Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Pam Karen
Raaz Sarhi
Adrian Firmini (returning with $10,272 in prizes)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is LORD CHANCELLOR.
That Wheel can keep on spinning after we've added a BONUS to the Wheel, and someone can land on a 36-piece Schott Zwiesel crystal glassware collection.
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?
The answer is DARK CLOUDS ON THE HORIZON.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Raaz: R (295)
Adrian: T (1,250)
Pam: S (295)
Raaz: E (295)
Adrian: B (1,545)
Pam: L (DUD!)
Raaz: M (590)
Adrian: F (1,840)
BONUS ROUND:
Even without a "lucky letter", Raaz still would've made it here. Now let's think about these prizes:
Swiss-made watches
Western Australian holiday
8-day Whitsunday Island cruise ($6,660)
Proton Satria GTI ($27,690)
He might also be thinking about a $4,900 Jackpot!
But with 4,820, that red letter scored Raaz four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Pair of Rado Swiss-made sapphire and crystal watches ($4,100)

Pam solves EAST CHINA SEA.
Sophie's been doing enough travelling at that board, so we'll give her a break, and Pam can pick a Kookaburra sporting package, a Weber BBQ, or a Scholastic CD-ROM software collection.
Pam picks the CDs.

Perfection! Raaz solves WORLD'S LARGEST CONTINENT. Let's throw in a tiny bonus of 200 after he answers the clue.
He think it's Asia, and he's correct.
He can think about our largest prizes after winning the game. Right now, we'll stick to something small like an Australis 9-foot kayak, a car care product package, and a Driza-Bone jacket and sweater.
Raaz doesn't know why, but he likes the kayak.

Adrian solves BEST MAN FRIDAY.
He couldn't last until Friday (or beyond that), but Adrian can take home one more prize. How about 10 Victory curtains and blinds, a Mikasa dinnerware setting, or a Minelab metal detector?
Adrian ends with the metal detector.
