The answer is ARCHAEOLOGIST.
While some of us dig into the past, we expect a BONUS in someone's future. Today, someone could dig up a Weber Kettle BBQ!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.

Pair of watches
Whitsunday Islands cruise

Proton Persona XLI ($19,690)
Plenty more cash as well, with a $9,500 Jackpot!
With 1,975, Brad falls short and must take two consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Not a big total, and not a big puzzle.

Lee solves KANSAS CITY. Wait...Kansas, or Missouri? Or Rob could just call it a "twin city". 
But Lee already has enough to think about with these three prizes. Just a few seconds to pick a Dr. Scholl massage package, a Scholastic software collection, or a Mistral kitchen appliance set.
Lee picks some kitchen appliances.

Michael is ready to call an R even before Rob gives the Wheel a spin! Consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!
Michael was more ready than Rob, as we can tell from that. Another try, and consonants are worth 150. Now, Michael can call a letter.

Lee solves TOAST RACK a little late to lock in half a car.
It's never too late to lock in one of our three prizes, so Lee's going to receive a Stanley Rogers 44-piece cutlery set, a Gatineau skin care collection, or a Moss garden pond package.
She'll have a cutlery set.

Michael guesses A LEAN'S LAIR.
Lee says A LOON'S LIAR.
Brad solves A LION'S LAIR. It might be easier just to take the 200 by answering the clue.
No lie. He's taken the money with his answer of den.
He'll now claw an extra prize from our studio. Could it be a Creola jewellery collection, a Zepter stainless steel cookware set, or a Whirlpool fridge?
It could be a fridge.

The consolation prizes are a Pixi Foto family portrait frame collection with photo session, and Parker Pens.
