Today's contestants:
Matt Skinner (returning champion)
Bernard Kurlander
Katrina "Katie" Clements
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
It's time for the Cash Car & Stars puzzle! It's a home viewer's chance to win a Proton Satria GTI worth $27,990!
The answer to the last puzzle was HAMILTON ISLAND. Today's puzzle is:
It won't be a long story on how you won the BONUS. Just call a letter on the wedge, and you have a range of Korjo travel accessories!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Just in time! Now we'll let Rob will give the Wheel a spin...and consonants are worth 2,500! Okay, maybe Matt's not as safe as he thought.
Matt: M (x2) (6,280)
Bernard: N (x2) (3,440)
Katie: E (Rob thought there was no E in the puzzle.)
Matt: R (DUD!)
Bernard: L (Lucky L!) (8,440)
Katie: B (2,500)
BONUS ROUND:
Now we know why they sometimes save the red letter for last. Bernard's in good shape to win one of these major prizes:
With 8,870, Bernard instantly has six consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Prouds jewellery selection ($4,000)
We hope he's well equipped for this puzzle:
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
More travelling of the Olympic Torch, and it's in Katherine, as Sophie says to "Robert".

Katie solves ? BARON ? SEA ? CROSS. The puzzle doesn't make sense, does it? But she can take the lead with an extra 200 if she fills in the blank.
She moves ahead with Red.
A prize would make sense for Katie after figuring this puzzle out. She's won one of a Meyer cookware set, an Oneida 58-piece cutlery set, and a Triton handyman work centre.
Katie picks the handyman centre so Malcolm won't shoot her.
