Lillian Lyon
Neil Smith (returning with $6,000 in prizes)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
We need to be busy giving away BONUS prizes such as this one, a Retravision Micro-Furnace room heater!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
BONUS ROUND:
Well, no prize sweep for Ian, but what we really want is for him to win a major prize! Let's look at a few:
Custom made set of golf clubs
Daintree Forest holiday
8-day Whitsunday Island cruise ($6,660)
Pair of Raymond Weil 18-karat gold watches ($6,924)
Proton Satria GL ($13,990)
We see a $7,100 Jackpot somewhere on the Golden Wheel!
With 3,145, Ian will try to solve with three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Henry Griffitts golf clubs, bag, accessories, and fitting session ($4,000)
This puzzle won't sink him.
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Sadly, Sophie couldn't be here today- just kidding. She's here. She's actually wearing a bindi between her brows!
The Olympic Torch is still moving as usual, and now it's in Broome!

Ian solves TO BE IN BUSINESS.
And now he's busy winning some prizes, at least he plans to. Ian starts with a Tosca luggage collection, an EA Sports PlayStation game pack, or a Toyota sewing machine.
Ian picks the sewing machine.

Ian solves THE FORWARD PART OF A SHIP. He'll also move forward with an extra 200 if he can answer the clue.
He says bow, and Rob thinks that's wrong, but he actually got it right. (Rob was thinking about the "stern".)
Just for that, we wonder if Rob should personally pay for an Australis kayak, a 6-month United International movie pass, or a Vax vacuum/cleaning system for Ian.
Ian takes the "canoe", actually a kayak, but at no charge for Rob.

Rob just read that Ian is a naval engineer, so he'd better know his boats! And yet, he can't tell a canoe from a kayak. 
We begin our next round.

Perfection! Ian solves MARKET RESEARCHER.
He'll need to research what that is in the future. At this moment, he'll look at our prize market and pick a Stanley Rogers 44-piece cutlery set, a computer work centre, or a Dentons bedding package.
Ian wants a bedding package.

The bell sounds, but only vowels remain, so Lillian just solves TASMAN SEA.
She deserved something after Ian just wouldn't let go. Lillian can have a 7-night Melbourne holiday, an Auto Telecom home office system, or a Schott Zwiesel glassware set.
Lillian is going on a holiday!
