Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
David Lewis
Raquel Veller
Chris Wallace (returning with about $10,000 in prizes)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, but we've also added a SURPRISE to the Wheel! Here's our first puzzle:
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is LLEYTON HEWITT TENNIS.
This is Bonus Prizes For Dummies: spin the BONUS, call a letter, and win a Homebase Lifestyle Concepts 31-piece white china dinner set. Who needs a book?
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 KASEY CHAMBERS NOT PRETTY ENOUGH.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500, and David was ready to spin before the second Puzzler was even revealed!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

He could shower himself with a $11,200 cash Jackpot!

He'll take the leathergoods.

David solves NUMBER OF PLANETS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. He's happy with the top-dollar already, but how about an extra 200 from answering the clue?
Never mind. He guesses seven before Rob immediately says nine.
After the bonus and surprise, we're now at prizes six to eight. These are a Prima Akai TV/VCR combo, some Hygenix skin/beauty products, and a Valvoline car care package.
David wants the TV/VCR combo.

Chris reads what's on the board. Raquel just got the answer a few seconds too late.
We've only got room for so many puzzles. Chris takes this one, and he also takes an Ashton electric guitar with amp, a Royal Selangor glassware set, or a 2-night Sydney romantic escape.
Chris is tone deaf, so he'll pick the glassware.

To make it even worse, all he can do now is watch Rob give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth... Lose A Turn!
Maybe letting David spin was a better idea. Rob will do it again, consonants are worth 460, and David begins.

Chris solves TURKISH BATH. Not quite enough for the win.
But his solving skills are good enough to take one more prize. Chris will end with a Husqvarna sewing machine, an Auto Telecom digital phone system, or a GrandAir air conditioner.
Chris finishes with the air conditioner.

Raquel was one letter away from a solve in that third round. She and Chris will receive a Prima Akai digital CD/alarm clock radio and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.
Chris goes home with about $15,000 in prizes.

He couldn't do it. David says ONE MOMENT, but he cannot solve ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND. If he's lucky, he could spin it again tomorrow.
