Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

We update on the Olympic Torch relay, which is now in Kalgoorlie!

Today's contestants:
Elaine Richards
Feda Debar
Jim Hogg (returning champion)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

Round 1

PHRASE

ELAINE	Feda	Jim
220: T (x3) 200: N 155: K -50: E (x2) 155: S (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! (0)	220: R (x2) 120: D 155: F 120: G Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
525		615

PHRASE

Jim solves TO TAKE FOR GRANTED.

Don't take this opportunity for granted! Jim had to work to win his choice of a Nokia 3210 digital phone, a Victory curtains and blinds selection, or a Toyota sewing machine.

Jim wins the vertical blinds.

Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?

Puzzler A

NAME

The answer is LEONARDO DA VINCI.

Only one of these contestants can take the BONUS prize on our show, and today, it's a Tosca polyester luggage collection!

The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.

Round 2

CLUE

Elaine	FEDA	Jim

	310: S (x3) 530: T (x3) 430: H (x3) 230: N 310: P -50: E (x5) 150: R (x2) 310: W (x2) -50: A (x2) 660: D Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
525	2,830

CLUE

Perfection! Feda solves A PERSON WHO STUDIES THE WEATHER. If she's done her studying, she'll take 200 more by answering the clue.

She whispers meteorologist, but we couldn't clearly hear it. Rob heard it, so she gets the money.

We avoided the storm, and now Feda is clear to grab a Zepter jewellery collection, a family camping package, or a Ringgrip garden lighting set from us.

Feda grabs the garden lighting.

Elaine	Feda	Jim
525	3,030	615
	Garden lighting	Curtains/blinds

We begin our next round.

Why not make it a triple wipeout, Rob? He'll give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 310.

Feda: S (310)
Jim: P (Lucky P!) (620)
Elaine: N (x2) (310)

OCCUPATION

Elaine solves TENNIS PLAYER.

Still a long way to go, but Elaine starts the next round. Before that, she'll take an Oneida 58-piece cutlery set, a Royal Selangor goblet set, or a Whirlpool microwave.

Elaine picks the goblets.
