Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

We continue to track the Olympic Torch relay, and it's now in Port Pirie!

Today's contestants:
Danielle Denovan
Feda Debar (returning with $9,079 in prizes)
Steve Gregory-Jones

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

Round 1

THING

DANIELLE	Feda	Steve
BANKRUPT! (0)	Free Spin! 150: S (DUD!) (Free Spin used) BANKRUPT! (0)	Lose A Turn!

120: T -50: E (x2) 310: S (Repeat)	275: R (x3) Lose A Turn!	200: F 150: N (x2) 220: L (x2) Solve: Correct!
70	275	420

THING

Steve solves FLORAL ARRANGEMENT.

Lovelier than the round itself. How about some lovely prizes? How about a Denver 10-pin bowling package, a Corningware dinner and cookware set, or an Olympic video collection?

How about we give the dinnerware and cookware to Steve?

Danielle	Feda	Steve
70	275	420
		Dinner/cookware

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

Puzzler A

NAME

The answer is SIGMUND FREUD.

We've arranged this BONUS prize for the Wheel! One of our players could take a Coinwatch watch and desk clock!

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

Round 2

PHRASE

Danielle	FEDA	Steve
	275
	230: T (x3) 230: S 375: L (x2) Lucky L! -50: E (x4) 180: H (x3) Lose A Turn!	BONUS: R (x2) (+180 value) 450: P BANKRUPT! (630)
70	1,615
385: D 660: W 180: Y Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
1,295

Another "one spin too many" moment by Steve thanks to Rob, who is embarrassed about it.

PHRASE

Danielle solves PUT YOUR SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL.

She has no reason to be angry at Rob, because Danielle's the one to take a German glassware set, a food waste disposal unit, or a JNL 51-cm colour TV.

Danielle grabs the television.

Danielle	Feda	Steve
1,295	1,615	420
Television		Dinner/cookware Clock/watch

We begin our next round.

Round 3

FILL IN THE BLANK

Danielle	Feda	STEVE

		660: T (x3) 610: R -50: A (x2) -50: E (x2) 310: S 310: G
	1,615	1,790

FILL IN THE BLANK

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

We need to work faster, so we'll ask Rob to give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!

Steve shouldn't feel so bad anymore. Rob gives it another spin, and consonants are worth 145.

Steve: H (1,935) (He starts to solve but is buzzed.)

(Danielle tries to spin.)

Danielle: "K for cat." (145)

FILL IN THE BLANK

Danielle solves TO KEEP A STRAIGHT ?. Straight to the bonus 200 for filling in the blank!

She completes it by saying face.

How can she keep a straight face after what happened here? But we know she'll smile at one of a Don Bradman coffee table, a Stanley Rogers 44-piece cutlery set, or Royal Selangor desk accessories!

Danielle is happy to pick the cutlery.

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

Puzzler B

PHRASE

The answer is TO RAKE IN THE MONEY.

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!

Round 4

AUTHOR & TITLE

Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 220, and Danielle begins.

Danielle: T (DUD!)
Feda: S (x2) (1,835)
Steve: W (DUD!)
Danielle: M (DUD!)
Feda: R (x2) (2,055)
Steve: N (2,010)
Danielle: H (220)
Feda: P (2,275)
Steve: G (2,230)
Danielle: F (DUD!)
Feda: L (2,495)

Steve: K (x2) (2,450)

Only vowels left!

AUTHOR & TITLE

Steve slips by saying SHAKESPEARE'S KING LEAR.

Danielle solves SHAKESPEARE KING LEAR properly, and Rob explains what happened.

The only difference is that Danielle is the one to take the final prize: a Video Ezy DVD player with 1 year of rentals, Victory curtains and blinds, or a 7-day Maui Rental motorhome holiday.

Danielle ends with a motorhome holiday.

Danielle	Feda	Steve
1,860	2,495	3,165
Television Cutlery Maui Rental		Dinner/cookware Clock/watch

The consolation prizes are Baron & Baroness lady's and gent's leathergoods and Parker Pens.

Feda leaves with the $9,079 in prizes that she already won.

BONUS ROUND:

Forget that last round. Steve will enjoy an even better prize from the Golden Wheel!

With the Proton Satria GTI worth $27,990, there's also a $7,900 cash Jackpot somewhere!

Steve plays with 3,165 for three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Guava lady's clothing selection ($4,000)

Quickly to the puzzle!

Bonus Puzzle

GEOGRAPHICAL

He won't have much time, but he picks NST, and A.

GEOGRAPHICAL

He says STRAIT, then he says STURT DESERT with half a second left to take the clothing! Rob's not worthy! Steve has $5,070 in prizes and will play again tomorrow!
