Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Scott Wieland (?)
Steve Gregory-Jones (returning with $5,070 in prizes)
Lee Skelley (female)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is EDGAR ALLAN POE.
Time to break that barrel and reveal our BONUS! Just call a letter, and you'll win a Yashica by Tasco Sales automatic compact camera!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
He says glass. The gift is china or platinum.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Can Lee do three Satria spins in a row, or will Rob stop her so he can give the Wheel a spin? When he takes control, consonants are worth 660.
Lee: S (1,020)
Scott: T (x3) (1,190)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is PYRAMIDS OF GIZA.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 265, and Scott will begin.
Scott: T (DUD!)
Steve: R (265)
Lee: N (x2) (1,285)
Scott: D (265)
Steve: G (530)
Lee: L (1,550)
Lee says DARLING DOWN.
Scott: B (530)
BONUS ROUND:
That small spin from Rob keeps Steve under 4,000, but we're confident he can win another major prize like these:
Launceston holiday
Pair of skillfully crafted watches
Driclad above-ground pool ($4,220)
Hilton Vienna Plaza holiday ($10,813)
Proton Satria GTI ($27,990)
Keep your fingers crossed that he can win the Jackpot, which is up to $8,000!
With 3,955, Steve is the same as before with three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Pair of Raymond Weil 18-karat gold watches ($6,924)
But the same puzzle would be too easy. Here's a new one!

Steve solves PASSENGER SHIP to lock in that first half of the car. Lucky him...the one remaining consonant was a red N. 
But Steve's just getting the bad luck out of the way, and good things await including a Vidal Sassoon hair care package, a Nintendo 64 with Donkey Kong, or a Tiffany small appliance package!
Steve picks the Nintendo 64 for his 11-year old son.

Steve's tempted to spin, but he just solves TWENTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY GIFT. An extra 200 is this puzzle's gift if he answers the clue.
He says glass. The gift is china or platinum.
One of these other gifts should be tempting for Steve, as there's no risk to taking 6 Trevor Opray prints, a mobile e-mail service, or a Tosca handbag collection.
It's safe for Steve to take the handbags.

Scott solves GIANT TORTOISE.
It will take some better luck for a giant prize, but a Mikasa dinnerware set, a Nylex outdoor living/gardening package, or a Royal Selangor goblet set is a good start for Scott.
He'll have the dinner set.

Scott solves DARLING BASIN.
His luck is almost as bad as Steve, but the good news is that solving a puzzle allows Scott to take a Whirlpool top load washer, a Pierre Cardin watch collection, or a Schott Zwiesel glassware set.
Scott's final prize is a washing machine.

Lee's luck was even worse. She and Scott take home an Omni telephone and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.
