Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is TO BE A PICTURE OF HEALTH.
We won't be getting any divine intervention over our BONUS. You'll have to stick with a Scala Leathergoods executive leather desk set!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
The Torch Relay for the Olympics has officially begun, and Sophie carries in her own "torch", which is just her microphone.

Janet tries to pull off the BONUS space, as she was looking at the wrong arrow when she hit 1,500. She thought she ruined the game, but Rob put the space back in the correct spot. Just for that, she buys an "I for idiot". Then she dudded with an M, and Rob said the bonus was never destined to be.

Dave solves ? SKIRT ? CIRCUIT ? STORY. Janet has a funny story, and Dave has 200 more if he fills in the blank.
He thinks it's short, and he has the extra money.
Let's switch off for a few minutes so that Dave can pick a Zepter cookware set, a Dentons bedding package, or a Tasco telescope.
Dave wants the cookware.
