Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Michelle DeFeiner
Geoff Masters (returning with $22,837 including a car!)
Peter Brown
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Michelle finally solves STEGOSAURUS.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is PENDULUM CLOCK.
We can stare at that pendulum all day, or we can get moving and add a BONUS of a Yashica Zoomate 80 camera.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Speaking of discontent, this is the time to make Rob give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 230, and Peter begins.
Peter: R (250)
Michelle: L (Lucky L!) (460)
Geoff: N (1,470)
Peter: S (480)
Michelle: T (x2) (690)
Geoff: C (1,700)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is EDINBURGH CASTLE.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 385, and Michelle begins.
Michelle: S (1,075)
Geoff: C (DUD!)
Peter: M (385)
Michelle: N (x3) (1,460)
Geoff still leaves with an impressive $22,990 in prizes.
BONUS ROUND:
We don't know if Michelle will repeat Geoff's success from yesterday, but she's in better shape for any of these prizes:
Samoan holiday
A coordinated bathroom renovation
Proton Persona XLI ($20,390)
She could always outdo Geoff by winning a $5,600 Jackpot.
With 5,100, Michelle may have a little extra from four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Guava lady's clothing selection ($4,000)
Let's "dress up" this puzzle with some letters.

I guess they're just too young for a puzzle like this. But it's solved, and Michelle can now take a Driza-Bone vest and sweater, a Mistral kitchen appliance set, or a $400 The Athlete's Foot voucher.
Michelle takes the shoe voucher.

Michelle solves NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT.
Now is the time for a cooldown. Michelle has done enough spinning, so let's give her a Zepter skincare package, a Rejman lawn maintenance system, or a Royal Selangor Camelot chess set.
Michelle picks the lawn maintenance system for her nanna.

Peter guesses THE CHARLESTON. He's correct.
I guess he's not too young for that puzzle? Either way, he's finally picking a Waterman pen set (not a "pet set"), a J.G. Durand crystalware collection, or a Zepter coffee set.
Peter wants the coffee set.

Michelle solves NELSON MANDELA.
She's a pretty good solver! We'll see what happens later, but for now, she adds a Proteus treadmill, a 1-year United International movie pass, or a Raymond Weil lady's Tango watch.
Michelle's getting a watch.
