Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Paul Cowan
Kerrie Moore
Steve Iacono (returning champion)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, we've got a SURPRISE, and we've got a puzzle on the board.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is A BOLT FROM THE BLUE MOUNTAINS.
Like a bolt from the blue, you could hit a blue BONUS space and take a Conair spa collection with The Facial Spa.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
Did we somehow gain an extra day before Steve could play?
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is OL' BLUE EYES.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
We just can't tempt Kerrie to spin again, as she solves SEAN CONNERY JAMES BOND. And now she won't be tempted anymore.
BONUS ROUND:
The name's Elliott. Rob Elliott. He's here so that Kerrie can win a major prize, and here's some of what we've got:
Three original artworks
Victorian high-country ski holiday
Fantastic Furniture 17-piece furniture package ($4,000)
5-night Whitsunday Island luxury yacht holiday ($4,424)
Proton Waja ($27,990)
Can we aim for a $4,800 Jackpot?
With 5,935, Kerrie is just short and picks four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Was that easy, or what? Now for a difficult choice between a Rotary unisex reversible watch, a Stanley Rogers 114-piece cutlery set, and a Thomas & Friends play set.
