Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Roz Gowling
Adrian Austin (returning with $22,882 in prizes)
Brad Locksley
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 ALL IN GOOD TIME.
You won't need this BONUS prize to see how far away that car is, but you'll still have a good time with a new Tasco telescope!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
For Brad, we also strategically played slowly enough that Rob would have to give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 660.
Adrian: P (1,470)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is RABBIT-EARED BANDICOOT.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 375, and Roz will start.
Roz: N (DUD!)
Adrian: R (375)
Brad: T (375)
Roz: S (x2) (770)
Adrian: D (DUD!)
Brad: L (DUD!)
BONUS ROUND:
Could he use a second fridge? Maybe it's available as part of a major prize package here! We'll see some of the prizes:
Portable family fun boat
Thailand holiday
7-day Thursday Island holiday ($8,070)
Driclad above-ground pool ($4,220)
Proton Persona GLI ($14,990)
And he could buy that extra fridge with a $8,400 cash Jackpot.
With 3,145, Adrian has just another day with three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Pair of Rado Swiss-made sapphire and crystal watches ($3,920)
Just another day with another puzzle:

Brad solves HOT PROPERTY to take possession of half a car.
Unfortunately, he can't ask for the other half as a prize by trading a Tissot bi-colour sea star watch, a Mistral kitchen appliance set, or a Conti Moda jewellery collection for it.
Brad must settle with some kitchen appliances.

Adrian solves EASTER ? SCRAMBLED ? BAD ?. He's not so bad himself if he can take an extra 200 for filling in the blank.
He's good. He fills in the word eggs.
These prizes aren't so bad, either! Adrian could soon own everything including a Kookaburra sporting package, a Dorling Kindersley family reference collection, and a Valvoline car care package.
From these, Adrian will pick the car care for his sisters.

After Roz is buzzed out, Adrian just solves TISSUE PAPER.
Just to make it even easier for Brad, he only has to watch as Adrian picks this last prize: a Whirlpool refrigerator, a Victory curtains and blinds set, or a Stanley Rogers 88-piece cutlery set.
Adrian came here for white goods, so he's taking the fridge.

It's enough for him to solve SHEEP STATION and take the watches! Rob just stares blankly at the board, admitting he's not worthy. Adrian brings his total to $29,583 in prizes, and he'll play another day!
