Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Adrian Austin (returning with $40,807 in prizes)
Michelle Russell
Phillip Hunt
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 GOLDEN WATTLE.
It's not unusual for our BONUS prize to be something like a Vax V12 vacuum cleaner.
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 PYOTR TCHAIKOVSKY.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
This might be what ends Adrian's run. Rob has to give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 385.
Michelle: N (3,400)
Phillip: G (1,380)
Adrian: L (DUD!)
Michelle: D (3,785)
Phillip: R (1,764*)
Adrian: B (DUD!)
Michelle: M (DUD!)
Phillip: P (DUD!)
Adrian: W (385)
The consolation prizes are a Cobb & Co. Year 2000 clock and Parker Pens.
BONUS ROUND:
Blame Adrian for winning everything, because Michelle starts with nothing...except for a chance a Major Prize like these:
An above-ground pool
A Whitsunday cruise
King and Lady Cobra golf sets ($5,050)
Hilton Vienna Plaza holiday ($10,813)
Proton Satria XLI ($16,990)
A $8,800 cash Jackpot will also get her a little closer to Adrian.
With 3,785, Michelle is the one to start with three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Perfection! Adrian solves TOM JONES.
Has he waited enough time for a car? He didn't have to wait long to pick a Yashica compact camera, a Sax cosmetics package, or Korjo travel products from us.
Adrian picks the camera.

Phillip solves THE HOME STATE OF MANHATTAN. He'll be coming back home with 200 more if he can answer the clue!
"Start spreading the news! I'm in New York!" Rob hadn't even asked Phillip for it yet.
He won't be asking for a prize until we can show some to him. Phillip must wait and look at a pair of limited-edition porcelain dolls, a garden lighting package, and a Tissot Swiss-made watch.
And then he'll take the watch.

PHRASE | |||||||||||||||
Phillip slips with TO BRING LIGHT. He quickly says TO BRING TO LIGHT, but we must take his first guess.
Adrian properly solves TO BRING TO LIGHT.
We've been bringing to light that Adrian still has to catch up. We'll take our minds off that with a Nachtmann glassware collection, a Furitechnics knife set, or an email and internet telephone.
Adrian takes the knife set.

Adrian solves WRITING DESK. At least he ended with a solve, because he is now defeated.
Perhaps we could offer a writing desk as a prize for solving this puzzle. Or we could show him a Coffs Harbour resort holiday, a Coffex coffee package, and Royal Selangor dining accessories.
Adrian's final prize is a coffee package.

She says ANNE, and then she discovers that it's ANNA KOURNIKOVA just after the buzzer. Wow. Michelle must play again tomorrow.
