Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Debbie Wilkinson
Adrian Austin
Steve Gregory-Jones (returning with $15,879 in prizes)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Perfection! Debbie solves THE THREE LITTLE PIGS.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is JIMI HENDRIX.
Actually, that's no big bad wolf. That's just a BONUS prize, a JNL Digi Wave 23-litre combination grill and microwave oven.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
There's a dark side to all the fun we're having. If we take too long, Rob must give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 660.
Adrian: R (x3) (660)
Steve: W (DUD!)
Debbie: N (DUD!)
Adrian: D (1,320)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 220, and Debbie plays first.
Debbie: S (DUD!)
Adrian: N (x2) (220)
BONUS ROUND:
Even without many letters, we have a good feeling that Adrian can solve one more puzzle for any of these major prizes:
Islander above-ground pool
Holiday in Vienna
7-night Novotel Launceston holiday ($4,866)
Proton Satria GTI ($27,990)
If he does, he'd better have spun the $8,100 Jackpot!
With 2,710, Adrian only has three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
7-night Novotel Launceston holiday
As for that puzzle, here it is:

Perfection! Debbie solves THE THREE LITTLE PIGS.
Pick one of three little prizes so our house doesn't get blown down. We think Debbie will love a SAX cosmetics package, EA Sports PlayStation games, or a Scala leathergoods desk set.
Debbie wants the cosmetics.

Adrian impresses us and solves FRENCH REVOLUTION. Rob asks if anyone in the audience got it that quickly.
Or maybe Adrian knew we only had so much time. No matter what, he's taking a home health spa, an Auto Telecom phone system, or a Stanley Rogers 88-piece cutlery set.
Adrian takes the cutlery set.
