Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Annette Brooker
Phil Bruce
Adrian Austin (returning champion)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Phil solves TEST PILOT.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is SALVADOR DALI.
Let's test our contestants with this BONUS. Will one of them pick up a Tissot Swiss-made watch?
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is MUSIC OF THE HEART.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Adrian: T (3,140)
Annette: R (DUD!)
Phil: P (DUD!)
Adrian: D (5,640)
Adrian solves NEEDLESS TO SAY.
Annette just had terrible luck today. She and Phil will both receive Spotters sunglasses and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
Needless to say, things just got much easier for Adrian. We think we're about to give away a major prize, and it might be:
Pair of Swiss-made watches
A Yarra Valley holiday
Sevylor/Honda Marine inflatable boat ($3,020)
Thailand Royal Orchid Sheraton holiday ($4,890)
Proton Persona GLI ($14,990)
Adrian might need a little extra money, so why not go for the $8,200 Jackpot?
We add 8,750 to his previous 2,710 for 11,460, bringing Adrian up to seven consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
6-day Mount Buffalo Chalet ski holiday ($4,790)
This puzzle might be even easier than the last!
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
The Olympic Torch relay is still going on! Now, the torch is in Naracoorte!
Today's contestants:
Annette Brooker
Phil Bruce
Adrian Austin (returning champion)
Rob asks what Annette would like to win...and she'd be happy with the Parker Pens. 
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

Phil solves TEST PILOT.
We're just getting ready for takeoff! We're also taking a Nintendo 64 with Donkey Kong, a Tosca luggage collection, and a JNL microwave with us!
Only one for Phil, however, and it will be the microwave.

CLUE | |||||||||||||||
Adrian solves THE CAPITAL OF SPAIN. Don't think of calling our bonus 200 pathetic! It can still help if he answers the clue!
He hits the front by answering Madrid.
We can't sneak a fondue set into this round, either. It's just a skin care package, a Darling Harbour cruise, or a Multelink smartphone system that Adrian will pick.
And he'll have the phone system.

Perfection! Adrian solves PEPPERMINT TEA.
And again, we have to wait for that Proton. To keep Adrian occupied, he'll pick from a Minelab metal detector, a Royal Selangor goblet set, and a Nylex outdoor living/gardening package.
He picks the goblets.

Adrian solves NEEDLESS TO SAY.
And needless to say, Adrian is our winner again. But we also need to give away one of a portable gas heater, a Mikasa dinner set, and an Apollo window blind selection.
Adrian's last main game prize is the dinner set.
