, bracelet, and earrings! This time, we have a token on 750 and this puzzle:

Round 2

PHRASE

Question: Who is the MP for Huntingdon?
Sat: John Major (Correct!)

Michelle	SAT	Debbie
	200: S (x2) BANKRUPT! (400)	450: R (x3) 200: T (x3) 600: N (x2) BANKRUPT! (3,150)

Lose A Turn!	450: L (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!

300: V Solve: Correct!
300

"You pushed it, didn't you?" Debbie accuses Nicky of pushing her too far to spin a BANKRUPT. Nicky has his solicitors ready to protect him.

And on Michelle's second spin, she manages to break a spoke off the Wheel. At first, Nicky had no idea where that came from.

PHRASE

Michelle solves IT NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS.

Just for what she did to the Wheel, we'll send her a bill for one of a jogging machine, a trip to Lisbon, or an exercise bike.

Michelle "purchases" a jogging machine.

Along with an third 1,000 space, two decades calls for two times the points! You could also win one Star Prize, a leather fancy case including designer cosmetics! Our token is placed on 400, and our next puzzle is:

Round 3

TELEVISION

Question: In Chess, which piece can move only one square at a time (interrupted)

Debbie: King (Correct!)

Nicky was going to say "but in any direction", but Debbie didn't need it.

Michelle	Sat	DEBBIE
		BANKRUPT! (0)

PRIZE! 400: T (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! (0)	900: S Lose A Turn!
		1,800
300: N Lose A Turn!	400: R (x2) 200: M (DUD!)	Solve: Correct!
600	1,600	2,800

TELEVISION

Debbie solves WIN LOSE OR DRAW.

Finally, a win for Debbie! She can never lose those points, and she may draw one of our prizes. Steve presents a pine bookcase with 12 CDs, a Hi-Fi system with CD player, and a TV and video set.

Debbie takes the bookcase.

Debbie takes the time to plug a rock band that she's in, and she's a saxophone and flute player. She also sings and plays some tambourine, a little keyboard, and she's the "glamour of the group". It's her and six boys, and the band is also available to play in parties, birthdays, or weddings, at very cheap rates. Nicky can hardly believe all the "free advertising".

We can't top Debbie's "advertisement", but we don't need to when we can offer you more points with another puzzle.

Round 4

OCCUPATION

Question: What does the Statue of Liberty hold in her right hand?
Michelle: Torch (Correct!)

MICHELLE	Sat	Debbie
400: R (x2) 400: S (DUD!)	400: T 150: M Free Spin! 450: L (DUD!)	450: N (x2) 500: P (DUD!)
1,600	1,100	1,800
Lose A Turn!
1,600

OCCUPATION

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Nicky will now give the Wheel a spin, though he won't join in on all the lost points. Instead, consonants are worth 450 doubled.

Sat: D (DUD!)
Debbie: C (2,200*) (She is currently 500 short)

OCCUPATION

Debbie solves MERCHANT BANKER.

And now for one last prize from Steve, the "merchant banker" himself! We finish with a classic coat collection with scarves, a trip to Scotland, or a pair of classic country outfits.

Debbie picks the trip to Scotland.

Bed/settee Jogging machine		Bookcase Scotland

Sat faced some tough competition, but he and the other still get a Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch.

BONUS ROUND:

It's time for the real party! Michelle can win a Cabriolet saloon and a £10,000 cash fortune!

The only thing left is to solve this last puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

LANDMARK

TRSLDE gets her halfway there.

LANDMARK

She solves THE MATTERHORN to keep the cash and car! And the bed/settee, and the jogging machine, and the souvenir watch.
