Today's contestants:
Jennifer Martin
Michelle DeFeiner (returning with $6,140 in prizes)
Michael Dann
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 THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK.
Michelle is already comfortable here, and she may know how to spin our BONUS of a Star Wars - The Phantom Menace clothing range from Coast Clothing Co.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
It's finally time for Michael to have a go.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
BONUS ROUND:
Only one round was enough. Michael is very much alive to play for a major prize like these:
4-night Great Barrier Reef cruise
Therapeutic massage bed
King and Lady Cobra golf sets ($5,315)
5-night Yarra Valley holiday ($6,650)
Proton Satria XLI ($17,290)
If only we could give him the $5,700 Jackpot without even spinning.
With 3,715, Michael gets three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
4-night Captain Cook Great Barrier Reef cruise ($5,560)
Let's see if he can solve another puzzle:
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Tomorrow, this show will be celebrating it's 4,000th episode!
And the Olympic Torch relay has moved again, now in Coolangatta! (The chyron does not appear on the screen.)

Rob thought Jennifer's spin would stop on Lose A Turn, but it just clicked over to 750. "Just didn't wanna stop! It's very well oiled."

Jennifer isn't taking any more chances, and she solves HOTEL RECEPTIONIST for a perfect round.
Well, perfect except for missing the lucky H.
She'll want to make herself comfortable after that close call. Will we serve her a JNL microwave oven grill, a Nokia 3210 digital phone, or a Royal Selangor wine accessory kit?
We'll give Jennifer the wine accessories.

Double perfection! Michelle solves THE LONGEST RIVER IN THE WORLD. Actually, this one can be truly perfect if she scores 200 by answering the clue.
Her geography's no good, and she guesses Murray, and everyone laughs. The longest is the Nile.
Lucklly, Michelle hasn't been waiting the longest time to play. She's ready for $500 in garden lighting, a camping package, or a Tosca handbag collection.
Michelle wants some handbags.

Jennifer solves CHINESE LANTERN.
This could get dangerous between the two scorers. Jennifer won't think about that, and instead she'll take a Furitechnics knife set, a Gatineau skin care collection, or Royal Selangor pewter goblets.
Jennifer says the knives will get a lot of use in her house.

He can't figure this out, though we get another laugh with TO BE UP THE CREEK on the buzzer. It's TO BE IN THE MONEY, but Michael might do that on the next show and add to his $2,780 in prizes.
