Airdate: July 3, 2000
Today's contestants:
Ian Johnson (returning with $1,825 in prizes)
Mike Lali
Janice Pettersson
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
We're good, as Ian needs a new microwave.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is THE GHOST WHO WALKS.
Do you know how much we spent on our BONUS prize? Make it count and win a Warner Vision Olympic video collection!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Even without "Cash & Car", we're still running out of time. Rob gives the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 660.
Mike: W (1,850)
Mike solves SUMO WRESTLING.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is MUSICAL CHAIRS.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 510, and Ian has the first turn.
Ian: M (870)
Mike: T (510)
Janice: S (1,630)
BONUS ROUND:
Time for Ian to roll up his sleeves...or maybe just to show he has the brains for this major prize:
Attractive watches
A renovated bathroom
Driclad above-ground pool ($4,220)
Hilton Vienna Plaza holiday ($10,813)
Proton Persona XLI ($19,490)
He has another chance at a cash Jackpot, now worth $7,200!
We add 2,530 and the previous 3,145 to give Ian 5,675, so now he'll try four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
6-day Mount Buffalo Chalet ski holiday ($4,500)
Those letters could make this puzzle easier.
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Cash & Car is done, but the Olympic Torch relay continues! The relay is now in Manjimup! Rob might not have heard of it.

Ian solves NOT A RED CENT.
Luckily for Ian, we won't charge him for these prizes. Does he even want a Tissot gent's watch, a Proteus exercise bike, or a JNL microwave?
We're good, as Ian needs a new microwave.

Ian solves THE CURRENCY OF JAPAN. We can exchange later, but for now, he's taking 200 from us if he answers the clue.
Time to exchange! It's the yen.
Let's remember that we paid for these prizes in dollars. Ian is looking at a skin care products package, a Microsoft reference suite, and a Linen House bed and bath package.
Ian will take the linens.

He successfully wrestles our next prize away from Ian. Mike's getting a Nachtmann glassware set, a Minelab metal detector ("sensational"), or a selection of Apollo window blinds.

Janice solves TASMANIAN DEVIL.
She's a quick devil, isn't she? We didn't think Janice would take a portable gas heater, Tommy Armour golf clubs, or a Villa Thalgo weekend of pampering that early!
Janice will take the pampering holiday.
