Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

We follow the torch for another show, and it's now in Colac!

Today's contestants:
Aneta Dimovska (?)
Adrian Austin (returning with $36,623 in prizes)
Steven Kurlander

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

Round 1

THING

ANETA	Adrian	Steven
BANKRUPT! (0)	130: T (x2) 200: S (x4) 200: N 150: L (x2) Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
	680

THING

Adrian solves STAINLESS STEEL.

So Rob says it's used to make a lot of household things, but it might be too small for a Hills children's play centre, an Avanti audio package, or a Roger David $400 men's clothing voucher.

Of these prizes, Adrian wants the men's clothing.

Aneta	Adrian	Steven
	680
	$400 clothing

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

Puzzler A

PLANT

The answer is FOUR-LEAF CLOVER.

We can't put a stainless steel BONUS space on the Wheel, but we can use it to award a University Games board game collection!

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

Round 2

WHERE ARE WE?

Aneta	ADRIAN	Steven
	180: T (x2) 180: R (DUD!)	230: S (x3) 230: N (DUD!)
	180	230
450: R (Repeat)	180: L (x2) -50: A (x2) 430: D (DUD!)	230: C 610: M (DUD!)
	310	460
145: P (x2) 610: W (DUD!)	610: G 230: B 1,500: K Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
145	2,650

Steven calls "M for Michael Pollack", and the audience cheers before the buzzer sounds.

WHERE ARE WE?

Adrian solves KILT BAGPIPES CASTLES. Another 200 for his own castle if he can tell us where we are!

And he can. We are in Scotland.

We won't be playing the bagpipes for this prize display. Adrian just solves another puzzle for a Tissot lady's watch, a Saas racing seat, or a Rejman lawn maintenance system.

Adrian takes the lawn maintenance system.

Aneta	Adrian	Steven
145	3,530	460
	$400 clothing Lawn system

We begin our next round.

Round 3

GEOGRAPHICAL

Aneta	Adrian	STEVEN
		460
		375: R (x5) 230: T 375: F 450: B 385: G Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
145		2,275

GEOGRAPHICAL

Perfection! Steven solves GREAT BARRIER REEF.

His four-leaf clover is finally bringing him luck, if he has one. Steven now has the choice of a Royal Selangor glassware set, a Coringle cabin bed, or a pair of Waterman pens.

Steven picks the glassware.

Aneta	Adrian	Steven
145	3,530	2,275
	$400 clothing Lawn system	Glassware

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

Puzzler B

TITLE

The answer is SHOW BOAT.

Before the final round, Rob notices that Steven's fans are holding up a "Good luck, Steve!" sign and a pair of tracksuit pants assuming he has just one pair. He does wear suits occasionally.

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!

Round 4

THING

ANETA	Adrian	Steven
145
770: S Lose A Turn!	375: R (x2)
915	375

THING

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

Now it's time for Rob to show us what he's made of! He'll give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 265.

Adrian: T (640)

THING

Adrian quickly solves CHEESE GRATER. "You're kidding!"

We're not. Adrian's used to taking all the prizes, and that includes a Whirlpool dishwasher, a Barossa Valley holiday, or an Alpha Home Spa health package.

Adrian ends this main game with a spa package.

Aneta	Adrian	Steven
915	4,170	2,275
	$400 clothing Lawn system Spa package	Glassware

Aneta could've used a good-luck charm of her own. She and Steven will both take home a Falcon Leathergoods business briefcase and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

Everyone's wondering how Adrian got that last puzzle. They're also wondering if he can win one of these prizes:
Motorised fun boat
Vanuatu holiday
Henry Griffitts golf bag, accessories, and fitting session ($4,000)
Chateau Yering Historic House Hotel holiday ($7,200)
Proton Persona GLI ($14,990)
We're sure everyone's waiting patiently for a Jackpot win, now with a value of $8,600.

With 4,170, it's another four consonants and a vowel for Adrian. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Chateau Yering Historic House Hotel holiday

As if this will truly be his final puzzle...

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

We think he knows what to do. Today, it's STRN, and E.

PHRASE

He's very close with TO BE IN THE SAFE, but he cannot complete TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. Adrian is still up to $40,363 in prizes and returns on Monday!
