Airdate: July 24, 2000
Today's contestants:
Adrian Austin (returning with $40,363 in prizes)
Hamish Matheson (Sorry, Adrian. You're red this time.)
Simone "Sim" Williams
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 LIGHT HOUSE OF ALEXANDRIA.
Hit me with your best shot for a great BONUS prize! Fire those pegs away, and you could win a Royal Selangor wine accessory kit!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We don't have any diamonds for him right now. Hamish could win some later, but this solve gives him an Echo brush cutter, a software package, or a Dentons bedding package.
Sim can finally be friends with the Wheel.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is CENTRAL AFRICA.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Adrian's probably nervous after that bell. Rob gives the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 2,500! Is luck on Adrian's side?
Adrian: T (x2) (2,760)
Hamish: S (DUD!)
Sim: R (DUD!)
Adrian: N (5,260)
Hamish: P (DUD!)
Sim: L (2,500)
Adrian: B (7,760)
Hamish: C (DUD!)
Sim: M (DUD!)
Adrian: H (DUD!)
Hamish: D (DUD!)
Sim: F (DUD!)
Adrian: W (DUD!)
Hamish: Y (2,500)
Hamish solves VANITY TABLE on the buzzer ...and he was just in time.
BONUS ROUND:
No matter where he plays, Adrian just keeps winning. We think he'll also keep winning prizes like one of these:
His-and-hers golf sets
European holiday
Proton Satria XLI ($16,990)
And now a $8,700 cash jackpot is waiting for him!
We add 9,325 to his previous 4,170 for 13,495, so Adrian can win this with eight consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Holiday Inn Cairns holiday ($6,830)
Another week of "major" puzzles starts now.
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Our champ can keep travelling with the Olympic Torch to Swan Hill.

Perfection! Adrian solves SPEED SKATING.
And he's speeding over to one of our first three prizes! Or maybe a Coinwatch lady's watch package, a Danoz Direct shaving collection, or a Driza Bone roading kite riding coat could speed to him!
Adrian is looking at the watches.

He'd like to grab a television.

As if Adrian should hog all the prizes. Hamish takes nearly everything today, including a Schott Zwiesel glassware set, a Creola jewellery collection, or a Meyer cookware package.
Hamish needs the cookware.
