Exciting prizes just waiting to be won, including...

7-day houseboat holiday in Fraser Island worth $6,010!
Longines 18-karat gold gent's watch worth $12,500!
A Renault 19 hatch car worth $25,990!

It's the greatest Wheel around, Wheel of Fortune!

In the pre-game, we see Adriana is wearing a suit with pants this time. She went to Burgo's area in Queensland, and she thanks the Hyatt and Marriott hotels for the accommodations!

Burgo also talks about a French Restaurant in Sanctuary Cove, where a guy supposedly ate 2 kg of snails in 2 minutes and 22 seconds. He didn't get sick...but he was just feeling a bit sluggish.

Today's contestants:
Deborah Perenti: Clerk who "loves talking", and would like to see a shark close up
Daniel Jensen: Works in a cinema and loves singing, from Broadbeach Waters
Brad Wilson (returning with $6,058 in prizes)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $400, and here's our first puzzle:
