Airdate: July 26, 2000
Today's contestants:
Michelle Russell (returning with ...a bunch of nothing.)
Chris Uzelac
Linda Dargen (?)
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 HERBAL MEDICINE.
A healthy spin could get you a nice BONUS prize! Is it time for a Coinwatch Australia Parliament House Coin of 1927 man's watch?
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 EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
The silver lining is that you can't lose your money. We ask Rob to give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 295, and Michelle begins.
Michelle: T (1,835)
Chris: S (295)
Linda: N (295) (She tries to buy a vowel after that.)
Michelle: L (2,130)
Chris: P (590)
Chris solves PUBLIC SERVANT to clean out everything!
Pain on both sides, with Michelle missing out twice! Both will receive a Retravision Micro Furnace and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
Things are looking good for Chris right now! He might not need too many letters to win a major prize like these:
Collection of lady's clothing
Cairns holiday
Driclad above ground pool ($4,220)
8-day Whitsunday Island cruise ($6,660)
Proton Satria XLI ($16,990)
We're letting someone new try for an $8,900 Jackpot.
With 5,140, Chris will get a little help from four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Holiday Inn Cairns oceanfront suite holiday ($6,830)
A little help with a little puzzle, that is...
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
A new contestant is travelling with us and the Olympic Torch! It's in Shepparton!
Today's contestants:
Michelle Russell (returning with ...a bunch of nothing.)
Chris Uzelac
Linda Dargen (?)
It's also the returning champ's birthday today, so we'd better give her a prize, or we'll be in big trouble. 
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

Chris solves JURASSIC ? NATIONAL ? SAFARI ?. It will be worth the wait if he takes the 200 by filling in the blank!
"I couldn't tell you." He couldn't say Park.
But we could tell him about our prizes for this round. Take a look around, and take a Zepter skincare range, a Tosca baggage collection, or a blue Epoch violin!
Again for his wife, it will be the skincare.
